COLD DARK ROOM

[spud's_mum]

When a hurricane struck the West Country back when I was a boy, it blew our alleyway door open which wacked me on the nose and broke it. (my nose, not the door.)
OUCH!

Ouch! I think I'll stay in the safety of my room from now on just watching the fresh prince of bel air haha

Each to their own.

Honourable mentions to Kathy, Linda, Adam and Bea who all scored well for the Virtues but not quite enough to grab a medal placing.

This is what comes to mind for me when you mention toast

Who are those 2 fellows dancing to their breakfast preparations??!!?!
LOVE IT!!!!!!

 

[Moozillion]

Is it really common for there to be separate hot & cold taps on sinks in the UK?

At least when I was working in New Zealand (1996-1998) they were ALWAYS separate!!!! DROVE.ME.NUTS.

Thank you to Jacques Cousteau, Lyn, Ken, Noel, Yvonne, Sabine, wifey, Cameron, Marty, Grandpa and Brian the Scouser for playing and scoring points.
Those who scored and are not mentioned are in contention for a medal position for virtuousness !
So, Jacques was the winner of the most virtuous pet!

YAAAAAYYYYY, JACQUES!!!!!!!
EXTRA SALMON FOR MY VIRTUOUS BABY!!!!!!

Lesson in 10 minutes, so see you later, gang!

Oh, and leave us HANGING as to the most virtuous Roomie??!?!

Strange question to ask

It's probably about 50-50 as you go round.

In my house all our taps are mixer taps. They're pretty common throughout the UK

Blame Youtube and the video it shows me.

It just seems like the Internet was trolling me a bit.

 

[Moozillion]

Now who was the most pure of the Roommates ?
The seven Virtues were : Chastity; Temperance; Charity; Diligence; Patience; Kindness and Humility.
Adding the points together for these who gets the crown for being the nicest ?

I'm guessing either Lyn or Lena...
although Wifey should get lots of bonus points simply for putting up with...erm...I mean, taking such good care of our Adam!!!

At the last place I worked, whenever the wind was blowing hard, they would leave the front door of the main building OPEN, and the wind would blow in. The first time I saw this, I shut the door and was immediately engulfed with the most horrendous screeching whistle as the wind then blew through cracks under the door!!!! A secretary ran up and (giving me a dirty look) opened the door again. The wind blew in but the dreadful whistling sound stopped. She said they always leave the door open when the wind blows, or else that whistle drives them nuts!!!!!!

This was at a State institution, where even the simple installation of a weather strip on ONE door apparently required too much paperwork, or so I was told.
The place, very aptly, was a long term mental hospital (insane asylum).

That's Eric and Ernie.... Morecambe & Wise.

They're a British comedy duo who were at the height of their fame, mandatory viewing, in the 1970s.

Their shows, especially their Christmas specials, still have people chortling now as their comedy is so timeless

Sadly, they are both dead now, but their humour lives on

All will be revealed shortly

You didn't have to watch it .

Indeed.
She wins easily in this household.

I particularly wanted separate taps. My kitchen sink:



Or did you mean a separate spigot for each?

I've had bad luck with dripping and leaking with the mixer faucets, so did quite a bit of searching to find this set up.

Yeah, a separate spigot is usual in the UK.
Good morning, Yvonne.
