    Panic buying

    I went to do a click and collect from Wickes, a month or two back. Iirc, there was something up with the website, and they said just come on down. They told me that the problem was that a number of people would phone up/ internet order to collect, but never turn up. They would put the item aside for collection, and it meant that they had stock that they couldn't sell, until the time collection period ended. Tool station collects payment when you order, Don't know if Wickes are any different, and it was some other reason.
  4. You've been signed up to the windows insider program. XD
  5. It could be more fun - get the kids a pair of stilts, let 'em walk along the top of the wall, maybe walk along the beach, or give up and go elsewhere, like the warren.
  6. The most there could be would be say a total of 30 young rabbits in two distinct age groups.
  7. A woman decides to have a face lift for her 50th birthday. She spends $15,000 and looks and feels absolutely great about the results. On her way home, she stops at a news stand to buy a newspaper. Before leaving, she says to the clerk, ‘I hope you don’t mind my asking, but how old do you think I am?". 'About 32,' is the reply.' 'Nope! I'm exactly 50,' the woman says happily. A little while later she goes into McDonald's and asks the counter girl the very same question. The girl replies, 'I'd guess about 29.' The woman replies with a big smile, 'Nope, I'm 50.' Now she's feeling really good about herself. She stops at a candy shop on her way down the street. She goes up to the counter to get some mints and asks the assistant the same burning question. The clerk responds, 'Oh, I'd say 30.' Again she proudly responds, 'I'm 50, but thank you!' While waiting for the bus to go home, she asks an old man waiting next to her the same question. He replies, 'Lady, I'm 78 and my eyesight is going. Although, when I was young there was a sure-fire way to tell how old a woman was. It sounds very forward, but it requires you to let me put my hands under your bra. Then, and only then I can tell you EXACTLY how old you are.' They wait in silence on the empty street until her curiosity gets the better of her. She finally blurts out, 'What the hell, go ahead.' He slips both of his hands under her blouse and begins to feel around very slowly and carefully. He bounces and weighs each breast and he gently pinches each nipple. He pushes her breasts together and rubs them against each other. After a couple of minutes of this, she says, 'Okay, okay.....How old am I?' He completes one last squeeze of her breasts, removes his hands, and says, 'Madam, you are 50.' Stunned and amazed, the woman says, 'That was incredible, how could you tell?' 'I was behind you at McDonald's'
  8. A young New York woman was so depressed that she decided to end her life by throwing herself into the ocean. But just before she could throw herself from the docks, a handsome young man stopped her. "You have so much to live for," said the man. "I'm a sailor, and we are off to Italy tomorrow. I can stow y ou away on my ship. I'll take care of you, bring you food every day, and I'll keep you happy." With nothing to lose, combined with the fact that she had always wanted to go to Italy, the woman accepted. That night the sailor brought her aboard and hid her in a small but comfortable compartment in the hold. From then on, every night he would bring her three sandwiches, a bottle of red wine, and to her until dawn. Three weeks later she was discovered by the captain during a routine inspection. "What are you doing here?" asked the captain. "I have an arrangement with one of the sailors," she replied, truthfully. "He brings me food and I get a free trip to Italy ." "I see," the captain said. Her conscience got the best of her and she added, "Plus, to be honest, he's been screwing me." "He certainly has," replied the captain. "This is the Staten Island Ferry ." -- Virus-free. www.avg.com
  9. just need to work in a peasant pheasant plucker
  10. The best thing about Bristol, is seeing it in your rear view mirror.
  11. Area 51 You've all heard of the Air Force's ultra-high-security, super-secret base in Nevada, known simply as Area 51. Well, late one afternoon, the Air Force folks at Area 51 were very surprised when without permission or radio contact, a Cessna landed at their "secret" base. They immediately impounded the aircraft, handcuffed the pilot and hauled him to an interrogation room. The pilot's story was that he took off from Vegas, got lost, and spotted the base just as he was about to run out of fuel. The Air Force started a full FBI-NSA background check on the pilot and locked him up overnight. By noon the next day, they were finally convinced that the pilot really was lost and wasn't a spy. They gassed up his airplane, gave him a terrifying "you-did-not-see-a-base" briefing, complete with threats of spending the rest of his life in prison, told him Vegas was that-a-way on such-and-such a heading, and sent him on his way. However, the next day, to the total disbelief of the Air Force, the same Cessna violated restricted airspace and again plopped down on the long runway at Area 51. Again, MP's with guns drawn surrounded the plane which this time contained two people. The same pilot jumped out, with hands-up, laid spread-eagle on the ground and screamed, "Do anything you want to me, but my wife is in the plane and you have to tell her where I was last night!"
  12. use a black sharpie, or go to settings, personalisation, task bar.
  13. many tips are copper coated with iron to give durability. Filing a tip will not be a good idea, get a tip/tips of the right shape.

  15. Virtually all of silverline products are cheap junk. For electronics, get a small spade bit for your antex. You need heat and speed, not hanging around with an underpowered iron. and get cored solder, lead/tin not the lead free rubbish.
  16. At the age of nineteen years, the young male cannibal is taken by his father to learn how to hunt. They settle by a well trodden trail, and wait for victims to arrive. The first one is an old man, limping badly. The son says - 'He'll do, would be easy to catch', but his father says,' Not worth it, all skin and bone.' A bit later, a rather fat younger woman walks past - ' How about her?', but the father says, 'No, think of all that cholesterol, she'd make a pretty unhealthy meal.' Eventually, another young woman walks past, about 25 years old, not too fat, rather good looking. The son says, 'surely, she'll do' 'No' the father says - 'We'll take her home and eat your mother.'
  17. depends if you pronounce it as 'Lizzie in the sky ....'
  18. not sure if mentioned, but girl on top of helter-skelter = LSD
  19. I'm guessing w10 updated last night? and it moved one of the ide dependencies, thinking it was not needed. Maybe the Arduino forum has an idea, not been there for a while. If you reinstall the arduino ide, , then use something like revo uninstall to remove all traces of the previous version. In the past, I've found that sometimes reinstalling software uses previous settings (ini file/equivalents) and the new installation uses the same locations as the previous version.
  20. two nuns sneaking back into the convent, after curfew, climbing over the wall. One says - " I feel like a Royal Marine", the other responds, "So do I, but where can we find one this time of night?"
  21. If the w10 nag screen annoys you - https://www.windowslatest.com/2020/06/07/windows-10-full-screen-setup-prompts-are-back/
  22. I used to get 'remould quality' tyres. They were always new tyres, but were often in sizes that had been overstocked, or ones with perhaps a tread pattern defect from the mould.
  23. The blade profile is optimised to do most jobs, most likely none of them particularly well. The offset from the centre line will have to be significant, if the friction to rotate the blade is high. So, if you reduce thart distance, I would guess you will need to take very light passes to reduce the friction caused by pressure, but not so light that there is not enough pressure to turn the blade. If you make the rear edge more vertical (the point more acute) then the tip of the blade will be weakened, and will most likely not stay sharp for long. I guess you will need more than one blade to successfully experiment, but seeing as it is not doing what you want at the moment, then you may as well have a go. The photo is of three spare blades for a hand held swivel (drag) knife. the rule calibrations is in mm. They simply fit loosely in a hand piece, plenty of slack, but the blade is actually 'leaning back, and is quite acute, Because it is most likely stabbed into the sheet when starting the cut, and being controlled by hand, more sensitivity can be applied compared to being machine driven. The blades and knife handle were bought from 'the Range' a few years ago, for not much money, but it may be possible to adapt your blade holder to take them. e.g. pull out your steel blade, and drill plastic to take these blades
  24. During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, "How do you determine whether or not an older person should be put in an old age home?" "Well," he said, "We fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the person, to empty the bathtub." "Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the bucket, because it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup." "No," he said. "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?" DO YOU WANT THE BED NEXT TO MINE?
