Modern doors with multi-point locks have handles, else you'd need to put a load of torque through the key...
Good point.
Weirdly mine has a handle, but is opened entirely from the key

A lad I used to know told me a story from his childhood.

His dad saw an advert for a pet rabbit "Free to a good home" in the local paper. His dad went round to get it under the pretense that it would be a pet for his son. When he got it home he killed it and cooked it for dinner.
I so hope that that's true laugh

a guy I know collected a pet rabbit from a workmate as the kids were not looking after it,
as he got to the gate he knecked it and carried on walking, the workmate and kids were somewhat upset.

My dad told a similar story. It was during WW2, he was a young lad 6 or 7 probably there was a special family event. Meat was hard to come by but he had a pet rabbit. So flopsy went into the pot.
Come dinner time everyone sat around just looking at the stew and not eating.
Except my dad.
Who tucked in.

So who couldn't spell Heaven, them or you? biggrin
Mrs GE is a teacher. She has a kid in her class called Neaveh. I dispair.
Yeah I think it should be 'Nevaeh', although as it’s a made up name anyway I suppose it doesn’t actually matter. nuts
Are you sure it's not meant to be "Niamh" only they're trying to spell it like it sounds... or have lost their links to the Old Country through generations of caravan life and can no longer manage the language?
I may deserve a parrot here but:

Neaveh is meant to be Heaven spelled backwards...

And "despair".

Yeah, I believe that was the original point. I mentioned the name "Niamh" becos, as any fule kno, it's pronounced "Neeve" and there was a child at my kids' school who was called Neeve... and it was spelled "Neeve" rolleyes

Oh the shame... I got ours out of the cupboard last night and did chips for a fry-up.

But come on, oven chips taste terrible - and our local chippy has gone all 'PH Private' and now serves a handful of chips in a box... A BOX!!!

If I'm having chips, I want a pile of them, not a few in posh box.

My mate growing up was proper council. Biscuit tin for snacks, chips everyday with cheese and deep fried whatever. Drank full fat coke all the time by the 2 litre bottle.

Never ate fruit or veg (was allergic). his family dog was a collie cross, I was speaking to another mate recently and suddenly realised in the 8 years he had they never took it for a walk.

On the whole pretty council. Although thrilling.

What prompted me was observing a fat doleite standing at a bus stop wearing a Barry Sheene motorbike jacket, white and yellow with 'SHEENE' written down one arm in red. Absolute council.
One of these? I've got one, but I'm a slightly overweight IT Professional smile

Smartphone with a screen that's been cracked for more than 24 hours.
I was in my local pub for the rugby on Sunday, there was a gaggle of teenage girls at the bar, all Facebooking, one of them had a screen so cracked that it looked like she'd taken a lump hammer to it, then thrown it from a tall building, before driving over it.

I almost cracked a "looks like that's seen a bit of action" line until I realised I might be considered a bit Adam Johnson, so just stood there staring at said phone in state of OCD disbelief.

Spotted on a recent trip to Chatham (don't ask)





That dog was £199.99. Yes, £199.99
