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.

I've given up waiting for a physio appointment with the NHS. I got the open referral letter and contacted my medical insurer this morning, initial assessment is at 5:30 this afternoon. Initial assessment and a session of 'manipulation' done. The 5ft slip of a girl has strong hands and I am certainl...

I'm fortunate to have it as an employment benefit.

It's proper with one extra comment despite having 1 hour 20 it could still have done with another 10 minutes. Of course, could be our oven or the shelf setting. It's fully cooked and but could have done with being a bit firmer in the centre. Learning curve for me as I don't normally do big cakes. :...

At 50 yards with a tele sight, I thought I would do better.

Yesterday actually but realising what a lousy shot I am
