    [Misc] The what’s the temperature or heat feel where you are at the moment thread

    I'd take that right now. Seriously. When is it getting cooler? This evening or starting tomorrow morning?

    [Misc] The what’s the temperature or heat feel where you are at the moment thread

    I'm in a factory, corrugated roof, glass panels and the powder coating line has an open oven. I'm now rapidly approaching "**** this ****" territory.

    [Misc] It’s blinking hot and it’s fridat.

    I'm a simple man. Bought a box of 18 cans of strongbow for £10 at Tesco at 14.30. 2 hours in the fridge. 8 left. Windows open and fan now on slowest oscillation. Beats the sweatbox that is the asbestos clad tin roof factory I work in with ceiling windows.

    [Humour] I had to drop a load under a bridge today

    I nearly shit myself on the way to work this morning. Felt "that" feeling just as I was walking out the door but thought I could make it to work (I have to physically clock in on a machine and didn't want to be late and lose 15 mins). It's a 17 mile drive to Horsham from where I live. I got...

    [Misc] Shaving

    I'm bald so a set of clippers at shortest setting (0.5?) over the head every Friday and do the face on the longest blade setting every fortnight. I'm 43 now and haven't been clean shaven since I was about 20:shrug:

    [Finance] Car Insurance for 17 Year Old

    The Premium Credit side of things is fine. I have to use it to pay monthly for my insurance. No scam there at all.

    [Albion] Homophobic abuse from West Ham fans.

    I unfortunately got stuck in the train queue shitshow as well. Their fans were the biggest bunch of moronic brain dead homophobic twathead ass hats I've come across. I travelled home on my own today and was surrounded by those idiots. I'd rather get the train home with Leeds and Palace than...

    [Music] Eurovision - Liverpool To Host In 2023

    I actually like our song. Think I've heard on the radio recently and I've sung along not knowing it was our Eurovision song:eek: We may get 15 points this year. Sweden was my favourite. Good song and a definite Y from me.

    [Help] Gardeners Question Time.

    Both upstairs and downstairs have battery lawnmowers and they let me plug in a borrowed powered strimmer. I've used 2 different mowers and 8 battery charges to do 3/4 of it down to 3" height filling up 4 black bags of trimmings. I will go battery powered eventually but it needs the whole summer...

    [Help] Gardeners Question Time.

    Today we actually sat outside and met our neighbours properly. Great to meet them and talk rather than a quick chat on the stairs or in the hallway. Downstairs let me "plug in" so I've spent a good few hours strimming, raking, cutting, strimming cutting raking *repeat ad finitum*. It's still...

    [Football] How will be you spending your Saturday? Shopping gardening watching the play offs then the

    Dismantle the eldests' bed. Make the new one from flatpack. Rearrange her room for her. Cut the old one up so it fits in the car then a massive overdue tip run. Should be done in plenty of time to have a couple before the game starts.

    [Help] Gardeners Question Time.

    I have but looking at the length and thickness of it all I think it would take a whole weekend as I can't imagine battery power would be up to it....... But it's certainly an option once it's short for normal cutting...

    [Help] Gardeners Question Time.

    I could do with some advice please gents. I moved into our flat in early December and we have our own plot out the back. There's 3 plots for each floor, ground floor is nearest the building and they have fenced in their bit. 2nd floor has the next one out and ours (1st floor the furthest...

    How do you upload photos onto here from a phone???? It's driving me mental:censored: I've been pressing the little picture above the text box, choosing my photo and clicking on "upload" but I just keep getting an "upload of file failed" error message. I'm trying to post on the gardener's...

    [News] Ronaldo's devastating news

    RIP little man :( Horrendous news for anyone to deal with. Can't even begin to think what they're going through or what the surviving twin will always have to deal with throughout their life. Just awful for anyone to deal with.

    [Food] The BBQ debate: briquettes vs lumpwood

    With the weather being as it is and a rather late decision to have one I'd go with whatever is left on the shelves. They both get hot and cook food.
