    If that doesn't work, you can try to snake it out (which only works half the time), or the easiest (but grossest) method is to remove the U-joint on the plumbing below and manually clean it out.

    Abso-fuckin'-lutely! Make sure you have a tripod set up for it. I want to see that reaction play-by-play when that line bursts the first time you crack the pressure on it. Pure gold.

    Quickest and easiest - try pouring a kettle-full of boiling water down

    Blockages are usually caused by accumulated grease and fat, that should be enough to break it up and get it moving.

    While I'd love to have this entire show in a physical copy, Amazon Prime will have to do.

    DAMN YOU JEFF BEZOS.



    This is literally the greatest thing that was ever on Spike TV. Even Silent Library pales in comparison, and that was a decent show (on MTV).

    Silent Library originated off of MTV I think, but still great.

    When a good friend and former colleague of me retired six years ago we started to meet every last Thursday of the month with a few other colleagues at a pub. I had to skip the last meeting at the end of February because I wasn’t feeling well. And then … Corona came.

    Today we had our first meeting via Skype (I had the idea after a watch-along of Torchwood which was followed by a Q&A with the main characters). And though we had some technical problems (I still have to figure out if and how you can see all participants simultaneously and one of us had to cancel last minute because Skype wouldn’t work at the place he was), we had fun. So much that we scheduled our next meeting for the 14th May :).

    In a few days the eggs will start hatching. Can’t wait to see of the kochin-chicks will get feathery legs like their grandmothers, their mothers only had half their legs covered so the gene for it might not be that dominant.

    It is a table with a built in lazy susan.
    Usually they are placed on top of the
    table. :)
