Re: COMPUTERS, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY

It's working fine for me, could potentially have been the Ionos upgrade impacting Stanley. I've not been in and had a look to see if it's been done.

Is it a scale ruler? Different units of measurements on each side?

I saw a picture of Sally's fish finger tea on Facebook. I hope she's not too badly damaged, she has my sympathy with the lower ribs.

Re: Miscellaneous DIY Projects (or bits of jobs)

I'm sure it would have the same affects for me but after spending £1,000 on the new set I can't justify any more expense and it really is adequate. I certainly wouldn't have bought a new surround system, it came up at the right price and I sold the old one a couple of days later and recouped half t...

Re: Old fashioned clean jokes

A man sees a sign outside a house - 'Talking Dog For Sale.' He rings the bell, the owner appears and tells him the dog can be viewed in the back yard. The man goes to the yard and sees a very nice looking Labrador Retriever sitting there. "Do you really talk?" he asks the dog. "Yes,&q...

Re: Miscellaneous DIY Projects (or bits of jobs)

My TV is limited by speaker size, they're made so slim there's no room for decent sized speakers. Hearing aids (we both wear them now) made a difference but the better quality surround system definitely improved things.

Re: Miscellaneous DIY Projects (or bits of jobs)

Bought a used Bose surround sound system a couple of days ago and finished the installation today. I managed to reuse the speaker cabling from the Sony system it replaced but had to reroute a lot of it, the Sony had the amplifier under the TV so all the speaker cables came from there. The Bose has t...

I've just bought a Sainsbury's meal deal for two, salmon en croute, cauliflower cheese, tiramisu and a bottle of wine for £12. I don't think I'd pay £229 for a bottle to be honest :biggrin2:

Re: HOUSEHOLD TIPS NOT FOUND IN WOMAN'S WEEKLY

A timely reminder - make sure your stock of vinegars does not run down. It has an almost eternal shelf life, and doesn't take up much room. They say you can get smear free windows using the White variety, but I haven't tested it yet. The balsamic (of course) is the Aldi cheap variety, but quite ple...
