No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...

As the advertising slogan for their service says, "Don't cook, just eat"... :D

(Other takeaway services are available depending on your local area, can't be giving them free advertising after all, even if I do use their site!!)

If all else fails, try a ham & cheese sarnie (cheap, quick & satisfying -> Boy Scout = "always be prepared" with something in the fridge/freezer:))

We always keep a lot of "backup stuff" in the freezers (2 of them, and 2 fridges as well!) - can always find something fairly decent to eat as I buy quite a lot of clearance "sell today" stuff and stick it in the big freezer (main backup, so that's where we put a lot of stuff when it's cheap - like pizzas at half-price every few weeks at TESCO!) for when we need something quick. "Backup" is not only good for computers, but also for a quick "just eat" when "duty (or the stomach!) calls".

Even though just eat is convenient, I don't get that 50p card charge, what's that all about they must be making on that?

The card charge is just eat billing your card. Much safer than the takeaway swiping your card (while cloning it)

Cash is King! - we have a fairly local (like 5 miles away - In London that's actually a long way away - but the food is better than the ones much nearer) Indian place that is part of Just Eat, but we pay c.o.d. and so no card charges.

I just had a thought,

A midget fortune teller, who kills his customers, is a small medium at large.

Deep Purple, Pink Floyd and more in an hour on WDR Koln. Archive footage from a festival in 1969 and 1970.

Should be good, almost 4 hours of fun.

I think this thread has run out of time...
You could be right - where did 2016 go because I can't remember if it "happened" at all!

2017 is where we are now, or are we in 2018 already (if we are still here at all? :eek:) ?:rolleyes:
