    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Not sure if this is a universal term or just a Cdn thing.

    Coyote Ugly

    1. one bagger where you put a bag over their head
    2. two bagger.......both of your heads
    3. Coyote ugly - where you'd rather chew your own arm off in the morning versus waking them up so you can get your arm out from under them.

    Watch the TV Saturday......talk I'm hearing from contacts south of the border is...as my friend so eloquently calls them....all the Trump wackadoodles are massing in DC for a rally to support the head wackadoodle. Should provide lots of opportunity to shake the head in wonder.......(meant to be a million plus)

    ......beyond my ability to comprehend.

    Work been going pretty good recently, with several recommendations by email and on company's facebook page, naming me.

    But this leads me onto relating a rather strange thing:

    Last week I fitted some windows and doors for a rather attractive forty-something, who really looked after us with coffees and bacon butties. When i told her my name she said there are far too many Steves in the world. "His name's Steve," pointing at the plasterer), "my ex is called Steve, as is my current(?) partner".

    Everything went well and after being paid a modest tip, she asked if she could give my details to some friends who need some work doing.

    Then a couple of days later while dozing in front of Eastenders or some shite, I got a call from a witheld number. Don't normally answer these, but I was half asleep.

    "Hello, is that Steve?"

    "Yes, speaking."

    "Watch yer f___in' back!"

    "Is that Marco?"* I should mention he had a 'posh' Scottish accent, like he was from Bearsden or Morningside or Paisley. I dunno, I'm not good on accents.

    But he'd already hung up. Mrs. P's theory was that I'd been nice to a customer, and a jealous spouse had found my name in her phone. Thing is I'm nice to everyone, but with so many Steve's knocking about at that job, that seems the likely source. I might just change my name - I've always liked George or Frank. Or maybe I'll have 'the procedure', and change my name to Stephanie. or Doris.

    *I didn't really say that, I made it up.
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    How about chilling out, listening to some music, or watching a movie with your beloved? Is that too radical?

    What would she be doing to fill her day otherwise?

    Well I did organise my van ready for next week, got all my batteries charged, and went down to B&Q. There's also post #17037 on "Spinning Today..." if that's what you mean. Watched 2 movies last night, that's enough for now

    Lol... You're always rather cagey when it comes to discussing Anita.... I'm curious what her hobbies are? I mention Del all the time! So come on, SPILL!

    Do you guys actually do *anything* together, as a couple?

    I've mentioned Anita (Mrs. P) loads of times, just not all the time. We do lots together, and also spend time doing nowt together. But we do also have our own lives to be getting on with - when Del is at work what are you two doing together?

    And over the last 5 years she's been to about 5 shows/bake offs, that's 5 more than I've seen you, so there
