Where's that pic from the Simpsons, I believe it goes something like Ha, Haa

 

Like this?

 

"Hello, I'm Ken and a recovering Shiteoholic." :)

 

Well there's me hurtling myself off the wagon then. I lasted a month which wasn't bad for me.

That's the one.

 

Two of my dogs have just been arguing in their sleep, they're both lying next to me, Bess has been growling in her sleep and Bernie has been wuffing back to her, until she did a big woof and woke herself up. Unfortunately she also woke Toby the Bastard who has decided that it must be time to go out again

:D It is funny when they do that, I like it when they bark loud enough that they jump up & switch 'on guard' mode while looking confused as hell about what woke them up.

Motability car has to go back.

They usually give you 2 weeks use after a death, but due to Xmas/N Year, BCA can't collect until 2 Jan so I can use it until then free.

Also refunding a percentage of our initial payment, £333 sir. Also RSA will give me proof of NCB.

 

Thank you very much. Can't say fairer than that.

At least a little good news there Mally. I didn't comment on grumpy thread so I'd like to say I'm extremely sorry for your loss. I met you at shitefest 2017.

They are served with a giant pig-in-a-blanket - a battered foot-long sausage - and a deep-fried mince pie on the side.

How is that remotely like a PIAB? It's not wrapped in bacon! The average chippie saveloy is generally pretty lacking in anything resembling meat too, but that's another issue...

I do enjoy it when the supermarket stocks foreign foods.

Definitely my second favourite Scottish beverage, I am contractually obliged to say Dewar’s Scotch Whisky is my favourite.

 

Apologies for the 70s lounge content, I don’t do fashion.

Are there no Tunnock's Teacakes to go with that?

That's got to have a limited audience?

RAC renewal came through. £265. Five minute phone call, down to £155 for 15 months cover. Negotiating pays off. Quite pleased with that.

 

 

One’s too many, ten’s not enough!

Cheers Dean, I had forgotten, but seem to remember you being much younger than me.

Mind you that description fits most people.

You do, or at least the NHS does on your behalf. We've got an 80" £8k TV slung on a wall about 20ft up so no one looks at it displaying a few crap slides in the main entrance. We laughed & said 'WTF?' when told it was coming but it seems the board think it's worthwhile...

Redacted the important bits, pics to follow. Also, this will be free to any resident Cortina lickers, please form an orderly queue.

His wife was heard saying "I thought you said we were getting into money laundering"

I've come in from work more times than I care to mention, chucked clothes in washer and gone shopping only to find - no wallet :(

Gone back home and found wallet in the trousers in the washing machine.

Oxblood leather wallet - cash stained orange as a Trump.

Back to shop, pay for shopping with card and send the cash off to the B of E to be credited to my account.

Not done it recently as I now have a plastic wallet that doesn't bleed dye when it gets wet so no need to launder it.

Far too much TV time....

Last night I caught a rerun of Graham Norton's show from Friday night and couldn't be arsed to reach for the remote, so I watched it.  First guest, Jamie Oliver.  Looking exactly like John Travolta in Pulp Fiction! :)  Then there was this wrestler on, who's in some new fillum... who smiled just like Buster Keaton used to, or possibly Joe E. Brown in Some Like It Hot.  It was almost worth staying awake!
