  1. My pressure washer wasn't working properly. Looked up how to get it going again, followed the instructions and all was good for about 2 minutes, then the hose blew off the back Solved one problem at least, so I sat down and had a coffee, went back and had another clueless play around with it and got the same result every time... grrr Then I spotted a stray cable tie on the gound. I wonder... if I cable tie the open ends of the clip together will that stop the high pressure hose blowing off? Indeed it did. Not having to pay someone else to repair it by thinking it through and Heath Robinsoning a solution cheers me up
  2. Nowt to do with Wiki Nice is actually my favourite foreign holiday destination, I've been at least 6 times now
  3. Another FUn Fact, the largest Russian Orthodox Church outside of Russia is in... Nice
  4. Another Fun Fact: Sean Connery used to live in Nice
  5. Fun fact: The only connection between the biscuits and the place is the name, first made by Huntley and Palmers in Britain. They aren't even based on any provencal biscuit recipes (which are much bloody nicer). Nice is city is lovely, the biscuits are dreadful
  6. It would be nice to not see Ukrainian cities being pummeled by missiles at all, jeez
  7. Why on eath would that be nice? But for the record, Ukraine has attacked military airfields located inside Russia
  8. It's just hairloss... Have you ever watched and lived with your wife when her hair is falling out in clumps every day? Can you imagine how she'd feel if you said, "it's only your hair falling out". And in my wife's case we knew it would grow back after the chemo but it's still massively upsetting and thats when you are prepared for it to happen, Imagine it just happening overnight Imagine being the person with the alopecia and just walking passed a mirror. It's not just hairloss
  9. 10-15% of people with severe alopecia also sometimes lose their nails But hey ho, it's only nail loss Alopecia can also be a symptom of an illness more life threatening
  10. This is why you'd have a tablet. It's very rude to be looking at phones in a meeting but supermax it to a tablet and *bingo* instant professionalism and totally on the ball
  11. y'all know there's a topic for this shit (I will not be thanked for pointing this out )

  16. Klopp, Hamman etc My mates sister lives in Germany and has done for decades (around Munich) and whenever he goes over to visit, it's the Mancs they all seem to dislike
  17. Germans don't have negative views of Scousers but they do of Mancunians

  19. Not true. The Black Sea fleet had 7 landing ships when I looked it up, at least 5 of which were seaworthy before the conflict Alligator class Orsk Saratoc Nikolay Filchenlov Ropucha II Azov Ropucha I Novocherkassk Caesar Kunikov Yamal One of Orsk or Saratov is sunk, the other is damaged. Yamak and Nikolay Filchenlov are unknowns But also currently on active duty in Black Sea are Ropucha's Minsk, Kallingrad and Korolev from the Baltic Fleet as well as Georgy Pobedonoset and Olenegorsky Gornyak from the Northern Fleet. Add to that the Ivan-Gran class ship Pyotr Morgunov also from the Northern Fleet So thats at least 9, possibly 11 Landing ships still in the Black Sea on active duty
  20. In this day and age I don't even get watches let alone expensive watches. Even those smart watches, what can it do that my phone can't.
