If you lived near Duckworth Lane you'd remember Westfield Fisheries selling pineapple fritters :)

I remember the fishmonger had a lisp and if you bought a piece of fish he asked 'Do you want it thkinning?' (Not that I have a problem with lisps, just that I remember it). :D

Hmmm...nope, don't remember, but have seen pineapple fritters. Actually I think the fish place was Marine summink or other.

I always love how offended/shocked/disgusted people get when you add pineapple to ham and cheese pizza. It's like they've never heard of cheese and pineapple on sticks, of gammon with pineapple!!

To the horrified here I've started saying - look, I don't get all het up when you order a pizza with an egg in the middle, although I'd NEVER put an egg on pizza, so leave me to enjoy my fruity, hammy, cheesey pizza and you eat your weird concoction!! LOL (Oh, they do curry pizza here too :shock: :shock: WTAF!! LOL)

Ordered a new panel heater for the man cave/cabin and cleared a few cobwebs and vacuumed the floor in there.

Living on adrenaline me. :eh:

Just back from getting mine and the flue jab. Managed at a local hospital but the wife has to drive 30 miles into Edinburgh first thing tomorrow through rush hour traffic for a covid test. HTF cant they be local also. One test centre 11 miles away then 10 miles the other direction. The hospital we were just at for our jabs then in Edinburgh we drive almost past another three hospitals to get to the one for the fucking test. Its not even the bloody hospital she is getting her OP in. NHS are wank at times.

Covid booster jab at the local pharmacy.
In and out, 5 minutes

My colleague in Suffolk had to wait about 4 hours for his.

Still, two more of us marginally safer...

We don't have a bidet in this house, my kids think it's disgusting that people have a shit and don't wash their arses afterwards. It's hard to get them to come to the UK because they don't like it, and this was the icing on the cake :lol:
My lad has never known life without a bidet, or at the very least a shattaf, so if he goes for a dump here he gets straight into the shower afterwards.

Seriously though, life without a bidet is minging when you're used to one.
I jump in the pool with a soft brush :)

I never wanted a pool but now we have one I have to admit it is very handy, if I'm a bit sweaty or if we've been over the road in the ocean or on the beach then I'll usually just jump into the pool rather than go inside and get a shower, otherwise you can end up getting half a dozen showers a day. Our pool water is cold now (about 24c) so it's refreshing. Even just a five minute dunk between doing work stuff is magic to make you feel refreshed.
Often jump straight in after a cycle ride. Pen filmed me jumping in with all me clobber on :obscene-birdiedoublered:

They've gone seriously out of fashion in the UK :( Looked at a new build some time ago and said 'Wot, no bidet?' and the sales person looked like I'd farted. 'Oh, no. We don't fit those any more, all our builds have at least one shower'. :roll: Most UK bathroom 'suites' don't have one in the range which is :( because they're really useful - besides their intended purpose. Shame.
