At best!

Just seen someone collapse on the luggage carousel at East Midlands Airport. I think he's OK.... He's slowly coming round.....

I asked my wife if I was the only one she'd been with. She said "yes". The others were nines and tens.

Sadly not. More riffraff with delusions of grandeur! Actually I'd just moved house and made a few bob out of it, so splashed out on 3 leather chesterfield settees and the aforementioned chair. Oh....and a matching "slipper" chair to match. How could I forget?! Looked fantastic, but is by far...

Thanks, all... You'll be pleased to read that - for once - common sense prevailed, and I decided to ignore the devil whispering in my ear. I shall leave it well alone! In answer to a few of the suggestions above, it turns out that the original unit/cylinder is actually welded into a particular...

My super-duper office chair - just over 20 years old - has just started letting me down. Yes, the gas cylinder needs replacing....or shall I just splash out on a new chair?! er....No! I won't! Over £1300 today, looking at the same model! Crikey! Measured everything, and ordered the new...

Talking to a pal in the pub the other night, it turned out that he'd witnessed a fatal motorbike* accident a few months before. A notorious local hump-backed bridge had claimed yet another victim, but this time it had been nothing to do with black ice or snow. Yes, it had been bitter what with...

Similar story. Alfreton in my case. Wandering around the shop, packed from floor to ceiling, the owner offered assistance. "I'm just looking for bulbs", said I. "60 watt or daffodil?" came the instant response.

I thought of this more than 30 years ago! My current "model" usually rests near the compost bin area, but when required is brought out, the central shaft lodged in the ground and then 3 bricks are placed underneath the outer edge to support it. (The ol' 3 legs better than 4 theory at it again!)...

Jeez.....

We can combine both topics, music and humour...... The Eurovision Song Contest.

For home use I've usually stuck to an Epson - mainly due to price, I guess - as I don't particularly need laser jet quality. Invariably these have come with the usual 6/7 individual ink cartridges, which last as long as they last, if you see what I mean. Annoying, how the whole machine refuses...

Noel and RobinBHM both beat me to it - Homebase were Ozito stockists at one time. I bought an Ozito router when I needed a quick fix without sending a fortune for something, and I think it's still in the shed somewhere! It was/is OK for the odd job, but no doubt wouldn't stand much abuse. I also...

As a total opposite to my original post, I've now decided on the worst purchase made....(in the last few years anyway) A Shark "lift-away" vacuum cleaner. Honestly - it was as if the roller had been fitted the wrong way round! It "picked up" better when pulled rather than pushed, and even then...

Oh yes..... Hells Bells.... What a riff.

65! They must've seen a lot of..........er...........use!

Having a beery chat with some mates last evening, we somehow ended up discussing what we thought had been the best invention ever ....uhm...invented. "Glass" was the best. (It also happened to be my suggestion, but was still the best!) (Other opinions were available, but weak in comparison)...

Whilst we puzzle out our own ending to Izzy's joke*, here's a little filler for you.... A bloke's walking home from work late one evening. He's had a tiring, frustrating day and for the moment he just wants to get home, have a scotch and a cuddle with his wife.....but then he spots a female in...

"Bloody hell! Quarter to four in the morning, and somebody's knocking on our door!", moaned the bloke to his wife. "Probably been to the pub for a lockdown....lucky him....remember those days, dear? When we had a life..." he droned on..... Another few knocks followed. "God almighty! Are we ever...

So you don't know where Antenna is, SamG340? From memory, it's just south of Chlamadia and west of Anorexia...
