Looks like a nice space, what's your plans for it if you don't mind me asking?

Depends who's asking. The Mrs is convinced this will be a play room for the kids. I've already bought a projector and want a pool table in there

That'd be telling wouldn't it

well by the sounds of it she's getting the playroom, just for the wrong kid.

Basher is just tiny, look at the size of the dining table and chair set.

I suppose he could always start an Airbnb for dwarfs. Just needs some tiny beds.

What brand is that, having trouble making it out.

Some pointy things

Just googled these -most impressed - looks miles better than the one I got from Lidl the other week for £5

I have the same kit - it's my go to kit for most things now, great at the price.

Yes, I had a cheapy one from Chine for a tenner, i bent a couple of bits and the magnet fell out of the driver making it useless

Agree, for £30 it feels very solid and i have no doubts it will last

Sort of a purchase... here’s my view right now on holib.... holiday!

Might go for another dip

Is it an Airbnb? Pass the link over, you can do it once you're back to stop all the stalkers np.

The hot weather is driving me potty

It works brilliantly, albeit I go through paper like no tomorrow, I start a sentence, mispell, rinse, repeat.

If only there was some sort of device that might help that. That perhaps a company we may have encountered sells. If only it did other things as well.
Nope, can't think what it could be.

There was no erase on typewriters though was there so you had to start again if you made a mistake?

robfosters · 13 Aug 2020 at 21:23

For full effect, those old typewriters should be used in a darkened room whilst drinking neat whisky and chain smoking.

Nope, no erase, it is very unforgiving if you make a mistake. I never knew (this is one from the sixties) you set margins so it stops typing - very clever (I though it was broken

)

Tippex. Or you just block out the mistake and keep going.

I was going to say you could use tipex as well but didn't look nice in the end result.

I’m surprised Tipp Ex is still a viable product any more.

One day it won't be.
