I bought my last pair of trainers from Boundary Mill, got a very good deal on them

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.

I've been for another physio appointment, that 5ft slip of a girl can certainly inflict some pain

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...

Boiler feed injector?

P&O Cruises opened up the booking, for 'speciality' dining, on my upcoming cruise (not long to go now), it crashed their website. Social media was full of commentary about it. I logged on this morning and booked tables at Sindhu, the 'Indian' restaurant on board and The Beach House, a Mexican/Ca...

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...

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.

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...

Lovely, thank you. I'll be in Barlick just before 5

Got it, thank you. It's going to be very useful, plenty of room for a few more power tools

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

Would be useful for tools. I'll take it off your hands if no one else can make use of it.

There are a lot of different sizes available online

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...

Putting new rubber feet on my aluminium stepladder, it's all excitement here

When I heard they'd found a cure for my dyslexia, it was like music to my arse.

Oh dear

Pain in the neck and shoulders.
