I am a big fan of the phrase 'over 15' to describe things you own. It sort of implies 16 -20, but could conceal a whole lot more. It strongly suggests 16 is the most you can admit to. I own over 15 CDs. Shenguin drank over 15 glasses of wine last night Harold Shipman killed over 15 people Rolling owns over 15 pages of shoes. There are no horrible secrets in Rolling's closet. No room for them with so many shoes. I did not drink anything like that much wine. Did I mention the cider thing? I can't really remember much, except I was shit at Fortnite. I was made to go to a cider farm with work, where there was pizza and cider, but no beer. I did the only reasonable thing under the circumstances, which was to moan like fuck whilst downing pints of the strongest cider. Apparently it's stronger than most beers. Who knew? Coming home and using red wine to get rid of the taste of cider was a masterstroke. |

4 pairs of boots
3 pairs of shoes
2 pairs of Birkenstocks
About 10 pairs of trainers from superga to skate shoes to shell toe numbers.
Hello. Absolutely chucking it down here.
Been busy today with cleaning our abode and the Asda delivery - the reason for my earlier anguish.
Stir fry for dinner. Beers and some more GTA later. The end is in sight.
Been listening to a good chunk of the Ecstasy: Battle of Rave podcast today. Worth a listen if you're interested in:
a) Stories about da rave.
b) scally scousers talking about pills.
c) Dutch drug dealers talking about selling pills.
The Blackburn scene (although I knew a bit about it) sounded proper mad.

AmipalWhat do you think the future of the Royal Navy is? I feel convinced that one of those big aircraft carriers is going to get sunk.
Hopefully ... They have enough lifeboats. Hopefully the only thing hurt is pride.
The future of the Royal Navy is tricky to predict. A lot of time and money has been invested in getting a carrier strike group up to speed, which may mean less hulls available for other duties. For example, the first group will comprise of one aircraft carrier, two frigates, two destroyers, a nuclear hunter killer submarine, and two fleet auxiliary vessels. All of that is a sizeable chunk of the fleet. With the forthcoming defence review, and purse-strings tightening due to COVID (as well as general poor cost management by the MoD), we could see even less hulls available to the navy if they choose to cut further. And that would be a mistake, as we are at the very limit of a useful blue-water navy already. |

Hello
Today (lunchtime) I went to the pub. Thanks to lockdown I have a shitload of CAMRA vouchers to use up before January (50p off a pint, over £20 worth of vouchers).
It was OK.
Next week I officially become an OAP. I have already received my Freedom Pass.
All very depressing. 4 stars.

I mostly wear protective toecap boots, because when I'm not working in my top floor executive office, I sometimes visit the building sites of the major internationally significant buildings I'm having built.*
Did I mention I'm kind of a big deal?

Now I'm in now position to judge, what with my shrinking hair, but thought I'd watch the Boro v Twatford match and Warnocks hairline is higher than the crown of his bonce. Startling.
Edit: and Watford score. Poor oap Destry.

Two.
One for each hand.
Black leather gloves from M&S about 15 years ago.
I don't use them that much.
They are still in pretty good condition.
Oh and a pair of Marigolds. I don't really count them though. Only very occasional use for cleaning.
