    Found A Leak In My Jeep Radiator

    I think that applies to pretty much any modern car. Gone are the days when you could lift the bonnet/hood and reach inside and replace any broken component. Now there are acres of plastic covering pretty much everything and even if you manage to remove all of those you are confronted with all...

    Cookbooks

    I believe they were blackbirds but I'm sure starlings would do at a pinch ;). I seem to remember a recipe for cooking a sheep's head and another for a calves' head :oops:. I'll stick to beans on toast.....much safer with that. Jay.

    Cookbooks

    I wouldn't say I am manic about cookery books per se but I am rather manic about antiquarian books in general (mostly history, geography, known sciences of the time including medicine etc) but I do have in my collection an early 18th century cookbook or as it is called 'A Book Of Household...

    Not Hollywood Boulevard

    I was about to say the same. Jay.

    The Strip Club.

    Thanks for the education. I was a bit wary of asking as per when I first read about buffalo wings, I didn't dare show my ignorance (and leave myself open to much ridicule and being labelled Mr. Thicko) by asking on the Forum so I had to do a Google search instead :rolleyes: Jay.

    They Want My Blood.

    Ha! I once asked a district nurse that came for my blood how she came to be a phlebotomist to which she replied "a what?" :oops: Jay.

    They Want My Blood.

    I can't be certain if that was the same thing but if it was then the following would confirm my suspicions that US Big Pharma was involved. GRAIL Bio UK Ltd. is the main funder and organiser of this trial. It is a branch of GRAIL, Inc. in the United States that developed the Galleri test. Jay.

    They Want My Blood.

    The thing is I also get those, actually twice a year. A district nurse from my own local surgery comes in and takes the blood and about a week later I get the results over the 'phone. No money or vouchers change hands. That is why I was so suspicious of these 2 letters, it just didn't 'smell...

    They Want My Blood.

    This morning I got two, yes two identical letters from the NHS extolling the virtues of diagnosing all manner of future ailments by looking at my blood. Things like (some) cancers were mentioned, dementia and related conditions along with various others and guess what.....they even offered me a...

    The Strip Club.

    Excuse my ignorance but what exactly is a chicken strip (the edible variety)? I'm guessing strips of chicken breast that is coated in batter but you can never be sure when it comes to American food :rolleyes: Jay.

    Happy Groundhog Day

    Love the bent stack. Do I see a rubber (?) grommet twixt the bowl & the base? Jay.

    Happy Groundhog Day

    I never knew you were a Falcon smoker. Quite different from your normal pipes that I've seen. I have a few in my collection, alas never to be smoked again.....at least not by me :( Jay.

    1% Chance of Asteroid Impact

    Not necessarily so, if it landed in Russia there could well be radioactive fallout because according to Putrid he has anti west missiles 'hidden' all over the country :oops: Jay.

    Fisherman With Cutty a Van Gough?

    Doesn't look like a typical European. Did Van Gogh travel? Jay.

    UFO's & UAP's: Is the Truth Out There?

    We have our very own 'unexplained weird sighting', in this case only ever witnessed by children, it is the famous Owlman of Mawnan which hangs around our 13th century church! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owlman https://cornishbirdblog.com/the-owlman-of-mawnan-smith/ Strictly speaking it was...

    SSD or HDD For Archiving Music: Advice Please.

    Well guys, thanks all of you for the input. Having looked at what is available on Amazon, and reading some of the more honest looking reviews I feel that the best way for me to go would be by buying say four 256gb pendrives from a known brand and spreading my album folders in to those. That...

    My New Hat from Boston Scally Hat.

    Good to see you again. I thought you'd moved to the moon or something. Jay.

    SSD or HDD For Archiving Music: Advice Please.

    Well I can get a SanDisk 1TB for £75 which sounds reasonable to me but on Amazon it has plenty of negative reviews though far more positive reviews. BTW, isn't an SSD the same as a USB stick? Jay.

    SSD or HDD For Archiving Music: Advice Please.

    In an attempt to reduce my ever growing mountain of CDs I've taken to ripping them to FLAC files then burning them onto USB sticks to plug into my AVR. I chose to use 32gb sticks so as to keep track of which group was on which stick, such as all Floyd, Tull & Zeppelin on one stick, Dire Straits...

    A little Humor for the Day 2025

    Only last week whilst watching BBC News America there was a lady presenter who was relating to some story from there and she pronounced it 'wercestershire' which I thought hilarious. It's actually pronounced 'wuster~shire' but I'm sure you know that ;) Rather like Howick on the Scottish...
