If you can think of a bigger joke than religion, I'm dying to hear it...

We get an even worse selection of Lidl tools here in BG but luckily there's a couple of cheap shipping companies here operating between BG and UK/Germany/Spain, so I buy kit from Lidl in Germany and it's with me around a week later. Spares and accessories are available direct from Kompernaß (eg...

Not much help for those living elsewhere but here in Bulgaria scams are much less successful. Deliveries of goods are usually COD and made either by courier, with "open and inspect" available for a small additional prearranged fee, or by the company's own vehicles. The same applies to private...

Dropping the "t" in "tsunami" is akin to pronouncing "home, hot, hope" etc without the "h"...... :rolleyes:

Can you tell my cat to stop dancing on your keyboard and come home, please? :cool:

Politics is a part of everyone's life, however much they might rather it wasn't; it's an essential part of civilisation. Small wonder that it often creeps into other tpoics of conversation. What probably causes the annoyance is not politics per se but the facile assumptions made by folks who...

Au contraire, I'd say that it's you who have missed the point ... :)

Whatever comes to hand... :cool:

So your housemaster was right after all..... :cool:

While waving at passing cars..... :cool:

AKA "Turkish toilet", so yes, a squat toilet. They're definitely something of a rarity nowadays, although I've seen a few fairly recently in unmanned French motorway rest areas. They were pretty common in the 60s, even in Paris bars, and through into the 70s and 80s. Last time I saw one here...

I've got one of the bigger ones, which I've had for several years now. I especially like the power outlet on the bigger models, which turns the vacuum on when the tool(s) plugged into the socket are switched and has a couple of seconds over-run when they're turned off. That's very handy for...

I lived in various parts of France (plus various other countries) and it's usually pretty easy to play "Spot the Brits". There are various categories, which have changed and increased over the years, but certain characteristics seem more or less universal - especially the "continental toilet...

Welcome aboard! I imagine that the neighbours will guess where you're from the first time they visit. :)

I buy Parkside batteries from Lidl - no questions asked 3 year warranty on all of them. They sell cell-balanced versions and Bluetooth chargers that enable you to decide just how much to charge the batteries etc. I'm still in two minds about just how useful/gimmicky the BT malarkey is. I do use...

It's an early version of WiFi..

Understandable reaction: they were hoping that taxpayers' money would be spent on them; you can thank the NGOs, left-wing lawyers - and armchair socialists guzzling pork pies and swilling Bass - for that.. :cool: It's a topsy-turvy world when folks who break the law and encourage organised crime...

Yeah, it's "off-topic" - and in the Off-topic Section, of all places. Who on earth would be "stupid" enough to think that such a thing could happen? :rolleyes: You no like, you no read - simples...

It's called "a figure of speech" - perhaps you were playing truant the day that teecher mentioned it? :cool:

Sorry to "disappoint" you but I'm neither Maoist nor Crypto-Anything. Mao was lumped in with the "other Communist regimes around the world". The reason for that is simply that I was stressing the fact that the Russians were our "allies" for the greater part of WW2, despite us being well aware of...
