Re: Dyeing your own clothes...specifically wool/polyester blends

I think, given that the original question was over twelve years ago, that it's time we had a progress report from The Lobster.

Surely the suit hasn't been in the bowl of dye all these years?

Re: Windows 9 is now Windows 10

Just to be clear, I HAVEN'T got Auto Launch Search Bar ticked but it comes back every time I load Edge.

I know how to close the damn thing, I just want to get rid of it FOR EVER.

Re: Windows 9 is now Windows 10

In Microsoft's never ending quest to push the twin dead ducks of Bing and Edge, they are now rolling out an update which puts a floating Bing-powered Edge search bar on the desktop. And how the heck do you switch it off? I've tried Googling but all I get is ways of switching other things on and off...

Yes. The guy just tucked it under the handset and went away.

I'm amazed that anyone, except single person households who drink little milk, buy it by the pint any more.

As you say, a pint bottle is 90p, but a six pint bottle is £2.30, or less than 39p a pint.

All mine are getting accepted.

Perhaps mine are of a higher standard than yours?

The nice thing about Leigh Delamere is that, if you know the local lanes, you don't need to drive on the motorway to visit; you can get in the back gate.

Is this the case with other services, I wonder? Over to people who live close by.
