But it's ok when immigrants take control of continents, erase the native population and convert societies to Christianity? Especially in a country founded on religious freedom and the concept of separation of church and state?

1975 & 1976 still fresh in my memory!

I have a shedload of remotes for devices I don't own. I may have owned them once upon a time, but when they went to the big Lounge in the Sky, the remotes stayed earthbound.

It's OK. Most people won't notice.

I have to unify 2 different systems first, then the heat pump.

Now that I'm actually getting paid for exporting, and understand how to manage the battery, I should be able to generate enough over the summer to stay in credit. I was paying £110 prior to having the panels fitted.
I won't be ditching the gas until I can sort out the heating system properly.

That's not Cornwall, it's Northants. We have to keep it quiet or else we'd be overrun with visitors and have to hike up the tourist tax.

Still trying to connect various devices to the new WiFi. My Octopus Mini is holding out and will not budge at all. I think the only reason my solar datalogger finally reconnected was that I promised my firstborn to some evil entity (who's too dumb to notice I'll never have a firstborn!).

Took them long enough to work out he's not a nice person.

These are all waxworks, right? The one on the left directly behind the Grinning Idiot looks like a badly done Michael Jackson.

That's a great day out for adults as well. A Usenet group I belonged to many years ago did similar outings to different places. Hugely enjoyable and very educational.

Was the snooker interrupted by the SAS storming an embassy (not Embassy).

I don't open the curtains on days when I'm at work. In the summer it keeps the place cool and in the winter it holds the heat in.

Oh, yes! That would have suited Grandpa!

Which part of that was grilled? The USian concept of "grilled cheese" is anything but!

It's either the reflection of the bath towel or Radix crystals!

My parents sold the house where I grew up with an unheated bathroom in 2000!
My current house only got heating in the bathroom in 2004. I'm currently considering underfloor heating when I can afford a refit.

I've been working my way through the Jack Reacher books this summer. Only a few left. Absolutely amazing that I can borrow them all from the library and listen on the way to and from work (in the same building as the library).
