• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Christmas Gift

Anybody know what this is - it's about 170mm tall?

it's a black metal cylinder stood vertically on a table, slightly larger at the base and resembling an elephants foot. It has a small steel lug to one side.
Easy.

:D
 
Fondue stove.

It comes with a complimentary French polishing kit to repair the mark on the table that's left behind. :D
 
Spittoon? (*)

(*)Really, it's probably an ash tray or smoke filter for cigarettes. The button either opens a door for the butts or turns on a fan to suck in the smoke. (**)

(**)But I like "spittoon" better....
 
It's where you tip your Starbucks coffee after taking a sip ?
 
It's for the little foil wrappers from all those Ferraro Rocher's ?

Why on earth do you need a separate receptacle for coffee grounds. Ours goes into the general waste or just sometimes down the sink.
Seems like a solution looking for a non existent problem to me.

Recycle them into compost? Or, according to the t'interweb, an anti-cellulite scrub!

I'm sure you could do the former but in that case shove them in the veg waste container. One of the coffee chains ( can't recall which) puts out bags for grounds for customers to take away FOC but I suspect that is for their convenience rather than yours!

EDIT: It is Coffee No 1 - certainly in the Fareham branch that do it.
 
Well you are partly correct it's an expresso coffee knock-box

It has to be pretty rigid and strong to empty the portafilter as it needs a good sharp tap - I've gone through several plastic bowls in the past. The coffee is tamped at 30lbs pressure.
I throw the grounds on my garden.
