  1. I don't know if anyone remembers us from 2010, but Barry acquired us through this website. Unfortunately last Friday we had to say goodbye to this little sweetheart. Gone far too early and missing him like crazy. Would like to say a BIG thank you to this website for giving us the best, loyal, funny and most handsome boy ever, and a wonderful 13 years spent with him.

  2. Oops, try again. We had a new dish put in yesterday, and I asked if I could split the cable to use on futher teles and was told a firm NO, it would not work properly was told we would need a twin output LNB straight from the dish. Here's a good site that will explain...LNB mystery

  3. does anybody know anything about tv installation?

    When Devon went digital we couldn't get any signal on out tv's in the caravan even tho they have built in freeview. So,hubby set up a satellite dish and sky digi box for me and a free to air digi box for himself at the other end of the caravan. One lead comes from the dish but then splits to go to each tv. It works brilliantly until one of us switches on to ITV /channel 3, then it either freezes the other tv or blanks it out completely.Has anybody any ideas as to what we have done wrong and what needs to be done to fix it. Its very frustrating as i do like to watch my ITV soaps and hubby doesnt appreciate me cutting out his programmes.x

  4. Thought this might be of some use to people. June 2009 is National Vaccination Month. Participating vets will once again be providing your pets with discounted vaccinations, saving you up to £30 per pet*, as well as a free health check.

     

    * Pets need to be 18 months and over and not have been vaccinated for at least 18 months...

  5. Canesten cream. I came back from Belgium once with a bite that itched like mad, tried all creams and ice cubes to no avail, then my wife put Canesten on it and no more itching. If you think about where it's supposed to be used then a gnat bite will be no problem... :flowers:

  6. Found this on another forum, nice bit of fun, so have a go and tell us your new name,...

     

    The following is excerpted from a children's book, Captain Underpants And the Perilous Plot Professor Poopypants, by Dave Pilkey, in which the evil Professor forces everyone to assume new names...

     

    So:-

     

    1. Use the third letter of your first name to determine your New first name:

     

    a = snickle

    b = doombah

    c = goober

    d = cheesey

    e = crusty

    f = greasy

    g = dumbo

    h = farcus

    i = dorky

    j = doofus

    k = funky

    l = boobie

    m = sleezy

    n = sloopy

    o = fluffy

    p = stinky

    q = slimy

    r = dorfus

    s = snooty

    t = tootsie

    u = dipsy

    v = sneezy

    w = liver

    x = skippy

    y = dinky

    z = zippy

     

    2. Use the second letter of your last name to determine the first half of your new last name:

     

    a = dippin

    b = feather

    c = batty

    d = burger

    e = chicken

    f = barffy

    g = lizard

    h = waffle

    i = farkle

    j = monkey

    k = flippin

    l = fricken

    m = bubble

    n = rhino

    o = potty

    p = hamster

    q = buckle

    r = gizzard

    s = lickin

    t = snickle

    u = chuckle

    v = pickle

    w = hubble

    x = dingle

    y = gorilla

    z = girdl e

     

    3. Use the third letter of your last name to determine the second half of your new last name:

     

    a = butt

    b = boob

    c = face

    d = nose

    e = hump

    f = breath

    g = pants

    h = shorts

    i = lips

    j = honker

    k = head

    l = tush

    m = chunks

    n = dunkin

    o = brains

    p = biscuits

    q = toes

    r = doodle

    s = fanny

    t = sniffer

    u = sprinkles

    v = frack

    w = squirt

    x = humperdinck

    y = hiney

    z = juice

  7. A married couple in their early 60s were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant.

     

    Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table.

     

    She said, 'For being such an exemplary married couple and for being so loving to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish.'

     

    The wife answered, 'Oh, I want to travel around the world with my darling husband.'

     

    The fairy waved her magic wand and - poof! - two tickets for the Queen Mary II appeared in her hands.

     

    The husband thought for a moment: 'Well, this is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this will never come again.

     

    I'm sorry my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than me. '

     

    The wife, and the fairy, were deeply disappointed, but a wish is a wish.

     

    So the fairy waved her magic wand and poof! The husband became 92 years old.

     

    The moral of this story: Men who are ungrateful b%$£ards should remember fairies are female......

  8. We've tried everything, singing carols, putting up decorations, the Christmas tree, I even dressed up as Santa for my daughters choir :spudniksantanew: , but alas it is all in vain. The grumpy ol' humbug just sits there and doesn't want to join in...

  10. We have a dog, Smithy, and bieng a Siberian Husky his recall is not what you call 100% :rolleyes: so we have been trying various techniques for recall.

    Have tried food treats...No

    Have tried high pitched excitable name calling...No

    Have tried making yourself large approach...No, and various others, until yesterday took him out on 100ft long lead and called "Where's Barney?", he came straight back and sat by my feet ah, I hear you say Barney must be a member of the family, nope Barney is actually the name of next doors CAT!! Why he comes back for this we have no clue, but it's nice as we now have 100% recall, :biggrin: even in the back garden. If anyone can explain please let us know...

  11. Just wondering as our little Magpie, Barry, just lurves his special nest, as well as the objects seen in the picture I have also removed various other "finds" such as my daughters knickers, a pair of my socks, plastic pipe that I was still working with, various pieces of wood again that I was working with and a alot of the childrens special toys.

     

    Picture285.jpg

     

    Here is the Magpie himself, Barry, becoming very camera happy...

  12. Here he is, back home.

     

    Picture270.jpg

     

    We're still mates (I think) when we went to pick him up he came out tail awagging straight up to me and flopped down at my feet, still a bit wobbly at the mo and Noushka bieng the mum she is wouldn't stop washing him. We're gonna keep an eye on him now for the rest of the night...

  13. Took the poor old fella in this morning, hasn't a clue what about to be done to him, but went off o.k. Funny thing is that bieng a bloke I should be grimising and not wanting to do it, but I just think of how we got him (unwanted litter) and those thoughts go right out of my head, but there is one thing though, BOY I MISS HIM, and it's only been a couple of hours...
