  1. Yeah, 'appy birfday* you cantankerous old bugger, I'll see you round at the Rivet for a celebratory drink later :Winky:
  2. Would that be the Amari ? I spent many a happy hour in the pool there a few years back, waiting 9 days all ex's paid, for a visa to Bhutan to arrive :Cool:
  3. I have a good way of reducing my water bill. I have an external tap that is connected into the cold water supply just under the kitchen sink, after the meter.... Outside in the garden is another external tap, that runs straight off the main supply out in the road . . . . with no meter ..... Turn off the main stop-cock to the house, attach hose between two outside taps, turn both of them on . . . hey presto, unmetered supply :Cool:
  4. Found on a Blog I frequent . . . .
  5. Nor the far superior Opera I presume :Winky:
  6. Doesn't do anything here !!
  7. Well . . . . Was it a good one ??
  8. They all know where the best place is :Smiler:
  9. The Yank driving licence is not valid here for exchange purposes, only for hiring cars, it's the same throughout most European countries, and I would suspect that's most probably in the UK as well. I would assume he will have to do the test in the UK if he wants the entitlement
  10. Ooops !! Try this . . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJg99tGolNI

  13. The EU, which talks a lot about democracy but acts against it, ensured last year that the elected leaders of two European countries were ousted and replaced with the EU's own placemen. Both Greece and Italy now have pro-EU lackeys as Prime Ministers, in Italy their EU obedient Prime Minister and cabinet have not even been voted into office by anyone. The question is, looking at this NEWS ITEM, is the EU at it again?
  14. That's an old one Dave, back in 2008 if IIRC. What that article failed to state though was, under Islamic law, muslim men are only allowed to take multiple wives if they can AFFORD to look after them, NOT "if the state can afford to look after them" So it is wrong, I agree, but it's not the muslims doing the wrong here, it's our interfering politician masters getting it wrong yet again. My new religion, Threeupmanship, allows me to have up to three nymphomaniac female spouses at one time, all have to sleep in the same bed with me, and all have to wear no clothing whilst in the house, will they give me more money to support them . . . . Answers please on the back of a fiver to . . .
  15. Right back at ya mister 2012 is going to be an interesting year for me :Cool:, but also a bit of a difficult one. It can't be worse than last year though.
  16. Form an orderly queue :Smiler:
  17. You have mail Dave :Winky: Gogs, give it a few days and Dave should be able to send you an invite, if not, PM me and I'll see if I have any left.
  18. Jed, I have one of those blue plug in ring main testers at my place in FE, grab it next time you're in the area and try it in every socket in the house. As Sparks and Rother said, it could be any one or more of many different things, and it's impossible to diagnose over the net without at a least a bit more information, but I'm leaning a bit towards earthing faults. Also, I know you know what you're doing reasonably well, so (after removing the power to them) pull a few of the sockets off the wall and have a look at the state of the wiring, look for obvious signs of overheating and loose terminations, these will quite often show up as blackened or darkened terminals, or scorched or melted plastic. Regarding your remarks about the cooker, give the cooker point a thorough looking over, I've known some builders to bodge wire them with 2.5 T&E in the past :Surprise:
  19. Hi everyone, sorry I haven't written anything here, but I really don't know what to write. I saw this topic about an hour after Ogre put it up, and I was literally gob-smacked. I still don't know what to say, so I'm just going to post a copy of my reply to his message telling me about it. And a big heartfelt thanks to everyone that feels the need to get involved. I'll keep popping in, but unless someone wants any specific information, I probably won't be posting anything. All the best for Christmas people, and thank you all again.
  20. ... and a very happy one it was too :cha-ching: Lots of beer followed by lots MORE whisky, I met Hughie
