Morning Ace. Very sad to say that my dad passed away on Monday night. He'd been diagnosed with thyroid cancer back in the summer - things were looking hopeful for a while but took a sudden turn for the worse over the past week. Helping my mum sort things out today. Am doing OK-ish but am completely gutted.

Kinda just got offered a job in the shetland isles working for my rehab! It's about a year away still but quite happy about that

Olly sympometer to the thread please

Got a guy round to look at some windows. "Would you like a brew?" "No thanks! I've got an enlarged prostate!!"

In fact, that's the fire line right there on that hill top.

We need so much more of this

nice 2 parter (press the across arrow halfway up the image)

Meds are crazy atm. My drug charity have put me on 16 mil of espranor which is about 12 mil too much. But I have to take in front of the chemist and I'm a massive junky so secretly I'm sort of enjoying it. But they'll bring me down from the end of the week. Just feels stupid getting a buzz in rehab, this stuff only goes Into your head if you let it in and I'm all numb from this stuff. frustrating but hey ho. Could, and would definitely be alot worse. spoke to a mate who's fallen off the wagon and he said I sound bright and I sound like I've definitely been going to meetings so that's good. He

I saw some graff today that said "feminism is bullshit". They'd spelt feminism rightly, so relieved that it was the opinion of an educated scholar and not some knuckle dragging bollock on legs.

tbf, that David Grey album did give us one of the weirdest TV adverts of all time.

I've decided this is definitely a true story

Nipped into Sainsburys this morning to get a jumper I liked the look of, when I was paying the old geezer on the checkout said it was a nice jumper, I said yeah lovely isn't it, only £16, how do they do it? and he just deadpanned "slavery"

Come on guys let's not be as bad as them yeah? /centrist 1940s Twitter

I feel nauseous whenever I see or hear of him, will be glad to lose him and hope he dies in obscurity.

So anyway, on the subject: The community orchestra currently has a policy of new comers only by appointment. It used to be drop in, but because we can only have a maximum of 15 indoors in specially arranged seating, the place needs to be set up prior to practice. Also only the player is allowed to touch the instrument and we can't got within 2 meters of each other (lol). Anyway, just as we were warming up last night a woman basically barges into the church hall with her guitar basically ready to set up and the head of the community orchestra is like "nooo wait you can't come in" and

Any excuse to post my favourite picture.

i've been chased by a few cougars, or as some people call them "women closer to your own age"

Morning all, last night's weigh-in was 76.8 kg, which means I'm officially no longer overweight according to the NHS BMI calculator. Just in time too, a shop has just opened up the road that sells Biskrem.

Duck!

Morning Gube, morning all. Mega hectic with work at the moment, so will try to bang out a quick review of the weekend now. Me and a couple of friends, as a pre-lockdown last hurrah booked a rustic old cottage in the Yorkshire Dales (Horton in Ribblesdale). FRIDAY Arrived on late Friday afternoon, bit drizzly but okay. Unpacked and headed to the local for a good strong handful of pints and a Cumberland ring in giant Yorkshire pudding with excellent homemade wedges and gravy. 8/10, banging. Pub had two halves... one was covid-central, we were in the other part that was open, spac

how funny would it be if the helicopter crashed!

weather's shit, car needs fixing, humbug. still, my claiming the milk was off made Mrs Gube say "not it's not" and take a big gulp and vom it all out so that was funny.

I had an amusing discovery in the 'phrases uttered by people' area then final para of the intro: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_attractiveness

We put some bird feeders out last week, and have had no real interest, then just now a whole herd of starlings descended on my fat balls!

Just briefed my deputy on what she needs to cover while I'm on leave and I meant to say "I'll be completely incommunicado, so here's my mobile number in case some goes drastically wrong." But what I actually said was "I'll be going commando so here's my mobile number" and now I have to hire a lawyer.

Pumped up the thighs and chest for uni, with the cycling and that.

I love how this also looks like a boney house party

We saw a rainbow, Rita's first where she could understand what it was (a way for lost unicorns to find their way home)

Start me new job on Monday don't I! Hope it involves a LOT of sitting on my arse watching Netflix, because that is my recent work experience.

Lol, I listened to that the other week. Strong nostalgia value but I still liked it. I remember at Reading in 96 my mate bought a box set 7" vinyl collection of that album... half a dozen records, a song per side... just so he could get it signed by Shirley Manson because he was desperately in love with her. We queued up at the long queue at the signing tent for AGES and in the end I wandered down to the front to see what was going on to discover that this wasn't a queue... It was a crowd of people stood at the viewing barrier that had sort of morphed into a queue by dozens and dozen

Catchy.

Work starting on the flat tomorrow
