PEDANTIC EPISODE!!!??? 🤣 Details are very important (to me at least).

1:3 rate is just my personal preference for the sort of things that I do with it, like LED strip lighting installations in my furniture. I am not saying that the 1:2 rate is crap, but it would save me a trip to Lidl to find out for myself if Santa could answer the question. I do not always trust a printed label. But that’s my problem to deal with.

I also prefer 1:3 - gives a neater, tighter fit and a bit more leeway when using. I also like to double up if there is any doubt with joints that may pierce a thin bit of heat shrink.

Got exited yesterday so poped into my local Aldi. Found said t-shirts (handful of them) someone had one already opened, so took the oportunity to have a look, and thought to myself, there a a reason why it cost £3.99. Not least it’ll look like an oversized bin liner on my racing snake like body. Be perfectly fine for 90% of tossers on here. I’ll stick with Mountain Warehouse Isocool stuff, at least I know these do fit me, without making me look generic.

Used the excuse of being in store to buy some ice cream, both fresh and frozen fruit, along with the last two jars of Kalamata olives. At least the trip want wasted.

they are made for the higher BMI end of the boomer demographic for sure. My receipt lists it as a "fishing T shirt" so the same thing gets called various names as the season changes. For a T shirt that is only worn a few weeks of the year on trips it will be fine. The rest of the year, I prefer 100% cotton shirts.

I have had to stop buying ice cream for home consumption. To easy to scoff half a litre in one go this weather and pile on the kg. Not something you need to worry about I guess.

You are absolutely right with your comment.

Same can be said for any T-shirt. I look at it from a slightly different perspective, if I spend just a bit more on a quality T-Shirt (don’t get me wrong, there is allot of overpriced branded tat out there too) then it’ll last even longer, considering it’ll be “only worn a few weeks of the year”

As humans we are naturally weak and led by our tongues and senses. Hence the reason why people consume junk foods just for the hell of it, not because they are hungry. Same does go with alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, etc. knowing how to control your mind, and giving yourself a limit, certainly does help in piling on the midriff. I am now on the other side of 40yo, so if not careful I see a noticeable difference in my circumference and growth of man tits.

Weirdly, ever since my mid teens (having left home) I have always been able to visualise my food portion when self serving. Rarely do I go overboard with (particularly favourite) dishes, and either force myself to eat it all (a past time of my childhood sort of thing*) or beat myself up for not finishing the food on the plate.

*That in itself over the years helped me to visualise the size of the portions that I deem to be sufficient (and they certainly very often are) without being oversized, as if nothing will be left if I do not take more and end up going hungry for the next week.

Despite buying two 1L tubs of ice cream, wife and I have only had 3 scoops each so far.

Banana :D and £1 coin are for scoop size reference.

Anyway, we seem to have strayed off the “bargains down the middle aisle” path and into the ice cream aisle.

Have you by chance any documented evidence of said shite for our perusal Richard?

Will it end up at a local recycling centre in the following 12-24 months? £150 shillings is a fair wedge to experiment with. Then again keep it in your shares and/or investments account and Rachel from accounts will have a dabble at taking her share.
