Why would you want to remove the door to the shitter?

It's been changed to a white door that opens inwards.

And the little room has been made bigger to accomodate the new door, it may as well have drawn a huge room in a mansion and been almost as realistic.

And the loo has moved closer to the wall.

Maybe not?

I grown used to articles of my clothing disappearing into the Gremlinette's wardrobe. Nice t-shirts, one of my nice white shirts, countless pairs of trainer socks...

But at the weekend I had to draw a line in the sand when she held up a pair of my camouflage pattern Saxx underpants and declared that they would look really cool with her low-cut jeans.

No. Just no!

Pictures, I demand pictures.

You or her, I'm not fussy.

Will Gremlin fit in the low cut jeans?

If I knew then, what I know now...

Front left tire pressure sensor crapped out. Thought it was covered under warranty.. turns out there's a $100 deductible.
Which wasn't mentioned until after they'd done the work... Fuckers...
Got home & looked up the part on line... $34 for a set of 4 on Ebay... provided they're bought for an F150, not an ST. No idea why the hell they cost more for an ST, they're the same part #

Local American Tire will dismount a tire, swap out the sensor, remount & balance it for $22... (just had two valve stems replaced on my '96 F350 inner duals) so it COULD have been a $30.50 repair. At least I'll know when the next one shits the bed.

Service writer at the Ford dealer mentioned they have someone else's Explorer in to have two replaced. Total cost: $382.00.
My suggestion that he call the woman, mention EBay for sensors & American Tire for the work wasn't well received.

Leerdammer cheese, bloody dreadful stuff, right up there with American cheese in its plasticyness

You could have just said 'Dutch cheese' - Edam, Gouda, Jarlsberg etc etc.

But, I suspect, the standard supermarket versions we get here aren't necessarily the best examples of the products. It's hard to imagine Edam being anything other than a slab of vaguely cheeselike hobbyists material though.

Which cheese is made backwards?

Not so, I quite like a slice of Edam on a burger, it has good melting properties on the BBQ and a reasonable taste, but the supermakert were all out so I picked up the Leerdammer, never again, and I was only looking for Edam after running out of Emmental which is even better on the barbie.

Supermarkets do sell 'proper' Gouda which actually tastes of something TBF.

Same with holey Swiss cheese, the decent stuff is nice.

S'a bit like judging Cheddar off the back of Tesco Value mild cheddar like substance.

Yeah, I wasn't clear with 'the standard supermarket stuff we get here' - makes it sound like that's all you can get in the UK. I have had some quite tasty Gouda and Emmenthal from a cheesemonger*. Only ever buy Comte and Manchego in the supermarket really.

As for on a burger, Dairylea 'cheese' slices will do.

* There was (think it's still there) a deli in Petworth with an actual cheese room - all climate controlled n' everything.

Hungry Guest deli. Not sure what's happening with the HG lot though. Their butcher, by the car park, seemed to come - and go. The café moved, their fishmonger has been closed for ages...

However, the cheese counter in the Cowdray farm shop at Midhurst is pretty They used to stock Hungry Guest bread too but that's changed as well.

My Dutch neighbours often heard me moan about the bland nature of their nations cheeses.
They brought me as a gift some 'old Amsterdam' which I must admit does possess a certain amount of flavour and texture.

Looks like the butchers is back, the bakery is still going and the cheese room is still extant.

There's a restaurant in Rome that has two cheese trolleys, one for blue cheeses and the other for the rest. It also specialised in offal dishes. It was a good feed.

BBC: treating the general public like buffoons again

Scene: bloke in white lab coat, professor of burning stuff. Dry grass/wheat/stuff burns faster than damp stuff! Well fuck me sideways. Never knew that. Beeb reporter standing in bone dry field. Don't light disposable BBQ here. It may cause a fire.

I do accept and appreciate that there are some dumb as shit people, but address these directly, not the 99% of the population who aren't.

Have a specific news section for the thick, stupid and feckless.

BBC definitely boil my piss.

Oh and dear RTTL , remember to drink lots of water and stay out of the sun when the temperature exceeds 20 degrees Celsius.

Drink lots of beer and sit in the sunshine, got it!
