  1. It's quite a beast and comes with attachments for cleaning your tongue, a cone shaped gizmo for cleaning up your nose, (not gonna happen!) fine jet for braces. and other bits and pieces. I expected it to have a charger that plugged into the shaver socket but it has a USB and a diagram showing it being charged by connecting to a laptop or phone! Damn clever these Chinese
  2. Went to London and back on Saturday for a dental check up. "You are not cleaning properly, I see lots of plaque" she said, so today I've bought a dental irrigator. OK, so far so good, filled it with warm water after charging it up and gave it a go. It's how I imagine being shot in the gob would be! Herself was in hysterics at my antics trying to control the damn thing - until I took it out of my mouth and shot her and number one grandson in the face. The bathroom needed a mop and I've decided it should be used in the shower only, there's too much collateral damage otherwise.
  3. It's not about 'posh' BK. In my little collection is a mechanical Timex, a non descipt quartz that came free with a carton of cigarettes, my grandads retirement watch among others...
  4. Margie those are words that have been applied to me many times... but I just smile and.... oooo shiny.....
  5. If I have a fetish it's for watches, there are six sitting under my monitor all showing as near as possible the same time - to the second. I can't walk past a jewellers without, oooo shiny...
  6. Simply move the gnomon... simples.
  7. I can't see your pics Compo! Where are all those lovely random character strings? All I see are pictures of some poor souls wandering round a cliff top and looking out to sea... very strange...
  8. Heh, usually saying that is tempting fate....
  9. Oooo scarey stuff, one hour and still there....
  10. You mean I've got to take this lot out of the boot again!? Ah well I suppose I can wait a bit longer... get well soon trogg
  11. My dad worked there from the days of his apprenticeship until the day he simply walked out thirty years later. No amount of asking why or the efforts of Lee & Hunt would get him to give any reason...
  12. Try closing the browser and look again..
  13. I've just realised how appropriate this topic heading is. Things you don't see any more.......... Compo's pics!
  14. Col I could see them earlier (they looked disgusting) but they've done a Compo now...
  15. Well sorry folks I'm not giving up me Yorkshire Tea and drinking Earl Grey just to see Compo's pics... good as they are so there
  16. There are companies that give the printer for 'free' if you buy two sets of ink/toner.
  17. Compo's curse is still working it seems....
  18. It's entirely possible you broke them by using paper thicker than they could handle...If you're like me you probably only read manuals after an appliance breaks... it's man thing..
  19. Cut 'n' crease the card, print your design/picture on photo paper and stick it on? Photo paper usually runs better fed in from the rear where possible... Inkjets designed to handle card stock tend to be a bit expensive for home users
  20. I wasted money on a 3D capable monitor too, I have never actually found anything 3D that plays on it.
  21. For as often as you need a greetings card I would suggest an online 'design it yourself' site...
  22. The 'poshest' hi-fi I ever had was quadrophnic. Like VHS and Betamax for video, there were two systems and my setup did both. Apart from a couple of experimental transmissions there was never any content to listen to and I quickly became bored with sitting in the one square feet of carpet (to get the proper effect), to listen to the demo, (Sound of a carousel)
