Stay awake, see where your cats go.

That'll be my bed. One on the pillow behind my head, and the other at the foot of the bed.

 

[Gravity Aided]

No, that's a laboured fight club joke.

I thought I told you to never discuss Fight Club.

Popped down to a local glaziers and the chap cut a replacement piece of glass for the door - £10 !

Going to watch the first half of Uruguay v Saudi Arabia, then will pop off to the Co-op for a spot of yellow stickering. Besides, I need milk anyways.

I've just bought £530 worth of air dried European oak. Last year, that would have cost about £350 to £400. On my way home I went 20 miles out of my way to buy some glue. They didn't have what I wanted.

After 3 years without a front door, we'll soon have one........... and a porch door, and a door on the downstairs loo.

Better to count them out, then count them back in again, heh?

Won't be the only laboured joke in this thread

Brilliant yellow stickering in the Co-op. Now settling down to a nice salad and Iran v Spain.

Oh exactly. Moans when he has to wait for people getting ready, but he can't get himself up on time for college. I get sick of how lazy they get. Daughter is fine, but the 17.5 year old....

We have a few lads a bit older than this in the social organisation where I work and they show the same signs. I'm told that between 14ish - 18ish the intense changes and rebuilding that takes place in the brain mean that it is a while before young men are able to think in abstract terms and view things like the other person's point of view. After that age it develops.

Worryingly, this means a lot of young men gain a licence for a car in this time...

On the other hand you can take heart that your son is quite normal and will hopefully become a normal rounded human being who will appreciate your patience...

Forgot to say, there's pork pie with the salad...

This is one proud as punch Daddy.

My beautiful little five year old daughter has just finished colouring in her new backpack.

Doesn't Shiraz make you dizzy? I think they should put a warning on the bottle.

I always find this a tricky one.

Pork Pie should really be eaten with HP Sauce but, HP doesn’t really go with salad.

I dabbled with salad cream for a while but it just didn’t hit the spot.

I’ve now settled for Branson Pickle when faced with this conundrum, but am not fully convinced.

Any ideas?

 

[Tenacious Sloth]

Obviously, when I say Branston Pickle I mean the proper stuff. Not that revolting sandwich variant.
