Auntie Beeb says 20°C here in North East Oxfordshire too so bedroom clock is more trustworthy than kitchen clock. Which is probably just as well.
Still, sitting in the garden drinking beer and reading the paper in the sun is ace.
Although now there's only 3° between them and I don't know what to believe anymore.
Have you put them both in direct sunlight?

Yes. That probably hasn't helped!

That'll explain it
Next up in misleading domestic appliance news: why does the '30 minute quickwash' function on my washing machine always take longer?
Maybe they used a poorly calibrated cheap clock/timer. We have a Panasonic microwave with a clock that gains about 10 minutes per month.

My guess: it’s an estimate, because the cycle uses sensor feedback, it’s not a fixed programme. For example it’ll vary with input water temperature. Some dishwashers have variable length rinse cycles that use optical cleanliness sensors mounted in the drain pipe; maybe some washing machines are similar. Doctor Glyndwr wrote:

Trying to parse this sentence makes me feel like I'm having a stroke.
I mean, it's only one word he mistyped 
No mention of what'll happen to the dog...

I didn't even notice that it said 'posting the leaflet through the door' nor that I had typed 'doesn't' not 'doing' man it's too early for this shit.

Yeah, totally, it's just interesting how much a single word can screw up my brain's ability to read something. I also realise my tone in that post made it look like I was having a go but it was just meant to be an observation.

Lol I went back and struggled too, even knowing what it was meant to say

You have to sometimes, if they're stiff or the item you're posting only just fits.

Indeed, sometimes when it's a little stiff you have to use the fingers to get it open...

No, I don't.
Can't say we've really noticed the trump/kim extravaganza this week. The roads have been a lot quieter but but i think that is more to do with this being the local school holiday - a lot of people are out of the country this week. Perhaps the Singapore government planned it that way....
Yeah, did they not tell you? All the rest of the world got together and we're going to nuke it while they're both in the same place.
Why nuke, just a standard airstrike should be sufficient; less collateral damage and whatnot.
Because it's the only way to be sure.
We've got to get rid of the nukes.
They've left. You missed your chance.

To be honest, they were a secondary target.

I've ordered a ratchet spanner and motor grip pliers.
Sweet, you going to leave them stock or get into the whole ratchet spanner modding scene?
Stock for a while until I get a feel for it.

What the hell is a Black Maria? Is it some sort of local vigilante group of superheroes?

Maybe it's a typo and it was a black Morris Marina.

Autotune, mainly.
Look at the size of this beast that I found in my mom and dad's loft!
Is that Gaz's 20p?
Looks like a normal size coin to me, difficult to tell as we don't know the scale of the insect.
Can we get a grasshopper for scale?
There's a famous (ish) person within 10 yards of me.
Guess who!
