Our local Lithuanian Hand Job place runs the carpets through a little machine.

No badges or fans but perfectly clean

McLaren 750s

No pics as the owner came back but therefore, got to hear it start up and pull away.

No doubt it’s an amazing machine and every inch of it is function over form,

But by Christ it’s an ugly thing.

Couldn’t agree more Zed 👍🏻

She was a comic, true and true and cut her teeth in the hardest of environments - the ensemble comedy troupe, performing sketches live in stage. That is not for the faint of heart.

I guess what I mean is I’d have loved to have seen her play more range, more often but ...

I mentioned in another thread how she got her start with John Candy and others. Her eulogy at his funeral was lovely.

I think she was a far better actor than perhaps her career would suggest.

Rest in Peace

I have a new LG, a recommendation from here, and I have none of those issues.

In fact, I almost never use the TV remote. Sky remote turns it on, controls the volume etc. I watch all streaming via the Sky Q box.

You just appear to have bought the wrong TV

They’re even using the “Ve ver only obeying Orders” excuses

I've got a solid plumber / gas engineer, a sparky and a general builder guy who's my roofer.

Worth their weight in gold.

Feel your pain DJ - we need the same on our Kitchen extension. Remove all tiles, replace waterproof course and replace tiles and re-do flashing

Thankfully I've got a guy who's honest and won't rip me off

Oh I forgot another one - it looks like whoever painted the bathroom ceiling didn't use ...

Too Bloody Soon.. Jesus!! :roll:

The Noem one I saw yesterday but it doesn't seem to be published today - Probably just speculation that was removed once proven to be incorrect.

There's a lot of that going round...

Edit - this was the report:

Both Bovino and Noem have been demoted...

We learned long ago that if you're not into your Apres (which we absolutely are not), staying in the resort is a waste of time. (Having a non drinker mate who doesn't mind driving in the evening helps too. )

Oh right - in my mind, your trips were a regular thing...

My last two or three trips have been 5 day'ers to Kitzbuhel. Fly to Munich and it's a couple of hours from there in the car. We can do two of us, sharing a car and a double room, all in for about £1000 each.

We've sort of figured out how ...

Yeah, i’m sowing the seeds trying to get my mrs interested in going next yea

Good luck with that - I tried but gave up in the end. I think she's too "working class" for skiing, despite loving the snow.

It's hard to point at two things at the same time with 1 finger...
