How can a show as stunningly funny as TLOG be so horribly disturbing at the same
time?

Re: What have you just bought?

Temperature alarms for fridge and freezer, after the freezer door was left ajar overnight, ruining most of the contents.

Don't have any direct evidence, but it's certain that house guests left the dishwasher door ajar the night before.

But that's just a coincidence, surely?

Re: What have you just bought?

A wide cast iron reversible griddle for £14 delivered.

7168nbkmgvL._SL1500_.jpg

I already have a smaller cast iron griddle pan but I need something wider to cover two burners at the back of the hob rather than one larger at the front when cooking big steaks and the accompanying extras. Should also help the extractor hood to handle the smoke better.

Description says non-stick but what they really mean is AFTER you've seasoned it like a wok. It's a basic cast iron jobby.

Re: What have you just bought?

Reduced price deli ham and some Irish rump steaks: 590g for £4.75. Looks like steak for dinner.

Sainsbury's knocking out their white rum at £14 a litre. Got one of those too, hic.

Re: What have you just bought?

Charity shop bargain - a Pioneer DVD / HDD recorder for £20 - seems to work fine, panel display a little weak, but otherwise ok - it does have freeview, and upscales to HDMI.
There's not many that do electricals, as they have to be PAT tested.
