There's a frozen pea in the ice cube in my gin and tonic.

My car insurance renewal time. Current Insurer put it up from £250 to £310. Phoned up, not happy. No deal. Told them to cancel. New insurance, same terms, £200. Low risk driver, no claims in a very long time. Old car.

Son, EE contract, sim only, 16GB a month for £20. Due a change (he buys his phones now). Phone EE, tell them Virgin have deals... 100GB a month for £20. .. deal done.

My wife did the same a week before and got he 100gb. The reason for it was we also have a mifi device at our caravan and that was another £20 for just 15GB. So my wife has just saved money and got more data, my son more data for nothing, but it means we can stream TV/Music at the caravan without worrying about data as there is no wifi. AND saved money.

When I saw it, I did consider attempting flakes of gold and tiny slivers of cucumber for tomorrow evening. Unfortunately my stash of gold bars is next to the pilchards back in London.

My apple is bruised

How long would it take an apple(Red) that has been covered in wax and had a liberal dowsing with vinegar to rot away completly.

Would it rot quicker than a full lemon, buried at the same time?

A and a piece of rocky road and working on the pen drawing of the LH 90B. Or rather, the background; armco, advertising hoardings etc.

There's a promising-looking documentary on Jupiter on BBC2 in a bit as well.

I think that citrus fruits last considerably longer than others. Their skins are pretty hardy, and the acid inside would tend to preserve them better than apples, plums etc.

^^^^This, of course, could be utter rot.

I need both to rot completely, not utterly.

I dimly remember reading that orange peels take two of three years to disappear from the roadside. Maybe apple cores are more attractive to the local wildlife.

These will be buried, in one piece each, not left on the surface.

Interesting documentary. Jupiter really is a rather weird place.

I now need another

Modern way to have a family meeting too.

Stand by router.. switch off router...
Family appear in a few mins...have meeting...switch router back on.

It's the way of things now

Family meeting?
Glad I grew up in an autocracy/benevolent dictatorship.

 

[classic33]

Really? I didn't know that.


Yes, of course I have. I was here this morning.

Well, as someone said...

Well, I know that you've said it was so. Without references, citations, whatever, I'm just taking your word for it.

Anything more about the second spot?
