important poll time:

which bin liner is the best? (my answer spoilered below)



it's tie handles. It's OBVIOUSLY tie handles, nobody ever wants any of the other loving types, they exist purely to deceive exhausted shoppers who've already been in Tesco for 2 hours and just want to go home. If I see the drawstring picture I'm thinking "oh good it's the normal ones that tie at the top" and then NO it's the fuckers that fall to pieces if there's more than a single bit of old cheese in there; if I read "tie top" I think "oh good it's the normal ones that tie at the top and then no it's the ones with useless flappy bits that get covered in manky bin juice. gently caress off gently caress OFF with your shitey non-tie handle bin bags

(flush top doesn't even warrant a mention, I mean come on)

this has been my bin bag meltdown thank you for coming

Question for DIY goons, we had a power socket replaced which went due to damp, and we've also since had the damp dealt with and the plastering replaced. The electrician wired up the power socket, but left it sticking out with a plastic guard in case the damp got it again before the plasterers could come in:



He said that once the plastering was done the guard could be removed (being careful of the plaster obvs) and the socket pushed straight back into place and screwed in, is that something I could do or should I leave it to a professional? It doesn't sound that difficult, but I'd better be sure first.

The beer engine was invented by the same man who invented the the machine that prints sequential numbers on bank notes and the modern toilet flush mechanism. He defined the entire workflow for a long sesh, and should be on the £50 note instead of Turing IMO.

(It is actually a little weird how Joseph Bramah isn't up in the pantheon of Victorian Engineers, because a lot of his stuff is still in use to this day and he basically invented quality control as we understand it, but I guess we always prefer a magnificent failure to clever but dull, e.g. the current PM)

it's just a plastic safetyshield to stop crap getting into the backbox. turn the circuit off, take all the wires out of the back of the socket, take the shield off and bin it, then put the wires back into the terminals and screw the socket plate into the backbox.

e: some of them you can snap off along a seam on one side without having to turn anything off or do anything with the terminals.

I like tie tops if the bag is strong enough, they tie up the bag tighter.

First against the wall etc.

If you don't fill a drawstring all the way up to the brim you can pull it closed then use the string to tie the "neck" under the closure and it works really well.

Always buy the most expensive bin bags you can afford. The saved £ is nothing compared to maggots/bin juice or a trash evisceration in the kitchen.

Schools and parents can improve the social mobility of disadvantaged children by restricting access to smartphones, the chair of the government’s social mobility commission has said.

Katharine Birbalsingh told the Association of School and College Leaders annual conference: “If we genuinely want things to be fairer, and we want our disadvantaged children to be socially mobile, the best thing I can do for them is getting them not to have a smartphone.”

Birbalsingh described how her school – Michaela community school in London – encouraged pupils to hand in their mobile phones and video devices to the school for safekeeping in a “digital detox” programme.

Nobody needs golf leaf encrusted raspberry scented bin bags. Definitely never get the cheapest bin liner OR tin foil.

Do you by chance shop at Fortnum & Mason or Harrods comrade?

I get not skimping on the bin bags but why not cheap foil? There's the fancy non-stick stuff but if it's just to protect a baking tray any cheap poo poo works just as well when covered in oil.
