Not for me.... I think it comes with age...
Different for women, with men it usually goes with age :( In the words of the famous West Country philosopher, the late great Fred Wedlock:
"It takes you all night to do what you used to do all night"
At least we have hifi and music. And the little blue pills, which are great at keeping me from rolling out of bed.
I ordered something from Argos this afternoon and opted to pay £3.95 for same day delivery. I have to admit I was rather sceptical it would arrive today but just four hours after placing the order it arrived. And the bonus was that I had spent over £100 I got a £10 voucher, result.
Speak for yourself, floppy-boy:DQuote:

It's in the garage for a service. Lol
Well it's that time of year again, where the queen wasps are looking for a home. There were three sniffing round the front door yesterday, and all three met their end thanks to my most expensive fly swatter (this month's 'Which' magazine).
I ended up with two nests outside the front of the house last year (although I managed to kill one off with some Nippon nest destroyer), and I'm not putting up with that again. I saw a queen go into the same place yesterday as was used last year, and I didn't see it come back out. Didn't know they re-used nests.
Occasionally if it's in a great spot they will use an old nest.
Nasty things wasp nests.
Last one I had was on inside of door of my shed.
The mate got rid with a shovel and bucket of water
You need to be quick on your feet to get away with that, as I'm told wasps don't like that sort of thing. At the moment the best I can manage is a brisk limp :(

This hot weather has bought out the shortest of short skirts... I'd get arrested if I wore them out though.... :lol:
Ti's OK to wear them here. Lol
Well that's what I've gone at the mo Grant... I just love hot weather.... so liberating.... :eyebrows:Quote:

Was going to go down the chippy yesterday, couldn't because the cops had sealed off the end of the street, some women been murdered. You don't get that every day.

You paint a very appealing picture of life in sunny Portsmouth. :) The tourist board must be rubbing their hands together, but don't let them take advantage of your good nature - an open-top double decker bus stopping outside your house may be your first clue.Quote:

One sunny day a mate was having a birthday party for his four year old daughter, and they had cake, pop, balloons, party games...and a bouncy castle. this woman was banned from using it after some of the other parents complained.
Some of the other mums I assume?Quote:

Just all sitting together outside, enjoying the lovely warm weather, chatting, eating and drinking and having a few laughs - what life's all about!:cool:
Now I need a nice big cappuccino!!
Marco.
I'm sat outside having a capucchino myself, but one of the quality ones, from my £39 DeLonghi Dolche Gusto. A bit extravagant I know, but as they say "Quality is remembered, long after the price is forgotten" :)
Do you do your star jumps on your veranda before or after breakfast? Cause you don't want to be throwing up, the neighbours won't want to see that.
Been sitting the sun all day wearing a slightly longer short skirt, which was nice ... :eyebrows:
I've got a Dolce Gusto machine too, it's great...
Perhaps we should start our own thread: Bev and Steve's Baristas on a Budget with possible future Bum pictures when Balmy...I know the title's a bit wordy but it should knock those snobs off Abstract Chat's top spot.Quote:

Certainly funny to outsiders, but if it were my wife I would be having a word...
On a night out in Preston once, with the husband and a couple of others, and his wife came out too. She got so wasted that she slept all the way home in the taxi, unconscious really, and one of her teddies was peeping out for the whole journey. I brought it to hubby's attention to allow her some dignity, and he just shrugged it off saying "Just let her sleep"
From a distance it may seem amusing, but believe it or not this lack of respect for his wife fell way below the standards of decency I like to see in friends, and we lost touch soon after.
"Baby Sussex"... Who GIVES A FLYING FUCK??:doh::rolleyes:
Marco.
All this royal guff getting on your last nerve again?Quote:

Less telly* and newspapers + more music playing = happier times!
* One Show! Or anything to do with gardening or cookery.
My VCR has packed up, and not being interested in buying another machine, have just thrown out 40-odd video cassettes.
Fortunately most of the titles are still available on VCD and Blu-Ray.
I'd never heard of it either and also had to google although 'baby shark' came up first which is also a thing apparently. Anyway good to see Marco has had a change of heart and is now actively promoting the Royals on the site :DQuote:

only interesting thing that ever happened on breakfast tv was Frank Bough getting done for coke and hookers. And that was years ago.
Yerse, I just lurves 'em (especially the sickening underground peadophile rings, some of the major royals are involved in).............almost as much as I do the chinless wonders in Westmonster, government corruption, and the insidious existence of 'the establishment';)Quote:

Underground paedophile rings? That's another one I haven't heard about, but a google search revealed that they used to be sold at Ratners. Who on earth would wear one? No wonder the company went tits up.Quote:

Interesting, is that a Preston thing or is it widely available?Quote:

Well we're paying Alexa (through Amazon Prime) and it certainly isn't entertaining me right now. Currently playing Crime of The Century on vinyl, and not once has my trusty deck told me it can't play it (although Mrs. P wishes it would) :)
On the subject of 'spy in the home', you may think you're safe by not having Alexa, but your 'Smart' TV knows your viewing habits. And combined with all the posts you put on here with certain keywords (royal, baby sussex, etc), you'll only have yourself to blame when the Royal Baby/Royal Wedding commemorative crap starts landing on your doorstep, so don't be thinking it's mischief on my part :D
Pay you??? We'll tie you down and whip you ....:whippin:Quote:
