The madness has descended so I'm off to the doctor tomorrow for my yearly prescription of reassurance.
They have a rule now where you can only bring one issue at at time :? My doc is very nice and won't enforce such a rule but all the same I will be prepared. I have blood test results to show him so that can be the one issue and I will talk about my other ailments as potential symptoms.

It's good auld craic being me all the same.

Novax Djokovic is an evil demonic wanker and I pray Alcaraz destroys him on Sunday. If he also snaps some sort of tendon or bone in the process - gravy!

Hate him so very much!!!!!!

As for suffering some sort of physical injury, didn't the young pretender struggle to keep up physically and he had to retire hurt with cramp last time they played?!

Who knows, perhaps it was the vaccine!

After a week of very poor sleep I'm after sleeping so much that when I woke up me arms wouldn't work 😳

Had a chuckle this morning. After a week of both of us with Covid we are beginning to run out of stuff and butter may be the second casualty after milk. Made me remember my youngest son when he was a toddler was astonished and offended by the word butter and thought it was a terrible name for something you put on bread. 😁

Then, not very many years later, he announced he was going to make a movie soon, it would be over 15s, and only bad language in it.

😅

I'm looking forward to a festival this weekend. I'm booked to play a 2 hour set (most are only 1) but I've have precious little time to get a planned set together so I'm pretty much going to bring a crate of house and a crate of breaks. Split the set roughly in 2 by genre and wing it.

I am looking forward to a festival at the end of the month - Electric Picnic.

Every year I wonder if I am getting too old for such nonsense, and then every year I go and spend the w/end marvelling at all those there who are 20+ years older than I am, whilst also getting intensely aggravated by all those there who 20+ years younger than I am.

I expect this year will be no different!

When all pumps are in service, and there's space available, why do some people deliberately choose the one with the nozzles on the "wrong" side relative to their petrol cap? During one of my rest-breaks yesterday, I had a panoramic view of a filling station with 5 pumps and a "best price in town" offer (actually best price for the 600km of my communte, which is not-conincidentally why I was having a rest-break there 8-) ) ... but the number of people hoiking the hose of pump N°4 across the back of their car to fill their tank was incredible.

One eejit had pulled so far forwards that he couldn't get the hose to reach, which put him in a very awkward position, because he'd already pre-cleared his payment (24-hour card-only pump) and putting the nozzle back would have finalised the transaction. He was helped out by the guy behind, who offered to hold the nozzle while yerman reversed. :roll:

Bonny King Charlie sounds like a common or garden expat Brit when he's speaking French! :mrgreen:

(Except for inconsistency that your average commor or garden expat Brit probably doesn't speak French, despite living here for twenty years ... :roll: )

I think it's meant to come across as mocking/sneering

It's like a sarcastic parody of other online posters. For example if one is of the opinion that Russell Brand is totally guilty of all that he's being accused of they might sarcastically post something like "iT's a MediA wiTCh HuNt!!" as a dig against people who do think it is actually a witch hunt.

Sharing is caring!
I was having a problem with the wet summer and some towels getting a slight musty smell. It doesn't help that the kids (adults) use them and leave them in a damp heap when they are home. Only I could smell it, everyone else said they were grand, but I knew the fecken mould had got in at them. I even boiled them on the stove in a huge canning pot and used essential oils etc. But it kept coming back. Well I think I have cracked it!


First run a wash with about 250 ml of distilled white vinegar in the tray. Nothing else, no detergent. About 40 degrees is fine. You can go to 60 if you want, but my washing machine refuses to cope with that. Then wash again, same ordinary wash cycle, with one measure of washing powder and a good heaped measure of baking soda. About one cups worth. It has killed all trace of mustiness. I'm delighted.
