chrisjpainter Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 It's my day off. I could be doing a whole host of useful things. Instead I'm thinking about this: A Vanguard-class submarine is, give or take, 150 metres long. Would it be quicker to swim 100m freestyle in a pool, or run 100m inside a Vanguard submarine, given the obstacles, stairways and general restrictiveness of the route? Men's freestyle 100m world record is 44.84 seconds. Men's track 100m is 9.58 seconds, not in a submarine. Anyone got an answer? Or any other questions I can think about so I don't have to clean the windows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old farrier Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 That would depend upon whether the submarine was travelling at full speed or not 🤔 and obviously running in the same direction 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all terribly middle class around here. I suspect if people did graffiti it, it wouldn't be your classic cock and balls, it'd all be well punctuated irony - or Latin.

And you should never do the windows in direct sunlight 😉 Now apply a cold compress or get down the woods/ river 😅😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 As Mice says - don't attempt to clean Windows in the sun or just a hot day. When you do - get the right equipment, a decent mop, scraper and microfibre cloths along with a bottle of Ungers Liquid - you will be amazed how quick you can do a Window.

Having hobbies isn't a problem. Avoiding doing the windows is After seeing my first efforts many years ago, SWMBO has agreed that cleaning windows is not on my DIY list. They are on my GSI list (Get Someone In). 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
