Drink a little more vodka, play some Mario Galaxy and get myself a good nights sleep.

I bought a book on knots from a charity shop. My life moves at such a furious pace :)

Just because I'm the kind of guy who finds Ray Mears interesting. And I like to know these things.

Plus I need to get my scubidoux fix.

Nah, seriously, I'm making friendship bracelets for my daughter and I'm looking for more innovative ways of tying them off.

My forays into /talk are generally productive and interesting. Wormulus got in a right strop the other night. It was quite fun.

I have even developed a new name to taunt the aresholes their further.

But that said, it is a funny place to post if you are in the mood, don't write it off unless you've tried it. The majority of people are quite funny.

not actually here for long tonight. My mum is coming round. I'm not sure if she loves me or my sky+ box more! I suspect it's the sky+ box, actually. She is way too tight to actually pay to see a film at the cinema, so she waits until it's on sky then gets me to record it for her.

we're all well (now) ta. We had a spell just a week or so back where we all went down with various bugs, one after the other. Like dominoes. The only exception was the tummy bug, which hubby didn't get, the jammy sod. I lost half a stone in a week. It was deeply unpleasant.

MBD, we, how shall I say, struck a deal with Sky. Free sky+ box, keep the old box, for no installation costs and no extra money per month, and in return we don't transfer our business elsewhere .... you have to threaten to cancel before they make you a decent offer.

@MDB
get a mirror with sticky pads and stick it to your wall, you can rinse it with the shower head to stop it steaming up and then you can check what your doing while shaving.

Since, as chickenlady put it earlier today, I look like the laughing cavalier, a mirror is essential to make sure my handlebar moustache stays level on both sides.

It started out as leek and potato. Now it's leek, potato, onion, sweet potato, celery, cabbage, courgette, mushroom, and lots of fresh herbs from the garden. It smells divine but won't be ready to eat until at least 11 o clock, which is a funny time to be having dinner.
