    Penguin.

    Take it you mean David Bedford who was promised success at the 1972 Olympics, but he didn’t do too well.

    He has successfully won the case against 118-118. Ironically he has now offered his services to the rivals, BT 118-500 and has promised to donate any money to charity.

    David Moorcroft also an athlete (1500m) and his championship career was from 1976 to 1982 and he didn’t have the dead ferret under his nose.

    I really must express my deepest concern over this statement, VDGG could never be described as a great band by any stretch of the imagination.

    To drain water from dishwasher sumps I use a 3 feet long piece of PVC hose, fill the hose with water (as advised by Archimedes 2250 years ago we he found his dishwasher stopped pumping) hold the ends, one into the sump the other into a bowl and EUREKA !!!

    How’d he do that then? Beat the servant with the hose to clear the sink? 😉

    To clear those blocked Fabric Conditioner channels, the use of a 12″ long ‘Cable Tie’ stuffed up the pipe, clears it in no time. Even quicker if you use the Cable tie whilst the machine is filling on the final rinse 😉

    🙂 🙂 Stay tuned for more blindingly obvious tips & tricks coming your way 🙂 🙂

    The most useful thing in my toolbox is probably the box itself. It’s got wheels and an extending handle. Very useful for trogging round the town centre when you can’t park where you want.

    Obvious really.

    Update due to recent posting the most important thing in Penguin 45’s toolbox is as follows:
    Towel
    Trunks
    Goggles
    Swimsuit
    Wetsuit
    Snorkel

    Oi, gits – I’m a non flying aquatic bird right? Mind you, the goggles would have been useful!

    You’re as bad as me Richard – you HAVE read all of it, haven’t you?

    This was digging in the vaults a bit – come on then, what is the most useful tool in your toolbox? And it isn’t a device for extracting penguins from horses hooves. 😆
