Some distributors sell them as "brake feeder pipes".



Another one is "lawyer lips". Anyone care to guess ...

Been losing the ability to speak quite rapidly over the past 36hrs. Read this morning that omicron needs a proper deep throat swab so did one having been negative on 2x lateral flows already.

Also negative, that's a SMOTD

moving into my new room

walls and ceilings ripped back to bare timber then RW6 insulated then a secret layer for soundproofing then proper soundboard plasterboard. skim of plaster. the difference in temperature is amazing.

its taken me since september to finish. the works dont sound much but when your doing the bulk of the work (apart from sheeting/plastering) yourself its a fair old amount. plus the mate thats been giving me a hand can only do it occasionally.

Sometimes, many times, I wonder if MPs are from the same planet.

I suppose we can take comfort in that they have fixed the country's problems and they now have the time to turn their attention to this important subject.

(yes, MP bashing returns for a new season )

It is still played, every night after the shipping forecast. This was part of the reason behind my comment.

Not that I listen to it. If the radio is on when it starts, the off button is clouted immediately.
