Get one...they are brilliant.

I probably will.

Even if it just offers a solution to the stairs it would be a benefit.

It looks heavy and not easy to use with one hand.

Whats wrong with Banana's?

very keen friends you have.
Bananas in trifle show ill breeding apparently. So she said. As you can imagine, the next time she had trifle at my house she was confronted with six whole ones sticking up!

I am not very good with maps and plans. Where are the french doors? Do they come off the kitchen?
The French Windows/Doors are shown on the decking drawing on the left of Deck-1 it says double doors.

It seems people got a satisfactory result eventually and I’m sure if you buy from a shop there’s no problem – but the problems seemed to be the necessity to make many more phone calls if you bought on-line from somewhere other then GTech. Probably just an Amazon problem.
Thats strange, i've registered and it seems pretty cheap to me.

thats a load of rubbish, anyone could say a crazy thing like that, i could say it's ill breeding to put cake in or jelly or strawberries, you can put whatever you want, i like all fruit in a trifle, the more the merrier.

I use it every day...two cats and Mr Brain sprinkling pretzels with cheery abandon...a three storey house...absolutely no problem. I have had it for two years now and never bothered with servicing or parts. it is very easy to clean. The prices are pretty much the same everywhere. They are about to launch (or maybe they have) a television ad choreographed by Arlene Phillips........anything is better than a Dyson.......

Yes I think so too. It has amused me for years though.
What a feeble advert.


I see Gina Rio is on a diet.

I watched that, don't tell anyone though, i'm sure they could have saved a few bob if they had 1 girl less.

Why, what have you got against the poor apostrophe?

I noticed that, maybe Katie H said something, i think Gina looks pretty cuddly to me as she is, and it's all her.

And i assume if you lose weight you lose it from the best bits first.

Cuddly? Theres nothing of her. She is very slim and pretty already.

The whole pancakes? We got some ready made pancakes once (they were probably ten pence) but they were like leather. Your pancakes sound very exotic.

Crikey! Couldn't they just wear bigger pants?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...ous-about.html
Usually shop bought pancakes are awful, but these are very nice when microwaved. I put 2 in, plus fillings, for 2 and a half minutes on high.
Good grief! I think I must live on another planet...


My latest drawing of the decking, it's approx a scale of 1 to 60 to give the size in mm.

The second drawing is the Garden plant tub layout showing summer houses, Gazebo and Raised Beds.

Wow Hicky, I'm very impressed!
Do you remember the old "dustbusters"? They were pretty heavy. When Dour sensible boy was three him and his friend "abandoned George" had one each and they used them for space pistols, painting and hunting down flies. They were enthralled with them. (the flies less so)

what you used, Hicky, was the wandering and annoyingly intrusive apostrophe, which is becoming so very popular these days. An apostrophe should never be used to denote the plural of anything. The way you've put it makes it seem as if a single bananas actually possessed something.
It's something that pedantic people like me always notice.....

I dont care about apostrophes, and I very often hardly bother with punctuation, but I fly into a rage when people say "brought" for "bought" And use "would and wouldn't" and "should and shouldn't" interchangeably .



And.... "it needs washed" instead of "it needs washing" etc.

I was going to do that but O/H said she wants them heating in a frying pan so they don't go soggy.

I do love drawings, the scale isn't too good because the A4 paper is too small slightly but the next scale would ruin it.
It's an electrical design program really, but it's free and good fun, you can do anything with it, when you see a dot, it thinks i want to make an electrical connection., if you go too close with the lines it jumps to connect up.

I must admit i tend to use them rather haphazardly, i would prefer if we never used them, not a lot of reason too is there?

I tend to sometimes use them as plurals, i'm so naughty.

ah yes, and "myself" when they mean "me", and "was sat" when they mean "seated"

’d affernoon. One of my jobs is correcting and editing magazines submission and so I find people that deliberately use stray apostrophes very annoying and childish. It seems to be an offshoot TOWIE phenomenon where ignorance and lack of knowledge is a saleable asset – Joey Essex, Brian Belo, Amy Childs…

Of course, I would assume that if Hicky were to submit an article for publication he would endeavor to make sure it was an error free as possible and this is a lighthearted forum where a touch of naughtiness is just a niggle but not important.

Hi Gemo.:+))))))))))))

You are of course correct, i think on forums it's mostly that people can be in a rush, or can't be bothered, i think as long as it is readable it's not that important.

For instant, who says a new sentence should start with a capital, or that an i on it's own should be a capital, what utter rubbish, someone started the language, i'm sure, considering it isn't within the law then we should be able to do what we want, who is to say we can't?

And who is to say that when we write Can't that it should have an apostrophe, surely everyone on earth knows that it is 2 words joined, and if not who cares.

The people whose job it is to make sure things are correct. Inaccuracies can lead to ambiguities.

… and in exam situations accuracy and attention to detail in essay writing tells the examiner about how the student applies him/herself in other aspects of their work. Same applies with a CV, people dress up in a suit for their interviews – using correct grammar and spelling on a CV is likely to get you to that interview.

I enjoy my editing – I sometimes get submissions from non-English speakers (they probably use Babelfish or something similar on their articles) and there’s a lot of guesswork in working out what they are trying to say and I like to try to keep the character of their writing.

But that doesn’t matter on a forum but to deliberately break the “rules” for the sake of it is a bit stupid. Occasionally when I’m typing with one hand I don’t use upper case, but that is usually when I’m chatting.

It is possible that I’m a bit anal about typography. I even use proper quotes – “ ” and ‘ ’ instead of ' and " – but extended Ascii is a hard habit to break and I need it for my job so why should I.

In "its" the apostrophe is used if it is short for "it has" or "it is" but not to show possession such as "the lorry has shed its load" even though it is logical to do so, and even though we used to use it in this way and it died out.
(Probably because of lazy people on forums like me)

Words change meaning very quickly. I can think of a few that have acquired a new meaning in just a few years.
As we are communicating more by writing these days I suppose the changes will be even quicker.
Should I learn to embrace someone having a "brought" house?

You should admire them if they managed to drag it along behind them with a harness attached.

That is exactly what I imagined. After them setting off the "unexpected Item" alarm as it went through the self serve till at Tesco.


I wonder how much of it is due to those stupid phones with the lousy correction thing?

Good Morning Everyone.:+)))))))))))))))

Couldn't get back to sleep so i may as welll get a cup of tea and empty the dishwasher.

Warmish here today anyway.
At least my garden is getting work done, even if its only the fences.
Also need a bonfire, got rather a lot of tree to burn, at least it doesn't have leaves.

That is exactly what I imagined. After them setting off the "unexpected Item" alarm as it went through the self serve till at Tesco.

Hi Honey.:+))))))))))))))))

The first thing i do on any phone or Pad is to try and get the word aids to pack it in, never seen such a load of rubbish that gets substituted for what you really want, in fact its embarrassing.
