Hippo's latest activity

Wimmins kissy ball tonight. Enjoying watching this years competition, the standard has come a long way in recent years.

Had a drive down to dottir's this morning to do a plumbering job. Tratter was rattling in the back somewhere with every bump in the road. More than the usual rattle from tools and gear jumping up and down. When I arrived there I checked the back...

After the last abortive JLR advertising, the latest attempt to get people to buy EV Evoques.

Afternoon Warm and dull Fitting new skirting boards to me hallway 😎 Tallest sunflower now at 8' 6" , starting to open flower up so I suppose it's done growing now 🤔 Think me kidney stone either parked it self or moved on somewhere, either way...

Meanwhile back at the lab.

Hmm, our posts kinda crossed, i.e. as usual I didn't read to the end of the thread. Don't you have just one window with a mossie net on? We do, so we can open just that during the night. After doing like you.

When that happens to us, we close windows and doors to the room, give it a good spraying and just wait. The poison spreads all over the room and eventually kills it. It helps if you can put a fan on as that spreads it even faster. Sympathise as W...

Cheers mate, I do hope so, typically it does involve capacitors and possibly a relay. Me gonna get me some more compilactederere soldrin kit! But yep I wired the bog standar one we talked about just two wire and it now works! So ta again!

You be surprised how small areas of water the average mozzie can breed enough. Must be fairly near neighbours or local ponds.

Only the dogs paddly pool and I emptied that last night.

Best feature I have found on me fone so far, is being able to open it on me lappy and drag me photos from the fone screen onto me lappy. Far better than the old one, where I had to load them onto an email on me fone and send it to myself then...

Bought a cover thing on flea bay for me noo fone. But it doesn't fit my phone, bought the wrong one. It's for a slightly larger version (the "plus" model). 11 sovs wasted :( . Ordered another one, taking care that it will be the correct one this...

Should get the punkawalla with the mozzie swingfog back🥴 Do you have any unnatural pools of water like containers wheelbarrow tarpaulin. With the hot clammy weather we are no different between jungles or African river banks which mozzie love.

We shut the Windows and spray a hour be for bed time seems to work 🐉

Surprise rain over nite. Still trying. Just remembered someone is coming to price up new windows fer castle ippo.

It is. The water drowns everyfing.

If as you say you have walked past loads the proof should be evident 😎

Woken by a damn mozzie at 2am, couldn't find the ickle git. I is very tasty, got four bites last time and the one on my ear(?! ) went nasty. Had to beat a retreat to the spare room. :confused:

Bin day today so last nite we did some more tree choppin. Nayber offered me the option ov jumpin the fence and choppin from is side. So over the fence eye goes. There be a pigwing inner nest in a thorny bush tree fing. Dun't know worrit tis but...

Morning All. :D Still here, still limping. :( I did go and get her a paper but it was very unpleasant walking. Have a great day! :D

Hi mate Was a huge pleasure helping out where I could That’s awesome news you’ve found a French forum that has more detailed info about those stats Hope all goes well mate and u can repair ur old ones

So, some of you may remember me trying to sort my central heating problem out here in France last year. I had a long convo with @gstuart who was very helpful and in the end I worked out how to wire in very standard, old skool, room stats to do...

So, replacing the front one stopped the engine falling out and the front wheels from falling off. Replacing the back sub frame to stop the rear wheels from falling off. Best not let Hippo see this, might upset him. He'll swear you have a tratter :p

One of your five a day then Dan.. Hope you're sorted soon

Been with LV since 1993

Front subframe, I've had the rear subframe in the garage for a few months

Queenie: Jules dear, my poor hand tired from working in that Freelander. Jules: Didn't you use gloves dear. Queenie: Tut, obviously dear, I'm not going to work without protection. Get-Er!!
