Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

... I remember one evening going to a villa, far outside Athens. The food and company were excellent, but what I remember most was the carpet of stars above us. Some of them even shot across the sky. A few days after finally retiring and moving here in 2011 we visited my family in Ontario. On the w...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Yesterday I had an ugly pendulous wart in my left eyebrow, big enough to affect my sight. Today it's gone. But it was touch and go. Yesterday had a phone call from Dermatology changing the appointment for the procedure. Only half an hour, but usually they don't bother: just see you late. Impressed t...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

After emails and texts from doctor's office asking me to confirm my upcoming appointment, which I did, they called me the afternoon before it to tell me that they were canceling it because the doctor did not take my insurance. ^! A check of the insurance co.'s website and a call to them both confir...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Been down at church this afternoon getting out kit for a visitation tomorrow from all the staff of the Synod (read Diocese, sort of, in our mob.) This is the first of a series of "Officers on Tour" or "Revs meet the Plebs" exercises. This month Derbyshire, next year the world sort of stuff. All the ...

Jimtherev to comment? :-\ :D

Re: Rant of the Day v2.

Just had me car insurance renewal letter. £1800. EIGHTEEN HUNDRED QUID . Ridiculous - the telephone will be busy tomorrow morning. Admittedly, it's been a bit of an unusual year: started when a scrote stole my catalytic converter from outside my front window, and finished last month with two falling...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Afternoon folks. Hot and dry. Very noisy squirrels nesting in the thatch. Traps out, poison out, gun out. Any travelling priests in your part of Bots? Presbyterian Minister, CofE Vicar and RC Priest having a chat together about their bat infestation. Minister: "I put 5 kilos of poison about the bel...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Most interesting story, Jimtherev! There are indeed '....more things under Heaven and the Earth than meet the eye.' Any more to relate? There's one incident which particularly struck me which I'll share some time. But it rambles on a bit, so I'll see if I can do a bit of creative editing and come b...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Front door to house has blown open twice this evening but wind isn't all that strong. 22° in living room yet I feel freezing. Strange times indeed. There have been times when I really wanted to give some sort of smart-arse retort to speculation about the supernormal. But I guess I've come across ab...

The summer weather in the UK generally doesn't get warm enough to overheat the beer, as long as you keep it out of the sun. Just keep it in a bucket of cold water in the shade, that will do it.
Mind you by the time you get to my age you will usually have given up drinking.
Oi! Speak for yourself!

Re: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex

They are supposed to be at the Super Bowl tomorrow. ~X( Since this is just about the most wagered on sporting event and you can bet on just about anything remotely related to the game, I wonder what the ratio of mentions/showings of Taylor Swift vs. TDFKAP (The Dook formerly known as Prince) will b...
