QVC DIY on Sunday (accidents waiting to happen)

[dobbslc]

^^^ you do know we can taste the difference.

hope nobody follows this example shown this morning, I guess the "brew room" is the best place to put repairing a cup........

View attachment 102264

but really, would you pay £20 for some superglue to stick the handle back on to a cup, wait until someone gets a scalded lap from the handle coming off again....

.....throw the cup away and get another one from the pound shop, its the sensible option.

They should have warnings telling people not to try this at home

watching QVC, you really have too much free time on your hands, find a hobby or spend more time on the one you have ,those idiots could manage to spend an hour talking about a mig tip

I knew I'd got a picture somewhere, my dad behind the counter at the cafe about 1964...

Now that's a coffee machine!
Apparently, Mr. Perrin of Lea and Perrin's once gave a cabbie a good tip. When you're running low on Worcester sauce, top it up with vinegar, no-one will notice!

yeah I know its years since I've watched it, but watched it today out of boredom as I havnt been able to play in my garage as I've been fighting off coughs and colds for the past 3 weeks.

many years ago Ant and Dec used to do a parody of QVC on SMTV, but they called it QVC - the car boot channel, which just about sums it up.

I never realised how cheap the pressurised grit blasters were

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130427874115

so Im looking at getting one,but previously I've used temporary greenhouses to stop the grit getting everywhere, but they take too long to put up and take down for my liking

so today I've found pop up green houses on the net today

https://www.brooklyntrading.co.uk/f...-53183435203&gclid=COT-pI79-NECFYeT7Qod9ysEdw

which work the same way as pop up tents. but annoyingly it looks like you could buy them for £25 a couple of years ago in clearance sales as B & Q instead of the £100 that one is now.

see how easily distracted I am

Rummage shop.
£2 buys 10 mix matched workshop mugs. Mrs TYA does not let me have decent mugs in play pen.
Over at the big play pen we have gone posh. We brought 6 cheep mugs from Wilko for £6.

Simple answers.

I have an enamelled tin mug I've had it for many years, its been dropped left outside on the wall lost and found many times. The only drawback is you can't put in the microwave to warm it up.

Wow they are posh.

No plain white mugs.

When my parents ran a cafe they would buy cheap "no name" sauce by the gallon from the wholesales, then thin it with a bit of vinegar before putting it into the Heinz & HP bottles that went on the tables

theres something nice about tomato sauce thinned with vinegar its a unique taste

Cuppas always taste like crap when microwaved, so no sad loss. As bad as thermos cuppas.

 

[MattF]

Regarding the original post, was it basically superglue and bicarb they were flogging? Just guessing, from that image.

I've got a stainless flask I use for out walking, always fill it with just hot water & take teabags & milk separate. You can then take coffee or Cup-a-Sick & have what you want.

that's the best way I only drink coffee out of them as that's least foul

My grand daughter insisted our 17p Aldi lemonade was rubbish and could she please have the £1.29 Shweppes stuff instead, cue months of arguing until I gave in and bought a bottle of Schweppes for her.

For the last 7 months that bottle has been refilled with the Aldi stuff and all going well, I will tell her one day, I just love the ability to have a smug grin as she happily drinks her pop

 

[rtbcomp]

^^ I think you missed a trick there, you should have said if she wants Schweppes she should pay the difference.

You're a very BAD man! I like it though - how long do you think you'll keep it going? Bet she doesn't believe you.....
