Morning all.
Off out in search of the Hound of the Basketballs this morning.
@Drago - if I'm not back by this evening, send in the SAR.

Morning all, a grey drizzling start to the day here. I shall be out with the dog soon and then I have a carpenter coming to put a new bannister, newel post and spindles onto the hall staircase. When we moved here 36 years ago the previous owners had removed them, cutting the post flush with the staircase.

 

[Drago]

I'm feeling queasy, trying hard not to woof my cookies. Going for a lay down.

We has chicken with all the trimmings

Mrs D nipped into Aldi yesterday, for some liquid refreshment to go with the meal.
There was a sign advertising a new product---'roast potatoes done in duck fat'.
Now she and I both enjoy her roasties. Well done, crispy, yum yum.
But on impulse she decided to try these.
Put it this way, whats left is in the bin. They were a bit like glorified oven baked chips but maybe slighly bigger(not that we ever have them). Definitely NOT recommended.

The previous owners should be locked up for doing that.

Morning all. Weather is definitely grotbags.
I have my car insurance to sort out. The renewal/reminder arrived with a £30ish increase. Last year the same thing happened so I went on the comparrison web sites. After faffing around for an hour I couldnt get it any cheaper. Are they all in some sort of consortium??

 

[Dave7]

Where did you get that video of me?

Is that really you??
You know we were supposed to meet up next Friday?? Well Mo needs help with the painting.
Sorry, but she has promised me a bowl of porrige in return

Morning all, it is now day seven of this cold I have and it seems to be getting worse, nurse has prescribed me a day in bed.

On the NHS or private?

 

[welsh dragon]

I am going off for a stroll around the haberdashers in town. I will see how long it takes Mr WD to lose the will to live.....not long I suspect

 

[Drago]

Well, I've just upset the Lib Dem canvassers knocking on my door.

Probably because they were actually JWs but you never gave them a chance to explain

 

[classic33]

Well, I've just upset the Lib Dem canvassers knocking on my door.

You removed your door?

 

[Drago]

Told them I'd not vote for a party that ignored the will of the people. In reality I couldn't care less either way, but it served to get them off my doorstep. I'm looking forward to the commie candidate popping round...
