Being able to pause live tv. Itâs fucking great, isnât it? You can pause as the adverts start, go and do something and then forward through. Itâs been the best tv invention since the remote control.
Do you watch live TV because itâs live or you just happen to be around when itâs live?
Apart from breckkie news TV during the week I canât remember the last time I watched live / scheduled programmes. My folks watch TV as per the TV guide, but theyâre well oldâŚ
Finding out the planning permission to build 4 new flats on top of our (just 2 year old) block of flats so that the leaseholders (who bought it a year ago from the developer) can make a few mill has been rejected. Early xmas present to us residents. I am so pessimistic I thought it would be agreed.
Driving home from the game today, I passed a Hillman Imp on the M27. That pleased me. Not passing it, just seeing someone pootling along in a Hillman Imp. That said, Iâm happy that it was someone else driving it - I wouldnât feel that way if it were a Citroen DS.

So was a bit worried about the traffic this morning. Wasnât doing the normal run. I had a meeting at 10:30am in Poole, so swerved the A35 and Christchurch in general. Didnât bother following the satnav - just followed the road signs, once to my peril. For some reason, there are a couple of roundabouts that you have to go straight over, but the signs point you to the first exit. Perhaps zey are confusing ze Germans Confused the fuck out of me as the country lane I had to u-turn on looked like it was heading nowhere but a cowâs arse.
However, I got there eventually, and my keen(ish) sense of navigation brings me in on the road that skirts the lake.
It was not unlike OutRun.
minus the red ferrari convertible and leggy blonde passenger?
Yes! Science proves that men having a cold is worse than whatever women moan about, like childbirth and shit.
Of course itâs worse than child birth.
Ask yourself how many times you have heard a man say âwouldnât it be nice to have another cold?â
Not everyday sadly but today I got half of my retention bonus.
Have some respect @pap , thatâs the Holes Bay that is, itâs not a lake!!
Did you notice the reduced 50mph speed limit around the bay? That was because twats in their Subaru Imprezzas (are they still a fashion item) decided to leave the road on more than one occasion. Obviously the gently curving roads are too much for an Imprezza doing 100mph!!
We get 2 payments a year. One colleague resigned last week, another today. I donât think my manager could cope if I did. Though I am applying for another job. Ahhh donât tell him.
Fresh bread. home cooked ham. yummy cheese. home made pickled onions.
Umm I will have some form of cooked pig today
