    Too many serious threads here tonight, let's shake this up.

    I have five liters of orange juice, three litres of milk, two things of butter, cheese, ham, yoghurts, rice puddings, tomatoes (yeah, bite me), grapes, mayonnaise, black and white pudding and orange squash in mine.

    What's in yours?

    Ah yes. The good old Irish 'thing of butter'. Metric? Pah! Imperial? G'wan away with ye. We measure in things around these parts.

    Half a thing is a yoke. Ten dollops to a yoke.

    From the early 90s actually, it was my Dad's fridge before me, and i hope to pass it on to a young Backwardsperson some day, it's a grand height for under the cereal unit, most modern ones are too tall.

    You ever get country butter in a thatched house with no running water and one pot they did everything in when you were out gathering spuds as a wee fella?

    Put you off the real thing for life

    My landline delivers me 50/20mbit broadband, so yeah, it's handy that way.

    Also, integrated appliances are grand til they need repairs. Freestanding appliances are handier to pull out and fix/replace!

    Not all of us have cable broadband or whatever, some of us rely on ADSL (or VDSL for the lucky ones, like me).

    I've a Utility Room too for the washing machine and dryer, but the dishwasher is in the kitchen for convenience. :)

    You keep a tidy home, has to be said.

    My place would only ever get the feng shui treatment if I was expecting visitors, or was planning on hitting Copper Face Jacks.
