Oh, a £400+ hair dryer from the Snake Oil Salesman! Pity folk are still duped into paying stupid prices for pseudo technology. Its a heater and a fan at the end of the day, other well established brands are available at around the £15 to £30 mark which do the same job. Stupid is as stupid does as Forest would say. :smile:

Suitably risen to the bait. :extrawink:

Don't need to watch the video David. Recently took a dead Dyson vac to the skip. Council bloke that took it of our hands said "I'll shove it with all the other dead Dysons". Nuff said. :laugh5:

Oh and I have to say, it wasn't mine. :good:

I was bit a bit brain muddled yesterday, with the site dropouts you had to do speed reading and replies. :extrawink:

This is fascinating - we don't usually see much of Georgia (the country not the US state!)...

I tripped over this interesting video about Manchester's airports..... I never knew most of this.

Had enough of politics? I have. I don't think I can stand much more of this ridiculous campaigning. We might have needed six weeks for the process in earlier times, but surely not in the internet era. A fortnight would be plenty.

I'm watching a lot of Youtube, and have become a bit of a fan of these two likeable people. Their videos are well filmed and cleverly produced, and I've been to a lot of the places they go to. Their recent visit to Bury market was good, and is worth digging out. This tour of Richmond in N.Yorkshire I'd say is very good. I have known the town well, over a very long period of time - from Catterick Garrison in the 1960's and 70's, a radio monitoring research project in the 1980's, and leisure visits more recently. I've even taken the family to the Bishop Blaize for lunch.

Ignore nearly everything the politicians say - and watch this instead would be my advice. :smile:
