Was dragged out of bed to be enthralled by the grainy images. Wasn't it on a school day?

That and David Hemery winning gold at the Mexico Olympics - my mum was the sports fan, my dad just wanted the moon
Next morning at school was kind of quiet as I recall.

I was walking through Morrisons car park on Saturday when  a  woman and (I assume) her mother arrived at their car with a trolley of groceries. The daughter asked the older woman "Do you want these in the boot or in the car?" The older woman's reply......... "Yes". 🤪

Group of middle aged people with dogs having a natter at a junction as I pull up in the Princess.  I hear through the slightly open window "Cor, a Princess!" from the one bloke, which made me grin, especially since he didn't appear to be able to drum up any enthusiasm from the others stood nattering.

Got the otherwise fairly miserable task of putting the last of my grans stuff for sale, her old clothes on Vinted. Apparently the manufacturer of this top she bought didn't bother replacing the label text with their own.

Ah yes, that well known fashion brand, Sample Text

8am this morning: squatters discovered in my villa. Fucksticks. 
 

11am: big juicy promotion. Unfucksticks. 
 

1:30pm: squatters binned. Double unfucksticks. 
 

What a rollercoaster of emotion.

They have a photo of you behind the bar.

This is what you would call a "survivor car" one of the first batch of HQ registered Laguna II's made it to over 22 years old, I had one of the same batch at 2-3 years old and I don't think it made it to 6 yrs old due to the absolutely appaling build quality

Having met vulgalour on a few occasions, (and I mean this in a genuinely complimentary way), that he is the only person who could adequately describe what he was likely to be wearing

[vulgalour]

I'd like to say I've toned things down and matured since then.  I haven't.

Sounds like they must be a bit more assertive about evicting squatters over there than they are here...

I follow several farmers on YouTube and among the small farms there is a lot of improvisation and fun things that happen like below, his mate has bought a combine in another US state and shipping is expensive so they haul it home like below over a considerable distance. And the police didn't stop them either.

They’re not, we got very lucky here. If they went 72 hours undetected in there they can stay in there for up to two years
