I was thinking of doing dry January, but apparently it also includes beer, even though it is basically a soft drink. Make it a dry February. Less days. Use January to get through any booze leftover from Christmas, if there is such a thing. Exactly! I'm feeling sleepy from having leftover fizzy wine with my lunch. Should I have poured it down the sink like a barbarian instead of getting pleasantly sozzled just because of "dry January"? Wait until February and everyone will have forgotten about it. |

I.bloody.hurt ... the Muppet turns up on my doorstep to remove the old dressings and clean the wounds... using a kind of cardboard sandpaper to scrub the biofilm off the exposed dermis ... the nerve fibres are exposed hence the need for morphine. "I'm sorry not to give you the 30 minutes notice, but you'll be OK if you quickly take some now, won't you - we're very pushed for time?" "Can I have your home phone number?" "Eh?" "So when I am walking around trying to take my mind off the agonizing pain in my legs I can let you know what I think of fools who don't give me AT LEAST THIRTY BLOODY MINUTES WARNING so the morphine has a minimum chance to take effect." grumpy silence "It's that or I write a letter of complaint about your incompetence ..."
Turns out Nursey asked the Muppet to turn up at 12.30 at 9 am... he could have let me know then what time he was coming. Overreacting? This is the 3rd time he's done this... it will be a painful, distracted white night because of this ... this amateur. It's much much worse than I am describing to you... so I may not be in here much.

Watching BBC News. The Manchester knife attack bloke was shouting 'Allahu akbar!', which the BBC translates as 'God is greatest'. Surely it's really a comparative of *kbr "to be heavy, important, great" rather than a superlative? I.e. 'God is greater' (which raises the question of other gods).
What I'm trying to say is that I don't think the bloke sufficiently thought it through.
I still need to sling out the rubbish since tomorrow is a normal working day for bin men, I assume. With recycling? Without recycling? Who can tell at this point?

Chumbles, you have my sympathy. It's not much, but it is sincerely offered.

Meatballs and spaghetti followed by profiteroles. Not steak pie, but a pretty great NY day dinner.

Prosecco and Pinot Grigio to drink
Cheesecake for dessert.

For the nerds of the more 'mature' persuasion on here, there's a free download of a book about Spectrum games here. It looks like the sort of thing I'd enjoy if I was a million years old so thought I'd share. |

Make it a dry February. Less days. Fewer days. Your welcome. And happy new year. I was quoting my friend Les Days, but there were a couple of typos. And I didn't put it in quotes. I'm a fraud. |

ChumblesGah, that's not good at all. Is this person even qualified? Seems like a distinct lack of care involved.

Steak. With mushrooms. And chips.
Glad to hear that Destry is partial to sprout or two. Usually I'm the only one.
(But I cook the dinner so they don't get a choice. Mwahaha.)

(But I cook the dinner so they don't get a choice. Mwahaha.) I cook the dinner too. But I'm the only one in the family who eats sprouts. 5 or 6 sprouts bubbling away in a tiny pan is truly a sad sight. Perhaps next year Aldi could replace Kevin the Carrot with Sam the Sprout in their Christmas advert? |

I’m back in the UK.
My last trip to the EU before Brexit. I should have just stayed there.
