Random Irritations

Oh.....couldnt say without a looksee I'm afarid then.
Did you use WD40 to clean the stainless steel?

No, very sparingly used the cleaning spray and then a light rub over with the preserving oil. Possible some could have got in there but I'd be surprised & disappointed if it has.

The seemingly constant persistent wind/breeze... Seems to have been with us for months... Despite the warming sunshine I am still having to leave the extra layer on... I am not as 'ard as I once was ?...

The 'condenser microphone' I bought a week ago has broken already. Have marked it for return but no idea if I'll be able to physically return it so whatever. But worse than that, now that I look again on Amazon this exact same microphone is being sold under multiple different invented brand names. And I mean it is the exact same microphone with a different name on it. Is one of them genuine and I got one of the knock-offs? Or are they all junk? That's the problem with Amazon these days, it used to be really good now it's saturated with a million dodgy junk sellers, it's not much better than eBay.

Ahh....
I always use WD40. applied with a soft cloth of kitchen roll, then buffed off. An excellent degreaser as well

Thanks for the advice BM.

This isn't looking good. Control unit is £95, looks like each LED is £107 and it's liable to be one or the other, the unit is now discontinued so a replacement is proving difficult to source, and the thought of changing it with new mounting screws through the pride & joy that is the tiled splash back & possibly exposing the old holes is not impressing me. Deep joy.

Update, that dreaded day arrived , we had to put our beloved dog Millie to sleep this morning, trying to remember the 13.5 years of happiness gone in a few seconds, but it's so hard , the wife's in bits. R,I,P , Millie xx

Sorry to hear that mate, crack open something tonight and have a wee toast ?

Agreed. Until you've had that ring pulled into your finger cutting it open, tearing the flesh.....

I rarely have worn one. A mate ripped his finger clean off when we were putting up the goal nets and he caught the wedding ring on the hook which he had to jump up to. ??

Acronyms.
There are so many being banded about that some posts are totally lost on me.
Probably just an age thing.

Happened to me: helping a mate on his farm caught ring in the bale strapping; neatly stripped skin along length of finger - great surgeon in North Devon Infirmary neatly stitched the bits we found, complete with the nail - about 8 stitches along both side of the full finger. He didn't manage to get it quite straight on both sides so the finger is wonky. Needless to say it put me off rings !!

You were lucky, they said to my mate that they couldn't do anything to repair it and just removed the bones

I always take my wedding ring off to play golf. A) It feels comfier and B) got it caught in some branches looking for a ball in a bush and like others ripped a small chunk. Still got a scar

It's true; your brother is more helpful.

I wore my 1st wedding and engagement rings, until I got a job as a radial driller in Caterpillar factory back in 1966.What a bad year that turned out to be , 67 was just as bad

Having failed to obtain a delivery slot from any store, I have now managed to get a Click and Collect at Morrisons tomorrow. Problem is I have to spend a minimum of £40. I was forced into ordering a couple of bottles of wine and some beer to make it up to £40.
