DDolfelin Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 In a nearby town, a new fish 'n' chip shop has opened. During the first three months it has won all sorts of awards. We've tried it and it is the best I can remember. We have fish 'n' chips about twice a year - maybe more from now on. Not only is the product just right but, in the pack there is a quarter of a lemon, tartare sauce and a properly shaped fork. Lucky us. It's under £10 for two.

RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted June 20, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) My worry is that I produce mess and nothing else, at least some of your mess is a byproduct of industry.

sixoh8sixoh Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Morning all! First day of a week's holiday. Waiting in this morning for Royal Mail to try to redeliver a parcel or two. Will have Aggers, Tuffers and co for company on the last day of the Third Test. Also Wimblydoon is starting today, Sideshow Bob's up third on Centre Court. Oh, and Durham are playing Yorkshire too... Plan on getting out on the bike if it stays dry this afternoon. Will also put some thought into my Challenge Diorama this week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted June 20, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 20, 2011 We're good at hygiene but poor at tidy. I suspect the tidiness will improve now that Aditi isn't distracted by academic pursuits. She does "insist" on tidiness when visitors are expected though but when it gets too much Matthew accuses his mum of having a "Hyacinth" (after the BBC comedy character, Hyacinth Bucket) moment. Our favourite comment is when Aditi said "for goodness sake, tidy up, John Lewis are delivering today." Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted June 20, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 20, 2011 Okay, so the Faulty Tower was closed due to a plumbing problem, according to the news today. As a result, water entered various electrical systems and knocked these out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 45156 Posted June 20, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 20, 2011 water entered various electrical systems and knocked these out. Not a great mix, I have to say - so much for German plumbing LOL. Afternoon All Sunny here at present, but forecast to deteriorate this afternoon, so likely to be wet and horrible when I turn out tonight to take the dog to the vet's (again) and get my ration of health food sausage and chips from the chippy round the corner from the vet's surgery. Dd - sounds like you've found a treasure - a good chip shop - my idea of heaven - provided they sell Spam fritters - I'm on at the new chippy in town to try them, but he said it's unlikely as he doesn't sell them in his other shop - there's no demand for them - my answer was "but I don't buy at your other shop, and I'd ask for them there" - we'll see. As to Whiskey In The Jar - I've heard so many versions of that over the years (if fact I used to do it when I was in a folk/rock band and we did it rocky, but it still had more of an affinity with the original) - and I felt that Thin Lizzie did the song an injustice (ducks behind parapet).

DonBradley Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I have fish and chips EVERY Friday. The shop in my building is excellent and well known and pstronised way beyond this suburb. They only cook your fish when you order it so it's a 10 to 15 minute wait. However one can order in advance for a fixed time and then just arrive, bypass the queue and collect one's order.

Robert Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Morning All, It is a somewhat grey morning here today. We have had rain overnight, and it is drizzling on and off. Yawn! Time for a coffee. Have a good one everybody... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBradley Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Thanks for the amended reference. Wow Gordon. And you have an interested party. Well done. I bet it is from a RMWeb member. Good luck. Keep us advised. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted June 21, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 21, 2011 Morning all. Well, as Robert said, it's overcast, hazy and raining on and off – but not cold. Just getting some work done early and will be off for today's course later on. Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted June 21, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 21, 2011 Morning all. Rather dull here and it may rain later. I assembled a building for my railway while watching the Test Match yesterday. Thanks to "rain stopped play" I made quite a bit of progress. No real plans for today for anything special, unless going to buy dog-food counts. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelintrev Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Morning all, Well life is never boring here! Plumbing disaster here, the hose from the water heater to the shower had a drip, so I get spanner to tighten it and the ******y thing falls apart.....so now water water very where. Todays challenge will be to find a replacement pipe (Short length of flexible stainless steel with nuts on the ends). Oh well as the saying goes **** happens, Happy first day of summer all!

RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted June 21, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 21, 2011 Morning all,mixed weather today and it is a big push today to get most stuff moved hopefully Wednesday will be the day we move out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Max Stafford Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 After yesterday's warm weather which saw me give the garden a good spruce up, it's a bit dreich today. Boiler is due its MoT between 8 and 10. Indoor work today and the biggest job will be sorting the bath out. Over time it seems to have settled lower so I'll need to get the wrench out and raise it as I've got a very unsightly gap at the bottom of the tiles that is annoying me immensely. Once that's done, it's shed time I think. Have a good day all and had I the space I'd have taken you terminus Gordon. It reminds me of Alnwick in its configuration. Dave.

RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted June 21, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 21, 2011 Just make sure there is enough movement for the pipes Dave and you have some more packing for under the bath to prevent cracking, Go on ask me how I know! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium eldavo Posted June 21, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 21, 2011 Morning All, Planning gone all to pot as usual. Decided to play golf yesterday and ended up soaked to the skin after it decided to hammer it down just as we got to the 4th tee. Not surprisingly the weather forecast for today looks to be much better! I notice someone is trying to sell a roll of wallpaper and a bunch of gash pointwork on the market place. Amazing what folks will try and sell. Have a good one all. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted June 21, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 21, 2011 ...and the biggest job will be sorting the bath out. Over time it seems to have settled lower Dave. One of the shower trays in our house started to settle and after removing the panel I discovered that it had been installed with bits of cardboard as packing pieces. Other people in the road discovered the problem when the shower base broke through the floor and encountered the garage ceiling. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
