The advice, companionship, inspiration and ideas are worth a sight more in fact. ^^^ This. I haven't bought or sold on here, & I can't bear to part with stuff, but BC membership alone is worth the money, as Stewblack says. Will pay subs in the next few days. Thanks Ped 👍 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep meaning to sign up for the subs, though there's nothing I want to sell at present. Perhaps a 'Premium Member' usergroup for those who've paid up? I'm sure you've thought about it before though. I used to belong to a Scooby forum that had premium subs or basic membership for free... though that forum went to sh*t (though I think that was because of it was sold off by the owner to Internet Brands). As Premium Members would we get more TLRTs? What other privileges? Marketplace adverts, sure - but what else? Should Premium Members' opinions count double in some way? Or a nice badge? A gold one? I'm up for that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's because if you say 'Subaru' in a Scooby Doo voice, it sounds a bit like Scooby Doo saying 'Scooby Doo' ... It's hard to replicate in text, but something like 'Ruby Ruu', though not quite. 🙃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky 4000 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) We run a (pink) plastic bowl in the kitchen sink. It's because we are extremely poor, having only a single sink (and a single drainer, as it goes). There are times when i.e. we might have the bowl with some clean hot washing up water in it, and need to use the gap between the bowl and sink to pour away leftover liquids, or run some cold from the tap - without spoiling the clean hot water in the bowl, see? If we were rich enough to have two sinks, I'd wash up using the 'two sink method'. Which would still leave nowhere for slops etc. Therefore I would need one of those tiny 'swilling sink' thingys in the middle (like a 1/8th scale sink). Three sinks! Mannn, I can only dream of something like that... Edited July 24, 2019 by Ricky 4000 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
