First fire of the season.

Most pubs have bigger TVs and less tat, but it looks like a snug local to me. Dows it do smokey bacon crisps.

Our local council website has a warning about scam penalty notices from them. They say that the penalty notice would be put on your car. If not it’s a scam. Other councils may differ but I’d contact them before paying up.

Aye. And they would have a photo of the notice on your car as well.

You need one of these.

Monthly fee payable only when you use it. Plus the normal toll fees. No change, no tickets to worry about.

I decided to try an experiment. 

"I'm disappointed that I can't seem to find any tea in the kitchen cupboard. There's all sorts of baking supplies, sugar, and coffee, though. Oh well.

Looking at the TV, there are all kinds of German channels, plus a Turkish one, an Israeli one, and Rai 1, 2, and 3 (Italian channels). Now I'm watching Eurosport, and it's snooker with a Dutch commentator.

As I'm writing this, I switched to W Sport, and it's German women's football, but oddly enough, an English guy is doing the commentary.

He's already taken the shot, getting ahead and asking a lot (probably referring to the commentary)."

I think it takes a lot of skill and effort to be so incomprehensible 

[IronStar]

Should I be worried that I understand things he writes most of the time? Have I been exposed to too much txtspeak?

[myglaren]

I'm not one for sport or games, not a single one is of any interest to me, I don't understand why they bother.

But, just saw this that tickled me, especially the little girl's T-shirt.

 

When Allyson Felix became pregnant, Nike was prepared to cut the terms of Felix's endorsement by as much as 70% due to the pregnancy, and told her to “know your place and just run.” 🤯

Amid all of this, she was forced to have an emergency c-section seven months into her pregnancy because of a potentially life-threatening condition and her baby had to live for more than a month in the NICU. But two years later she’s qualified for her fifth Olympics with her daughter watching.

Felix dropped Nike and created her own brand of running shoes, the Saysh One. She is currently running in the Olympics in Japan wearing them under the banner “I Know My Place”. 😏

With 11 medals now, she passed Carl Lewis this summer for the most track and field medals by an American in history!

"I used my voice and built this company for you. So that you never have to train at 4:30am while you're 5 months pregnant to hide your pregnancy from your sponsor
