Thats great news. Congrats to both of them. My eldest who is home for Christmas announced it was just easier for him to live here and as the landlord had increased their rent by £100 unless he reduced it back down he'd be moving back end of June. Love having my boys home but it's amazing how quickly you get used to not running around after everyone else... looking into buying a place in Bristol

Have you tried having electrolytes in your last glass of water? Just plain ones. Same as some people retain too much sodium some people retain too little, and for some it's self imposed by concerns about blood pressure and the old (incorrect) advice about drinking at least 4 pints of water a day, the bodies reaction is to get rid of the excess fluid to keep the electrolyte balance correct. Quite a few night time pee'rs find it a good solution. https://eletewater.co.uk

Aways find myself wondering what they died of when it's deliberately omitted.

Yer but old bikes seem to be ok in Brizzle so no excuse not to take your little bundle for a nice lunch

Blimey they are some extensive slightly complicated rules they're bringing in. 7 out of 10 cities prohibiting approximately 75% of traffic from city centres from 2023 I've been riding through 2 that where introduced a while ago in Valladolid and Madrid. Granada's on that list as is Motril. Fortunately foreign polluters don't count and our bikes are compliant anyway so no biggy but it's going to be interesting seeing the mass ditching of old cars.

I meant having to pay attention and recast your vote, whatever suits.

A bit time consuming at this time of year?

I like the coloured film footage they do now technology’s moved on. When they started doing it it was so clumsily done it ruined the footage but now it make it seem more real. The footage they’ve done that shows people smiling and milling around outside their doors completely oblivious to what’s coming is always chilling.

No chance of sweat, you’ll be too cold

Delayed UBI, don’t know wtf I’ve done to my neck but it’s not happy. Woke me up multiple times, might have to move into old people territory and start taking painkillers before I go to sleep

Most kind

and a bit of a screw loose.

Same here. The Brit supermarket about half an hour away has started delivering to Salobreña but they charge €12 to deliver which I thinks a bit steep. But good news the 100mls liquid security restrictions are going to be phased out over the next couple of years and you'll be able to take what liquids you like in your hand luggage. The end of decanting stuff into miniature bottles that don't hold enough will be over. Well for the flying out of Britain part at least.

Not cheap but they'll post most things.. except mince pies https://www.britishonlinesupermarket.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1PTDzcCD_AIViLbtCh2zQgMOEAAYASAAEgL67PD_BwE

Apparently he wanted to go to Hong Kong because they don't have a sexual offence register. Honestly I really wouldn't mind if they just chopped their nadgers off.

Cheers

It’s a bit now n then so here you go. I love these machines. The skill and effort put into making these gorgeous things mean you can buy a machine that’s 100 years old and it still works perfectly. Saville Row tailors still use these old singer sewing machines because there’s no other machine that comes close to the quality of the neat top stitch. I’ve wanted one for a long time and did buy one in 2019 but when I picked it up the needle plate was missing. It was very frustrating at the time because the guy I bought it from just kept saying it must have fallen off in his garage and he’d post it to me…… grrrr. I’ve poured over hundreds of these machines and it’s extremely rare to find one with the gold paint intact. The gold paint (and it really is gold) used is protected by a thin layer of shellac and is easily damaged usually where your hand would rest to push the fabric through. I’m very excited that this machine is going to be mine. I feel pretty lucky to have bought a piece of history, as if I’ve walked into a museum and bought a gorgeous exhibit. Anyway I know it’s unlikely to be anyone on here’s thing but I’m certain there are a few who appreciate the mechanical beauty of it. It was a choice between one from 1928 and this one from 1955. I wanted the 1928 one just because of it’s age and the lovely domed bentwood case but this one was in significantly better nick and is sold by Singer sewing machine centre who serviced it and demonstrated it’s in good working order. Bit of geek out history- 1858 SINGER brand introduces the first lightweight domestic machine “the Grasshopper” @Grasshopper Expanding fast with nearly a million square feet of space and almost 7,000 employees they produced on average 13,000 machines a week in Scotland, In the First World War sewing machine production gave way to munitions. The Singer Clydebank factory received over 5000 government contracts, and made 303 million artillery shells, shell components, fuses, and aeroplane parts, as well as grenades, rifle parts, and 361,000 horseshoes. It’s labour force of 14,000 was about 70% female at war's end. From its opening in 1884 until 1943, the Kilbowie factory produced approximately 36,000,000 sewing machines At the height of its productiveness in the mid 1960s, Singer employed over 16,000 workers but by the end of that decade, compulsory redundancies were taking place and 10 years later the workforce was down to 5,000. Financial problems and lack of orders forced the world's largest sewing machine factory to close in June 1980, bringing to an end over 100 years of sewing machine production in Scotland. The complex of buildings was demolished in 1998

They won’t have him back and the paedo sold his place there a while ago.

Let's see where the freak goes, place your bets... Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand.

I think I had a lot of fun, it's a tiny bit hazy

Hungoooooverrr

That’s made me hungry, I’d better start cooking

There’s never enough sauce for a Brit

Morning mingers Kind of got the day off and the requests for dishes are in. Murgh Makhani, Begum Bahar, King prawn Korma, Samosa’s, Padron peppers, mushroom rice, poppadoms n chutneys, garlic naan followed by icecream n a nice cocktail for pud. Not making the naans or the poppadoms because it’s not worth it for the few bites they get. Pudding I’m going to do the ‘Screaming O’ a lovely cocktail of vodka, baileys, kahlua, amaretto n cream. Well worth the effort. It’s still fecking freezing but the blanket of ice over the field has made everything feel very Christmassy
