My recreational drug policy is “yes please”.

Well done Calder Valley, Labour take from Conservative. Sadly though, that is largely by virtue of people voting for Reform instead of Conservative. Only a 2% vote increase for Labour, 15.4% increase for Reform. Most of those Reform votes will have come from the area I live in too I’m sure, Craig Whittaker was very popular here. ?

Sorry to hear that OP, that’s shit.  Try looking at things this way now – this person has just smashed you to bits emotionally and is thinking only of themselves, yet you are putting them on a pedestal and trying to continue the relationship with them.  Sounds a bit daft, doesn’t it?

Cut ties, communicate only when you need to sort something out with the house or whatever and get on with your life. They are not worth your emotional investment.

Time, as mentioned, is a great healer and it will heal more quickly than you think. All the best 👍

Most eurocamp style accommodation doesn’t have an oven (just a hob), so bear that in mind for your cooking plans 👍

Bollox. Writing was on the wall when it went to penalties unfortunately. 3 great saves though

A little top up would be ok, but don’t just chuck it all in.  Without knowing how big the pond and paddling pool are, it’s difficult to say what a “little top up” would be 🙂

Also depends what’s in the pond, some things are more sensitive to water chemistry changes than others

Flynn also popped up in the Coldplay crowd, he had a good weekend by the looks of it 😂

It would seem that Mr Fox has played with Coldplay before, consider my cynicism revoked 🙂

I also enjoyed Coldplay, a fantastic show. Was a bit taken aback by Michael J Fox’s appearance and I’m still not sure who benefitted from that; it seemed a bit contrived and a bit virtue signally (but then I’m a cynical bastard and probably overthinking it!).

Complete antidote to that was catching the Mary wallopers as recommended by colournoise, never have I wanted a can of Guinness with breakfast before 😂

+another for Coleman extreme. Mine will do 3 days easy, especially if I really cool it down before use (stick some bottles of frozen water in there overnight before I pack it next day). Don’t keep opening it is the main thing, nothing will stay cool for long if you’re opening it all the time.

The electric cat thread

UK Erection!

That’s not singing, it’s just shouting.

I never said he could sing 😁

(Grandad)

I recommend everyone check out confidence man, they are flipping ace. Bit of a leap from IDLES mind 🙂

IDLES – what a glorious f***ING noise.  Joe Talbot is a great front man 🙂

Love it, what an unbelievable performance that was. Go on Georgia 😁

Georgia are nailing this. Just hope they don’t run out of steam 🙂

Listening to Andy Robertson, he was clearly in a different game. “Gave it everything” – no, you bloody didn’t! 15 mins of slightly up tempo football at the end of a dismal display doesn’t equal everything. Or if it does, that’s why you’re going home.  I’ll never understand why teams in that position don’t just go balls out and to hell with it; out if you lose, out if you draw – just bloody go for it!

His replacement is a unit, bloody hell. Looks more like a rugby player!

Crap photo, but I don’t care, it was in the garden and I’m chuffed to bits to see one 😁

You’ve obviously never had a long hair wrapped around your uvula

I’ve had uvulitis, it was **** horrible. Wasn’t caused by a hair though 🙂

Accidentally wiping dog shit into my beard was pretty disgusting (it was on my brake lever, and then on my fingers and then I ended up smearing it on my face). I was on my way to work too 🤢

Kings of Leon in Leeds tomorrow, one for the Mrs really but looking forward to a night out.  Yard act/English teacher/fat dog and ultimate thunder in Millennium square in August.

Going to a gig, and will be pleasantly surprised when it’s still light afterwards 🙂

Then like Dave, will remember that it is now going to get darker, earlier. 😕

Plenty of random unrecognisable ones, some known but random numbers (including Hora, how the heck I have his number is a mystery!), but what’s most sad is the number of people in my contacts that are now dead 😕

Is it a new frame? Last time I had something like that it was the frame that was out of whack

I’ve decided to kill my children. It ain’t easy being green 🙂

Body found.  Bugger 😕

As a solution, it sounds fraught with failure possibilities! ‘Tech solves everything’ is great until it doesn’t, your party has no music and you’re stood there trying to figure out why it’s stopped working 🙂

Buy some long audio cables, or a speaker loud enough to only need one 😁

So bloody bored.

Know anyone that can lend you some Sonos speakers or something like that? Or if you’re happy to spend some cash, then you can buy Bluetooth speakers that can be linked together and play the same music in different rooms.

Cheers RNP, I’ll give that a whirl 👍

Cheers RNP – most of that way beyond me if I’m honest 🙂

As the issue has persisted over a battery and starter change, I suspect it probably isn’t a dmf problem (hopefully anyway!). Dodgy electrics somewhere I hope – wondered if it might be the clutch position switch, but that wouldn’t make it lazy to start.

Scruffy – yes it did, thinking about it.  Battery voltage (standing) seemed ok last time I checked it though

I did check the charging with a meter and it seemed ok (as in, voltage went up after starting).

Cheeky day off

It’s not raining
