We went on a Uni Field trip there in 1991. Don’t remember the factory much but never forgotten the Frog and Parrot pub

Right....did you have the "over and out".......they only serve it in one third of a pint as its 17% alcohol beer (i think its 12) and if you have one you get a certificate. I used to take the Americans when they came over...Never had one myself as I was usually driving and if not, that pub is on the standard real ale pub crawl at about No5 so by that time I had already had enough without dropping a 17%.
To be honest I was told its not very nice, more like a Barley Wine than a beer

I can’t remember what it was called but that’s the reason we went, don’t know about the certificate, we may have got one. Don’t really remember much from that night

never been to ikea never intend to or get any of there gear
It's an experience to behold , I thought like you .. but actually went there one very wet cold windy day whilst on holiday with our caravan . I got my outlander charged for free & had a decent quality feed for not a lot of money .
Went through the minefield of goods .. happened to pick up several , " I've been looking for that for ages " purchases . Found we'd been lost to the world for nearly three hours by the time we got back to the car .
Next time I venture forth from the cave and cross the tundra I'll head there for lunch again , the quality & range of the food available far outweighs the presence of Wayne's , Wanetta's & their accompanying irritants in the store as most who won't visit the eatery in any case for they serve healthy food , veg & fruit .

They are good batteries....
I am returning as I've decided to redo my boys room with a high sleeper bed, all started because I couldnt squeeze a desk in for his Rasberry Pi I've bought him for christmas

Nothing exciting in there Parm, just the foot operated air/hydraulic pump to go with the bead buster I bought for knocking off tractor tyres.

I acquired, a nice laptop...
Or rather, a new motherboard for my nice laptop. I got it in February with a years "Premium onsite service".
Friday night I was programming an Arduino and a stepper motor, it must have squirted some back EMF down the USB and into the laptop. Screen went black and an LED displayed a "CPU failure" fault code. A bit of poo came out.
Booked a repair with Dell, Monday they booked an engineer, today he came out and replaced the motherboard, no questions asked, no money spent, no data lost.
I think I'll be extending that warranty, not sure what it will cost but a motherboard with an i7 and a 1050ti soldered to it will be more.
Oh, and I'll be unplugging the USB before running the stepper next time.

The high sleeper bed we had for our kids was brill , even I could sit up right in the under bed area at his computer desk with ease , my son was able to sit upright in his bed ..all six foot two of him & still had space above his head for a small shelf & bed light .a raspberry pi is only about 4in square - how big a desk would it need?
The high sleeper we had for my daughter was a high captains cabin bed with another bed under hers , ( so she could have girly sleep overs ).
They were one of the best purchases we've made , as at the time we lived in a pokey three bed place where the kids rooms were 9 x 9 foot square .

To day I acquired satisfaction regarding the hit and run damage to my parked van. The person caught on my neighbours cameras told the police he would stop by to see us and make amends. Fair enough, he followed me to an auto body shop I trust for a price to do the repairs, and this afternoon came by, paid us the cash amount quoted and gave my Wife a bottle of wine for our inconvenience.
Years ago I would have caused the person as much grief as possible, but now at my age I just want things sorted in the easiest way possible; and without emotion. The guy apologised profusely, and after seeing the indisputable video evidence was more than happy to accept responsibility.
Happy Day.

Be aware that the insurers might kick up stink if they find out because you have not declared the incident nor the repair ...............….usually you have to for all insurable incidents for it affects their levels of risks.
Ie
Did you park or normally park in a place that is considered a high risk place such as on a bend in the road etc.
They frown upon private settlements and look up on such things aa deliberate fraud by both parties , for boot being on the other foot they might be unknowingly insuring a serial hit & run drugged up / drunk , unsafe to drive nutter who has a lot of money .
