You know Christmas is coming when Harry re-runs come on TV.

Not Area 51

This is now Three Years Old.

And we didn't get it a card

We had a great evening! Hazel O'Connor was a trio of 3 females.

The sax was great !

 

[PeteXXX]

Hazel, O and Connor?

I have been to the church book sale. I also got the first four seasons of The Venture Brothers on DVD. 17 out of 18 years of South Park were also available. I also got some books by Fyodor Dostoevsky, Cormack McCarthy, and Anthony Trollope.
VHS, and some audio cassettes of a Handel opera were also available, BTW.
Full set of Brideshead Revisited.

I've spent an unproductive evening spent looking at ring binders online. Irritating that the sort I'm looking for only seem to be available as a bulk order.

I want six.

Not twelve, not a hundred. Six. Aaaargh.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Perhaps you could find others who also need binders, and buy them as a cooperative.

 

[Reynard]

I suppose I could do, but can't think of anyone I know who would want any...

A dozen isn't entirely unmanageable to be fair; it means I'd have some spares. Because it's sod's law that if I buy six, then if I ever want another one etc, they won't be available anymore. You know how it is.

 

[Reynard]

Ooops, I just may have acquired another small collection of photos for my archive...

 

[Reynard]

I'd better toddle off to bed. Nunnight.

My daughter bribed me to go to her flat and put up some IKEA shelves. I have all the tools and fixings and I know how to do it. It should have taken less than an hour but IKEA had other ideas. On every bracket there was a glossy plastic label wrapped around the 4mm diameter metal wire......and they really don't want to move. Finger nails could find an edge but they don't peel. I tried using a pan scrubber which was good at trashing the label but left a tenacious sticky slime that refused to move. After 25 minutes on one label, I gave up and put the shelves up with the labels in place. Fortunately, I have some entirely evil planet-busting, global warming solvents at home to deal with this.

Do you think that Greta would have a word with her moronic fellow countrymen?

White Spirit should shift the residue.

Try cleaning alcohol or nail polish remover.

Don't look at me, I haven't got it.
