    It might be that the freezer is overly enthusiastic of course.
    Ah, I'd forgotten about that - happened to me a few times

    Another one is the cling film ceasing to cling once it's frozen, so I go to grab something and the film sort of unravels and slips off, leaving the food behind

      Just discovered that the double density drives on the Intel blue box used some obscure format called M2FM which seems to be totally unlike almost anything else, other than some weird format that HP used on the 9845 8" floppy disks.

      Just as well I stuck to the bog standard SD FM 8" diskettes then.

        The clingfilm needs to say it's freezer safe.

        Some can't go in the freezer and some can't go in the microwave.

        I started looking years ago when some friend said ou can cancer from using the wrong type of clingfilm in the wrong place.

        Oh and it isn't cost related.

                  It's almost half a mile there and back, you know! Maybe a bit less

                  Anyway, it was very palatable

                  The Chinese lady is still on holiday. I don't know how long she's gone for.

                    While I was eating I watched a hospital documentary from BBC Northern Ireland. They had a chap having a stent put in, like I did

                    There was also an interesting bit about brain surgery. A speech therapist met with the patient and talked about various subjects with him. Then, while the surgeon was picking the tumour out of his brain, she was there and talked about the same subjects with him, as she could detect if the surgeon was affecting healthy tissue by minute changes in the way he structured his sentences or found words
