Latest Moan From You and Me 2024

Theirs is the glory (shortened I presume).

 

It does @pete because "Theirs the glory" is another way of saying "The glory is theirs". In some situations in English, verbs can be understood and not always expressed.

 

If FC's is anything like mine, too hot. For actual slow-cooking, the only setting that doesn't boil is the 'Keep warm' one...

 

I assume the heat, over time, has made the plastic brittle.

I've only got a small one of these with two settings low and high, it boils on high but only after about three hours.

 

The switch on my mum's slow cooker broke last year and I took it to bits and replaced it. They got it as a wedding present over 45 years a go and it works perfectly again now.

 

No need to throw it away. This stuff would fix the problem. Wonderful stuff.

Isn't that like Blue Tack?

 

I think it dries, unlike blu-tac, but I may be wrong. I feel I need to buy some. It stores better in the fridge.

 

No. Blu Tac stays in a “fluid” state. Sugru begins as a malleable, soft putty but after a few minutes it sets into a solid, fixed, but still bendable shape. I have used it on lots of things that need a repair. Like a charging cable for my phone where a bit of the outer casing got sliced off and the inner plastic-covered coloured wires were visible. It was made much safer by the addition of a moulded bit of Sugru. There’s nothing exactly like it. It comes in different colours. Very expensive but cheaper than buying a new charging cable etc.

 

I bought the book by Ellen Patricia MacArthur DBE "Taking on the World" very interesting read but OMG it was hard going, Proof reading ? every the thing and those had the th transposed
