Could not possibly comment. I may have a pelt like a bear . Or not.

On this subject, why is our main grammar-activist @newhometalking about Epilators on another thread? De-Epilators, surely?

I would like a pair of tickets, please. When is the Expert Panel, and how do we submit questions? “Do you know of any good online forums for self-builders?” “I am planning to bring my stack ventilation out through a plywood ‘chimney’ at the apex of the gable on my third storey roof? Is it a good idea and how do I maintain it?”

How long does it take to cut and shampoo a hair ? Note to op: Perhaps an off forum approach to the mods might be the way for such an offer next time.

The question is one for others, but that is some garage.

For roof area it would be Plan area not surface area, as a steeper roof does not generate more rain. Apols if stating obvious.

In the language of the druids it is, apparently (says Google): Cellweiriau cyfarwydd

Nope. Not my role model.

Hackneyed quips. (If it helps to read this twice.)

Cheers. I am in both.

A singularly appropriate exclamation ! (Runs and hides behind pile of hackneyed quips.)

Some people might want to be spanked. (That sentence technically starts with "so".)

You love 16 what ? Presumably not sheep.

I know. A tragedy. We have a couple of big waterbutts and I can just see people not being able to get out if they go in. Not sure if I could if it was full of water.

There are also various power tools perhaps left from last week, including Impact Drivers and Cordless Drills, and esorerics such as Dry Lining Sanders.

Even water butts can be lethal if care is not taken. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1378827/Gardener-drowns-falling-ladder-landing-head-water-butt.html

Out of interest for anyone who commented on this thread, this is a site video of our new gym a couple of days ago. Have temporarily stuck the video on Vimeo. You may want to scan through it. It lost the sound along the way, however. The password is "hexis" F

I prefer: "If you were me, you would..." The slogan on that mug is a remarkable piece of the printers art. It has been done to look exactly as if photoshopped without adjusting the text to be a curve when photographed. Impressive.

I hadn't considered this, and I do sometimes lend my mini mixer to people. Thanks.

Aren’t they just the cheapest posh-looking ones? Thpugh I had a good reason too ... needed my shorter openings to look taller.

That’s the wrong one :-). it is actually an sbses7252, which is different. I have whinged about incomprehensible appliance codes designed to be untellable-apart before. It is the ghost of Harvey J Earl wreaking a terrible revenge on consumers for making him sell them all those boringly structured ranges of cars. An SBSES7252 consists of a SKES4210 fridge and an SGNES3010 freezer, plus a gubbins to hold them together as a single unit. It is an ex-showroom model that is not available any more, and hence is being sold off (“Make Us an Offer”). ”Make Us an Offer” turned out to mean Above the Lowest Price we will Accept ! Thanks all. I have placed my order and it arrives later this week. This is the beast: This is the other one. As you can see they are entirely different. Ahem.

Surely that is how they count identical sheep?

I am just off to look at an ex-display Liebherr American Fridge-Freezer model SBSES 7252, which is reduced significantly for clearance. I think this may be the midrange one ie £2.8k rather than £1k or £5k, and does not have the gimmicks like an ice machine, but I think has the good basic stuff such as drawers which can turn into shelves, and a good life during powercuts. The docs say it weighs 179kg, which sounds a little threatening, but I believe it comes as 2 separate units with with separate compressors etc and a thing that makes it look like one. The reduced cost will be about the same as a decent Siemens fridge + a decent Siemens freezer, and the current ones are fridge approx 14 years old and freezer approx 25 years old. Can anyone comment - worth having? Ferdinand

Indeedy. The banana was split some years ago. (Better go and do something useful)

Are there equally good slightly smaller Dewalts?
