That didn't take long
Good job I didn't put it in the Mystery Objects thread

Let's see how long it takes...

...aching a bit after insulating and dry lining (plasterboards for those who don't know) my son's loft rooms yesterday. All good fun.

I will save Baptiste for tomorrow night......

Me too

The woman who started the 'Rescind Article 50' petition has received death threats, what is wrong with these people?

Home made beefburgers for us tonight I will be experimenting with beefburgers on Monday, adding a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda and a splash of carbonated water to the minced beef, makes them very light and 'fluffy'. One of my work colleagues brought in some spicy beef patties last week which use...

I'll bet it did!
Home made beefburgers for us tonight, with loads of salad, pickles and coleslaw. Col reports problems with finding thick, creamy coleslaw, it's all reduced fat stuff. We are going to have to make our own again.

Tesco finest extra creamy

Low carb lasagne last night. I roasted the aubergine slices for 30 minutes to dry them out a bit before using them as 'lasagne sheets' and used ricotta, eggs and a bit of double cream for the sauce. The ragu was a mix of beef and pork with onion, courgette, carrot, celery tomatoes, beef stock and a ...

She's very impressed, thank you again.

It nearly went into Politics Corner...

That looks great. I'm off on Friday so will drop by after taking 'er indoors to work. Thank you

Big Kev. My only knee trouble was due to rotating about my knee joint as I got out of the car. In effect the muscle had become lapped over the side of the knee bone and was stretched when I did this manoeuvre. Making sure the muscle was in its proper place and planting my foot squarely in position ...

I had private medical insurance paid for by the big company I worked for over a few years but I discovered that they only paid for visits to a consultant if it led to surgery. That's a nasty bit of small print... I have an excess of £100 in any February to February year, I've had £300 worth of phys...

I wqouldn't even know how to 'compress my files'. I just tell it to copy and it does it. I'll come back and enquire if I ever have a problem....

It's a very straightforward process and, if used on text files, saves a lot of space.

It will

..it looks like the problem is going to come down to water ingress somewhere. It could come down to a cracked or broken box on a pole or joints in an underground pit or roadside cabinet... If this is the case then wouldn't other broadband users nearby be affected? Could you canvas neighbours to fin...

It's just convincing your ISP that there's an issue with your line...

Us paupers with ADSL..... 17Mbps here. It keeps 3 computers (2 of them often on youtube) and a telly going. TV, desktop, laptop, CCTV stream and 2 smartphones. All seems to be OK here :-) I need to upgrade my powerline adapters to 1 gigabit as connectivity to the NAS is a bit slow with the 500s...

If it will stay stable for a while albeit at 20Mbps Look on the bright side, that's faster than most people get when their broadband is behaving. When I had a crackling line I was down to less than 2Mbps My ADSL is steady away at 18mbps, I'm connected to the cab by the police station which is very ...

Big Kev - Did you pull it in bits before you ordered the part ?

The seller did specify to remove the screen and make a note of the part number on the back of it, I did and it was indeed the same. The photo matched but I've been caught out by a picture before

Did you pick up the news item yesterday that the original stage prop door that triggered Larry Grayson's famous catch phrase, 'Shut that Door!', has been rediscovered during building operations and has been saved?

I did, I like snippets like that

I changed the sreen on my son's laptop yesterday, that's an interesting job with my big sausage fingers, it's an Asus x200ca with an 11 inch touch screen. The replacement was only £14 on Fleabay. I had a 500GB hybrid drive in the cupboard so that went in and I've upgraded it to Windows 10 (a definit...
