Well, if I ate both, I could hide the evidence from the wife. But there is a certain gamesmanship in married life by leaving evidence of minor misdeeds :D

Got up and logged into work. Now looking at the pissing rain, after more than three weeks of SE Asia sunshine. :thumbdown:

Feels like it but we've had some :thumbup: days here. Bright, dry but maybe a tad nippy.

And two iffy debits on my charge card whilst in Phuket and M&S have cancelled Mrs. G's card as some scallies have been trying to set up fake accounts on it. :o

My news feed being flooded with articles about the Beckhams and some Feltz woman (I don't think it's Vanessa).

Why does the world give two shits about this lot? I know I don't.

Isn't that a scottish thing? Been watching (well ok, listening to) a series filmed around the Shetlands and noticed that a lot of them pronounced the H on words that we wouldn't normally say it, and the way it was pronounced I would guess they would say 'haitch' ??

Mrs Mango's irregular tidying frenzies when important letters on the kitchen table disappear into a black hole (or a cardboard box somewhere). Latest example is a French water bill that should have been paid in November 2025 that I've just unearthed, and taxation reminders for the van and car. Both discovered in a cardboard box under the kitchen table.

Grrrrr....
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.

Whoever left them lying around?

From the sound of it it's not a new habit, why haven't you learned to deal with yet? Apart from whining on here?
