    Small dovetail box

    Looks good, Paul. I particularly like the dovetailed handles. A nice touch, I thought.

    .

    Not quite sure why I should pay his mortgage or rent, though. The guy should get a job. Or work two jobs. Otherwise benefits becomes a lifestyle choice and that is not what was intended with the welfare system. It is supposed to be a safety net. A temporary measure. I have worked and paid my...

    What ideas have you had for reducing Electricity consumption

    There is something to be said about that. As I mentioned, the 15-in-1 is a bit cumbersome for me, so I only use it for the Sunday roasts. I would use it more if I could permanently site it where it is used, but our kitchen is not really big enough to do that. So there is a risk that it will fall...

    What ideas have you had for reducing Electricity consumption

    The 15-in-1 model incorporates a pressure cooker which cuts down cooking time enormously. Also, the machine works out cooking time based on what the probe sensor tells it, which means perfect cooked meats every time. I still steam veggies on the hob, though. You can still buy the 15-in-1 for...

    What ideas have you had for reducing Electricity consumption

    I did buy the 15-in-1 based on an earlier post by you, Phil. Fantastic for cooking roasts. Have not really tried it for much else as it is a big beast and a bit cumbersome to move from where it is stored to where it is used. The traditional oven is still much more convenient although I am...

    The moon

    It was a Cold War thing. An exercise in p*ssing the Russians off. In the history of this planet, only 12 men have left their footprints on the surface of the moon. I do not know how many of these heroes remain, but I suspect they will be long gone before another footprint is made in the dust.

    Ban on airtravel

    I am against the ECHR all the time it is used to prevent the deportation of foreign criminals or illegal immigrants. We have enough of our own scumbags on the street that we should not have to tolerate foreign parasites - who contribute nothing to society - breaking our Laws, raping our...

    Ban on airtravel

    I don't read the Daily Mail. I haven't read any newspaper or watched any so-called 'mainstream' TV news or political programme since 2016 when the bias from all of them became intolerable. But I have lived through many Parliamentary terms and have witnessed the performance and outcome of these...

    Ban on airtravel

    You would rather have the crooks and lying toads that comprised previous governments, then? How about that shining star of socialism that was Blair's Labour government? You know the one, it bankrupted the UK and took part in an illegal war that killed a million people and unleashed the islamic...

    Ban on airtravel

    I wonder if people have missed the fact that ALL modern politicians - and particularly Party Leaders - seem to have a managed to accumulate great wealth. The Kinnocks became very rich (how? They did ferk all!), Tony Blair became a multi-millionaire (as did his wife through being a 'top' HRA...

    Dangerous Pallets?

    Ah, Politics. IMHO there is no unbiased media source, whether it be printed or digital. I have not read a newspaper for decades and stopped watching any news or political programmes on TV in 2016. I only get my news from Twitter now. Apparently, Boris Johnson spends his entire days partying and...

    NINJA FOODI

    I bought an air fryer a couple of years ago (I think it was a Tefal). Used it only once before it was relegated to the store cupboard from where it has since been 'disappeared' (I think my eldest daughter may have acquired it, as she did the breadmaker). I do not miss it and am grateful for the...

    Luban Chinese Block Plane

    I agree and would prefer to follow my own moral compass rather than have one imposed upon me by a politician or political movement.

    I want some sardines

    For the first time in several decades, I actually had sardines on toast just the other night. I was a bit disappointed because I was really looking forward to using the little key to wind back the lid. No key and it was a pull tab opener. What a let-down. Also, the sardines were tiny! I must...

    How to benefit from smart meters?

    If you want a laugh, have a read of this (an article penned by a journalist who is also a passionate proponent of renewable energy): https://theswitch.co.uk/blog/technology/smart-meter-disadvantages#smart-meters-a-comedy-of-errors Other than that, I am finished with this thread. Do have a good...

    How to benefit from smart meters?

    And what, exactly, is that? Just accept what the 'experts' tell us to do, without question, I suppose?

    How to benefit from smart meters?

    Very good suggestion. I often wonder about all those streetlights that blaze away and pollute our night skies. Are they all LED? Also, just to work, Smart installations must use electricity. According to Smart Energy UK, the IHD/PPMID will cost the customer about £1 per year to run. Given that...

    How to benefit from smart meters?

    They could sell them to one of the EU countries that very sensibly avoided Smart Meters. You know, those technologically backward states like Germany, who found no economical argument to support smart metering. But then, they also did not have somebody like Ed Miliband, who kept commissioning...

    Yes, it is really like that.
