Re: HOUSEHOLD TIPS NOT FOUND IN WOMAN'S WEEKLY
They get very sensitive when anyone raises any questions about those early contracts (and some of the later ones as well with the usual suspects involving millions in 'consultancies.). I listened to M Hancock getting quite stroppy yesterday on Today.
I not that nobody has sued Private Eye yet for their reports about horrendous cock-ups with some of the dodgy contracts.

If you're thinking of installing an outside security light with a sensor consider mounting it so that it does not shine out into the street but illuminates only your own property. Some of the new LED lights are very powerful and can be extremely annoying!

Light pollution is covered by the 1990 Environmental Protection Act and local councils can take action against those in breach of it. There are a lot of people who don't realise they can't just put up a 500 watt light in their back yard.

( yet they still allow people to let their dogs and cats pee/crap in the back lane ?!)

Things over here have improved enormously. Chase the turd is the name of the game for all dog walkers. The dog handler must have an empty turd bag at hand even though they have just picked up one load. A walk through the park is becoming a pleasure.
Can't do much about cats though. Our garden is the local repository for all the neighbourhood cats or so it seems.
Re: HOUSEHOLD TIPS NOT FOUND IN WOMAN'S WEEKLY
Maybe a 500 w security light might stop other people’s cats peeing on our front door mat every night... I get sick of the stink of cat wee, when we don’t own a cat.
Re: HOUSEHOLD TIPS NOT FOUND IN WOMAN'S WEEKLY
I was sceptical at first but one of these stopped the cats coming in my front yard

Delphine Angua von Überwald is the first werewolf in the Ankh-Morpork City Watch, hired under Lord Vetinari's "special hiring procedures", at the same time as Detritus (a troll) and Cuddy (a dwarf).

I hope you've both read `Eric'. It's shorter than the usual Pratchett novels but features Rincewind and a lot of demons!

If you are ordering online and suddenly realise that you have ordered a small item from China, fear not. I have just ordered 10 carbide inserts for a lathe tool from Banggood. They cost £7.64 including postage and packing and were posted off the day after the order. They will get here faster than some UK retailers. This is only a small item but the same applies to larger parcels.

Re: HOUSEHOLD TIPS NOT FOUND IN WOMAN'S WEEKLY
Can't see why that would be a problem. Are you simply assuming that there would be trouble because they are a long way away in China?

Extending a pan of cooked veggies with a kilo of frozen peas is the equivalent of two more meals from the pan for only £1. That's cheap nutritious food!

Re: HOUSEHOLD TIPS NOT FOUND IN WOMAN'S WEEKLY
A kilo of peas sounds a bit risky to me.
Being an adventurous sort with grub - I tried some Black Turtle Beans recently.
Bit of a faff soaking and boiling - but I persisted. Quite enjoyed them added to a stir fry, but the after effects may prevent me from doing so again. They'll look good in a display jar though.

£3.50 per kilo!! Good God man you'll be suggesting caviar next for an accompaniment.
Nothing wrong with a Kilo of peas actually, remember I am cooking in bulk to save cooking every day.

Old dogs can be taught new tricks. Getting up later is working out fine.

I’d noticed Stanley, but didn’t like to say anything.
I know I'm in my own little world, but it's OK... they know me here.

I wouldn't have been upset Cathy. Not sure why it happened, perhaps I am getting older! Still having second sleep so I am certainly getting plenty of sleep.

Re: HOUSEHOLD TIPS NOT FOUND IN WOMAN'S WEEKLY
Don't buy a washing up brush with black bristles. In my experience they will not stand high temperatures and crumple as soon as they are used. I have just thrown my new brush away and gone back to the old one until I can find a suitable replacement.

Nothing new under the sun. I'm listening to a farmer milking his mares. That's right, he's milking horses and selling Mare's Milk. It's sold online, frozen.
Have a look at THIS.

Don't sand dry well-seasoned wood indoors! Big mistake. The fine dust is incredibly hard to eliminate.

Re: HOUSEHOLD TIPS NOT FOUND IN WOMAN'S WEEKLY
Washing up brushes. Yellow, blue or white bristles appear to resist weakening in boiling water but beware the black bristles, they simply crumple!
Yes, it's been a bit of an obsession this last few days. A good sink brush is essential! I have another replacement ready but the old one is performing quite well still......

If you're working with cutting edges you can't resharpen too often. Watch a good butcher with his knife and steel.
