There's mice presently causing havoc (chewing the foliage off model trees, moving wagons, stealing smaller tools) with my Grampa's garage. He superglued a peanut to the mouse trap as they kept pinching them.

A mouse has managed to take said superglued peanut without setting the trap off.

Could be worse, like a fucked TV for a £1000 worse 

Or maybe £1400 for one that's only slightly fucked

I've been with the Missus since 1986. We're on our 2nd Panasonic tv in that time. How do you go so wrong with such a basic bit of kit?

Haven't driven my Toyota Land Cruiser Amazon for about six weeks. Drove it today. It reminded me why I love it.

Thought this was a proper fuckabout though two and a half weeks in I can see the attraction. 

Am not quite Eric Baristo though am enjoying the challenge of making something drinkable. Might drag my old cheap version out when I get home.

It's the cleaning, I've got a bean to cup one, empty this, clean that, fill this, descale, it's also far too easy to press a button and get caffeine addicted 

I started getting bad stomach ache so cut it out, within a few days my body ached all over, somebody was drilling holes in my head, it was awful 

Caffeine is anti inflammatory

That's the same one I've got, it makes a great cup once once you get the hang of it. I had problems with the basket sealing, I changed the seal but it would still leak. I ended up packing the seal out with a circle of silicon. I think the head needs adjusted but if you watch youtube videos of stripdowns the insides seems to be stuffed with wires and pipes so I'm just leaving it be.
