What bemused you today?

My spam has gone down - between 10 and 30 a day are trapped at my host, and another 5 or 6 a day. Used to be 100 a day being trapped and another 20 or so by Outlook.

Worse I had was over 1000 a day

I'm unlucky if I get one a month.

Just heard a report on the ITV news about a woman who phoned 999 because her snowman was stolen - more on the 10'clock news apparently

I'm going to have one of those "I'm not judgmental, but." moments.

Oxygen theif springs to mind

I don't know if this has been a popular DIY reno in Britain, but here in N.A. hard wood flooring has been. I don't think I'm exaggerating that there's been millions of renos done. I've done my whole house now. What's bemused me? Googled for projects/jobs I could do with the left over wood. I got 3 hits, 3! One of the suggestions was to burn it. I'm thinking there's millions of people like me, staring at a pile of leftover hardwood flooring going "there must be something I can use it for".

"there must be something I can use it for".

Yep there is, cut it to make frames for your photos, what better way to cut down on the cost of framing some prints....get them into local galleries as framed prints, nice xmas prezzies for friends and family.....if any of the planks are big enough make some nice little (or big) boxes again for gifts....I am of course assuming that you are talking about proper hardwood flooring i.e. left over planks etc and not what us brits call hard flooring which is MDF/Fibreboard/Chipboard which is then "laminated) (not sure what you call it in Canada) we have real hardwood flooring as well but over here it costs a bomb....

WBMT driving along the M4 Westbound just came over the Chiswick Flyover heading towards Heston and up ahead was the old flashing blue lights....some numpty on a MOPED with L Plates driving on the motorway the boys in blue had pulled him over and I am guessing after lots of talking to and fines/points etc they would then have had to escort him off the motorway......what an I D I O T

WBMT?

driving along the M25 on the section littered with variable speed limits.

Speed limits set at 40mph, with other signs interspersed saying "Fog - Slow Down"

If they think 40mph is too fast, why not just drop the speed d limit instead of confusing us - we are after all only ordinary road users!

Yes, it is indeed real hardwood 3/4 in. and no, doesn't cost a bomb. I live in the land of endless forests afterall (well not where I live specifically). Picture frames, there's an idea.    I'll have to find a routing pattern for the daddo steps. And we have the other it's called a laminated 'floating' floor here. Popular for flooring in basements.

And  had somebody come along in say, tractor trailer and run over his sorry a** it'd be the poor truck driver being blamed.
