Random Irritations

We have an induction ceramic hob, and the pans are the ones that were recommended by the manufacturer they were bloody expensive.

I have no idea about the circuits though 🤣

I have come up with a simpler method of using my hob, let the Mrs do it 😉

Induction should be quicker than gas.......but dont assume the glass gets hot, they only get hot from the hot pan transfering heat back to the glass. It's the magic of magnetism:)
The lower powered induction hobs can plug into a 13 socket, the more powerful ones require hard wiring into a 32a circuit:)
My wife was sceptical about them originally, but now wont return to gas. Its quicker, cleaner and just as easy to control.
You only need Cif and fresh paper towels to keep the glass clean too:)
 
car insurance!!!

GA renewal would not take it on their system, its online only so couldn't ring. no response for 2 days to my email, got online quotes.... it runs out today.. all miles dearer, some £100

clucking useless, ended up going elsewhere an paid more:(
 
Our local Homebase had a power cut - but when power was restored the tills did not come back up. So a long queue of customers had the joy of watching checkout assistants using one of these old manual card swipers (there must only have been one in the store as there was only one customer being processed at a time) - putting in the paper docket and then chunk chunk. And as a receipt? A handwritten piece of paper with each item and costs listed. Utterly bizarre in the 21st century. Nobody complained. A few just put their intended purchases back on the shelf and walked out. The rest just looked on bemused. How long this went on I do not know (could still be going on for all I know)
 
I'm watching the U21's and the two experts in the studio are both wearing a shirt and jacket with no tie.
No problems with that .............................. but please UNDO THE TOP BUTTON!
It looks like they've had their ties stolen, but nobody's thought to tell them.
 
The moron of a judge who found a cyclist guilty of hitting an idiot pedestrian who walked out into the middle of the road whilst staring at her phone. This time the cyclist was totally in the right, not speeding, riding normally but he should apparently "have presumed something untoward might have happened".

So when this phone zombie walks off the edge of a cliff, it's the cliff's fault? Unreal.

Weird headline wasn't it

I think I understand what happened when I read the article, cyclist could've taken avoiding action instead of just shouting a warning and sounding his horn (then braking when he was too close to stop) so judge says 50/50 blame for each party as pedestrian was on her phone and since pedestrian brought the case she'll get 50% of whatever claim is awarded
(I assume then the cyclist just needs to bring his own case for same value and he'll get awarded 50% so they'll be quits :unsure:)

Because pedestrian was already occupying the road it didn't absolve the cyclist from partial blame

England U21 players wearing thin white shirts so their sports bras are clearly visible.

Too right. The men don't wear bras when they play internationals so why should the women? It's equality innit?
 
Late train back from London last night. Two great fat lumps sit on the 4 seater area with the table, he sits window side with jacket on the seat next to him and feet on the opposite seat, shuts his eyes and either is asleep, or pretending to be asleep. She sits opposite in the corridor inside seat and is never gonna let anyone sit in the window seat allbeit her partner has his feet on the seat anyway. The couple on the opposite side sit properly, and the wife and I have no problem getting seats as they were most considerate

Other passengers have to stand for the 40 minute journey 😣

I'd be waking them, getting them to move up and take feet off the chairs and sitting down
 
A sheep farmer in Wales exporting "95%" of all his lambs to Europe. Why? When we are awash with New Zealand lambs in the supermarkets/ Surely a good way to reduce our countries carbon footprint would be to eat our own produce.

Quite a few irritations in there. Plus questions. Sorry.
