letter from the BBC "WILL YOU BE IN ON THE 21ST OF MAY"
and that was no the outside of the envelope
nice of them to let me know when to be out.
I would like to tell them to do one, but I suppose that would now be classed as "hate speech" and end up inside.

I would answer the door, confirm you don’t need a licence and tell them you feel they are harassing you.

The bin is here. 2 cups of tea and a whole packet of biscuits later......

Pork and rice for me

White vinegar will do the job a treat. I've been doing various shower related maintenance last week or so.

Yes indeed, our plumber of many years standing recommended pouring an egg cup sized amount around the joint of our swivel tap on a weekly basis, and tipping wome into the cistern too.

I'm currently totally resetting MrsPete's laptop (W11 😕) as it's running slower than a very slow thing.. 🐌

My son put Linux Mint on an old Windows laptop that was extremely slow and now its extremely fast. Think he downloaded it from Univ of Kent ? if I remember correctly

My new laptop is an i7 with SSD. I don't know what any of thst means, but it's so fast everything it does is instant. Click the mouse or press enter and BAM!

I put Cinnamon on my old w10 laptop & it gave it a new lease of life until several letters stopped working so I bought a new Dell (with W11 pre-installed) and installed Ubuntu. So nice to use instead of Windows..
Unfortunately, MrsPete wouldn't get on with Linux (don't ask..)

Definitely appropriate for me.

Done some more form filling for the student loan for my OU course. I don't know why they make me bother as I wont be paying a penny of it back, but you can't fight city hall.

Being disabled (dyslexia and limited use of my right hand and arm) I've also applied for a DSA assistance grant, for which I may or may not qualkify. The Revenue have had enough cash out of me over the decades so the way I see it is it's about time I got something back from the thieving gits.

Bruce is enjoying the fine weather.

Maybe she has to go with them in case consent for treatment is required. The nails not being old enough to consent to any treatment.

but her nails are as old as she is

which is somewhat over 18
(and if it isn;t then I have committed several offences!!!!)

go for it - use the rules to get what you are entitled to
that is what they are there for

I did look it up but I don;t think I qualify for any OU course funding

and I probably couldn;t be bothered anyway - I certainly won;t be likely to go back to working!!!

 

[Drago]

I'll never work again. I just want to challenge myself and fill a bit of time productively.

 

[numbnuts]

I think I have man flu🤧

I get them. I pop them back in the post box marked "not known at this address."

Never had an in person visit from a goon despite the threat-O-grams.

I have a 2012 MacBook Air running Mint, as you said, extremely fast and smooth.
