Reading back Tom SW Waitrose in Raynes Park told Dlag to bugger orf and not collect outside their store during lockdown (in fairness it was one nasty woman manager who stopped them collecting the others were fine). Air source heat pumps work ok in suitably constructed properties but are not as effective as a traditional boiler in most properties in this country. Heating, insulating and ventilating a property is a juggling act as you are creating a micro climate, that lifestyle has a huge impact on. Even the Scandinavian model of almost hermetically sealing houses and venting them twice in a 24 hour cycle has its own set of problems depending on the heat source

Papers-there was a post on Facebook recently about one of our fans meeting Mulley at Heathrow as he is now a football agent nd he wa flying to Newcastle

After the dreadful Bono joke I posted, I saw an even worse Mick Hucknall one but he might sue.

42 years since I last went to lincoln city as a 15 year old , that famous locked in a pub before the match for our own safety and Glyn Hodges late winner 2-1 ,happy days!

On the whole I'm a big fan of Richer Sounds but don't get a PVR from them, they are all way more expensive and with fewer features than the EE offering.

37 year old James Mulley (32 appearances for the Dons) was the substitute last night for big-money Penn & Tylers Green away to amateurs Colliers Wood Utd

Humax! Had one for years. Still works but sometimes freezes. Will keep as I can record 3 programmes simultaneously

I've had a top market but relatively inexpensive microwave for nearly 40 years. Panasonic for me. The first one died after 20 years of use, my son killed another one and my current one is going strong after 15 years and almost daily use. I bought a cheap air fryer three or so years ago and it gets used at least once a week.

One of the worst example of having the public beta test their new technology is Tesla. The last thing you want not being tested properly before being deployed is new software and features on cars.

AV seems to be a hotspot for manufacturers putting out beta tech at top dollar. I held on to using tv recorders (pvrs) for years but cannot be arsed anymore, they're just so shit for the money and it's all going on stream anyway. Humax I'm looking at you, cnuts.

35 year old Rhys Murphy who once played for us turned out for Farnham at Tooting tonight

I reckon that's minicabs OI?

Hashtag United asking to be relegated from Isthmian Premier.

I saw a post recently on LinkedIn from a "founder" of a technology company - basically saying that it is far more important to get a new product launched quickly than to make sure that it is really good - he got loads of people from similar companies agreeing with him. To me, as a potential buyer, that just gives the message "never buy the first version of anything, as it will be rubbish" - which, in fairness, had been my view anyway but it's nice to have some evidence to support my prejudice.

Chelsea women's team in 2024/25: Revenue = £21.3m. Loss = £17.1m

The Chelsea women’s game at Stamford Bridge looks half empty - should have played it at Plough Lane…. ;)

The John Gregory bobble head character in front of that sign was a clue.

I was wondering what the missing letter was in MINIC*SS ;)

Ali Al-Hamadi scored the opener in Iraq's 2-1 defeat of Bolivia for World Cup qualification.

I wondered what was at 28 Hill Road (ref OTD photo). Anyway, some 59 years later, it's Haart, the lettings agent

Last time I was in the scullery...

Yea I’m air fryer free too. And no microwave these days as it was just taking up space and never getting used.

Maybe start Hutch on Friday? Been on the bench for last few games but, iirc, not been used.

I also subscribe to Triggers 5+ year adoption delay with new tech. If you wait 5 years or more you'll get tech that's usually much improved on the current version and also much cheaper to buy. My wife has been nagging me to upgrade our clothes mangle for years.
