The back, top, bottom and sides all get hot. So you’re right in that it’s radiating the heat, it just does use the typical radiator on the rear.

I have a modern fridge which is about 15 years old now. Simple digital control, multi zone temperature control, no radiator on the back, stainless steel. It was very expensive at the time but it keeps going and hasn’t required any maintenance other than occasionally cleaning the inside.

The fridge I had before this one was a cheap Beko and lasted less than two years.

I hate every chimp I see, from chimpan-a to shimpan-z

Go back far enough and the people doing horrid things were also your people.

I got annoyed the other day at work. I work in the offices of a factory. It’s 35 Celsius and a lot of hard working people are working next to large ovens and suffering from high heat. A couple of people on the office Teams channel started with comments like “given the temperature we will be organising some cold drinks and ice creams for the office staff”

I would like to see those people try and spend a day on the production lines in this heat.

These dudes lived in the tropics and lived off the fat of the land. They didn’t need to worry about seasons in the way more northern/southern hemisphere people do.

Totally agree though. Maths, astrology, water sources, farming. All very important to sustain a civilisation.

I saw a video years ago where somebody was talking (with a translator) to a tribe, I forget where. He asked how do they count. They would point with one hand to the other hand. Once they’ve got to five they start pointing to other parts of the arm moving upwards. He then asked what if you need to count higher. They looked confused, why would they need to count higher.

For them they could exist without needing to count beyond teens.

You can tell this isn’t real. Spiffing wasn’t mentioned.

Fancy a cuppa

That’s really good. Much better than the ones I have.

What boxes are they? Cereal?

I find mine start off at 10c but creep up easily. I’ve only just started with mine. How often do you cook out the beads?

Bring back brown cars!

Oh interesting. I wonder if that is why adverts, even in the 90’s, had silly accents.

I was watching some old British adverts a few weeks ago. I thought to myself that I don’t remembering them sounding the way they do. Might be what helped knock my local accent out of me.

Is this like the “queens voice” people used to put on when they answered the phone in the pre-mobile times? We used to laugh at my mum and dad for putting on a posh accent when answering the phone. I’m not aware of people doing that these days but perhaps they do

Flobber dobber dobber

We try to teach our kids not to lie but then lie to them about Santa. When they question sensible ideas like we don’t have a chimney some other made up lie comes out, prolonging the deception.

Sort of. Only because they don’t maintain their asset register correctly and the ticket system is shite. Dodgy equipment does end up going out but not always at the fault of the person issuing it.

Oh I don’t think I’ve seen the large black ones before. I grew up in Poole. Perhaps the black ones are less common here.

Hey, I’m from Dorset too. I’ve never heard Chiggy wigs before. I wonder if it’s a very regional or age thing. We called them wood lice.

Running is what triggered it originally years ago. Ligament and cartilage problems I think it was. Could barely walk on it for 2 or 3 months after. I have to be very selective about the sport I do now. I helped a friend move house a few weeks ago and somehow that has messed it up again. But now I know what it is so I know when to stop and deal it it better. I miss being young!
