The General Chat Thread (2016-2022)

Sometimes, you really just have to sit back and wonder. I couldn't log on to my BT account, so I used their web chat facility and explained the problem I had. The following exchange took place:

BT person: Can you give me your account number?
Me: I don't have it because I can't get into my account.
BT: Okay, no problem, just log into your account and the number will be on the screen.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggggggggggggggh!

Yes, thank goodness. Recovery a lot longer if they have to open you up.
A relative's keyhole went wrong and they had to gut him like a fish.

Dame Enid Diana Elizabeth Rigg, DBE is 80 years old today. She was born in Doncaster, Yorkshire.

As a young teen I had the most terrible crush on her - just as she looked in the above guise.

As a young teen I was gonna marry someone either just like my mum or someone like Diana Rigg. She was absolutely perfect in the Avengers.

I've recently been annoyed by flies attempting to lay eggs in the ear/head phone sockets of my handphone and my laptop. I resorted to rolled up bits of paper but yesterday a mate made these for me on his 3D printer. Neat, yes?

I nipped into the coop this morning for a few bits, it came to £2.78p, I paid in 10p coins, my purse is considerably lighter

The temperature has dropped this afternoon so I have spent some time gardening.

Still hellishly hot here but overcast.

Still hellishly hot here but overcast.

The sun has now come out, we were thinking of having dinner in the garden but it is rather hot out there now

Took my old Honda to a local bike show [run by the local police] today - all went fine until the trip home - some idiot forgot to check how much fuel was in the tank . Had to call wife to bring out a can. Still an hour in leathers in full sun will definitely be a good reminder - bless her she brought some water too I'm not sure which I was most glad to see - water or fuel !

I have had to throw away 2 of my orchids

I spent the last two days digging out various cuttings of plants and whole bushes from my wife's friend's house, then attempting to replant them on my property.

I got 3 Fountain Grasses, 2 Rhododendrons, and a dwarf variegated Pampass grass.

Digging them out was easy, but you can't put a shovel in the ground on my yard more than a scant few inches before hitting a rock. And I mean big rocks. Basketball sized, and up to giant boulders just below the surface.

But, it's supposed to rain all week, so my timing was good, albeit a little late in the season.

Well done Lewis. Excellent drive!
