  1. LOL, you're a bit too far away to keep me warm Pot! These sound good... did you find the link?
  2. Sprog and I need a cheap way of heating our (average sized)living room. We have a storage hot-air heating system but this is about 30 years old and absolutely enormous, been told by neighbours it costs about £70-£80 a month to run... and it doesn't even heat all the rooms! Looking at buying a portable heater that will heat up living room quickly without costing a fortune. We're only at home in the evenings so probably only be on 3 or 4 hours a night. Been given a load of Argos vouchers so looking to buy heater from there, thing is I can't work out which is most efficient. Choices are (Argos pages 562-572):- 1) oil filled radiator (with variable thermostat and ECC) 2) oil-free heater (with variable thermostat and ECC) 3) panel heater 4) convector heater (with variable thermostat and ECC) 5) fan heater They all claim to be efficient - doing my head in now, ain't got a clue, and it's getting a bit nippy in the evenings! Suggestions (polite ones) please!
  3. How big's the property honey (ie potential occupancy)? Sprog and I can't manage with a built-in fridge and we're on our own! If it's bigger than a one-bed flat then buy the big fridge!

    Bath or shower?

    Yep, I agree with Ewen... baths are simply sitting in your own sewage - relaxing, true, but you've gotta have a shower after to be clean... especially if you're sharing the bath and sitting in someone elses sewage too!
  5. Whatever you use, cross your fingers he doesn't know about proxy servers. Last High School I taught in had all sorts of web security, but every day some little git found a proxy server we hadn't heard of and used that to access all sorts of naughties!
  6. Parked up outside B&Q in Luton Saturday eve.
  7. Yeah, probably lol... got a flat in Stopsley, thanks all. Now to arrange a mini-meet!
  8. Still trying to find somewhere to live for me and Sprog. Been looking Luton / Dunstable. Can anyone tell me where the nice bits of Luton are? I know around Wardown Park is nice... surely there must be more places!

    devastated

    Sorry to hear that... thoughts are with you and your family xxx
  10. Me... courtesy of Pot (thanks honey).
  11. Have PM'd Ibrar, thanks!
  12. Trying to find tyres and can only find cheap/nasty ones. Any ideas? Looking for two 245/50/R16... currently have Bridgestone Potenzas on there, but can't even find them! Alternative could be to fit different sized tyres, but I don't know what would fit on... have standard Toytota 16" J-spec rims (eg, would 255/50/R16 fit?). MOT in 3 or 4 weeks, and my tyres ain't gonna pass!
  13. Thinking of you honey... see ya when I get back!
  14. Stu, is our road flooded ? My sister says the garage was fine this morning... could be coz she's too lazy to empty it of course coz it's my stuff in there not hers! Garage is a bit higher up than you are (opposite where my car was parked). I ain't coming back til it's Sup-safe lol.
  15. Thanks to everyone for a FANTASTIC time... particularly to Tom and Mike (PixelFill) who worked their arses off all weekend, hope you're not working today! Big thanks to Steph, Anna and Suzy for helping to amuse my Sprog, and to Jon (Pig) for letting her have a lay-in. Tribute to Rik was awesome, would have loved to have seen/heard it from the balcony. Roll on next year...
  16. It's mine! Staying in Cheltenham for the summer!
  17. Yep! Will be somewhere on the M6/M1 when that's on so won't be going this month... August I'm in Cheltenham, but should be able to make it in September!
  18. Where's that then? Heard of that from a mate with a scooter!
  19. Doesn't look like we're gonna make it... too much packing to do. Will text Ian if we have a miraculous packing day tomorrow and can make it. Sorry peeps... see you at JAE !
  20. A few locals then... won't be the only Sup in the village any more lol. Are there any regular meets down there?
  21. I paid to have the pictures removed lol so they're not there any more.
  22. Moving to Dunstable now, not Hitchin. All my junk goes into storage on Monday, then I'm off to Cheltenham for the summer to stay with my sister (yes, that sister)... move to Dunstable at the end of August. Anyone live around there? More importantly, any meets around there? And does it come under 'East' or 'Midlands' in events, seems to be a bit border-ish!
