[quote user="lindal1000"]What's a Thermomix?[/quote]Perhaps this?edit: From the report
Criticism
In 2010 Stiftung Warentest rated the model TM 31 with mark 3.2 (satisfactory). Mainly the high price of €985 the noise level and that grating and slicing is not possible was criticised.[6]
The successor model TM 5 was rated in 2015 with mark 2.9 (satisfactory). The noise level (measured at 91 decibel by stirring water) was again criticised and the testers named this as the reason why it was rated down.[7] In 2014 Thermomix was awarded a "Shonky Award" by the Australian consumer advocate CHOICE, for the "flawed launch of its new model".[8]There have been numerous accounts of a Thermomix machine "exploding" and burning people with scalding liquids.[9][10] In October 2014 the model was recalled over claims that hot liquid or food may splash out of the mixing bowl.[11] CHOICE has called for an ACCC investigation.[12]
CHOICE has told the ABC it is aware of 87 separate cases where Thermomix consumers have been burned. The ABC understands 18 of those required several weeks of treatment in hospital burns units.[13]
Product Recall
In 2014 Thermomix TM31 was recalled in Australia. The ACCC
issued the recall notice 2014/14361 in October 2014. The sealing ring was identified as a point of possible failure in circumstances where the machine was operated at high RPMs and then switched to the lid open position. Service numbers starting from 124231XX to 143231XX. Vorwerk shipped all affected owners a replacement sealing ring in November 2014.[14]regardscajal -

[quote user="idun"]I love the new John Lewis advert, I knew it would be theirs and was enjoying it, and then I laughed out loud at the end and it was nice to have something on tv that made me happy and laugh, there has been so little recently.[/quote] If you enjoyed that then you should try the White House version.regards cajal

It was the first day of a school in USA and a new Indian student named Chandrasekhar Subramanian entered the fourth grade...The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American History. Who said 'Give me Liberty, or give me Death'?"She saw a sea of blank faces except for Chandrasekhar, who had his hand up: 'Patrick Henry, 1775,' he said.'Very good! Who said 'Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth?''Again, no response except from Chandrasekhar. 'Abraham Lincoln, 1863' said Chandrasekhar.The teacher snapped at the class, 'Class, you should be ashamed. Chandrasekhar, who is new to our country, knows more about our history than you do.'She heard a loud whisper: 'Phuk the Indians''Who said that?' she demanded. Chandrasekhar put his hand up. 'General Custer, 1876.'At that point, a student in the back said, 'I'm gonna puke.'The teacher glares around and asks 'All right! Now, who said that?' Again, Chandrasekhar says, 'George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.'Now furious, another student yells, 'Oh yeah? Suck this!' Chandrasekhar jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher, 'Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997.'Now with almost mob hysteria someone said 'You little shit. If you say anything else, I'll kill you.' Chandrasekhar frantically yells at the top of his voice, 'Michael Jackson to the child witnesses testifying against him, 2004.'The teacher fainted. And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, 'Oh crapp, we're screwed!' And Chandrasekhar said quietly, 'The American People, November 9th, 2016'...regardscajal

[quote user="Gluestick"]Apparently, Jonz, the Secret Service team body guarding Clinton, nicknamed her airplane, "The Broomstick"![:D][/quote]It just goes to show what a despicable awful person she is.She didn't have the common courtesy or decency to thank all those millions of people who voted for her, let alone all those 1000's who will have contributed to and worked for her campaign.It just highlights her utter contempt for people and the US electorate. Luckily for them she was shown the door and hopefully this will be the last we hear of her and her family.regardscajal

[quote user="mint"]Ah Cajal, thank you for explaining the remark about Buck House which made no sense to me.[/quote]I actually saw it as an attempt at humour ie the monarchy could fall.Either way, mistake/humour....it ain't going to happen. Perhaps scotland ought to mind its p's and q's lest England decides to toss them out.regardscajal

[quote user="lindal1000"]Scotland voted remain by a big majority so I can see why they are annoyed.Technically they can't be kicked out of the union. In many ways it would probably be simpler if England left, although that would leave a little problem as to what to do with Buckingham Palace.[/quote]Surely that should read Balmoral?regardscajal

atesI believe the Republicans didn't particularly win it but the that the democrats suffered a resounding loss in view of their candidate selection. An awful person and choice of candidate.If you look at the Clinton successes on the map you will note they are concentrated to the areas/states where the personal wealth is the greatest. Which re-enforces that old chestnut "I'm not yet wealthy enough to vote socialist" which the rump of the states electorate believed by voting Republican.Personally, I genuingly believe he will, just like Reagan, make a success of his presidency.This is yet another wake up call to the world's political eliteregardscajal

Banks can and do recycle closed account numbers to new customers...worst scenario for you.Theoretically it should bounce back but I suspect it will have arrived at the destination bank in €'s recquiring conversion to £'s to enable its allocation to the appropriate account which, unfortunately for you, is not the appropriate account. Whether this transaction can be automatically converted back to €'s from £'s and subsequently transferred back to your French account would, I suspect, require the intervention of a human being.Is it possible/feasible for your son to contact his bank to explain the situation and get them to start the ball rolling, so to speak, as they will not correspond with yourself about a 3rd parties account? Obviously it won't be posible for the funds to be diverted to his new account from the banks quarantine account, if it is located there and not already in the account of a new customer with your son's old account numbers.I would bet the value of your transfer if you attempt to engage your French bank in the recovery of these funds that all you will receive,at most, will be a gaelic shrug.Anyway, good luck with it all.regardscajal

[quote user="Gluestick"]You have proven a point, cajal; probably with some assistance from Google![:P]Oh dear. Have I stolen your thunder?

It would be somewhat ironic if the UK Govt. has to appeal to the EU courts to overrule the UK high court's article 50 decision... regardscajal
