Leaving the kitchen light on overnight is the other. Aditi’s parents were obsessive about locking outside doors during the day and had internal security locks as well. I woke up one morning to find an aeroplane outside my bedroom door. Turns out my wife had left the landing lights on. 1 4 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post newbryford Posted March 15 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted March 15 17 hours ago, Winslow Boy said: I was always under the impression that Polar Bears were okay with the cold but perhaps not. A baby polar bear comes home from school and asks his mother if he’s really a polar bear. Mom says, “Of course you are, honey! Now go do your homework before we have dinner.” The next day, the baby polar bear comes home from school and asks his grandfather if he’s really a polar bear. Grandpa says, “Of course you are, kiddo! Now go do your homework before we have dinner.” The third day, the baby polar bear comes home from school and asks his grandmother if he’s really a polar bear. Grandma says, “Of course you are, sweetie! Now go do your homework before we have dinner.” On the fourth day, the baby polar bear comes home from school and asks his father if he’s really a polar bear. Dad raises his voice as he responds, “Wait a minute. I heard you ask Mom that question and she told you yes, you’re a polar bear. Then you asked Grandma and Grandpa the same thing and they also said you’re a polar bear. Now you’re coming to me, so I have to know: why do you keep asking everyone if you’re a real polar bear?” The baby polar bear replies: “Because I’m f***ing freezing!” 4 1 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted March 15 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 15 (edited) Just for the cake lovers.... (I think there's the odd one or two out there) Whilst on holiday, it was Mrs NB's birthday, so the opportunity was taken by myself and Junior NB (whilst having a day out on the Dubai Metro.....) to purchase some cakes for her. These took a bit of protecting during the rush hour crowds.... Edited March 15 by newbryford 14 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted March 15 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 15 Just found a leaking pipe coming out of the hot water tank in the airing cupboard. Switched everything I could off and have retightened the union so the spray is now a drip. I'm too old for this carp so am awaiting a call back from a plumber. I don't need an overnight emergency panic, but hope I can get a plumber to call sometime tomorrow. Needless to say it will be expensive. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
