You may be right, Andy, though I think Beko are Turkish. Yes, I write for LegnoLab (though I've not written much lately - I really need to get my Wardrobe build into some sort of article format). I had an email from Francesco, my editor, just last night. He has two young boys who are now at...

PM distinterior, he is your man for Corian.

I had a board of bubinga once. I made a Chevalier mirror from it. Absolutely beautiful stuff. It was very expensive. I gave the rest of the board to my uncle, who made a dressing table from it. Well, I could always buy some more. My uncle is no longer around, but I wish I'd never parted with...

I've been thinking for a while that my life is not complete without another freezer. I have a fridge-freezer in the kitchen, a small FF under the stairs and a n under-the-counter freezer in the conservatory, but that really belongs to my mate Charlie who, very understandably, wants it back. So...

It's unfortunate that if I tell you exactly how to solve your problem, I shall get my knuckles rapped for advertising, which is against forum rules. It is a great pity as I have an excellent and very affordable solution to your predicament. Heigh ho. S

Yes, it is still standing, in a garden in Southwell. Mr. Bramley's garden, to be precise. I believe that the cottage and the garden with said tree now belongs to Nottingham Trent University and a lot of work is going on to try to keep the tree going for as long as is possible. It is rather...

Yes I did. S

I went shopping today. It was ridiculous. Lots of empty shelves. Are hens really going to stop laying? Well, I was protected. I got a few looks, a couple of generous smiles, but no-one, I mean no-one, took the Mickey, not even the teenage youths hanging around in the car park. I got a look...

They are fantastic. They make mine look very primitive, and I was very happy with mine until I saw yours! :mrgreen:

I realised after I had sent them - I only meant to send you two. I was going to pot the other two up myself! It's OK, I don't need them. My tree is budding very nicely thank you. I should have put a couple of the Red William offcuts in as well, it's shame to throw them away. Ah well, senility...

I have no idea why your poles should end up so much off centre, but I bet that was fun to hold as it was going round nineteen to the dozen!

At some point during the recent storms, I have lost a ridge tile. The tile is still on the roff, just not on the ridge, which is why I don't know how long it's been like that, I noticed it yesterday. We have a local Facebook group, so I asked if anyone could recommend someone. Within a few...

Quite possibly. You'll have to show me :)

I had 3 of those slices, Roger, Charlie had the rest. And he is as skinny as you are. Go figure, the world is not a fair place. Doug - thanks, I'll bear that in mind. But I did cook a (roadkill, but still warm) pheasant once. It was like eating my shoes.

I want to cold smoke, so the challenge is to get the temperature down as low as possible without the darned thing going out. I've only every done hot smoking. I have a Cameron stove-top jobbie and it's great for a haddock fillet, or possibly even two, but it's nowhere near big enough for any...

I was planning to use my offset smoker BBQ. I have one a bit like this:

Can't argue with that! :)

I want to try this, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQUUb8kMfQA I wonder if you have to learn to talk funny first?

Well I'll give them a dip and pot them up tomorrow. If you'd like a couple, PM me your address and I send them over.

They look better in your picture than in theirs. Is 15mm the overall length or the length of the thread? That is either short or ridiculously short. S
