Random Irritations

@Bunkermagnet do you know how to remove this built in IKEA MW?

It just trips the rcd all the time now and I want to take it out and just put a cheap replacement into the hole. Having a new kitchen next year.

Looking at a few online videos it looks like I need to take the side pieces off but I’ve had no luck!

Stupid thing is I fitted it about 12 years ago!


The first thing I would do is jut try to pull it out. I know my main oven is not secured in place by any fixings it just uses it's own weight to stay in place.
 
With all the sports on TV and a wet day forecast yesterday I decided to record the DP World Gold and watch it then.
After going through 5 hours of coverage during the afternoon I realised I had been watching day 3.

At least there is an upside - I still have the 4th day to watch on another wet and windy day this week.
 
Sometimes this makes me smile.

The house next to me has changed owners twice in the past few years. One of the owners did much of renewing everything when she moved in. Then when the next lot moved in most of what she had put in went down the skip.

One of the advantages of living in the same house for many years is that there is no keeping up with the neighbours and I only renew stuff when needed. The downstairs toilet still has the same sink in that was put in by the builders in 1975 (although other facilities have been renewed).

Some of it definitely needs doing. When we took up the lounge carpet the newspapers that had been laid underneath the underlay were dated 1971 so the carpets definitely need changing. Her mum is disabled so putting in a downstairs toilet is needed so her parents can come to visit. Other stuff is nice to have such as the fact we don't have a bath at the minute so would be good to get one fitted. Nearly all of the other stuff that "needs" doing according to Mrs Colch is in reality it's just gravy on top of the things that do actually need doing.
 
Travel abroad on a regular basis so think we know what we are doing going through security at Airports. Yesterday managed a “full house”!

1. Never took my belt off so ended up having to take my shoes off and through the other XRay machine.
2. When we came back last time we brought a corkscrew back and Mrs 3OTT never took it out of our hand case.
3. Stayed @ a Manc. airport Hotel and Mrs 30TT put toothpaste separate in the hand luggage.

Explained to her that it was a basic error on her part but she was having non of it!
 
The Newcastle WC fanzone, but if a rip off.
Usually they have two massive screens at each end plus two smaller ones in the middle. It this time, one large screen at one end so if you’re not 6ft 5 inches tall you can only see half the screen.
We walked out along with many others after 15 minutes of the game ?

Did you have to pay to get in?
 
Total chaos on M5 north today around Worcester - 90min to 2hr delays as a result of a truck breaking down and blocking two lanes. Driver should be hung, drawn and quartered for letting his truck break down.

Need to get Ferrari of LBC onto the case and lobbying for a change in the law to make it illegal to break down on a motorway and cause obstructions and delay to folks trying to go about their day2day business. What made it all the worse was that we had to divert by Evesham ??
