New fridge/freezer ordered from "ao(dot)com" - I've used them before and found them OK.

Surprised at John Lewis not stocking normal (IMO) size ones though.

Fridge / freezer has broken down (and there's a hint of "brown smell" at the back). Get on to the John Lewis web site and there isn't one that will fit in its space.

The official website for the BBC 2 series Maestro.

Perhaps the only thing more stupid than a hydrogen tram. A hydrogen bike!

It's annoying that laptop chargers use 3-pin mains connectors. It means I need a different lead for Switzerland than for other continental destinations. My 2-pin devices work in both.
