What deed, thought, sight or what was said today that made you smile?

Oh, I see! Someone's joke and I fell for it. That's a good one!

@Upsy Daisy Thanks!

 

[Upsy Daisy]

I could be wrong

 

[Tjohn]

Yes, it's a joke. Corn dogs are hot dogs wrapped in a batter and fried, and they come out looking like cattails.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Don't think we have them over here @Tjohn .....but I got the joke

@Tjohn That's a good joke. We don't have corndogs here. We have hot dogs. Now I am smiling. Quite hilarious as I actually googled for corn dogs and bulrush..

Snow? What snow?

'I wonder why there's NO snow on your roof?': Police find £80,000 cannabis farm with around 322 plants... after spotting home with mysteriously ice-free tiles

• Police smelt cannabis outside the property and saw no snow on the roof
• They found cannabis being grown in all 4 bedrooms and the cellar of the house
• PC James Butterfield posed for pictures with the huge drug haul yesterday
• So far no arrests have been made and police investigation are now underway

They should be in less trouble if they manufacture legal highs .. in bunker built inside their house. Smell from these plants is so obvious.

Well, the situation made me smile, although really it was more a "good deed."

I was just about to go out to do some shopping after lunch, when I had a call from a widowed neighbour who said she'd come home after being out visiting all morning to find a stone cold house as her central heating boiler had gone off and "could I come over and look at it."

Dropping my shopping bags I went over to an ice-cold house, she was still wearing her coat and hat.

With "my vast experience of all things mechanical," I had a look at her boiler which is situated in the walk-in cupboard under the stairs and quickly determined the problem.

"I then effected an immediate repair."


I pressed the reset button.



The boiler sprang into life and the heating came back on.


Being serious, her boiler vents into the side wall opposite the mirror semi. Between the two houses there is a shared long carport roof. This acts like a bit of a wind tunnel. I guessed that with the strong winds, during a gust, there'd been some back pressure on the flue, enough to trip out the boiler as it thought there was a blockage.

I then gave a grateful neighbour a quick lesson on boiler maintenance.

I showed her where the reset button is situated on the front of the boiler.

LOL! But you know, this lady must have been panicking like hell! A lot of women are just scared coming to anything technical, Some men are the same!

A lovely story. Hope he behaves for the rest of his life. We need parents like this.
