- I thought I was the only one…

Oh no. They're a favourite, moreso of the fairer half, but I've come to appreciate them more and more over the years.

Without wanting to reopen the debate about what "best life" was/is/should be, today was a corker on my scale. I spent a good chunk of the morning volunteering with the eldest's class (Y5), just listening to them read and ask questions about the books, then pottered about a bit before repea...

It was lush !

Wine was very nice too and I've got Counting Crows on the stereo. Happy days save memories.

As today would have been mum's 71st, we're carrying on with the nice dinners: Peppered duck with vanilla mash, pea & wild mushroom ragout, served with a nice Bordeaux red. Pics will follow.

What are you having?

I have absolutely no idea what I would do with it though. Garage wall I guess.....

Keychain, obviously.

That sounds excellent (prices notwithstanding).

What an awful way to spend a day, you must be really upset!

Which was the most surprising, and which would you sink your 911 fund into?

An extension?

I find the enforcement of jaywalking laws a good indicator as to whether I’m in a third world country or not. But yeah, America, land of the free, just don’t try to cross a road without a pedestrian crossing and/or green light otherwise you will be fined and may be arrested. You can walk in America?

It appears to be an intermittent problem that doesn't affect all devices. Mine seems to have decided to work again.

Anyone else suffering? My P6 Pro is getting silly now, and more frustratingly there is no official solution that works, just a lot of talk online of I did this or that, or something else, or nothing and then it started working again. This time round I can record audio using the recorder app, but whe...

Yes, whatever it was, it was dire.

Without a shadow of a doubt.

I just thought he bought a truck he thought she would want

Good point.

I think the only thing that was out of keeping with the character was the truck he bought, can't see him going for something bling. But that's a minor thing.

Shows why you shouldn’t be a cheapskate and buy a knackered one for 8k. If he’d spent 17 on a lovely one he’d be in for the same money as he is now with one nice working car rather than two wrecks and a headache. By the time he’s paid for a mechanic to do an engine swap he’ll be deep in a hole that...

I collect Newspapers from important moments in history and this morning’s collection was an interesting statement on society. The Times - commemorative front page The Mail - commemorative front page The Guardian - led with the Tories getting a kicking in the local elections. Their “coverage” was wh...

Rev (formerly of this parish)... How's he doing ? He's still blocking me on Facebook so I've no idea what he's been up to. He's fine as far as I know. Last I saw he was mucking about with the Camaro, the Macan was written off and replaced with an Evoque, and the 911 needed :shock: £s worth of rust ...

The red one is lovely! I never fancied a guards red 911 as a kid, much preferred the 928 but I do remember having brochures for the 993 and I loved the cobalt blue like colour. I would totally go banana yellow or kermit green for a 911, should I ever save enough to get one that still runs! Good luc...
