Many years ago I was extremely bored at work so spent a fun filled few hours memorising Pi to 22 decimal places.  I can still remember it too, which is quite sad.

I did similar at school, can only remember the first 8 places now. To many Pies, perhaps.

One of my schoolmates was employed at Fylingdales BMEWS.  There were the most up to date computers installed, that six seconds after launch could identify a soviet missile, where it was launched and it's target.

One night he was there alone and set the computer to work out Pi to as far as it could go.

Several hours later it had chugged out the result onto fanfold paper using the dot matrix printer.

I forget how many places but it was a hell of a lot of paper.

Good job the Russians didn't launch any nukes while it was busy.

Was the sudden increase in the consumption of printer paper marked down as an aberration?

Went unnoticed but he was concerned for a while.

Nice street furniture.

I kept hearing odd noises during the night (Thursday).  Not unusual in this house, but different.  Sounded as though there was an animal or bird in one of the bedrooms.  Strange clattering and scuffling.

I did find a cat in a few days ago and all the windows had been open.

Went to investigate and fond nothing.

It occurred several times, still nothing to see.

Yesterday the council did indeed turn up and remove the heap of crap - most of it anyway.  The chair is still there.

It must have been an animal digging about in the heap of crap - hedgehog perhaps, or a fox.  There were a few odd 'animal' sounds as it got light, hard to say what.

Anyone want a nice chair? The legs are only about four inches long, not much better than sitting on the floor.

Living in a flat I have massive driveway/garage/shed envy. Out for a early walk and see this fella whos living the dream.

 

[SherpaMog]

Sick of living in a flat above what used to be a nice pub. Now full of scrapey scum shit people. The police have named the pub as a place renowned for drugs, and I was mentioned by name as a drug dealer by them to the landlady.

Fuck you police. I have never sold drugs ever.

I move in to a property next to the police station next week.

I'm going to start by putting a bike rack outside their front door for me and my children's bikes,  I have the rack and some concrete bolts and some resin, then decide what to do with their garden area, I will probably fence a bit off. 

the actual drug dealers drive AMG mercedes a45s and have never had jobs..............

Just had cause to pop into Liverpool Town Centre , scantily clad beauties as far as the eye could see. I had to bail out lest my blood pressure escalate to dangerous levels.

Seriously though it was nice to see so many people out enjoying themselves in the sun after such a bloody miserable year

You can buy those on eBay.  They can be programmed to play various tunes, including Baby Shark.

Came across this band on Spotify. They sound a right laugh.

Could be a Victorian/Antique Nursing Chair. They can be offered for purchase at quite a bit of money according to the Fleabay

[vulgalour]

It's not going to be older than late 80s, there's a big label on the base that looks like the sort of thing you see post-fire safety regs.  The fabric is very 1990s/early 2000s too, that sort of chintzy reproduction Victorian look.  Definitely looks to be a nursing chair, pretty comfy if you've got the matching stool.  Prices are a bit funny on second hand nursing chairs for some reason but it does seem a shame to throw out what looks like a reasonable condition bit of furniture.

Under GDPR regulations, you could ask the police what information they hold about you.  I think.

I know Comedian and left wing him an rights act Activist did that with both the police and MI5 and Nestle.
