1935 build for us and British built which I've generally found to be poor so sounds similar!

Ours was early 50s; typical two bedroom weatherboard where the laundry was probably outside originally but someone put a door through from inside at some point. I loved that house and hated it probably almost as much. It had a lot of quirks. Once a friend stayed in the spare room and said she couldnt sleep a wink because of all the creaking and groaning noises, but I guess I'd just got used to all the strange noises it made.
 
Our house is quite simply drafty. Too drafty to get that compensation effect I guess. Good with the bad.

Oh dontcha hate that. Seems that what I type is not what ends up on the screen. And sometimes four letter words are inserted by auto and need a hasty amendment. :eek:

So, speaking of four letter words. We were watching Billy Connelly the other night at 7.30 on Ch 7. 32 year old son was quite perturbed at his use of the C word. Thoughts?

I hate the C word.

Had to counsel someone at work about using it. SHE was calling a guy it. No. Just, no!
 
Window update... A little quieter, perhaps slightly warmer, and still plenty of condensation. I'll do the outsides next week.
 
It's like any other swear. I see no problems with it over anything else. I guess other people's sensitivity to it improves its impact? :p

Recently bought an S8. Always hated Samsung for phones and this is no exception. Battery life on this has been worse than my old phone which lasted nearly 2 years and only cost £100. Unfortunately it's the only Android option that allows me to use one of client's mail solution.

My experience with batteries in general has been quite poor. I remember the early days of the bricks. You used those to talk 2-3 times and the battery was gone.

I'll be trying to get an S7. I have skipped all the even numbered S* phones.

I'm still using an S4

... but I am reasonably diligent at making sure the battery is generally cycled by going from 100% to < 20% before recharging.
 
That awkward moment when a coworker brings their adorable kid to work and says, "Give Denali a kiss goodbye" but you notice they have a cold sore on their lip and do your best not to touch the kid.

WTF, babies with cold sores!

I've never wanted to kiss a baby and refuse to do so. My immediate family has finished breeding and always understood. Other people, I don't care what they thought but always wondered why they wanted their precious child to be kissed by a non-family member.
