Crikey! It's been a while since hearing that one! That is an old 'un! The first time I heard it was when I was a butler at Balmoral, and I remember the Queen cracking that joke at one of the informal dinner parties. A beautiful lady, with a wicked sense of humour! In my mind's eye, I can see...

I feared as much.... I might have to try the clay plant pot x 2 with tea light candle trick! Edit : Before folk point out the downside/danger of the above, it was only a joke! That said, I also came across this....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIZ_ByGv7CQ Might be fun....?

6' square, shiplap shed, with 18mm ply on floor and interior walls. 12v lighting, courtesy of solar panel, a charge controller, and a couple of older 12 car batteries feeding the LED lights. Surprisingly bright. Obliged to keep a few things in there that I'd rather not get rusty/affected by...

I have no need of blow up dolls, especially after employing Ping Nying as a housemaid/companion. Perhaps I should employ another? Maybe Ping has a sister? But it would cause a problem, of course - Which Thai to put on in the morning.....

Everybody seems to remember cabbie Fred Housego winning TV's Mastermind quiz all those years ago. Apparently all the contestants were allowed a dummy run-through before recording, in order for them to get used to the lighting, cameras, etc. In early "rehearsals" the TV crew had a lot of...

5.............4.................3.................2......................... :sneaky: Come on, Stu.....where are ya?

Yes, and I'm trying to keep a low profile at present anyway. I'm waiting for the postman to drop something off that I don't want her to see....my Xmas present to me. I'll use the old ruse of leaving it around in full view, and then when spotted, claim "Oh, I've had that for years!"

Anyone had a go at this, a camera lucida? https://www.printables.com/model/526409-lucida-3d I haven't got a 3D printer, but I'm guessing that this is a complicated build?

Without telling my beloved that this is the jokes page, I showed her the picture on screen. "Well, it does seem a little bit strange..." she admitted. Oh dear. Dear oh dear.... :oops:

Nice. Mine was similar, until..... Dead handy for getting to the stop-you-know-what in an emergency! :rolleyes:

Hahahahhaha :LOL:

George. It's about George.

Thanks, chaps. Yes, the old valve was replaced by my plumber a few months ago, and it dawned on me that I'd not turned it since...that's when I started thinking. Seems as if the plumber left it 50/50, so for the minute I've opened fully, then closed fully, and then middled it like he had. He's...

Good question. Not sure. The only observation about pressure I've made is when I get an F22 error on the CH boiler upstairs. When I top up the level, the bible says to slowly allow enough in to achieve about 1.5bar on the gauge....well, I've never managed to control it enough to be lower than...

Ah yes. See the logic there. Thanks for that. 👍

...sits the water stop tap. (I was going to type stop****, but then thought that the site censor might alter it to "stop pineapple" or something... :) ) Anyway, my possibly dim question is...should it be turned to be fully open, half open, quarter....? You see where I'm going here... Is there...

Surely not, Morag. I would've thought that the reciprocal filter would havetaken care of that....unless, of course, the medial splines didn't quite line up. Amateurs, huh?!

Grabs popcorn, and awaits rib-tickler from PhilTilson... :D

I think Stu was querying #1223 rather than #1241.... At least, I hope he was.... :D

Like "Shamus Android" :D
