I do have a couple of decent knives already, just nothing heavy duty. Still got half of this beautiful Crown Prince squash to chop.

I can see why a cleaver could be a good choice, bought one years ago (7in Ken Hom branded off Amazon on discount) and they are bloody great for all my veg cutting/chopping... i rarely cut meat.

As with all sharp thingies; pay attention to what you're doing. :ese:

The twitter hive mind noticed that William was seen with bruises on his neck a few days after his good friend died of a shotgun overdose to the head


The photo on the right is 13 days after the one on the left. The faded bruise remains. The neck bruise would be also around the same time that Princess Anne's husband sported a black eye.

That bruise is caused by the harness he wears when getting pegged.

I'm not sure if there's a full plumbing thread but this is a minor problem so I thought I'd ask here.

I have an heated towel rail in my bathroom that is leaking. It's a slow leak, just the occasional drip from what I can see. How do I fix it?



The leak is coming, from what I can tell, from the thick horizontal cylinder pointing into the center of the radiator.

This will be my first time doing any plumbing so step by step instructions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Not a plumber unfortunately: if that horizontal piece unscrews you might try some PTFE tape (plumbers tape) on the threads and screw it on again (apply tape in a clockwise direction).

edit: my limited knowledge doesn't cover domestic plumbing. :(

So much of Shakespeare is dependent on understanding 16th century English, 16th century culture and 16th century current events that I sometimes think it's hardly worth bothering with unless you're an expert, as otherwise most of it's flying straight over your head.

It's also that he's one of the wealthiest humans on the planet with an insane array of medical science at his beck and call who could absolutely stop it if he wanted to.

This is not like a normal person being told to eat better and exercise more, he has the money and influence to hire a dozen experts and chefs to sort those things out for him. He could spend 10 minutes a day in a private gym made entirely for him, and have a team of chefs slap a plate of healthy food on the table afterwards and this would all go away.

But instead he bangs on about homeopathy and crystals and eats grouse four times a day.

On the whole pretty strict. Slightly more leeway on a non-full flight but not much.
I have an exact ryanair-sized 20l bag. My backpack which I would prefer to use (as the ryanair-sized one doesn't have back straps & hurts my shoulder to carry) is also 20l but is the wrong shape to fit in their gauge at the airport.
I have seen people take 20l backpacks on though. I guess I'm just not willing to risk an additional cost more than the price of the ticket if they decide to be fussy one day.
(I do try to travel with just 20L now though! The days of the 18kg suitcase - most of the contents of which are never used - are gone. Holidays get planned round laundrettes! The only place I couldn't find a laundrette was Luxembourg.).

Think it was mentioned on the BBC site that Ryanair was reducing the size of the carry on baggage... i didn't pay any attention to it but you may want to check.
