    That's right, Wherenext. However, you could have stopped cleaning, as soon as you noticed it and left the rest of the cleaning for the dealer to do. That way it could have saved you some work and time!

    Just spent another hour roughly planning our May/June trip 'over there' so the germ of an idea now more or less formulated.  Apart from the ferry crossings booked no sites booked.  However having done all this graft I'm pretty sure it will change several times, pointless reallysurprised

    Still it keeps me out of trouble

    pointless think of doing anything outside today, wet and windy. A day to sit in front of a log fire, listening to music or watching a movie.

    OH has just a bit of food shopping for me, delivered a paper to our elderly neighbours, all sorted. Looks like a stay in day here, grey skies, more rain, maybe a bit of greenhouse work later. Packets of seed are looking at me, asking to be sown! wink

    Thanks for your photos on the other thread Cariadon, I enjoyed seeing them the other day.

    I'm like Oneputt. I've booked the ferry and had a browse round Google Earth but apart from a few embryonic ideas, I shall probably just "drive south until the butter melts".

    Today is the start of 3 days off work. Heaven! However, with the inclement weather, we're not sure whether there is much point in going out anywhere. Let's see! Maybe we can find a movie to watch on tv, or there's the Winter Olympics all a bit pointless but maybe entertaining!

    Climbing all the way to the top of a hill and then rushing all the way back down on a couple of narrow planks without any brakes at 80mph. Pointless and scary to boot.

    Well we have snow and storms in sunny Somerset just now, although it looks colder in S Korea our local weather could be described as very unsettled!

    Last week I thought it about time to replace my 2001 UK Road Atlas. WH Smith kindly gave me a 40% off at Beefeater voucher, so last evening we duly presented it at the pub in Port Solent. "Oh no, sir, we are a Harvester". Pointless.

    Moving day today. I suppose you could say it's pointless as it means a longer commute to get to work but nevertheless has to be done!

    It was minus 9 in Beijing when I was there in January 2006 and I can assure you, that that was more than cold enough for me! If that's not cold enough, try visiting Harbin, North China, during the winter snow and ice festival in temperatures of minus 20!

    The other option, of course, is to stay here in UK all the year round and enjoy a much less extreme climate!

    You appear to be talking to yourself and answering your own posts. I hope you do indeed feel assured?

    Was going to make Yorkshire pudding for lunch, a bit pointless if you haven't got eggs.

    We've got frozen ones that we bought from the freezer section in Tesco.  Not so pointless, cariadon, if you don't have eggs!

    That's because nobody else is posting on here, brue! Someone's got to keep this thread going, don't you think?

    Rhetorical question ABM or are you advising something other than the 🍗🐔

    Yes, it certainly would be pointless! Perhaps you could settle for a chicken burger at Macdonalds instead!

    Pst!-  I've got 6 chickens, so if any junk food chain would like to make a bid for them, they are welcome to.

    Bit coins not accepted.

    .I wonder what they put in some of this fast food to make people miss it so much...

    Pointless them  put anything addictive in for me I don't miss it, because I never eat them. The only the take away i'll eat is Fish and Chips, and in some places they can be awful. I rather make my own, then I know what's in it and I am using proper ingredients and not made up substitute.

    Our local Chinese is very good. Superb prawn crackers.👍  Excellent value as well. Are they still allowed to use that MSG? They still seem to be able to source chicken.😀

    Haven't had a take away for years except  fish and chips from another village, a bit variable. Never had KFC, no appeal.

    A  bit  Variable 

    Were  they  the  Crinkle  Cut  Sort  perhaps,  or  just  hand  cut  from  non  standard  sized  spuds undecided ??smile
