They have a very old hospital trolley at the querky little museum I volunteer at. That's fine. Now found out it's a mortuary trolly from the Victorian lunatic asylum that was just down the road. Every time I look at it now I think of some poor Victorian lunatic having his skull drilled with some old hand drill to let the madness out. They possibly still do this for all I know. It sits outside the tea room. I'm sure it would put people off their tea if they knew.
It has handles on the end that I find useful for winding the hose pipe around

I squished it over a heavy weapon; then jammed some Green Stuff (modelling putty) in the mould.
I’ve popped it out this morning, and I’m quite impressed. It’s retained a lot of detail.Morning. I also squished some over my heavy weapon and jammed it in the mould last night, and was also impressive, but I won't go into a lot about the details. Havent popped mine out yet today though.
Lunch: Black Garlic Tonkotsu Demae Ramen. Games: Halo Infinite Campaign, its comfortable like an old pair of slippers. When Ive done the campaign I might get good at MP, maybe do the real deal ranked fights.

The PS5 has arrived.
"So, what does that do that the other one doesn't?"
Piss on my chips why don't you my beloved.

I hurt; I will not be in much - if you are lucky... I leave my PCs alone. I know that if I try and fix any of them I will fuck it up. The last time my repair had to be re-repaired by a professional. As for printers, they go wrong without my intervention... my solution? |

The PS5 has arrived. "So, what does that do that the other one doesn't?" Piss on my chips why don't you my beloved. Welcome to the 2020s. The Matrix test demo is awesome. The other free thing is pretty fun as well. Mostly the PS5 is pretty good for worshipping. It has the gravitas of a real monolith, but sadly not the diminutive size. Now you really need to work on the big 4K TV. |

Fortunately 4K TVs have come down in price massively.
And increased in competence. You can get a perfectly decent one for not much more than a PS5.
Perhaps sell the other kidney as well?
I wouldn't worry too much about brand. Go for the biggest size you can get away with - when the time comes.

Your face is institutional-looking.

They still use Electro-Convulsive Therapy a surprisingly large amount as well. Particularly on older women who don't respond to other treatments so I am reliably told. The Victorians - particularly mid-period did not use ECT. i understand ECT s quite succsssful in reducing symptoms, but it remains a treatment that causes lasting and largely unknown changes to people's brains as well as being highly unpleasant. I believe they have tended to reduce the shock duraton over recent decades, but there was a reason it was largely replaced by the chemical cosh. At least they have stopped the forced administrative sterilisation of mentally ill patients. Though Sweden carried it out until well into the 1970s. In the early Victorian period they still used to allow guided tours of asylums for the amusement of visitors. |

Hi
Went to morrisons earlier. Now working. Kids broke up for xmas break at lunchtime and are already being annoying. Still not sure about rimming. Will give it another go tonight and decide if it needs chucking in the bin or not. At least the good news is that coronavirus meant the Ashes were cancelled this year.
OTTM, no

I think what you meant to say was 'his/her/their' #CancelWhatalark And not forgetting they/them for the gender neutral. Although I have to admit I find it all a bit confusing and deserve to be cancelled. |

My pal last night made the comment about the 4K telly. You're both right of course. He was just slightly annoyed I'd got one. But then, he had just spent a large chunk of a rent rebate on an ounce of weed for Xmas, that he seems to be battering into.
Deciding if we should attempt to keep the child off school from now. She finishes Wed. Last year she missed the last couple of days as she had a terrible cough and was upset she missed the class party. Nicola said the Omicron-and-on numbers are doubling every 3 days. Xmas plans are fucked if any of us get it from now anyway. But that also goes for the Oxford contingent coming up and the PM's folks.

Crank if you're getting a telly for the PS5 do your research on response times as they are hilariously bad on these large 4k tellies. For instance I couldn't go back to using mine for any competitive shooters.

But that also goes for the Oxford contingent coming up ... Crankcaller and his five friends act together in an Oxford University student comedy troupe. They are shown performing on New Year's Eve, ringing in 2002 at the family's country estate. The stodgy party-goers are underwhelmed by the stylings of Crankcaller and his friends, whose only supporters seem to be the family housekeeper, Vera, and her young son, Paul. Ten years later, Crankcaller has recently inherited the family estate, and invites his friends up for the 2021-22 New Year's weekend .... |

Exporting Omicron to North of the border from a university town, take that Nicola.
Students here have gone, guess we see if the spikes keep going or come back in Jan.
Child still alive and being woken up to eat as sleep is more fun the growing for them.

Quite right to. Some one has to make a stand against this rising tide of unruleness that is trying to break down the political correctness that we so need. I shall stand in the naughty corner picking my nose and wiping it on the wall |

Hello. I'm currently waiting for the German government to fuck up my Christmas plans as they are deliberating whether or not to declare the UK a "virus variant area", complete with 14 days quarantine whether you've sold your soul to Bill Gates or not. Please, Karl Lauterbach, I was rooting for you to become Health Secretary and I 'like' all your tweets! Thing is that I have booked a flight to Germany on Tuesday to finally see my brother and my mother after two years. No direct flights to Hamburg left, so I got a flight with Lufthansa via Munich, of all places. Expensive but worth it for avoiding crossing more than one international border, like in the cheaper KLM/Air France combination that would have sent me at one point to Paris, need I say more. If I will have to isolate in my bedroom over Christmas I won't be very happy but I will sit it out. What I don't need is singing Stille Nacht on my own in a hotel room in Munich. I have even already bought my (mandatory in Germany) FFP2 face masks (with this lovely Xmas pattern*; 8 different ones to choose from!). I hadn't used disposable masks before because I don't want to destroy Greta's future, but I'm sorry, now it's either me or the dolphins. Very good, suitable for wear at hairdressers and eye examinations, four stars. *although I was inclined to get this one instead  |
