  1. Bought a new watch -trading in my two year old Seamaster 300 - for this PLANET OCEAN. What a cool name for a cool watch.

    Happy Days :upyeah:

  2. The dehumidifier I use switches itself off when the the tank is full via a float switch
    I take it you’ve bypassed the tank with a length of tubing
    What I don’t understand is how will it detect a frozen pipe and know when to switch itself off?
     
  3. Discovered a small nick in the blade of one of my Damascus kitchen knives which looks like a manufacturing error given what looks like corrosion in the nick. Took it back to the local Pro Cook shop and no questions asked, the knife was replaced free of charge. Big tick in the box for Pro Cook. Andy

  4. I have the same unit and it can't detect a frozen/blocked pipe. The key is to keep the outside/exposed length of the pipe as short as possible and a decent, constant downward angle for the pipe run.
    Since I did that I've had no problems in any weather.

  5. I used to sing in a band and messed around on guitar, never took it seriously enough to be any good.
    That little part of Wycombe was quite famous for guitars, Wal for basses and a guy called Alan Stroud making electric guitars when they unable to import.
    I've got one of his guitars, apparently he made for Jimmy Page too.
    Brian May made his own guitar with his dad, a creative bunch.

  6. You will get condensation depending on the roof construction and ventilation, the floor construction can also add to the problem.
     
  7. Went to the gym, cycled 32km, did 10km on the cross trainer, 200 stomach crunches, 50 press ups, then swam 2km. Should have the weekends indulgences burnt off by Wednesday.

  11. The better hotels are not in the City Centre, they out along the Hagley Road. I’ve not ever found Ibis to be in any location that I’d class as nice, but they are cheap.
    HS2 isn’t the train, the new train track isn’t to draw folk to Birmingham quicker it’s to the benefit of getting to London.

  12. My pink t-shirt arrived today. I'm wearing it now. Shell, not Shocking. Couldn't wear Shocking. Wouldn't go with my pert little arse.

    And I think today I can dare to say I'm over the two week 3-day cold. I've been wary of saying that. I'm celebrating with a pizza.

  18. Made a trolley for my canoe, took canoe to the river for testing and watched a steam train crossing the bridge while I was there. Oh and raked up 17 ton of leaves.

  19. Been to the dentist to see about my toothache. A prescription for antibiotics and a bill for £94 later I’m hoping that this will help.

    Then went food shopping. Just taken the dog for a walk. Knackered now.
