You can't get muff without assistance, Tony the wingman tools for starters.

How’s the peg now @boboneleg?

It’s all lovely where the old part is and where it’s been developed by the seafront but if you walk far enough it comes to an abrupt halt at the end of the shingle. There’s a lot more development going ahead, I could see Salobreña changing from a sweet seaside place used predominantly by the Spanish into something more sprawling and touristy. I’d put money on that abandoned bit being developed in the next couple of years. Then again Motril is next door and they already do all of that stuff so hopefully not!

Action Honda I could live with but snooze Honda nooooooooooooo

276mbps download speed, woohoo. Back in Blighty I get a shitty 13, yep 13! Gonna be streaming me some SAS Rogue heroes when I get back from the supermarket

So long as it’s only on the front page for a month and I don’t have to look at a Honda for the entire year then yer

Strolled for a couple of miles in the sunshine, so many different brilliant blues accompanied by a soundtrack of waves crashing on shingle. Good for the soul. Especially when it’s followed by bacon Some abandoned something or other that Mr Slowly tried to persuade me was an old cinema, even he couldn’t quite land that one

I thought you were referring to Pedro's avi but this is way better

No worries like Pete said sometime ago on the forum that shalt not be named, you wouldn't stop someone speaking if you were sat round a table together and they went off on a tangent, conversation flows the way it does naturally.

I love my husband dearly but he has a touch of restless leg syndrome, it doesn't fully wake me up but if he's not in the bed the sleep quality I get is so much better. Plus I seem to be tuned into when he wakes up and he me. As he often wakes at night so do I. I know we would both get much better sleep if we were in separate beds but it seems wrong somehow. I don't know why? I quite fancy the set up some of the nobility have where there's a marital bed in one room (usually and mahooisve fourposter covered in bedding that you need 2 mortgages to pay for) and then you have your own bedroom. Both of your bedrooms join the marital bedroom on either side and you meet in there for breakfast.. or whatever

You can't say what all women want based on your experience with one woman. I do the vast majority of the DIY and if anything other than the internet needs fixing I do it myself, I also do the housework, childcare, cooking, logistics, anything necessary to keep a happy home and I work. I certainly don't want part time equality. What you sound like you have is an imbalance. Divvying up the jobs in a relationship is tricky because each person brings different skills. Men and women to come preloaded with gender based skills (how many times have you heard a man mocked if he can't fix things? or a woman slated if the children are naughty). If you're unhappy with the set up you have you have to do a reset and say you're not happy with it. When jobs come up that she can't do, show her how. A friend of mine was explaining about how gay men share the tasks that need doing, because it's not gender based they pick what they like, what they're naturally good at and split the jobs neither wants between them. TBH I think wear and tear on couples when their kids are young always provides enough strain to make for a good rage every now n then!

Bit of bacon for breakfast then off to Alcampo to pic up some supplies. The internet has been down since yesterday morning so I'm going to have to be sparing with my data allowance, I seem to be able to chew through 60gb of data no problem

Understandable but unless I’m angry with the other person I always have a reserve for people who found themselves on a daft path because they couldn’t see.

Am I the only one who think's of posh twats saying 'totty' when TOTY is mentioned?

I have to confess his TOTY play has been excellent, monkey worthy on many scores

Is he eyes wide open though? Some people are suckers for falling for the ones that need help or looking after. It isn't until they're in too deep the full extent of crazy is revealed and by that point they're usually believing it's somehow their fault.

Belated birthday wishes. Hope you had a great day.

I like the whole bike and the monkey pic best but can't ignore a monkey pic!

She'll only jump ship n dump him if there's something better on offer... or she's stupid and there's mucho's drama on offer. He's better broken free and then semi repaired than stuck like that forever?

I've ventured over that stuff before when trying to find out what exactly was going on with my own mother, not a barrel of laughs at all, you have my empathy as does your son.

Goddam I wanted the 3D one that show the bike in it's entirety. No matter Pedro's monkey is the winner!

Oh dear I've been TRIGGERED Soz the reply is long, a need to vent occurred. Nope. You can't easily find a butcher's shop full stop. They disappeared when supermarkets bulk buying power and convenience pulled the rug from beneath their feet. The population in the area I live in is over 60,000 so it's not small and yet no butchers. Of the two surviving butchers nearish to me one is half an hour driving plus queueing and the other (like many of them now) is an artisan affair offering meat cuts at triple the usual price. To be fair in some arena's the supermarkets in the UK have done an excellent job of wiping the floor with normal butcher's, the meat quality is stated on the packaging and is generally true, it's usual to have the choice of budget (low quality), average quality and premium plus all sorts of welfare and organic certifications on top of that. If you went to simply buy a chicken there would be about 5 or 6 types in at least three sizes. Fish on the other hand, you're screwed. No fishmongers survived and if you're not after basic common cuts of fish it has to be ordered online. The supermarkets have however mastered frozen and fresh prepared raw shellfish. The prepared shellfish I can buy in Spain is truly awful. Prawns have to be bought whole and raw (otherwise they've been boiled to death) which is hard work if you're used to buying good quality fresh raw peeled and deveined creatures. On the upside the fruit and veg is exceptional!

It's meat with a load of shite mixed in. Unless you're making the burgers yourself (or have a butcher like Pedro's) you're likely to be eating all sorts. My son has anaphylactic level allergies, I've spent 20 years reading or asking for ingredient lists, it's very boring but also shocking what extra crap is in food. They hardly ever contain only what you think they should.

I think she just really didn't want to be recorded, when she appears and realises the camera's on her she can't handle it and disappears behind husbands back. I have some sympathy with that. I do not like having my photo taken or being recorded and my father in law constantly gets a video camera out and shoves it in everyones direction. You feel like a total bitch saying "I don't want to be recorded" but honestly I think he's rude doing it without asking and especially when I don't like it! Not that thats you Pete just saying I understand not wanting to be filmed.
