Black Friday

Enthusiastic Contrafibularities As you all probably know by now I am a big buyer of music and film. Just starting to see the deals come trickling through for items I have had my eyes on and some surprises I have not. Ideally I get some bargains but not too many as the bank balance takes a bit of a hit. [ more ]

Poppy debacle
Extremely Fluffy Fluffy ThingExtremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing
El Loro The Welsh and Northern Ireland FAs are also to be investigated by FIFA due to fans wearing poppies. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38077727 I always thought that wearing poppies was showing respect to those who died or wounded in the services. Clearly FIFA has no concept of respect though apparently players and managers are expected to show respect to referees. [ more ]

Lori Yep, I DO know. It was two years ago today, in fact. I still miss him something fierce, but in his brief moments of clarity, he felt trapped in his uncooperative body and mind. It was no life for a man that deserved so much better. Things are so much easier for my mom, too, who was his principal caretaker...It's hard to watch your parents go through that, isn't it? [ more ]
Enthusiastic Contrafibularities Sorry Lori I missed this post. No, it was a slow decline (took a few years) and I think one of the worst ways to go, but it sounds like you know exactly what it's like. Awful disease isn't it. It was nice that Cosi remembered and PM'd me a year after it happened. Hope things are better for you now. [ more ]
Lori I'm sorry, EC. That can't have been easy. I lost my dad to Lewy Body Dementia 2 years ago this month. [ more ]

Garage Joe I've done this material before, however I remember going to parties in the very early seventies, the sort where modern middle class Mums would put matresses about the house and leave their kids to it. The arty girls wished to listen to Laughing Len whilst the rest of us wanted to listen to PF, LZ, FZ and JT. One cold December night one of the arty girls insisted I walk her back to her parent's farm, an incident which I now know led to me contracting glandular fever. After that we would hide... [ more ]

Enthusiastic Contrafibularities I have noticed that they sometimes lose the readout or its goes to something like 1237% - my guess is there is either a lag in the telemetry or there are small adjustments if its on thr cusp. Would have been great if there had been just 1 more lap - lol [ more ]
Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing Strangely, it jumped back up to 1% just as they went to the adverts. [ more ]

Hello. A tinie tiny self pity post involving family and the election.

Lori And THIS is why I rarely discuss politics with family... Rawky, I don't know if you've heard yet, but we are all expecting to move in with you. [ more ]
Amythist Rawks...it's difficult, the Election and Brexit have caused a divide between people ,all those who feel scared, betrayed and unrepresented need time to heal and adjust, but we mustn't let hatred divide us as well as ideology. Have time away from social media and enjoy the beauty of Canada, you sound like you are really enjoying it [ more ]

Dame_Ann_Average Don't even get me started...1) what they did to women born in the fifties was illegal. 2 ) they have put the years up in stamps to 35, so anyone taking a break to have children are up sh*ts creek without a paddle and they have stopped being able to claim on your husbands NI payments to cover those years. 3) they have no conscience, I advise everyone to watch I, Daniel Blake...it's factual, researched to high heaven and based on true stories and this happens everyday to many thousands of...

Enthusiastic Contrafibularities I love a good firework display. I was at a family do last night. But like Xmas fireworks should be confined to a small window in the year. When I have to rise for work at 5:15 Monday morning, I certainly don't want to have been kept awake until 12:00 by people just letting them off for sh*ts and giggles. [ more ]

pirate1111 when i was about 10/11 i decided to go carol singing...now bear in mind i didnt know many..i plucked up the courage to knock on a door & started with silent night-this old neighbour opened the door but i froze-i just stood there with my mouth open like a cross between a xmas card choir boy & a blow up doll..she said Yes? what do you want? i ran away [ more ]
Kaffs I agree with all that Eugene.. and I'd add, I don't have kids but it worries me that all the kids who knock at my door are strangers to me. When we were young, we'd get ready to go guising and Mum would give a list of neighbours we were allowed to go to and she'd have whooped our asses if she thought we knocked on a stranger's door. Oh.. and there was no such thing as pumpkins either - you spend days whittling out the biggest turnip you could find - the smell of raw turnip still has me back... [ more ]

Dame_Ann_Average You obviously didn't read the article or if you had you would known that this wasn't propaganda.. it is about the attitude we have in taking refugees and don't tell me that xenephobia or racism isn't on the rise, you just have to check the police reports...40% rise since Brexit. I actually rarely read anything in the Guardian..that link was passed onto me. Me, I just think whats happening now in not so great Britain is disgusting, what happened to humanity and what makes us superior to... [ more ]
