Re: COMPUTERS, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY
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...

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...

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

Re: Wine Lovers Corner
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

Re: 'Owt else or Any Other Business
Would be useful for tools. I'll take it off your hands if no one else can make use of it.

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...

Re: MEDICAL MATTERS
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...

Re: Boiled Fruit Cake
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. :...
