Given it's the 'remainder' tiramisu in the fridge it must have had some redeeming qualities?

All I've got is some mouldy carrots and a few limp lettuce leaves

Redeeming qualities?

1. It's only ten feet away
2. It's edible (if not yummy)
3. There isn't anything else

Mouldy carrots and limp lettuce - are they for the bunny in the Westinghouse?

Unfortunately it's a Fisher and Paykel. I could rename it a Westinghouse but I googled them the other day and see they're also nuclear reactor manufacturers

A nuclear reactor in the kitchen though - that could be entertaining

I thought I recognised the name from something else. I suppose nuclear reactors and cooling technologies do go hand in hand (Well, you sort of hope they would).

I've never heard of Fisher and Paykel though

*googlegooglegoogle*

A NZ company doing big fridge business right around the world, by the looks of it. I'll bear them in mind if the one I've got decides it's had enough of holding my skip o'pudding.

Yeah they seem to be pretty cool. They took my old fridge away to remove the refrigerant and recycle the metal bits. And apparently all the new appliances are designed to be dismantled and recycled fully at the end of it's life - in response to the European market.

Also my new one is made in NZ which makes me happy (we've lost so much other industry overseas).

All those things aren't the norm in good ole clean, green New Zealand, so it's nice to support a company that's making the effort.

Yes, the law about disposal of fridges got really very tight here some years ago. Quite rightly. Costs quite a bit.

Which has meant that your chances of bumping into one dumped in a hedge somewhere have been somewhat increased

I'm just watching someone on the telly singing in Gaelic (that's Scots 'gallic' rather than Irish 'gailic'). Very odd - sounds almost Native American.

*Hide*

*Little toast soldiers rush through*

Charge!

Did I just see you saying something very sensible in a threadful of silliness?

*tiptoes in and sprinkles flour on the floor*

I of course meant...



Hardly ever here at the moment - I've forgotten all the smileys!

Well... nearly all of them.

I think I might have done. It was just there and a thought came to me and even though I hadn't posted in Ask (or anywhere else very much) for months, posting happened. Before I could stop myself really

How are you? I see kiwifruit are happening also

Can't ever forget the smiley Or that one

So, spontaneous acts of sensibleness, eh

I'm in a bit of a bad mood at the moment. And, worse, I can't find any decent threads to take it out on

Yes, kiwifruit. Ah well, now I know what it's like to have someone change my writing (I never did find out what was changed with the Kakapo one).

Is your relative absence from hootoo a sign of life being good to you?

Just a sign of life being demanding with me, I think. Lots of work-related things filling my hours at the moment.

And I just did another post Not a sensible one this time either.

Look! No smileys at all!

Damn.

You trying to get me to read a thread about sp*rt?

Something weird is happening - I'm barely visible: you seem to be everywhere

I need another me. This me can't do all the things it's supposed to do

Let alone get on to hootoo and... well, hold your coat a lot by the looks of things

Hope all's well

Thanks Trin

I do seem to be all over the place at the moment. I keep expecting someone to come along and tell me to shut-up

You must be here enough to be reading though! Maybe you could take just a wee bit of that time and post something...

*thinks then he'll get sucked in again and have to post more and more*

That gave me a fright. Your PS says your last post was on June 15 I thought that's a bit bloody serious, over a month ago. Except I see you posted just the other day in the the Trin's Hole in the Ground thread

It's been at least two years those things haven't been working. And you don't even have to leave off posting that long for it suddenly to decide you haven't been here for ten months

Mind you, it almost feels like I actually haven't been here for ten months I'm very dip in and outy at the moment. Spend more time signed in on UG accounts than on my own and that's still not very much either.

Whereas I see you've been pretty much everywhere recently Who went and woke up the 'What's Wrong with...' thread again?
