Haven't you heard? Belgium has declared war on England over oven chips.

Lovely ice cream in the old harbour

Three
That’ll be one French speaking, one Flemish speaking and one German speaking. And they will be fighting with each other

Reminds me of the old joke about a number of desert islands where 2 men and a woman from various nations had been stranded on each island. When rescue came, the English men were still waiting to be introduced to the woman, the Italian men had killed each other over the woman, the French men had duelled and the victor claimed the 'spoils'. Meanwhile the Belgians were getting along perfectly in a ménage à trois.

Explains the racket as they went over.

But right now watching Peppa pig with a cup of tea

Didn't know she drank tea.....

Just reading some public responses to a takeaway which has just been awarded a one star food hygiene rating. Most people's own kitchens would barely score a one star, with cats, dogs, laundry equipment in their kitchens....

I'd want to know what the one star was for, if it only means their paperwork is up to date then I'd be worried.

It's always seemed to me that the hygiene thing should be pass/fail.

That said....growing up, my best mate's Dad was an environmental health inspector. His mum was a microbiologist. Their house was an absolute shit tip. So either they didn't bring their work home, or they realised it was less important than you think.

I gave the like because it made me laugh. I don't fancy a painful death from something I was given in a one star hygiene rated takeaway.

Having a beer in the sun, pain free for first time in a week.
Insurance company been dragging their feet. But I got pissed off and went to emergency at private hospital and got cortisone injection in my lower back.
By 'ell, it's nice now the pain's gone.

Off to my first ever footy match (at the tender age of 53). My work colleagues are dragging me along to Brighton United v Manchester Rovers (or something). Apparently we have to meet at a pub first to “have a few” before the match.

I'll be watching that later. Maybe in the pub, depending on how today goes

Getting moaned at by the wife as I put salmon skin in the airfryer to make "salmon crisps" and I've stunk the house out!

Sat on the ferry to Fuertaventura.
Perfect riding day. Mid 20s and bright sunshine

Having a dish of tea after some exertions in the shed of shite. I've built a box for the spare wind turbine blades, sharpened an axe, tidied a bit and packed some Ebay items.

Next on the list is contributing to Weeksy's retirement fund.

Up early to finish off loading the caravan for couple of nights away. I say loading, the girlfriend obviously thinks we are away for a month or two, I’ve got my other best pants, a sock and a clean t shirt.
Mick

Set up, relaxing with a JD & coke.

You should have used the iron. Crank it up and press it firmly onto the salmon skin, sort of like they do in some Japanese restaurants . You'll need a metal plate to put on the ironing board of course. Do that, you'll be back in the good books no worries.

PS How were the crisps?

Horrible actually. They sort of blew around in the airfryer and were just soggy on some bits and burnt on others. I'll stick to the grill from now on!
