You have splashed out on a tap? Wow you've really hit the big time. Does it draw from the bath water that you all share once a month?

Didn't say it was my tap. We have some posh people on the row with their very own outside tap. Beat's using rainwater overflow.

That won't flow through a tap, they use a shovel for the bath "water".

That's a luxury in our house. Hot water for the pot noodles is only for family Sunday lunch on the last Sunday of the month. Rest of time it's straight out the tap...cold tap.

NLUK microwaves the water that goes in the pot noddle. He's a tight Northerner, he's heard this will save him 1p

Well he's wrong there then: 70% efficient at converting input energy into heat, compared with an electric kettle:at 80% (how the feck is it that low? the water is in direct contact with the element).

Ah, but you're assuming you're heating the same amount of water. With a microwave, you're only heating the water you need (a cup full) but in a kettle you're always boiling more water than you actually need.

is that the only T shirt you own?

Given I was pointing out I like pink, it would have been a smidge odd had I posted a picture of me wearing a different coloured top wouldn't it?

Unless you think posting a pic of me in a blue top would have been more apt?

Rachel bought the van, so she chose the seats ... was fine when she was still around as I could blame her ... but after I lost her, it seemed a bit harsh to blame my late wife for the colour of the seats ... so I sold the van

Must confess though ... in a silver van the seats worked well and I really liked them ... safe in my sexuality I'm happy with pink

Why can't a guy, straight or otherwise, have pink leather seats?

These are my old VW T5 van seat ....

[Whorty]

we know otherwise you would have a white rangerover with pink leather.

Turns out she only wanted me to cut her hair .... word of warning, you may not recognise her later as I'm not that skilled a hairdresser!

I'm not that skilled.
