General Discussion Area / Oh bugger!

« on: 11 April 2023, 14:24:47 »

We're having our kitchen tarted up a bit ... new worktops etc. The fitter put the induction hob in the garage out of the way .... he's just come in - 'can I show you something?'
He's just put one of the new worktops on top of it & broken it!!!! They won't be making much in the way of a profit on the job now. Just looked at an equivalent replacement Neff hob ..... around £1000!

General Car Chat / blowing exhaust

« on: 01 March 2023, 18:09:17 »

I've noticed, but tried to ignore, that the exhaust on my Smart 451 has been blowing. Today, I eventually stuck my head under the back of the car today. To say it's blowing is an understatement! The flexi has practically parted company with the back box. And the remnants of the two bolts on the flange from the flexi to the rigid part of the exhaust don't look like they'll ever move.
MB only want £400+VAT  I think I'll be looking for a replacement flexi ....

General Discussion Area / dehumifiers

« on: 28 November 2022, 15:19:01 »

I discovered a pi55ed wet through carpet last week as a result of leak in my central heating - heating switched off over the week end while I was at work until I could find the actual leak. Found it today .... a pin hole in a T piece upstairs 

 ..... underlay is still wet/damp.

Any suggestions good or bad on dehumidifiers?

Went to the local garden centre today. Loads of stuff for Halloween & Christmas etc including 'snowman' chocolate lollies. AFAIK snow only comes as white until it's made dirty, so WTF dreamt up a brown snowman?

General Car Chat / whose fault?

« on: 10 May 2022, 22:12:03 »

'you' are turning right onto a main road from a side road.
A car on the main road coming towards you on your right is indicating left to turn left into the road you're tuning out of.
You move forward to make your right turn ..... meanwhile
the car behind the car tuning left overtakes said car & broadside you.

Genuine question ..... who's to blame? You? Or the overtaking car?

Asking for a friend!  (honestly not me but my young nephew)

Been having a clear out in my garage and found a single centre cap for a Senator cross spoke alloy centre cap. Does anyone want or know of anyone that might want it before it goes into the scrap alloy bin? The badge from the middle is missing.

Free to a good home.

General Discussion Area / Twin rotor helicopters

« on: 31 August 2021, 22:47:53 »

Is there a smaller Chinook type military helicopter?
We were at Croome National Trust today & helicopter flew over. I want to say it was a Chinook but it didn't look big enough. I've stood next to one years ago on the Falklands so know they are HUGE .... perhaps this one today was just flying higher than I thought  🙄
