Quote from: Trainfish on December 31, 2025, 12:14:03 PMFull of stinking cold here so probably not going out tonight even though we planned to. It won't stop me drinking though as I have plenty of stock after having another 24 cans delivered by Beak brewery yesterday  :beers:

Mrs Trainfish says honey is good for colds. Looking in the cupboard I think I have just stumbled on the answer to my ills:

I sympathise with your freezer problems. We have had the same, twice, necessitating a panic ride down to Hove with the freezer contents in the boot to put into stepson #1's chest freezer. (which he has now got rid of, so God knows what we'll do next time...)

Quote from: Bob G on December 31, 2025, 11:38:05 AMSo on 27 Dec we contact Domestic & General who insure the item.
We complete an on line form and book a visit from a local electrician for 30 Dec.
Local = he lives in Leicester. We live 20 miles from Leicester.
He doesn't turn up. Doesn't answer the phone. Doesn't respond to emails.

Today (31/12) we try to contact D&G. You can only do this by their website.
We can't book a new appointment as the old one hasn't been signed off.
They have not returned our complaint.
They continue to take our monthly insurance fee.


I agree - D&G aren't worth the money. The only time we have tried to claim for a failed cooker they didn't offer us cash. They only offered us a replacement cooker of inferior quality, take it or leave it. We left it, and them. We've saved ourselves a fortune in premiums since then.

Hope you get it sorted soon.

Cheers,

Chris

Quote from: Bob G on December 31, 2025, 12:33:29 PM.......... got some kick ass antibiotics which have totally dried up my streaming cold, so I'm fit to party now.

Got any spare?

There isn't time to get from home to Devizes and back before I have to go out.
And in any case, you know I have to complete the course.

Also I have had to stop my statins while I take the clathyromycin so I'm in cholesterol heaven.
Bring on the sausages!

I actually had a face to face appointment with a doc yesterday (actually she was a paramedic, who diagnosed sinusitis) and got some kick ass antibiotics which have totally dried up my streaming cold, so I'm fit to party now.

And you are correct. The pub is only open to folk who are eating and partying. Basically its a restaurant with live music.
