It's now been raining heavily and steadily for a while. I'm already sick of it. (Actually, I agree with Pyjakson. What a great excuse for staying inside.) I only just got to appreciate MrTiddles little joke because the bons mots below the avatars don't show up in the mobile version. Had lunch and watched the last episode of the travel show with Romesh Ranganathan on the BBC iPlayer. I'm not normally a fan of the celebrity travel log format, but I like the premise of him going to countries that aren't the usual tourist destinations and that "Michael bloody Palin" hasn't done already - which apparently leaves Haiti, Ethiopia, and Albania. Mr Enemy got all nostalgic for Saudi Arabia during the Ethiopia episode, as the landscape is quite similar across the Red Sea. 4 *s. |

I've got a belly full of square sausage Not had square Sausage in about 20 yrs probably. It gets called slice in Greenock. Onion slice is the best slice. Especially when you use it for stovies. |

I've logged back in just in time. Square sausage and stovies chat, lovely stuff.
The outlaws are down to ruin my weekend. They've paid the tax to enter the house, two massive bags of Glaswegian pakora. The pakora you get in England is, quite frankly, fucking pish.
Games:none, unless being embarrassed by the frequent bickering in public of your wife and her parents like she was 14* again is a game.
*She isn't 14. Nor is she a Thai bride or imaginary you bastards, she is a real woman.**
** She is also not a cardboard Boba Fett standup with a blonde wig attached...as far as you are aware.

Sadly, the only place to get a Lorne slice in this uncivilised country down south is by going to the M&S in town. A land of barbarians. Edit: I'm aware I can make my own, but where's the fun in that? |

Hello.
I have been playing more No Man's Sky. This time I loaded up my old save game in Normal mode. I had to dismantle all my now obsolete tech into nanite clusters (one of the in-game currencies) and technology components which seem to have a high retail value but which guides advise hanging on to as they come in useful later.
My old base has disappeared and I and my old ship were transferred to the nearest space station. I spent sometime sourcing, refining and assembling the components to construct a terrain manipulator. I also found some humming eggs while exploring a cave system, which yielded valuable pearls, but no Thai football team.
Beware the whispering eggs though...

We live close to Corby (too close) and what with it being full of plastic Scots you can get Lorne and a proper haggis nae bother. The Asda there, instead of a foreign foods aisle, has, no word of a lie, a Scottish food aisle. It's weird and unsettling for some reason. |

Wetherspoon's deals? |

That is a magnificent picture of this mysterious and exotic foreign fare, Melv. Who says Chatterbox isn't educational? Never been to a Scottish supermarket, MrTiddles? |

An actor - possibly Brian Cox - had a load wrapped in several sheets of cling film and had it in his suitcase flying not long after nine eleven. As you can imagine the suitcase got grabbed right off the flight.
{Edit} nice pics. You can buy a whole or half or by the 'slice'

Evening all,
I go on holiday, it pisses it down constantly. Quelle surprise.
Went out in Plymouth last night, it's an interesting place for sure. I can tell you they have a large wetherspoons and vodka revs is as classy as you'd expect.
Thankfully I get to go home tomorrow.

Arrrgh. The cat has just put a fresh poo into its litter box. Unsurprisingly, I was keen to get the little shit* out of the house as quickly as possible. Unfortunately it was still chucking it down.
I've managed to reach the bins and make it back into the house, but I now look like the winner of the Miss Wet T-Shirt contest, and not in a good way.
*that is the turd, not the cat, although I'm thinking about it

The irony being of course the cat had looked out the window and thought "fuck going out in that for a shite"

She's always been an inside cat, mainly because she's too stoopid to be safely let outside. If we want cat shit in our garden then the neighbours' cats are happy to oblige. |

Scottish cuisine is all about the ridiculously high in sugar fizzy drinks that you can buy no where else.
Not had a chance to get stuck into NMS yet, took the kid to the local museum. He's just started walking which has meant my partner and I have spent all day making him walk from one to the other.

I now look like the winner of the Miss Wet T-Shirt contest Sorry everyone, I can't post anything now, because I'm coming down with a fever or something. I'd love post more, but I'm really burning up, and I have to go and cool off, I don't really know what's wrong with me, I just feel all odd and weirdly sweaty and hot. I definitely need to go and lie down somewhere calm and quiet. |

I'm sorry I forgot about Shenguin's nervous disposition earlier.
The rain has stopped here and the sky is reasonably clear. Could we have a re-run of that lunar eclipse, please? If not, will I get a refund?
Just 20 minutes of gaming in Octopus's Garden, and my strategy of using my nuts to help Olberic grow some balls is paying off. Clobbered the Captain of the Guard, broke into his house and nicked his sword. Success!
