Wasn't sure whether to put this here or the Sick Bay thread.
My body just rolls its eyes and says "You're going to make a fool of yourself again, aren't you."

Re: Rant of the Day v2.
The home vege garden has many benefits. There are always fresh veges, pottering is good for my mental & physical health and home-growns are excellent tradeables. At one stage, our neighbours and us had an excellent cycle going. I'd give them sawdust for the chicken coop. when they cleaned it out, th...

Re: Darwin Awards
When I worked one of the chaps I worked with went on holiday to the Dominican Republic and went on a rafting trip with his wife. He said it was a disaster, very frightening and half the people fell out with the good swimmers having to work hard to rescue the weak ones. A couple of days later two pe...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread VI
Thanks Llondel, replacement is pretty straightforward with a couple of beefy blokes to help pull the oven out, as is removal of the front panel. I'll see if YouTube can tell me if the thermostat has an adjustment. Many do, but there are no detailed specs available, it seems.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread VI
Looks like a neat job. A replacement thermostat is available, but access is via the rear of the oven. Normally I'd have no qualms about turning off at t the cb, and replacing it, but I don't fancy doing any heavy work at present. Doesn't look like it has an adjusting screw, but I may take the front ...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread VI
Thanks Llondel, I'll see if I can find online a way to access the thermostat - it's not immediately obvious. If I can see the problem I'll probably be able to buy a replacement on line, as I've bought parts for a dishwasher and washing machine of the same vintage. The company used to have a physical...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread VI
Good morning all, fine day with some cloud. Currently 16C, forecast max 20C. Jim, you have reminded me to have our oven checked. Mrs. H noticed that an oven thermometer was reading high compared to the thermostat setting. I monitored it and also tried a new oven thermometer. It seems to overheat, th...

One for Jim. A Rabbi, an Anglican minister and a Roman Catholic priest found themselves chatting, and talk turned to their career prospects. They asked the RC what the highest position he could aspire to was, and he replied that in theory, he could become Pope, but in reality, the best he could hope...

Re: Darwin Awards
Used to run rafting trips on the Thompson & Mitchell Rivers in Victoria. On one trip on the Mitchell we rescued two young blokes who had bought a couple of 'yellow peril' lightweight toy rafts from a disposals store, complete with plastic paddles. The owner had told them they would be fine. When we ...

Re: Animals Behaving Badly
^ seems like 'Old Tom' was a bit of a rascal and a traitor to Cetaceans [-X Very interesting. Orcas will eat whales. He probably pulled the boats out so they'd kill a whale and he could catch a meal while they were chopping up the carcass. Yes, apparently the orcas used to eat the lips and offal of...

Re: Animals Behaving Badly
At Eden on the NSW South Coast there is a 'Killer Whale Museum' with the skeleton of Old Tom, an orca that used to tow whalers' boats out when there where whales in the area. There's a photo on the link showing how his teeth are worn. Granddaughter got into trouble in primary school for arguing with...

I think I've seen something similar but not the same, but Channel Islands or Normandy. Doesn't sound right though.

Thanks Karearea, I'm planning on just walking a couple of hundred metres down the street. I have no intention of being more than a very short dash from a loo.

As some had predicted Shoigu has been given the boot as Russian Defence Minister. In his place is a complete and utter banker, who like Shoigu knows sweet FA about the military. Which probably means putin is moving his little toy soldiers around a tabletop in his bunker and issuing stupid orders hi...
