Don't talk to me about Scrabble! My Labrador managed to eat about twenty tiles this morning, so we had to rush him down to the vet's... Here we are, five hours later, and there's still no word.

Steady man, steady.... Your nurse'll be along in a minute...

Crikey! Two posts in the same year! Just been delving in the attic and came across this effort from days of yore...

And right on cue, here I am! Yes, Furniglas no longer available, more's the pity. Great for my marquetry back in the day, although I also messed around with Rustin's Button Polish and their "Plastic Coating" product (both still available as far as I know). Found out that although I seemingly...

I really miss my ol' dad. He had the heart of a lion. The stomach of a bear. And a lifetime ban from Whipsnade Zoo...

I think my wife has been putting glue all over my 12 bores. She denies it, but I'm sticking to my guns.

Not many are aware that Neil Diamond - the talented singer and composer - was actually born "Neil Coal", but the pressure got to him....

An Evri driver stopped me in the street the other day and asked if I knew what time it was. I told him it was between 9 and 4.

A bonnet full of concrete whats? :LOL:

Lenor seem to have developed a series of adverts just to irritate me. The one with the bed in the park - with the woman over-excitedly shouting "What is it?!" really wrankles, and there's another showing a bloke smelling his bed linen who mutters "OMG"... On the other hand, the Nationwide...

I can't help the original poster either, I'm afraid. I've never found a bottle of Domestos with a wide enough neck...

Glenfield2 beat me to it! Yes, the above seems clear enough - methinks Blister was given the bum's rush at his branch.

Morning, chaps... Intrigued how our old Neff oven had worked with a series of hobs over the years without any obvious problems, we asked Neff's HQ about the power rating of the original oven. They eventually found the model's details in their archives - having asked for serial numbers etc. - and...

Yes, my fat-finger mistake. 5.8kW.... That's the rating on the existing (unconnected as I write) hob. The new oven claims 3kW. If -if - my schoolboy maths/memory is correct, does that mean that if the oven and all 4 hob rings were on, the total would be 8.8kW. Again, memory, would that mean...

It was time for a new oven. Our 31 year old (wow!) Neff job was beginning to cause cooking problems, so we splashed out on a new Smeg number. Paid for delivery and fitting, but when it came to it, we were told that someone had bodged the wiring on the Neff and nearby 4 ring Beko ceramic hob, by...

Balls, Stu. Mrs.Balls.....

Made me smile, this... I seem to remember that it was the HP Sauce bottle in my case!

Old enough to remember his driving instructor and tobacco jobs...as you say, timing and delivery perfect. Even liked his Professor Proton character in Big Bang...he'd lost none of his skill. Penny's line of "Is it a trick clock...or a trick potato?" still cracks me up. RIP, Mr.N.

Oooo, Stuart....controversial! I can see the headlines now... "International Incident Declared in Hereforshire!" (Have to admit that I expected to see a comment along the lines of "But the French flag isn't white?") :rolleyes:

For the many friends - nay! Admirers! - of one Mr.Little's observations, answers please, on a plain postcard, to..... ;)
