As I have said before.

You can not beat a good old 1960s version with no electronics and still in perfect working order.
Bakes , Roasts,Grills,Boils and Fries to perfection...

Never a moments bother.

Get out the long gas lighter thing that you refill........ one click and hey presto...Lights every time...

And bought for £20 looking like new back in 2001....

London Olympics 2012:

You may not know is that many of the famous events, which go to make up this spectacular event, are to be especially altered for 2012. A copy of these changes has been leaked, and is reproduced below:

OPENING CEREMONY
The flame will be ignited by a petrol bomb thrown by a native of the area in the traditional dress of balaclava, track suit and trainers. The flame will be contained in a large overturned police van situated on the roof of the stadium.

THE EVENTS
In previous Olympic Games, East London's competitors have not been particularly successful. In order to redress the balance, some of the events have been altered slightly to the advantage of local athletes.

100 METRES SPRINT
Competitors will have to hold a flat screen Tv and a microwave oven (one under each arm) and on the sound of the starting pistol, a police dog will be released from a cage 10 yards behind the athletes.

110 METRES HURDLES
As above but with added obstacles (I.e. Car bonnets, hedges, garden fences, walls etc)

HAMMER
Competitors in this event may choose the type of hammer they wish to use (claw, lump, sledge etc) the winner will be the one who can smash the most windows within three minutes.

FENCING
Entrants will be asked to dispose of as many stolen goods as possible in 5 minutes.

SHOOTING
A strong challenge is expected from local men in this event. The first target will be a moving police van. In the second round, competitors will aim at a model of a post office clerk, bank teller or Securicor-style wages deliveryman. The traditional .22 rifle has been replaced in this event by a choice of either an automatic handgun or sawn-off 12-bore shotgun.

BOXING
Entry to the boxing will be restricted to husband and wife teams, and will take place on a Friday night. The husband will be given 15 pints of lager while the wife will be told not to make him any tea when he gets home. The bout will then commence.

CYCLING TIME TRIALS
Competitors will be asked to break into the University bike shed and take an expensive mountain bike owned by some mummy's boy on his first trip away from home. All against the clock.

CYCLING PURSUIT
As above, but the bike will be owned by a visiting member of the Australian rugby team, who will witness the theft.

MODERN PENTATHLON
Amended to include mugging, breaking and entering, flashing, joyriding and arson.

SWIMMING EVENTS
All waterways are currently being tested for toxicity levels, once one is found that can support human life, swimming events will be organised.

THE MARATHON
A safe route has yet to be decided upon.

MEN'S 50KM WALK
Unfortunately this will have to be cancelled as the police cannot guarantee the safety of anyone walking the streets of East London, especially anyone that appears to be... Mincing

THE CLOSING CEREMONY
Entertainment will include formation rave dancing by members of the Stratford "Health in the Community" anti-drug campaigners, synchronised rock throwing, and music by the Ilford community choir. The flame will be extinguished by police riot water cannon following the inevitable pitch invasion by confused West Ham United supporters. The stadium itself will then be boarded up immediately before the local Gipsy athletes break into it to remove the copper piping or the resident Eastern European athletes squat in it.

Very quiet today.........

Dea

Dea Report 18 Aug 2011 20:12

Well, am obviously in the minority then !!

Absolutely no offence meant to Jonesey (lovely man that he is), but I thought that his post might be quite upsetting to the people involved in these trouble, like LK, or people even closer to it !!

Anyway - hope everyone is having a pleasant evening.

Who is doing breakfast in the morning ?

MarieCeleste Report 18 Aug 2011 20:20

Not me, Dea - unless people are happy with some strong Yorkshire tea and a packet of fags?

Thing about Jonesey's olympics - a bit of irreverent humour can lighten things.

Don't you just hate it when the toilet seat starts slipping sideways?
