Right can of worms stuff here The cover has come off and is lying along the street. I’ll pick it up and have a nosey later. The labels inside next to the wires say (I think), Pipe, Anode, Coupon, Ref Cell. I’m thinking it’s some kind of corrosion protection for some buried pipe or something. truth be told, f**k knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a lump of zinc, commonly used as a sacrificial anode, still in use as protection for modern gas fired water heaters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you investigate further can I just check that your Life Assurance policy is fully up to date, that Mrs Mullarkey is the sole beneficiary, and she'll be looking for a new husband before the sausage rolls at the wake have gone cold? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 How busy does Edinburgh airport get first thing on a Monday morning? My flight to Doha is at 8am and I'm wondering whether I need to be there the standard 3 hrs before, or whether 2 hrs would be fine? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd reckon two would be plenty, although you could turn up four hours before and you'll still not get a seat in Spoons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure you ask if the wheel nuts are tightened before you take off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prepare to have your mind blown but no one in Australia drinks Fosters. I don't think I've ever seen it on sale anywhere. Its why that tv advert for Fosters Shandy is an international incident waiting to happen. I've also never heard anyone in Australia refer to denim shorts as Jorts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t seen Fosters in a bottle shop since a few years before Covid and it was stocked infrequently and almost always discounted as nobody bought it. Like you never heard of jorts but the Kiwis call thongs jandals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why XXXX is so popular. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never heard anyone say it out loud either but there’s a local brewery does a hazy called Juice Pants and then did one with a slightly different hop bill called Juice Jorts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
