The_Kincardine Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Does a spoonful of sugar REALLY help the medicine go down? In the most delightful way. Edited to add: Unless it's a suppository in which case a pinch of cayenne helps the medicine go up Edited August 18, 2014 by The_Kincardine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hotpoint are now the same company/bits. Ariston was the better 'brand' of Merloni, the cheapo shoite being Indesit. Hotpoint are now the cheaper shoite of the lot after Merloni bought them over 15 odd years ago. That vintage of Ariston will either work or not, and for the price, take it. There are very few manufacturers now, who all stick another brand label on it according to quality and price. Cheap price, crap quality. In the old days companies tried to compete on both. Took a 30 year old microwave to a repair shop in Inverness for a minor repair. They said it was better than all but the very most expensive models made today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it will lose power year on year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 My car went in for a routine service and now it gets no signal on the radio for MW. It's a Sony CDX-GT300 stereo if that makes any difference, I'm completely clueless about this stuff. Anyone know possible reasons? Still get reception on everything but MW. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just open your windows and turn the heating up full blast. Give it a few mins and it'll be right as rain 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today was the last day of MW transmissions due to the government auction of frequencies, you can still get the channels online or on DAB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 A group of us (8-10) are planning on going for a meal together on Saturday afternoon in Edinburgh. Any recommendations out with the usual places (Nando's etc)? Already suggested KFC but was told to f**k off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev23 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 When is the best time to sleep after a nightshift? Just finished at 7 there and unsure whether to sleep now or later. I'm tired enough to sleep but I wouldn't normally come home from work then sleep straight away if I was working during the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my (limited) experience, the best time to sleep is not after but during. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tired enough to sleep but I wouldn't normally come home from work then sleep straight away if I was working during the day. I used go to bed at 9am an hour after finishing & wake up about 4pm, to start at midnight. day just felt like dayshift but switched working/sleeping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I work nights 1900-0730 and best trying to sleep as you would a day shift although depends how many you are doing. I normally stay up to around 0300 the night before to start to turn around my clock, then sleep from around after my nightshift till tea time. Coming off night shift is worse in my opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post-nights insomnia is brutal. You can finish your nightshift, have a sleep and not sleep all that night. OR, you could finish your nightshift, keep yourself awake all day and go to bed at your normal time and still not sleep all that night. b*****d. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 If I'm on nights, I work 18.00-06.00. I usually go to bed about 9 and wake about 3 in the afternoon. 6 hours solid kip, which is about the same I get when I'm on days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurph Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 When I'm on nights I work 21:30-07:00. I'm normally home for around 8 and either go to bed straight away or just faff about for half an hour before sleeping. I don't know how people can stay up to around 10/11 before going to sleep. I'm lucky I don't fall asleep on the bus most of the time. I usually wake up at around 3/4, so like SlipperyP said, just substituting normal working hours for sleeping hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
