tenthenemy I thought it would be too good to be true. I'm looking at the small print of the ee free switch offer. It says not with any other deals so my 25% off friends deal would cancel out the offer. Bawz. If I get a phone on Vodafone I'd save on Amazon prime video so could put that monthly cost toward a switch. Or pay less again on 3. Hmm. I could justify a free switch to Mrs C. Dunno if I could justify buying one. Certainly not this side of Xmas.

In answer to my question earlier this week, President Trump has now cancelled his visit to a cemetery in France due to the rain being too wet from the standpoint of water. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/nov/10/trump-baltics-balkans-mixup-le-monde-belleau-cemetery-parisI suppose it's because he left his only umbrella on the steps to Airforce One when he couldn't figure out how to close it. He also mixed up the Baltic states with the Balkans. Could have been worse, I suppose. Could have been Baltimore, Bali or the Birmingham Balti Triangle. |

I'm in the kitchen making a coffee. I closed the door so the noise from the machine wouldn't annoy.
I am making a coffee but it's cover for problem eating maltesers out the fridge.

Even though I've got a perfectly good filter machine and a hand grinder for the coffee beans I now want one of these, £90 <edit> though some of the reviews are a bit worrying  |

Hi. I've been to watch a rugby match at murrayfield. It's the first time I've been to a rugby match sober and, by a process of elimination worthy of Poirot himself, I have now established that drink is not the reason that I don't understand rugby. The confusion is a property of the rugby itself. However, I can report that the lads did some points.
Coffee machines: I've got a gaggia. They last forever.

A Goop article/advert, one of the most horrible things I've read, extract: "8 a.m.: A new tradition has recently taken shape, and I’m totally digging it: Devin makes me an almond latte and sends Finn or Kiki to bring it to me as I’m getting dressed. They’re like the world’s cutest short butlers. I don’t wear makeup or blow-dry my hair (though I often braid Kiki’s hair for school), so all that’s left is making lunch: an organic avocado, organic cheese, organic sumpin’ sumpin’ sandwich for Kiki, and anything as long as there’s also Pirate’s Booty on the side for Finn." Article/advert |

Oof. That is bad. Though the fact you're reading Goop is even more disturbing. And Danielle's morning routine does seem to have a bit of the Patrick Bateman about it... |

Oof. That is bad. Though the fact you're reading Goop is even more disturbing. I was directed to it via twitter, the site keeps on giving: "Dear Jean, Do I really need a face mist? Is it about moisturizing your face more or opening up pores? Or just feeling nice? —Barbara T. Dear Barbara, There’s mist—and then there’s this gorgeously luxe, nourishing elixir made of jasmine, vanilla, cocoa bean, rose, colloidal silver, and witch hazel." I assume "luxe" is a terrible shortening of luxurious or maybe deluxe, who knows |

Last one, from Larissa: "7:30 a.m.: After I’ve had enough coffee to wake me up, I ask Alexa to play classical music, which I’ve always loved in the morning (especially Bach’s Goldberg Variations). If I’m alone, I light some incense (since no one in my family likes it but me)." and from the shop: "Paper Crane Apothecary PSYCHIC VAMPIRE REPELLENT £26.00 Crystal and spiritual healer Zoe Taylor-Crane distills the mood-lifting, therapeutic powers of gemstones into gorgeous elixirs and mists. A lot goes into her luscious formulas, from vibrational healing and Reiki-charged crystals to sonically tuned stones and restorative oils." <edit> No words
I'm sorry: "HOW TO USE Heal and balance the chakra system by placing each crystal over its corresponding chakra. . Relax for at least 5 minutes before removing any given crystal. . Carry these crystals wherever you go to continuously benefit from their healing energies. . To cleanse your crystals, pass them through sage smoke or hold them under cool running water. . Charge your crystals by placing them under the light of the full moon." |

To try and hide the smell of weed that no one in my family likes but me.

BabyF and Fortnite!
Mate, if you haven't already, delete it. Now!
Just been at a family gathering. My 12 yr old nephew has 135 Fortnite wins. 27 solo, the rest duos and squads. This is what you are up against.
I blame the parents.

Annoyingly, he was also able to converse eloquently and with intelligence, unlike me.
"eurgh beer?!... that's what losers drink"

Step outside and I find it's not enough for you to spout your usual FPS, console hugging nonsense, but you now have to import drivel from elsewhere. I am happily creating my own rubbish ...
Nursey was convinced that I was depressed. I told her my mood was inspired by the NHS' sterling inability to resolve the wreckage and conditions caused by their incompetent treatment. Her punishment was to ignore my denials and refer me to CBT... this execrable package besides being full of New Age shittery ("Think of your toes, become conscious only of the feelings there...", also contained helpful questions like "What method would you use to commit suicide ..."

Civilisation wasn't up to much but I did get my flooring and tons of vegan cream cheese for Mrs toolio.
There was a sizeable amount of vehicles in the ditch to make sure toolio drove slow. Long day. Beer, burgers and bed, no games.

Sorry for your poor experience chumbles with CBT .......honestly it shouldn't leave you feeling so shitty or pissed with it....think they did too much mindfulness. My advice is read a bit of David burns (not talking heads) and look at the new mood therapy. In person he is fantastic. I'd offer a few sessions but I'm a long way away bud..... |
