Wouldn't have a wham bar in charge of a child. Strictly a weekend evening pursuit. The stupid names thing is just because 1.5 hours of playing dolls can begin to grate. Ottm. That's the child tested negative two days in a row. She can now be sent to the shops with £20 and a note asking for 10* B&H and some quavers. *Yes I know. Won't the local cancer stick merchant sell single ciggies to children? That used to be the way it was done. |

2 litres of White Lightning a pack of rizlas and 3 cigarettes is every child's shopping list.

Been looking at ways to reduce power usage. Apparently the ps5 uses 1.3w when switched off (but power going to outlet) but 1.5w on standby. Ffs. Less than a PS4 though. Less running as well.
I thought items on sale in the EU had to be less than 0.5w on standby? I've remembered Brexit thanks.
A new 4k TV would use less power than our current TV - if my basic arithmetic is correct.

Wee Freddie our History teacher in 1st/2nd year used to send pupils to the ice cream van for single fags. I nearly called the ice cream van something else due to force of habit.

hi
I watched the last episode of Peaky Blinders last night. A good ending but on balance I thought the while series was pretty bad. I did enjoy the 2nd and 3rd series but ... Maybe I just didn't like Tommy Shelby?
It wasn't that believable. How did Tommy become a Labour MP and owner of ten factories? What was the point of all the Oswald Mosely stuff? That was all ramped up at the end and seemed to peter out. I mean I know stuff in life does peter out, and things don't need to be believable, but ...
There was also a lot of drama generated by musical montages.
Maybe I wasn't following it closely enough ...

No it was something that's an Italian slur - which wasn't meant by the majority of folk using the term in the West of Scotland I'd imagine.

(He drags self across floor to kitchen)
I will make it - more coffee
With his last gasp he reaches the kitchen and fresh coffee, the coffee courses through him invigorating his vitals (you heard), he bounds through the door landing neatly in his PC chair ready for another battle of what does this button do knowing it could be his last.
The end - of the beginning - of the end, etc.

Shenguin is a wurzel these days. A proper straw chewer.
I find the accents of the mother city warm, comforting and famiilar, me babby.

God knows how Sheep and Shenguin get through the day I did not like the 'Brummie' accents either. They got better after the first series but they were still pretty poor. |

I had to google Crank's Ice Cream Van remark.
Also, RIP Dot Cotton.

Apparently the Division 2 has just launched a new raid. Just as I uninstalled. Smh. They're doing it quietly as it involves a nuclear power station. Wonder why?

What search term should I use to find out the racist West Scotland / Italian ice cream van slur?
I'm pulling up blanks.

Are you sure? My LG 43" LED TV is a "G" energy rating and uses a load more juice than my 55"* LG OLED TV; i.e. they vary *Measure THAT!, Tuffers |

Quiet eh?
How was your weekend?
How were your weekends?
Other than going to the zoo I didn't do much
I feel a bit second hand today, for no good reason. I feel like a waterlogged crisp packet, in an outdoor setting.

crankcallerI 'liked' your post as a sort of acknowledgement you had posted it. In the same way you might 'like' something in Teams. That sort of 'thumbs up' symbol. But if it's something racist then I don't like it. No no no.
