When you need to buy 5 laminate boards 2000 x 600 do you need a van?

No, just a mighty Duster :obscene-birdiedoublered:

I've just been contacted by the only daughter of the late Colonel Gadaffi, and she wants me to help her invest $25,750,000 in my country. I feel so special... :)

My daughter's off on a works night-out with the staff from the shop where she works part-time.

Lovely bunch of people no particular reason for a mid-week night out - they're just all off to a Thai restaurant in the next town for the evening.

She's absolutely chuffed.

Walking home from town earlier I felt summat rub my thigh.
Was curious so looked and my wallet was on floor. Was a hole in my shorts pocket I'd not realised.

Was about 100€ in but the cards would have been the big loss.

I feel luck was on my side.

Confusous says "man with hole in pocket feels cocky all day "

Apologies: it just needs saying.

It had to be useless Harry Maguire with the winner. Saying that many a time he came up trumps when it counts. Shame he is shit all the other times.

Kind of reminded me of the great Bayern Munich comeback.


Wish i watched it all now but i had to watch The Rangers getting humped.

Hold on a second... we are talkign about the Man Utd who are just above the relegation zone ? But after one comeback win against a fairly shit French team are now lauded as the 2nd coming of christ. LOL.... FFS.

They'll now go out and get humped by Wolves 0-3 at home and it'll be back to being the end of the world.

Yes. That same Man U team who are still happily playing in a European Competition.


Probably get humped by Athletic Club now.

I'd given up watching Utd on Thursdays and started watching Premier league darts, but it looks like I missed a cracker last night. It is possibly the worst Utd team I've ever known, earliest memories being 76 Cup final and a team that is historically full of flare, remember Steve Coppel and Gordon Hill. 🤔

Today's Utd is full of miss fits, so many mistakes, basically just shit, but a cracking game doesn't need Ronaldo and Co. Might try and find it later and have a watch. 👍

For a while all the Man Utd players were forbidden from owning dogs. They couldn't be trusted to hold onto a lead.

Baby D (7) has now reached a level of Snowboarding where she's allowed on the main lift/slope here at MK.

She's been at Snowboarding holiday camp all week. We snuck back to watch her yesterday without her knowing. Really weird to see her so confidently get on the drag lift in with all the adults, then come down from the top of the hill snowboarding properly. She only started learning at Christmas.

Means we can go together now whenever we want.
