Parents just shove a phone or tablet at their kids

That's what BMP.

How many times do you see families at the dinner table with both adults on their phones and all kids with their noses pressed against a screen? No conversation or interaction. Food gets served, no recognition of the waiting staff, food shoved down with a fork, as using a knife would require the device being put down.


Am I sounding like a grumpy old man?

Nope, BMP too!

On holiday recently, nice restaurant etc - wealthy looking family with couple of kids, all on iPads / phones playing games but with the volume blaring. No need for it, selfish arseholes......

There's a lovely lake near us with loads of interesting water fowl, benches in little private spots etc. Cycled past a family sat at one today - both parents staring at their phones and the kid, maybe 4, with its tablet in one of those fun-coloured rubber cases/stands. All sat in silence.

There's a thread for dead celebrities nobody has heard of but not for ordinary people. Maybe I'll start one, "Just Dead People Special To You".

I can't buy half a pizza from the takeaway.

A whole pizza is too much. I mean to say, I can eat a whole one. I would eat a whole one, but I shouldn't eat a whole one and I don't have the will power not to.

But if I could buy half a pizza, put a little salad on the side and hey presto.

Instead, I had pasta

Pizza comes in different sizes, what size can't you manage?

The ones with 12 pieces are too much. Can only handle 8 pieces.

Continuing scanning. Amazingly, offering £3 for one nondescript book 'Tingo'.

But the shocker, for me, is Stirling Moss, by Obert Edwards. Massive coffee table hardback, 350 pages. Not wanted by WBB.

£30 when published in 2001. £4.50 s/h

I've just parcelled up 42 books and will get the princely sum of about £33. The star of the show was 'We are Legion (We are Bob)' for £3.57 iirc. The oddest was when I scanned in the complete set of 'Mortal Engines' books they took some but not the 3rd or 4th. Got a reject stack for Oxfam now.

However, the missus cleared 4 or 5 books off the shelves. She bought them in the RHS Wisley library sale (they sell off library books and donations to do with plants/gardens). Some 1st editions (probably only editions!) on exciting things like sweet peas She'd done a Google....£50 to £70 each! I didn't scan those (I might do it for a laugh - if they actually have bar codes).

My local pizza man will make a half pizza, he'll even just cook you a base so you can take it home and make a sandwich (It was my wife's request, she was pissed, she is very persuasive. In her defence, if it needs it, it was a bloody nice sandwich.).

I don't like to think about "half pizza" personally - if I order a whole pizza the whole fecking pizza IS MINE.

Nah. Have it cold for brekky with that half full can you found behind the sofa

As a stoodent, my housemate used to wrap up the remnants of his post-pub-takeaway and just wedge it down the side of the sofa so that he could continue eating it in the morning. How none of us died ....

It's about 9 / 10 inches. It's not that I can't manage it, it's that I don't need that much food.

The gap on the points needs adjusting, if that doesn't work change the condenser.

Personally, I'd say sod the expense and buy a new gap.

If you stick it under your pillow it's less likely to go missing before the morning.

Spanish websites. Just booked ferries to Fuerteventura and took nearly as long as the ferry itself.

I was a programmer for many years and I'd have been sacked if I'd produced the 2 shit sites I had to use today
