I've read many a fantastic theory about Shakespeare's works being written by another, but never Willy Wonka.

My local woods. Lovely in the winter sunlight.

I'm quite blessed where I live as I can be in the West End in less than 20 mins on a fast train, yet have a lot of greenery around here.

Jodie Comer saves her son after an apocalyptic event, which was more or less a bit of flooding in London. Society then breaks down, her family fall to pieces and she walks a lot.

Not good. Not bad. Just not worth it.

I got that impression, and the bizarre thing is, Screwdriver said that would happen 68 pages back in this thread and just look...he'been proven right again.

What's the logic behind Presidential pardons anyway? Why should anybody be able to overturn due legal process? Why is that privilege still available in 2024?

You don’t have to neck it by the bottle….

I must have missed that memo.

Sydney the twat-arse Border Collie wears a hi-viz vest that states, in clear letters each side, 'Do not pet - anxious dog', coz she is. Some people seem to take that as a challenge, not a warning. :eh: Last year some woman who works at the local bakery did just that, and got a nip for her trouble. I...

Had a nose around ebay and picked this up for £130. Been playing with it and it seems OK. If I end up not using after the holiday it I'll stick it back on ebay.

Well done.

Is now a good time to crack the old joke, 'I want to die quietly in my sleep, just like my grandad the bus driver...not screaming in terror like all his passengers'?

I haven't got a lock up? Oh!

Looks like one of them police photos when they raid a lock-up owned by the local pikey villains.

There is something very pleasing about crunching the crystals that form in a good cheddar...

Mercifully little. Out round friends tonight. AFAIK, not much Saturday, although I have been tripping over the three huge bags containing Christmas trees currently laying on the landing for a few days, which I think is a subtle hint... I moan about putting them up (as I do about most things, to be f...

It's that time of year that Waitrose do their 20% discount on any six bottles of wine. Hence it's time for Mrs. G to drag her sister into Waitrose to buy a shed load of wine and get extra discount by using the Partner Card. Let's just say it makes the wine very good value indeed. :shhh: And the 12 b...

Camp coffee?

Also, Panettone makes a bloody lovely Bread and Butter pudding, when adding in a few bits of high-cocoa chocolate and a few dollops of good marmalade before pouring over the egg custard and baking.

I definitely don't 'get' pannettone.

I found two Eccles cakes in the freezer today and have eaten them both.

Black Friday be damned.
