No Marco. I'm not keen on meat really, corned beef and bangers are about it. I like poultry and fish though.

Ah I see... So when you have a fry-up, it's just 'bangers' for the meat content? Pork and ham are from the same animal, though...;)

I have sausages for an occasional change. Not fussed if I eat meat or not, mostly I don't.

None whatsoever and it didn't even look real, too small. You'd think a Dutch cop would know that as they all carry weapons.

Of course arriving back in the UK there was no customs check at all, just get off the plane, walk down a corridor and you're out on the street.

I suppose a box of grenades and a couple of Makarovs would be a 'no-no' then? :D

Yes, except that security at a half a dozen different airports had no issue with it prior to that. And not going to put my house keys in a check in bag as if they lose it I can't get back into the house.

I wear a chain round my neck when out, with a front door key (and a medical alert tag) on it.

Apparently they are banning POAO (products of animal origin) in sandwiches, so cheese is also a "no no" - one of the customs blokes said something about "welcome to post Brexit" when the ham sandwich was confiscated. Wouldn't even let the driver keep the bread as it had been in contact with, and contaminated by, a POAO (also the butter to think about here :doh:).

This got me thinking about what else could be put in a sandwich? Tuna possibly, or would that be in breach of the new fishing agreement?

Fair enough, but I do hope that we will be doing the same to drivers coming in to the UK (somehow I doubt it)

Well they can stick their Gouda up their arse and fart through the holes :(

Watching Trifonov's piano performance on Sky Arts just now reminded me of why I disliked playing Chopin as a youngster. Music shouldn't be about showing off.

We haven't had any post delivered here for the last week - there have been several Covid19 casualties in our local sorting office. In fact one of my near neighbours who works there recently fell victim, but luckily has recovered and is now back at work.

So today I was very surprised to receive four Christmas cards and an out-of-date copy of the Radio Times!

That's why I'm not an admirer of Lang Lang.

Nearly had an altercation with an old guy in the supermarket (must've been in his late 60s, or 70), as he was clearly leering/perving at Del because she had a little skirt on...:rolleyes:

It was Del who told me, as she'd noticed him and just laughed, but it pissed me off. I just left it though, as she didn't want a fuss and kind of felt sorry for him, but he was making it so bloody obvious, the dirty old bugger!!

I can laugh now, but at the time it was kinda creepy, Anyway, thought I'd give you lot a giggle... That's about as exciting as life has been here recently!:D

At least he had somewhere to hang his shopping bags.

:lolsign:

Thing is, her skirt wasn't that short mainly black with a a touch of pink), and she had black opaque tights on with Doc Martin ankle boots (they were pink though, lol), and a black coat, so not exactly 'provocative'!:doh:

I guess we can laugh, but what if she'd been on her own? The shop was pretty quiet (and smaller inside because it was Lidl).

Well, peoples’ idea of provocative varies wildly. I’m sure nothing would have happened mate. Probably just a lonely chap who likes looking at the ladies.
16-01-2021, 21:58

Yeah, perhaps. I was more bothered than Del, she just laughed and whispered to me what an old perv:D

I'm sure you wouldn't want it happening to your girlfriend, though!

You can get some strange folk living in the provinces, come down to London mate, you know it makes sense as someone famously once said.

Pink Doc Martins, and she was getting funny looks ? Really. :)

Wayne Hemingway made a tidy sum spray painting Doc Martins.

Indeed, and Del likes them because they're quirky. She wore Docs a lot when she was a punk (which she got into late), in all different colours, and now because they keep her warm, plus one of her favourite colours is pink:)

Judge for yourself. Here are the boots and skirt she had on [pics from the makers in question], as I said with a black jacket and black opaque tights. She has an art and fashion/textiles degree, so likes quirky clothes):

I think that looks ok:)

Certainly nothing for anyone to get 'excited' about, I shouldn't have thought - even a 60-odd year old perv, lol!:D

I used to wear docs when younger. Red of course. They are comfy but always split at sole so stopped. I see they are silly money now. I wear crocs now [emoji23]
They are comfier for me and I can get them on/off
The guy was probably saying to himself that guy is letting his daughter wear punky clothes [emoji23]

:lol::lol: Ya cheeky bugger - I don't look that old!:D

Yeah, she likes Docs for, as she puts it, 'bombing about in' (as she's always going around at 100 miles an hour and can't sit still for 2 mins, which is the opposite from me), and of course they're comfy and keep her feet warm.

Not cheap either, as you say, I got them for her birthday, after receiving a 'want these' email, lol.

I t was always Kicker boots for me. Bright red. Really comfortable and quite hard wearing. When I bought my first pair in 1977, they were £29. They still make them, and they go for around £65. Doubling in price in about 40 years. I think that's quite cheap, probably made in China though.

Been thinking of getting some more lately, might choose a different colour.

Now is the time to fully reveal the T shirt I wore to the Penkridge bake off. Those who were there will have seen it as will those that attended the following Kegworth event.

https://i.imgur.com/quJtT4w.jpg

However I have expanded my repertoire from loud trousers now I have found something equally colourful:

The colour choice is described as 'rainbow', right up my street:

Coming to a bake off near you soon...
