What would we do without a search engine as good as Google...

Seriously.... is there anything that you can't fix by doing a quick Google?

Get home tonight to find a puddle of water under the fridge (that is about 2 weeks out of warranty )... open it up and two of the super cool lights are flashing. Great. Did a quick google, couldn't find much other than contact Hotpoint - so I gave the hotline a quick call and they wanted £150 to sort (even to take a look)

Told them too do one and did some basic troubleshooting... powered it down, gave all the vents a clean, etc, etc to no avail.

Then did some 'advanced googling' and found a post telling me to turn it off... turn both temp gauges down to 0, turn it on, then turn them both up to half and press the super cool button.

Lo and behold it works! Not only saved me a call out, but saved all the meat I had invested in tonight

That's 6cm, surely someone will do a 4cm if you look hard enough!

google != answer of everything

It very rarely fails me

So i'm sitting in the kitchen, taking a look at a large plant we've got and decide it needs watering. Notice some little bugs crawling around in the soil and feel a bit alarmed.

Do a quick google, and seconds later i'm putting raw potato slices in the soil, and a jug of water mixed with washing up liquid next to the plant. Those fungus gnats will be gone shortly.

Amazing.
