I see the Hunts Cross Shopping Centre on the map … be careful when you ask the bus driver for a ticket and you’re in a hurry :thinking:

Is The Bazzadrome marked on the map an epicentre or is it a fallout footprint depending on wind direction?

Likeliest ranging grounds, mostly.

However, rumours are that the Bazzadrome is a bit like the Thunderdome. Many facts enter. Some opinions leave :smiley:

I have finally replaced my cracked personal phone. I am very much a function over form chap. I decided it was time when it tried to explode in my pocket.

After at least 25 years I have connected nearly all of my water butts to rainwater down pipes.
Thought I’d missed the rain, but more come, and now all water butts are overflowing (connected, but not yet properly!).

Have even bought another one - deal in Wickes, only just caught it (now only 3 left). I have a location/use for it.

One way or another, that water bill is going back down next year!

If your garden takes a lot of watering, do you have a garden meter? They charge more to dispose of wastewater than they do to supply the water, so it makes more difference than you might think. It’s pretty easy to do apparently, I keep meaning to get one myself as a friend in the Forest swears by his.

10th Anniversary of popping the question to Mrs P_F
In town to get a proper hair cut & beard trim so I dont scare the Grandkids next week.
Celebration lunch outside at the German Bierhalle.

Childish I know, but couldnt help but hum a little tune while walking in to use the facilities :roll_eyes:

Well we all know you’re coming home but don’t set your heart on meeting any silverwear when you get here. :lou_lol:

I had never heard of that.
However, I was more concerned with using rainwater, which is free.
With all the butts connected (including new 300 lr), I should have enough water to see to the garden through a drought.
The majority of the garden is taken up with growing vegetables, so water use can be high, or we starve!
Also addressing waste, which includes 3 pints of cold water coming out in the kitchen every time we turn on the hot tap. With cold water used to wash vegetables, this is then enough to keep a small water butt topped up.

762 days since my last one.
Not that it’s a thing or anything

And yes, just one, in the hope I can sneak out with Son-in-law later for more

I got a deal on a half ton of house coal (10cwt - don’t ask) 7 years ago and have just over 5cwt left. The 25kg plastic sacks it came in have all degraded because of UV light & Mrs C_S is not happy will the growing mess…especially as we burn mostly wood these days.

I’ve just bought a 5cwt galvanized steel coal bunker…officially a grown up or a blithering idiot?

Godwin’s Law? :thinking::smile:

Well lads, five years ago I was offered Hobsons Choice by the head abdominal consultant; have an operation I had possibly a 1 in 4 chance of surviving, or don’t have it and definitely croak within a year at best. I declined, and took my chances.

Turned out all I had to do to get well again was amputate the wife. :+1::+1: 6 stone heavier and fighting fit, (well, reasonably, :smile:) I’m 60 today. So there you go Mr Hilal, how do you like those fucking apples, eh? :grin::grin:
