Checked today and according to the shop it has been dispatched, but in a 30,000 package backlog in the courier's Edinburgh distribution hub. See if you can pick yours out of the backlog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it just one, or did you order two lights from Amsterdam? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point it fell on its side and 4/5 of it has spilled out. The boot and the back seats are soaking, and it smells awful. Was convinced that was going to be a maths problem there. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Far from petty really, but Virgin Money not letting me sign in online without downloading an app that doesn't allow me to type anything into the 'enter username' data entry box. Basic, basic function, Shirley? Changing the app settings / permissions makes absolutely f*** all difference. Anyway, what if I'm somewhere where my mobile can't receive calls (e.g. working offshore), which seems to be the only option. At least my personal bank has an alternative option route. I suppose I could always phone their support team who... oh, wait. It's after 6pm when evidently nobody needs money, so all the lines are closed. Absolute tinpot outfit, but maybe that's what one gets when you end with a bank that flies planes. F*** you Branson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Have just got an air fryer and have been looking on YouTube, Instagram and tiktok for recipe ideas. I will not follow anyone who quotes the temperature used in Fahrenheit only. Stop living in the dark ages and give a Celsius conversion for those in the other 190-odd countries in the world.

Never mind recipes, just stick some sausages in there. Lovely, especially Asda ones for some reason. 10 minutes, caramelised gorgeousness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about ASDA ones, we normally get Buffalo Farm ones from the local shop, absolutely superb. Also pakora, scampi, steak pies (if they fit in) or anything of that ilk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the 2nd thing I made, a pack of Aldi "Finest" (or whatever) Caramelised Onion Pork Sausages. 200°C, 5 minutes, turned them over and another 4 minutes. Sliced down in the middle, bread, butter and HP Sauce. Lovely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
