    My wife and I pool our money into a joint account, but keep a little personal money in our own accounts. Sounds trivial, but that way it feels we’re not buying our own birthday presents etc.

    I’ve watched Alan Partridge sing that several times and never knew what it meant.

    DVD flick is great. Converts multiple formats to DVD and you can even specify how many chapters to make etc.

    Even if your velocity stays the same, you are still accelerating.

    Yeah, but you’re not accelerating uphill!

    Aha, so no simple answer. Thinking about a job in Sweden, where taxes are huge…

    FWIW Marks & Spencer Espresso is my favourite of all Espresso (including Illy etc), but I don’t know what their cafetiere coffee is like.

    You can get some pretty decent disposables. If you can’t use a disposable safely you probably shouldn’t be allowed sharp cutlery either. 😆

    That’s a lot of hand-waving.

    Anyway, thank for the advice all. I suspect we will end up keeping them. Lesson learnt! Anticipate the effect of the thicker lens on the aesthetics of the glasses…

    Shame it costs ~£150 to learn it though 😐

    She tried the glasses on whilst wearing contact lenses. What I meant was:

    Frames + Non Prescription Lenses = Looks nice
    Frames + Strong Precription Lenses = Looks very different (not nice)

    Does that make sense now? She could see throughout the whole process.

    If we could have tried them on with prescription lenses (sadly not possible), we would have chosen smaller frames.

    Well, the issue is that the glasses were tried on with zero magnification lenses. With the higher magnification lenses she has to wear the frames look totally different – and worse. There is nothing functionally wrong with them however and they are totally fit-for-purpose.

    If the lenses could be cut down to another frame that might be OK too – the problem here seems to be that the lenses/frame are too big/wide. Should I give them a ring?

    I did actually read that. The only applicable part in this case seems to refer to to on-line purchases (distance selling regulations/cooling off etc.), so I don’t think it applies here 😥

    Anyway, aren’t we missing the point?!? Wind turbines are rubbish because of something some guy said down the pub, and a bunch of dubious cherry-picked reports. Instead we should be using other forms of renewable energy that haven’t got past development instead.

    Density will definitely matter w.r.t wind resistance – the kinetic energy of a body of air will be proportional to its density.

    You asked for chinese ones.

    Thanks guys, useful. Although I doubt hell be bothered with going second hand (even if it would be the best thing).

    And my views on John Terry (as a man) would probably get me banned.

    American, Mexican or Japanese Tele? Could have a bearing on what you do with it.

    Green and Blacks isn’t very good IMO, but you don’t need to spend loads of money on ‘artisan’ chocolate with pretentious marketing to get the good stuff either. Lots of supermarkets have decent quality stuff, including M&S, who even have varietal chocolate.

    Twirls are Flakes for the anally retentive. I should know, my wife loves them but refuses flakes on the grounds of ‘too messy’. 🙄

    After Green and Blacks cherry all chocolate is disappointing to me now!

    Heathen, I bet you like cheese with fruit in too.

    Shame the coating on Tunnocks Wafers tastes nothing like chocolate though.

    How bizarre! I had a picnic only five minutes ago, and nearly slit my wrists with disappointment as it had slightly less raisins than I remember. Thank god I had a fat nurse to fall back on – I didn’t even get a bruise.
