I'm gonna have to look into whatever won't really degrade the stasis tubes, currently thinking distilled water but there's bound to be something better.

Distilled water with a splash of radiator inhibitor should do the trick.

Various car cleaning stuff from Bilt Hamber.
If you can be bothered cleaning your car yourself I give their stuff a hearty thumbs up. Probably a bit more than the usual suspects you get in Halfords or the supermarket but it's very effective. Car still very shiny and repelling water months after polish and wax. Just did a quick wash and applied their auto q d spray stuff and the car is looking like it did just after it was waxed.
Their auto wheel spray brings alloys up a treat as well. The only downside is a slightly unpleasant smell although I gather it's a lot better than older wheel cleaners. Sort of bubble gum smell I'd say.

Having spent hundreds of pounds over the years on detailing stuff, i can confirm that Bilt Hamber have some good stuff. I use their snowfoam and their clay bar.

Flocked, they're like mini versions of the puppets; they're great.

My new Moto G4 phone is looking very promising too, I'll do a mini review once I've had a proper look at it. But so far, it's £160 for 'reasonably comparable to something three times the price'.

A copy of Classic Rock is brilliant, even if the CD is sh1te as usual.

I got some Lego Obi-Wan buildable figures from Tesco for a fiver each (they're big). One will go to the nephew, the other two I'll sell.

Tesco's double concentrate orange is better than Robinsons' and isn't a laughable £3.75. No more drugs for them...

The Moto G4 is awesome. Great screen, great responsiveness, great price. The only niggle is apparently Google have decided that hiding/cocking up some of the more standard options like notification sounds and feedback is a good idea. GiffGaff's 4G's good too, but apparently even it won't help in the Twilight Zone that is my work.

$25 US plus about the same for postage. Very cheap compared to the limited edition prints which are eye-wateringly expensive.

Have a look at the shop here. I'd love to buy the Funeral Urn 8-) ...see under 'Specialities'.

That's not bad at all.

Funeral Urn...


What was wrong with him?

Died of a heart attack.

No, that's not what I meant...



I'd have one if I could!

Got a broken English email back from Amazon when I told them their Echo app was missing the voice training function that totally justifies THEIR NEW PIECE OF HARDWARE. If it's not sorted in a week or two it's going back. The only useful bit of info in their drivel was where they admitted that many are having the same problem... however it's no wonder, they've told other users they deliberately removed voice training from the app!

It's a big WTF?! from me :x

A board game called Labyrinth. Simple, yet effective. Very good buy.

A fleece lined top from M&S, bought mainly for wearing here in work over the coming months, because it gets bloody cold.
