I was thinking "do I have one of these already?" browsing through Aliexpress:

Love the descriptions they come out with

Top review comment:

"Cool stuff! It's as described, it works. The mechanism itself is very tight, but for men it will not be a problem."

Okay...

A stick welder, with a free angle grinder, from Pete.

The workshop is impressive. I'm wondering how to suggest to the wife that we don't really need a chest freezer, and a lathe would be a much better thing to put there.

I may end up in the chest freezer.

Old bimetal strip one was on its way out - boiler only requires a contact closure to start stop so I gambled 12 quid on this beauty.. you can even optionally program a temperature pattern across the day/week.

Only downside is it requires batteries.. still 12 quid! Let's hope the relay lasts.

Shh. I made her a shed two years ago. She now wants it extended, with 240 volt power to be a home gym. I built it with that in mind, but she wasn't meant to think of it so soon. I even hid the extension plans.

My missus doesn't venture into my workshop, well, apart from her hand that is. I call it the magic hand. Door opens, hand appears with a full mug of tea, puts it down, grabs the empty mug then disappears through the gap and the door closes.

I'm not even 100% certain it's her hand doing the exchange TBH.

Tickets to see (what remains of...) the Stranglers and Buzzcocks at the finest out door venue in the country - the Piece Hall in Halifax. Assuming nobody else carks it between now and August and the sun shines, it will be a wonderful way to spend a summer's evening.

Question - what percentage of original members are necessary to avoid a band becoming a 'tribute' act, plus does the main singer have to be there?

I went to Morrisons with two very distinct things on my list : (1. loo rolls 2. cat food) and I came back with about a dozen.

Loo rolls, cat food, double cream, whipping cream, macaroni cheese x 2, box of salad, two tabletop conifers disguised as Christmas trees by virtue of having a reindeer on a stick in them, and a packet of paracetamol/ibuprofen each. I think there was something else but I can't remember what.

And six eyeshadow pencils from bloody Superdrug next door, all different colours (technically) although a woman my age shouldnt be wearing that sort of eyeshadow, it'll just sit in my wrinkles and make me look old(er) *sigh* ... and three packs of two eyeshadow brushes, cos they were cheap. WTF. One of the eyeshadows is green and one is purple. I feel an Endora moment coming on.
