Is it Stuart's model company? Or Vulcan Iinsurance?

Castle Cement. Was it also called Ribble Cement? The on at Clitheroe.

My super laptop that I bought in Shenzhen five years ago isn't good enough for Windows 11. It needs augmenting with a better graphics card and SSD storage chips. I suppose 5 years service is good and I don't intend buying another. There must be more to W11 than I thought.

Congrats Ian and Sally. Enjoy yourselves.

Congrats to all. Well done!

Best wishes Ian. Have a great day.

But did all the others taste any better?

Not really.

Wet markets are widely used here and they are not very hygienic. They usually include vegetables as well some strange animals. We live next to one and my wife buys from there daily. We've never had a problem but really they are not healthy places and often it is hold your nose when you go in. Meat f...

I've seen tankards like this. You fill them with beer and ask someone to drink the beer. It all spills from the holes in the neck. But there is a small hole under the handle and covering this means the beer can be drunk as normal. So a bit of a joke vessel.

Not good but hanging in there. Much improved and in remission if anything. It is hard to predict what is happening. I'm surprised I'm still here!

I've just watched a food bank hand out in USA. A very smart SUV queuing for hours at the front of the line. When hand out began this grossly obese woman waddled out of her car to collect a box of goodies that I would have been proud to have in my cupboards. This waddling scrounger seemed to me to ne...

A kidney?

A frozen mushroom?

You are right. I can't do these things. It will only cost a tenner to get a tradesman in.No contest :biggrin2: EDIT: Jiaping has decided this unit will go in the dining area at our rental apartment and be installed by the site maintenance man. I honestly believed I was on the brink, I'm just struggl...

China, I hope you are fine and in Nanning. Take it easy. 😊 Thanks everyone for your wishes. I'm safe in Nanning. Beautiful ride down here in early morning sun.I have no strength and Jiaping and the car driver did a wonderful job of managing all the stuff we took with us. It included a heavy ceiling...

I went off the radar because at 4 am Wednesday morning I finally gave in and we called an ambulance to transport me to Pingguo main western hospital. I was admitted as an emergency case and they immediately got to grips with stabilising me, so much so that I was able to discharge myself this (Thursd...

Good news Ian.

Thanks, Stanley. I'm not so good but struggling along.

The best LED bulbs I've found are the three colour ones 4000Kyellow/5000Kwarm white/6000Kwhite. Switch on and they are 6000k, switch off and then on within 10seconds and they are yellow. Switch off/on again and they are warm white. Of course they are dirt cheap here and I can experiment, never paid ...

Thanks.

Wow China, that’s wonderful news 👍. A hearty hug from Marilyn and me. All the best and enjoy being home and taking it easy. How is Mrs China, very relieved I expect. 😊 🥂 Thanks to everyone. They must not have wanted me downstairs :laugh5: My wife and family have gone through a lot of grieving this ...

Thanks for all your thoughts, much appreciated. Well, I'm happy to tell you I've made it through this episode and left hospital this morning. Isn't that a turnaround? I went in on Monday and every morning I was gasping for breath and thinking I couldn't go on. At 3am this morning I was sat outside o...

I am going into hospital today. I need oxygen therapy. It will probably be hospice care. If I can write again I will, otherwise goodbye my friends.

I suspect it is all connected with the Taiwan situation. Taiwan is about 1450 km due east of us.
