Calories in food are actually kilocalories. Therefore, I assume, sufficient energy to heat a litre (1kg) of water through one centigrade degree. Dunno about Joules...
Calories in food are actually kilocalories and energy is usually measured in kilojoules. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.2kJ/LK as in it takes 4.2kJ to heat a litre of water one kelvin (therefore one centigrade) so the conversion rate is 4.2. Useful as I live somewhere that doesn't put calories on packaging.On most office paper packs there is a small black triangle at the side,
the paper should be put in the printer with the side up that matches the tip of the triangle.
Both side surfaces of a piece of paper are not the same,
one tends to be "gripped" better by printers / fax machines / copiers etc.

Not all printers are alike. Some invert the sheet but some don't. 50:50 chance of getting the arrow right then.the paper should be put in the printer with the side up that matches the tip of the triangle.

I like the look of a jumper worn over the top of a shirt, with the collar of the shirt over the top of the jumper. But rarely do it because I just get too warm.
Was moaning about this to the wife about a year ago when she asked why I didn't buy one of those jumpers with the faux collar sewn in to look like a shirt underneath when there isn't one really? I didn't know what she was on about so she showed me the next time we were in town. Mind blown. Life changing or what. I've got about 10 of them now. Had to wait until I was 54 to find out they'd been invented!

On a similar note I saw someone with a pair of jeans half way down their backside with a pair of boxers sewn in at the top for that gangsta rapper look. He was well wikkid!Was moaning about this to the wife about a year ago when she asked why I didn't buy one of those jumpers with the faux collar sewn in to look like a shirt underneath when there isn't one really?

In our rear lounge (we have two) There is a gas fire that I struggle to light. I have for the last year resorted to turning on the gas and striking a match in the radiant bar things.
It isn't used very often
Imagine my surprise when this morning it was receiving its yearly service and I commentated to the guy about the problem lighting it. He duly did it and ping it lit immediately. Off for ten minutes and ping lit again
It appears that its me who is the problem. It can only be lit with the button thing if the gas is at the very lowest turn on setting not the higher setting I was turning it to

What would happen if you bought these and just wore them normally? You'd look like you've been given a wedgie, with your boxer shorts half way up your back.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
