Just had a look and I can’t believe you have to pay £12 a day parking. When i go up in January for the furniture show it is always free parking. That in itself puts me off going cause im a tight bastard 

I think its now £16 for parking if not pre-booked

You're still all wrong. The only Beanz comes in a gayish blue labelled tin.

Thanks 

Tiles are ceramic 

Take a photo, as I doubt a developer would use anything other than standard, cheap flexible floor tiles.

Been playing the old game of lets swap the headunit as many times as possible.  Now if I could merge all 3 headunits I have to make one good one....

"What could possibly go wrong?"

Have you driven a Tesla lately? 3 might be worth the wait

I think I'd be wary buying a Tesla currently, given the state of the company's finances, and history in the tech industry where a high profile CEO gets kicked out.

Thats on top of my waryness with plugin EVs (but that's because a) they don't meet my current requirements, b) nobody makes a viable, durable battery)

Ah yes, golf... A woefully effective way to ruin a walk to the bar/pub 

I used to play it as a way of trying to maintain some small level of fitness - one of many downsides to having a career as an office self-abuser.

It was effective (an fat bastard lugging a bag of bats around over his shoulder, and walking 3 times the distance of anyone else), and I saw lakes, woods and streams that I never knew existed



I lost my bats in "the incident", never did replace them.

General Discussion Area / The latest outrage

« on: 06 November 2018, 18:59:16 »

Having just seen the news about the latest Grenfell outrage...

...the incident was in extremely poor taste, but arresting 5 people is a bit extreme, isn't it?

Don't dis The Colonel's secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices.  Their beans are shite though.

OK......so soggy beanz and stringy chicken float your boat.

I've had a fair amount of crap chicken from KFC in my time, but never stringy.

Now, American McDonalds chicken <whatever they call nuggets/dippers there> are horrible, stringy crap.

Don't big burly men play with odd shaped balls on bank holidays?  Given the parking issues that causes on the local roads, if they are playing, that could be an issue.  And, no, I'm not donating my drive again.

Just checked with Mrs TB, and she has confirmed that Beanz Meanz Heinz.  End of.


Anyone who disagrees is wrong. You know it, I know it, my mum's dog knows it.

Andy as you are our beans expert but anyone else might know too,

What is the answer to how many beans makes five?

This was a popular and irritating question adults asked children back in the early 60’s. Then they thought the answer was hilarious. I suspect it was on a tv show at the time.

I was always taught:

2 beans
Half a bean
A bean and a half
And a bean


But the shermans do it slightly different.
