'Cured pork' would be a better approach. Cured ham is HAM and that needs boiling to death or slicing into gammon portions and frying otherwise the worms will make you blind ... or die

ps I don't mean anything that entices the OP into your vestry.

What are your favourite childhood sweets and what childish sweets do you like now?

Love hate relationship with them. I know they're crap, if sweet old ladies were compressed into sugary discs of powder this is what would make a Parma Violet and yet somehow like disgusting Turkish Delight I will voluntarily put that perfumey crap in my gob again at some point hoping for a different level of joy. For a super concentrated powdery sugar fix I prefer swizzles love hearts. I last had those over 10 years ago so in the main.. no thanks. Hmm this has peaked my curiosity. New thread arriving.

Sounds lovely. I hate walking but I'd walk that! Adding the rowing machine back into the mix with the yoga tomoz. Think it will be so horrible I'll wish I walked

You were bloody missed. Nearly gave up, these curmudgeonly ol' bastards lack of sunny dispositions is very apparent when you're not about

Wot you doing spouting all this common sense? You won’t last long here

Awesome shit. Happy to stumble on this.

Goddam I thought the same thing as Buckster

I’ll go where I can afford a 4 bed student house. Competitive drug dealing could be a selling point heyho heyho its off to crime we go, with a hoody n pick and a shovel of shit, heyho heyho heyho heyho Plus sounds like a bargain bike could be coming my way soon

Nope the people who use them were sent to f*ck with our heads.

Not possible, someone in authority has to judge you a risk!

Don’t tell Pete, you’ll get black listed

@boboneleg just looking at houses in Bristol, fecking hell How much?! I mean HOOOWW MUCHHH?!! Ridiculous. Thought I'll have to look at Kingswood and Lawrence Weston, still ridiculous.

Paramount+ or you can pay for it on Amazon (the UK doesn't have HBO).

Sounds like bliss.

Yep If it ever turns up we'll see

More than bit spendy. I paid £2900 for my Himalayan 1year old with 1800 miles on the clock. €3690 for that? Crikey you wouldn't catch me spending that much on an unknown quantity. Err hang on.. hmm

Read his book which was much better than I thought it would be. Can't stand his fake matey stuff, think he's a bit of a knob but now I've watched that I'm surprised what a nervous person he is, jabbering away in incomplete sentences, jumping from one thing to another, unable to sit still, I wanted to shoot him with my diazepam gun, he'd probably need more than one shot Anyway it made me feel a bit sorry for him, that's a large front he puts on for everyone, I'm sure the person behind closed doors is very very different. Him saying he's certain he's had a mid-life crisis during covid and mentioning having therapy 3 times, stroking his own ego and quite tellingly physically repeatedly stroking his hair made him look out of his depth, it made me want to say "Henry's not up to it today, find someone else!" Might just be me but I don't think it's ok to talk about your children's personality traits in such a defining way to the general public. We have a family rule, you don't chat shit about family to other people, it's disloyal and life can be tricky enough without arming the outside world with knowledge of weaknesses or turning a family member you purport to love into gossip. Not that Henry Cole quite went there but family life IMO should be mostly private. If you enjoyed that @Saul his book is waaay better, it's well written and enjoyable.

Hope everyones got a good Sunday ahead. Some flowers for you and Happy Sunday

Wish I could do that!

Hmm I decided to take "it a bit easy" last night. Today I can confirm whisky hangovers are up there with red wine hangovers.

The rosemary in the sheltered part of the garden is blooming I know there's buggerall snow where we are going skiing. That could be very bad news for my liver!

That makes sense. So kind of eased out of the UK and were ready to go a long time before you actually left.

Can't believe you went out in it, apart from a brief break its been sheeting down all day!
