omegod Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Just back from a gathering of all my old pals, we surprised a mate who's had a couple of bereavements and had been feeling a bit low, his face when 15 of us burst into his local pub in Mellor in Blackburn was a picture , I was a bit anxious about meeting them all for some reason but we had a bloody good laugh so feel like my soul has been recharged a bit . I haven't drank that much for years though and feel like a rung out Chamois today Banger Kenny, Coprolalia, Remspoor and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beko1987 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Been here all morning, in and out of the river, hauling shit out etc. Fell over a few times it was good fun. Until halfway home and I realised I didn't have my keys... Fuck. Shit. We walked back but there was zero chance of finding them. So we headed home to think of a plan B... (had called Amy who still has a front door key but she's out and 3 hours away...) Imagine my delight when we walked up to the house and saw them sitting in the front door 😂 Made me think we need a safe space for them when we next fuck around in the river, I nearly shit myself several time. Also means I probably live in a decent neighborhood as their open to the world to see sat in the front door.

Remspoor Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Well done for cleaning up the river. But I would be blowed if i would enter it. Unless you intentionally wanted a "bubble bath" made of some unknown chemicals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you intentionally wanted a "bubble bath" made of some unknown chemicals. Unless there's something industrial upstream discharging dodgy stuff('entirely legally discharged' sewage makes itself known pretty obviously so it's easy to give it a miss) the rainfall at this time of year means you're not likely to be exposed to anything troubling, although drinking it isn't to be recommended. 13.7 shite points to @beko1987 for cleaning it up. beko1987 and Coprolalia 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Ironically it's right next door to a gravel quarry, which itself has a water treatment plant next to it 😂 (the turds from my house go there...) and the whole thing was a huge waste dump 70/80 years ago apparently... From previous urbex-ing/trespassing though the entire area is floodplains and the culvert comes from the Thame football club grounds and associated ditches.

That's a lucky date because there won't be much if anything super harmful that remains/was dumped. If it were a dump from the 1960s and 1970s I'd be running for the hills.

Think it’s the bottom arm and top arm bushes they all wear away together and they are a pain to replace, although if someone has more information on this please enlighten me Snake Charmer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurious Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Went to the dentist expecting needing a wisdom tooth out. Don't like dentists. Don't like extractions. Turns out all that effing awful pain was just some debris. Tooth feels better. I don't feel grumpy. twosmoke300, myglaren, paulplom and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Jetter Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Just rung my dentist for a check-up, as they cancelled my last one in April 2020 and haven't contacted me since. 1st available is mid July FFS. Plus the dentist I've had for 20+ years is retiring at the end of this month which is a tragedy, he is brilliant. Remspoor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
