ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

No.

See post immediately preceding your post. ;)

They can put a man on the moon, but despite my father buying better and better TVs, our reception is shit in the kitchen and the back bedroom. You have to switch it onto Sky to get a good reception in the kitchen, but only if it's the same Sky channel the person in the living room is watching. Ahem, I would be in the living room if I was watching the same programme.

And it used to be that you could get a decent reception up here on the terrestrial channels. Lord alone knows how this one is wired up (Sky used to be on channel 6 - BBC1 now appears to be on channel 8)

It's something that apparently be fixed when we switch over to Digital?!
I have my doubts.
These new TVs should be crystal clear, not look like a colour version of the moon landings. Something is wrong somewhere.

inveterate tinkerer here (ha). You don't have a cobbler nearby? I have two within five minutes drive (probably some hopping joke there, but I'd drive). Bummer.

Oh, I'm sure there are shoe repair stores, but when the heel starts falling off the rest of the shoe is usually worn and crappy looking anyway.

Since I don't buy Manolo Blahniks, it's cheaper to just replace them.

I always have a couple of cobblers nearby.

People are like that with dogs too. "Oh but you'll just love my Ruffkin, he wouldn't bite you, he's more liklely to lick you to death" Like that's a good thing? ugh.

Ha, this same friend is that way about dogs. About any pet, really, except fish. She just plain doesn't care for them. She's not a hater, and is nice to friends' dogs, but would prefer them to pay attention to someone else (ME! I get all stupid and lovey with doggehs.) I don't throw dogs at her thinking she'll all of a sudden LOVE them. :lol:

Tell you what, I'll try some of your mayo if you'll kiss the dog on the lips

They can put a man on the moon, but they can't put corn starch in a packet you can use without spilling drifts of it everywhere. :mad:

You need NASA's zero-G cornstarch tubes!

Why aren't there marijuana pills?

Ever heard of cookies?
