I'm going with your explanation because despite looking slowly I didn't find anything lol but what is the connection with the wording House Special... the hand print is still stinging hehegood, hope it's left a nice big red hand print haha, I wouldn't bother wasting your time though as just what I repeated to you lol xx
I’m sorry but I can’t understand what you’re typing. Do you have subtitles?I could understand it if I was using any colloquialisms but I am not. Despite not living in Tthe North for over 40 years, I have an accent.
When we first moved into our old house we got about 500Kb broadband and the only place we could get even 3G was first floor south end. This meant laying in the bath!Trying to get a decent signal for this bloomin' BT Mini Hub is a bit like those TV aerials of yesteryear. 😡
You had to stand with one foot in the cat's litter tray and your right arm at exactly 60deg from horizonal for something to happen.![]()
I have a routine set up on Alexa to turn off all the lights and check the perimeter alarm is set etc when I say goodnight.Well when my wife was away a few weeks ago for the week, I ended up saying goodnight to Alexa just for the comfort of her voice, I was missing my wifesad but true.
I don't know why we call it a house special to be honest, American's call 5.5 (or 100 in their measurements) a unicorn xxI'm going with your explanation because despite looking slowly I didn't find anything lol but what is the connection with the wording House Special... the hand print is still stinging hehe
No, not me!@Paulbreen, Paul its origins has been lost in the mists of time. It was mentioned way back here https://forum.diabetes.org.uk/boards/threads/group-7-day-waking-average.20148/page-971#post-609884
But I'm sure there were earlier mentions. "Old hands" like @Northerner (sorry Alan not referring to your young age) would be able to tell you when and why it was invented. I think the phrase was coined by @silentsquirrel but I'm not sure.

YAY! xx
Sorry @silentsquirrel. I knew it was some sort of furry animal but it turns out it was @KookyCatNo, not me!
Go for it @ColinUK
@Gwynn I'm glad things are a bit better for you and your wife today. 🙂I like the idea of getting a unicorn 5.5. I'll try hard for one tomorrow 🙂
My wife is a lot better today thank you. It' a real roller coaster here and has been for 35 years. One minute I'm the hero the next I'm the devil himself, in her eyes. Oh well, I will come out from hiding in the cupboard in a while. It's such a shame. Not keen on teak veneer. Ha ha.
My "goodnite" routine has Alexa saying "Time for bed said Zebedee", turning off the TV and all NowTV, Amazon Fire and Bt connect boxes. She also turns on the bedroom lights to a suitable sleep inducing level, plays Classic fm and in the winter turns on the electric blanket.I have a routine set up on Alexa to turn off all the lights and check the perimeter alarm is set etc when I say goodnight.
