The Children's Off Topic Thread

[Mervyn and Trish]

I'd be more concerned about cutting down kettle use

Someone told me once that if you leave you TV on standby all the time it uses as much power as if it was on. How much truth there is in that I don't know.

None at all unless you have a faulty telly! However it does use more on standby than pulling the plug out. But how many of us can be bothered? Our main tv doesn't have an off switch so we would have to crawl behind it to the wall socket to turn it right off.

From what I have just read, a modern 32" TV left on standby will use approx £1.91 worth of energy a year. So I wouldn't bother risking your knees Merv to unplug.

32"? Couldn't you afford a proper one?

[Stephen]

That's all I can get in the mobile home

Did we ever resolve the issue of the title of this sparkling thread ? Methinks Moby is getting a bit fractious about it !

[Stephen]

We don't want to go upsetting plod.

How about we rename it the 'The ON/OFF Topic Thread'.

Shed ... log cabin ... it has to be one's ' lodge ' surely

[qbman1]

Isn't that where the beaver lives ?!

Grand Lodge sounds better

[qbman1]

OK, the Big Beaver then

[Stephen]

I wish. .

[qbman1]

Mixed benefits - think of all that trimming !

[Stephen]

Not if it's from the Brazilian range

[qbman1]

Do you have a catalogue ?

[towny44]

In this mornings paper Helen Mirren says she hated her sexy image in the sixties, errr what sexy image was that then Helen?

[qbman1]

She probably thought flashing her bazookas was an attractive feature

[Stephen]

A looker in her younger days though.

Two please .....

[qbman1]

She looks a bit too fond of herself for my liking

[Stephen]

I wouldn't have kicked out of bed.

[qbman1]

Somehow, I seriously doubt you would have got that far !
