[Misc] Insignificant Things You Cannot Do WITHOUT....

But it was fantastic for making water bombs - I’m sure that’s why Balfour Juniors got proper toilet tissue in the end - they were tired of kids in sodden wet uniforms and the quad and toilet block being flooded.

I was at St Luke's. I've always been quite proud of that. The most sought after primary in the country.

We didn't have an awful reputation. Okay, apart from suffocating swans at Queen's Park pond and lobbing eggs over the wall when the girls were playing netball. Actually, I can think of others, but the only one I can assure you I wasn't involved in was the first. Those who were found themselves presented to the school assembly in shame.

See the Jack Hinshelwood interview on the official site and Milner’s advice to him.

Snoods are for...

Exactly! Real men don't wear snoods

Old 'Yankee' screwdriver.

Old chef's knife.

Replace the old Yankee for a impact driver trust me you will never go back.

I bought 1100 of the little buggers at Christmas so I'm okay for 2024!

Are you sure? That's only 3.0055 cups of tea a day.

Statins ? Pretty sure I'm not allowed it.

No you're not. What is it about grapefruit juice that makes it react with a lot of drugs?

Grapefruit juice potentially blocks the production of enzyme CYP3A4 in the small intestine.

This enzyme is involved in breaking down various drugs. Without it, the drugs are not properly metabolised which can result in too much of the drug in your bloodstream. People have different amounts of the enzyme in their guts so the effects are not consistent or predictable.

I took the antidepressant Sertraline for a few years and doctor told me I had to give up eating Grapefruit for this reason.

I believe more recent research suggests that Grapefruit Juice may, regarding certain drugs, have the opposite effect. Meaning too little of the drug enters your blood stream.

Kindle Paperwhite. Mines 8 years old now and occasionally freezes but I absolutely love it.

Flashing dog collar light. Take the mutt down the beach every night and can let him loose and run around and still see where he is as there's no lights where we go.

Slow cooker. Phenomenal piece of kit on a day where everyone is out the house, arriving home and different times and all wanting dinner. 5 mins work in the morning, lob it in, help yourself to delicious dinner when you get in.

Today it's a bolognaise. Yesterday it was a bean chilli. Will probably to do Steak/Stilton thingy and a veggie curry in the next few days.

The joy of being smug all day knowing dinner is sorted and actually getting tastier by the second whilst you are out the house is fantastic.

I’m sure it was my cooking skills but I stopped using mine.

Everything cooked in it tastes the same and it made the house smell of dog farts.

Black pepper, can't cook anything savoury without it.
