Dull man's club.
Thought I'd start a dull man's club for dullards on here.
I'll start. I've been debating for 20 years which screw to change

Re: Dull man's club.
I planted six tomato seedlings yesterday. They are of six different varieties but three of them are a red tomato and the other three are yellow. To make the display of tomatoie abundance I hope they will eventually achieve more aesthetically pleasing I have arranged them symmetrically with the yellows at the two rear corners and the front middle and the red ones, well, where the yellow ones aren’t obviously. At the risk of blowing my own tomato trumpet (I don’t have a trumpet but did have a recorder in primary school so imagine me blowing that if you must) my tomatoes were excellent last year. My dull life will feel lifted slightly above mediocrity if I can match my previous success.

Re: Dull man's club.
Here's a top tip for you gents: store tins of beans upside down so that you don't have to scrape beans from the bottom of the tin when you open them.*
* You need to open the tin at the top.

Buy some of those plastic things which hold socks together in the washing machine. You can get a variety of colours and prevents the need to pair up socks when they are washed.

Tip here for all Audi Drivers ...
Move your drivers seat fully forward ... this would mean you can get even closer to the car in front.

Re: Dull man's club.
Rowls I have had the same problem with beans as you appear to have.
First is this with large or small cans?
I have little experience of small cans but it's certainly a problem with large ones. If you decide to only eat half a large can and save half then as you have obviously found out sauce viscosity becomes a major problem as it radically changes as you go down the tin.
You end up with over sauced beans with your first meal and under sauced beans with your second because of the higher sauce viscosity at the bottom of the tin.
I have tried your solution, marking up the tins to note the period of inversion from 1 to 6 weeks yet still have had a viscosity problem.
To help with my research I would ask do you shake prior to inversion and if so for how long and do you have any tips. My experience is only with Heinz beans but a solution would help obtain two satisfactory meals out of a tin instead of two slightly compromised ones.
Hope this isn't too interesting.

Re: Dull man's club.
Problem is MASSIVE with Heinz beans… the sauce is now so thin, it is almost gravity defying. The beans hate the sauce so much they sink to the bottom of the can. Bin the Heinz, get on the Branston. Lovely thick tomatoey sauce like Heinz USED to be.cblantfanclub wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2024 1:05 pmRowls I have had the same problem with beans as you appear to have.

Re: Dull man's club.
Model makers/wargamers should store their paints upside down so the pigment is at the top. This can then be thinned down with the appropriate thinning agent before application…. This making those little bottles last twice as long without compromising the paint quality.

Or invent a tin holder that will rotate the tin slowly inside the cupboard to prevent any substatial settling? The contraption could have various settings for different brands, eg. Heinz, Branston, etc.

Re: Dull man's club.
When I worked at Track Records in York during the 90's, a guy came up to the counter one day near to Christmas, with a list in his hand. He was obviously after a present for someone, and he proceeded to ask (in a cockernee kind of accent)... 'Excuse me, have you a CD by (and this is what he said)... Van Morrissey (except he said Vaaaaaaayyyyyn Morrusseeeeee...). I explained to him that there's a Van Morrison and a Morrissey (of The Smiths) and asked him which one he meant... he replied 'Naaah darn't worry mate, I'll go an ask at HMV... and off he went!!!
