    Yep, looking forward to that again this year. Must buy myself some extra heat mats for the connections to the mains.

    I have one of those myself already. I would recommend a hard plastic option instead. A much better job all together

    Cool. Last year my missus has a medical condition where using the toilet was a massive frequency for her and the lack of water didn't help. Although our neighbours had water and we are in debt to them for the simple allowance of handing the hose over the wall connected to their outside tap. We connected it to our outside tap and turned on both taps. The pressure from their house refilled our attic taps and we were able to do a wash and wash dishes etc. :D

    Isn't it mad. Although the US was the original mapping and the cameras they used were pretty crap unless Rhode Island has been recently done. With a good Internet connection you can do routing touring easily and the rendering actualy managed to keep up. Pretty cool stuff.

    I couldn't decide between the 308 and the 308a. Went for the 308. I think I made the choice.

    Rhode Island is still pretty crap with poor street view but its good enough so that i can locate routes to the essentials before i head over.

    It was promising to begin with. But it went off in a whole different direction in the end.

    No, seriously though - I doubt the Dub Hardware chains have some of the more odd and obscure Co-op treats like Tail Paint?

    AI-tail%20paint.jpg

    - Just discovered this only yesterday in the local Co-op and the possibilites are endless, Saturday nights will never be the same again :eek:







    P.S. I do NOT own Tail Paint!!!
