Weekend activities! (old thread reanimated)

We have such wheelie bins (new word for me) :wink:
All stored in a little house.

Often the problems are old trees.
If there is such one on your property and its loosing a rotten branch
and there is some damage for neighbors, it could lead to severe problems.
We have two different insurances ā€œprivate liability insuranceā€ and the same for the house and the property.
The last one covers those cases of damage (BUT for others only, not yours)
If there is a damage on your own things you need another one.:
Called ā€œBuilding insuranceā€.
This covers damages caused by : storm, fire, heavy rain, snow, inundation etc.
on your own things.

You see : Buy shares from insurance companies! :rofl:

A very fine morning to your Franz.
Here we buy ā€œhome insuranceā€ which covers the building, contents, accidental damage and public liability.
Its quite cheap but you have to compare the different ā€œinsurance banditsā€ as some are quite expensive and some have offers for new customers.

I wish some of our neighbours would put their bins away because when the winds come so does armaggedon :persevere:
This really annoys me.

The bins need to be filled with garbage! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

I know this problems.
Many things flying around, if there is stormy weather.
But you are much more familiar with such strong winds, not we here.

Unfortunatly the garbage has blown away
The grey bins are for recycling (glass, paper and plastic) the green bins are for other household waste.
I have been inspired by @professor great preparation for storm conditions.
I have been to the local shop to buy supplies :sunglasses:

Top tip:

  • if you put that beer in the fridge, it will make your food stay cold longer if power goes out.
  • if you fill your fridge so thereā€™s mostly beer, with some food, affords max benefit.

The power rarely goes out in the UK, but that is because normally storms hit an area only a few tens of miles across, so all the repair crews from a region can act in parallel to resume power in a few hours. This storm is the size of the UK, larger, so probably as many outages per unit area but more area equals more outages and the crews canā€™t travel that far to fix so each outage will on average last longer.

Cold beer is NOT GOOD for any stomach.
Cold beer has no taste.
You could drink p*ss" if its cold.
There are too many who add ice cubes to the beer and even to red wine.
A sin for the taste and for the stomach,
Temperature for beer should be a little bit lower in summer of course.
Beer from the basement is perfect.

Ahh well then you only drink it therefore after the power is out, it warms up slowly, keeping food cold and you drink the beer last?

#893

Remember : Our brain needs a lot of blood.
When drinking ice cold beverages, the system tries to warm it in our stomach.
Quite a lot of blood goes to the stomach, less in the brain!
What happens? :rofl:

Humans are no heat exchangers in the classical way

In fact 2 of our 4 local pubs also have it on draught.
