    Having had heart surgery, it's more akin to them lending you a vehicle while they fix yours. Your cardio pulmonary functions are delegated to machinery while they sort yours out.

    There's a man who attends the same cardio rehab as I do, who wears an "Old guys rule" t shirt with the slogan "shed happens". We had an outside big as well, in addition to the one in the bathroom (in the proper sense of the word), it was cold and full of spiders, but invaluable in a household...

    The Berkeley Hunt killed and took away our geriatric sheep last year to feed the hounds. Still had to pay for the privilege...Berks. As for "bathroom", it's no worse than toilet or lavatory, all euphemisms. Restroom is ridiculous, though!

    Ok, your anti current EV stance. Got it!

    Electric vehicles

    As far as I know, there is no equivalent of the MOT in the states. They have emissions tests, I believe, in some or all states, but that's about it. Have spent a short time in North Carolina, I can tell you that I've seen vehicles on the road that wouldn't come close to passing an MOT.

    Electric vehicles

    If course I've heard it, but I put it in the same category as "the camera never lies" and "things always happen in threes". Nonsense trotted out by people who can't be bothered to think for themselves. Having said that, I accept that you were using the phrase as a jokey reinforcement to your...

    You've obviously never needed to test smoke alarms, or you'd know that smoke without fire can be bought in aerosol cans.

    I'm slightly confused. Was the "silly ***" that I heard in my youth a variant of @RSE? Or was it a totally separate insult? I always assumed it was the equine beast, as in "*******". Is the slang "jacksie(sp?) related? Did "***" morph into "@RSE", or did the two terms merge into one after making...

    No cutout on mine, which didn't have a dust port either, until I made one.

    I replaced mine recently. I'd like to say it made a big difference, but to be honest, it's difficult to tell.

    Are you or know anyone who is coeliac?

    I'm very sympathetic to anyone who is truly coeliac, as opposed to "gluten intolerant", but isn't this a repeat of the 2017 thread?

    Sold Tacwise 18g Mains Finish Nail Gun

    I have a similar, though probably cheaper model, and it's about the only thing that won't work from my inverter system.

    Just to stir the pot, has anyone noticed...

    From what I've read, health tourism accounts for 0.3% of the NHS budget. Significant, but probably not the place to start, if trying to reduce costs or increase efficiency.

    Just to stir the pot, has anyone noticed...

    Really? Another friend or relative anecdote? I used to work for a Swedish company, and some of the directors were extremely rich, what with also being involved with Stena Line and Bang and Olufsen, amongst others. They whinged a bit about the high marginal tax rates, but didn't actually jump ship.
