I travelled from Zurich to Edinburgh on Swiss Air/Helvetic earlier this week I was really disturbed to see how sloppy their in-cabin safety checks were. The attendant missed several rows for pre-landing check. The guy in the exit aisle seat next to me was left sleeping with wireless headphones...

Anyone done it? I would like to repoint some parts of my house, using hydraulic lime, but it seems difficult to get the mix right and lots of scope for failure.

After searching for 2 years, several scammers on gumtree, a 700 mile round trip, severe hold-ups on the motorway, road closures, torrential rain, sweltering heat, I finally got this machine home. Shared with my son in law. I've been using it all week, reaching places which were impossible...

I have quite a bit of curvy lawn edges. It doesn't take a huge amount of time to cut with a strimmer, but I hate doing it. Has anyone got a powered lawn edger that works well??

I have a cheap scroll saw, but don't use it a lot, but I happened to see a Meddings advertised locally for a reasonable price. I didn't realise what a monster machine it was. I imagined from the ad. it was about half the size :LOL: Here's a picture of getting it out of the back of the car...

Whilst out walking a few weeks ago I collected some frog spawn from a small pond, thought my grandson would be interested to see tadpoles develop into frogs. Most seemed to have hatched, so got a large plastic box and some mud and plant life from the pond. We got some tadpole food and they have...

Marble Machine 😁

Just be careful. I have just had an attempt to hack into my Facebook account. I was chatting to the hacker via facebook messenger What they did was send a request to reset the password on MY account. They then sent me a message via facebook from my nephew's account which must have been hacked...

Well this little hoggy appeared this afternoon. It's really small, lucky to survive winter. Might take it in for a week to fatten it up if it seems to be struggling.

I'm gradually getting through my to-do list since retiring. Now time to put the pictures back up after redecorating....two years ago. I want to get a self levelling cross line laser, which will lock, so I can get diagonal lines. Budget, perhaps up to £150. As usual a bewildering choice out...

I found this web site for enhancing images. I have many old scanned family pictures which are a bit blurry, I tried a few images and at first was really surprised at how good it was, but then started to see the serious flaws in how it works. It's still a really interesting program. It seems to...

I found this site which shows the earth and some internet radio stations broadcasting. You can rotate the earth and each green dot is a radio station. Zoom in on the dot, click to listen. A bit like flightradar24, but radio stations. It's an http site, so not a secure connection. I'm not posting...

An interesting article here and here. It seems that "Amazon will directly compensate customers for valid claims of property damage or personal injury caused by third-party products sold on its platform, up to $1,000, or more in certain situations."

For about 2 weeks, I haven't been able to search for specific items on Facebook Marketplace (still looking for an old thicknesser locally). I could browse all and categories, but any search simply returned 'no listings' Coincidentally, this started immediately after I reported a user for an...

I got an email from Which? saying they were about to take the yearly payment for Which? legal service. I had cancelled it years ago, because the one time I called on it, I got useless advice. I called Which? explained how I had cancelled the legal service years ago. The assistant checked my...

I need to cut a 10mm wide slot in a 6mm thick bit of aluminium. Has anyone used a Bench mounted router and really good TCT bit for this? I think I would secure the angle aluminium to a large bit of wood first so I can restrict it's movement and handle easier. Really light cuts. Any thoughts?
