I decided to make mine as mini pancakes so I could keep mine rolling while I was cooking everyone else's in the regular sized pan. Works well - more edge area for that crispy goodness!!

Specific task? Unblocking urinals. Urine crystalises in the pipework, solidifying into a big rock. Essentially athersclerosis of the plumbing. Dismantle and chip it out but the smell is so sharply acrid that sits in the back of your nostrils all day.

Yep. A little scrape of marmite added into the hot water that's used to hydrate the cous cous, stirred through as it thins in the heat.

My lazy lunch is a tin of sardines or mackerel, some cous cous and a bit of marmite. All sat in a drawer at work so no excuse not to have something! Sounds a bit odd but it suits me.

I've just retired a battered hot ice. Didn't think to look for a replacement. Shame!

Well I've got a couple of A24s on the way. To be honest, I doubt they'll work as rats are just too clever / suspicious but I have a need to up the pressure for a while...

Morning. You may have posted an update on your trial but can I check how you found it please?

The one difference is that this is all the slow accumulation of saved waste over a few years so is basically free money.

I'll probably wait a little while but I could do with the space! Just did a rough weigh up - 25kg of bare bright, 15 of insulated, 4 of dirty pipe, 6 of clean pipe. There's about ten lead acid batteries to go too. Always a bit more to add to the pile though....

It's this one in here: Not the best picture but the handle is willow burl at the front, yew at the back and some bits of brass in there too.

I think my favourite is a frosts blade that's fairly similar to a 120 but with a more interesting handle. It definitely makes a difference using something that feels nicer. I'll dig a picture out!

Probably depends on where you're selling. Scrap yard might be a bit suspicious that it's not just copper throughout. Then theres the cost of processing your own down. I've got a fair weight to weigh in at the moment. Should I be holding off???

I wear one most days. Duck down in all of them though. Some thinner, some thicker. I did get given one with some poor synthetic filling and it never got used. I like a good warm core but less worried about arms and legs - shorts all year too and in just a t-shirt today with pouring weather...

Yes - all of those! The little and often is a good one though.

I don't know. I did wonder if it might be a generational thing - I know of mixi but it's not particularly mentioned in conversation is it. That's why I thought a lot of younger folk wouldn't know of it but also wouldn't be keen on rabbit.

You could well be right. I'm might do some asking about and see what the response is.

Do you think so? I suspect not - I bet a lot of younger folk don't even know what myxi is.

That's not the delivery fault, that's just the products cosen. absolutely. I want to be in and out. Tesco used to have the details of what item was on what shelf - really handy when you couldn’t find something. It was through an app and store specific. The pickers had the info so might as...

On the flip side, I think paying the small fee for someone to go round the shop, pick it all and drop it to me is an absolute bargain. I went for a few bits today and it was such a waste of my time trying to find the few bits. Substitutions are minimal these days for us.

What's the plan?
