Does the name Shaun Greenhalgh mean anything

He was the forger who fooled the art world until he got caught

Just watching Made In Bolton on iplayer BBC4

The man is immensely talented in a health robinson kind of a way and it's quite fascinating watching him make copies of various works of art

Edit to clarify: they're a local "green" alternative to deliveroo, they currently offer two restaurants, one of which is a burger restaurant that serves almost exclusively beef and has a Nissan Navara they use for their own deliveries.

They're cunts. Where would an extremely satisfied customer post reviews of this delivery service?

Definitely not here https://www.facebook.com/yumecoeats/

In their defense after blocking me they unblocked me and someone with a different manner of typing sent a message that they'd removed all of the adverts and they'd be "reconsidering" their advertising ethics in future. I think they'll fail on their own fairly quickly.

Does anyone but the tree huggers care how their food is delivered as long as it's hot.

The under 40s are probably responsible for most of it with their me me me I want it now lifestyles

Planning a collection caper which is promising to be full of win.

 

Cheap car - check

Megabus for almost 5 hours - check

Pay for Megabus with Clubcard points, needed to pay an extra £1.16 so paid with PayPal balance which occurred due to Delay repay on trains - check

 

So win win win!

Could go on about where they get some of the chemicals for the wonderful batteries in their electric cars, child soldiers are quite often involved, I like to point out they are Blood Batteries when these twats get all pious.

As I pointed out to said "tree hugger" my carbon footprint for the last 5 years is definitely less than his for the last 6 months and outside of milk bottles my household produces basically no plastic waste and I don't even heat the house. So he can FRO.

I dislike the attitude held by much of my own generation to the world. It's so far off my own lifestyle it's unbelievable.

They have one Zoe and a small fleet of ex-deliveroo cyclists. It's always the guy listed as the company director driving the Zoe so I think he got it for his birthday and he decided to start a delivery company.

It's halt that time of year when some people* start posting on Facebook that is actually Christmas because they've seen the Coke advert with the lorry. Cunts. This makes me angry.

However, there is a new Coke advert with two old ladies using a dating/shagging app. One of their potential suitors is this chap, Woolarding on an Opel Monza (or a Senator?). 

*fucking twats

My favourite step-niece-in-law (sister's stepdaughter!) has just returned from six months' overland trekking.  Her bloke went out to Sydney to meet her and they flew back together after a holiday in Oz.  Today, on a windswept Hampstead Heath, he popped the question and luckily she replied in the affirmative.

This makes me very happy.

My now brother in law ( 12 or so years now) lugged a bottle of champagne and diamond ring up and down several mountains in the Lake District waiting for the right time.

Chester has taken a deep and irrational dislike to the new and clean duvet cover. He has done everything on it today short of wiped his arse! Currently under it snoring with a Jumbone between his paws. Phoebe meanwhile is laying NEXT to her specially bought giant pillow. I bought it for her to keep her old and aching bones more comfortable and she refuses to sleep on it, but loves sleeping next to it, tip of her nose and one paw are comfortable at the moment

I was walking the dog past asda a couple of weeks ago , a car backed up to a large bank of outdoor lockers with a screen in the middle of them, a guy about 25 got out, punched a code in and one of the lockers opened , I watched him pull some plastic bags full of food out, put them in his boot and drive off

so they now have a about 30 refrigerated lockers OUTSIDE a shop that's open 24 hours a day apart from sunday evening , fucking lazy cunts , it's shit like this they ought to be protesting against, 24/7 refrigeration just because some lazy twat doesn't want to do his shopping

The horrible bastard who my daughter had the 'trouble' with got sent down for a year yesterday.  It should have been more, but the fact he's been sent down is good enough, even if he only does do 6 months or something. I'm not a violent person, nor usually condone it, but it'll be a dreadful shame* if he gets the shoeing of a lifetime, several times over. You can't hide, even in prison.

[brownnova]

Let’s hope they give him the slippiest soap in the shower.... 

[wuvvum]

He'll be inside for Chrimbo as well, which must equate to an extra couple of months on its own.

I just got a surprise parcel!

Thank you

Well this is a bit brilliant. After filling up with 15.71 litres of the finest Applegreen petrol, the MPG readings were calculated as... 70MPG? You must be joking....

 

But wait! there's more. Brother Fumbler is quids in too, with his car making a magnificent 16 (!) MPG last fill.

I filled up a couple of days ago and  it came up as 43mpg - around 10mpg more that I usually get.

Downside is that it has been my son driving mainly, I only did an 80 mile round trip to Teesside

Almost 600 miles on less than a tank. Enough left for around 60 miles when the light comes on.
