Also- the Gordon Brown trust fund thing. Thought nothing of it. Eldest (18) checked and he had £1600 in there. From the government putting 2 x £250 into the fund back in 2006.

He’s currently enjoying the extra pocket money on his holiday with his mates

My nephew was a bit gutted - all his mates got that sort of amount but because he was born in the states (english mother tho and has lived in the uk since the age or 4 or 5) he got about £100

Try aiming just ahead of them, for the deflection shot.

Roast Cat as You Wish to Eat It

Source [Libre del Coch, R. Carroll-Mann (trans.)]: 123. Roast Cat as You Wish to Eat It. You will take a cat that is fat, and decapitate it. And after it is dead, cut off the head and throw it away because it is not for eating, for they say that eating the brains will cause him who eats them to lose his senses and judgment. Then flay it very cleanly, and open it and clean it well, and then wrap it in a cloth of clean linen. And bury it beneath the ground where it must be for a day and a night; and then take it out of there and set it to roast on a spit. And roast it over the fire. And when beginning to roast it, grease it with good garlic and oil. And when you finish greasing it, whip it well with a green twig , and this must be done before it is well-roasted, greasing it and whipping it. And when it is roasted, cut it as if it were a rabbit or a kid and put it on a big plate; and take garlic and oil blended with good broth in such a manner that it is well-thinned. And cast it over the cat. And you may eat of it because it is very good food.

I don't know why these posts are making me laugh cos I do so love cats!! LOL But hey ho - sick mind n all!!

He and PBB were on VD at the same time so I'm sure there were competitions!! LOL

Finally sorted the moho out after our Italian trip.
Had to buy a new obd reader with specific Sprinter software, which narrowed it down to the bit I'd already replaced.
Stuck a vacuum gauge on it and it gave a reading, but not great, so stuck a mityvac on it and built a vacuum up.
Quick refit of all the pipes, and a fairly serious puff of black smoke out the exhaust, and a free revving motor. Took her out for a road test, by the end of the driveway I knew she's a good'un. Took her up the hill for an Italian tune up and all is well in motorhome land!

One of the bonuses of island living is companies deciding it's not worth the hassle of collecting courier damaged items.

Which is ace when a flat pack sink unit has very minor damage on one corner of the hardboard back board. And recipient isn't fussed as it's only going into a studio.

No shit

So if you decapitate a cat and eat the brains you may end up having your senses and judgement held up to scrutiny.

Only by snowflakes.

Taxed the H1 today. The princely sum of SFA.

202 quid fully comp on my Thunder rat swamp bike.

Gremlinette having a bad case of the two-bobs (CRS translation: two-bob bits = the shits).

Allow me to elucidate:

Her boyfriend wanted to see Travis Scott. You may remember that it was at his gig in Houston that 10 people died in a crush. Anyhow, London all sold out, but they found tickets in Milan, so thought they'd make a bit of a break of it, see Milan, do the concert, have a nice time. Six male friends also decide to come along for the gig too.
On the 'plane out, Gremlinette gets the squits, to the point she's in the toilet most of the flight, plus feeling nauseous, etc. End result, she swerves the concert, her boyfriend meets up with the other lads and they all go together.

Fuck me, I recall being at gigs and the crowd being lively, but the videos I saw this morning were something else. . Ippodromo di San Siro holds about 15k people. Even way back from the main stage, it was just one big mosh pit. Gremlinette's boyfriend had his new Ac Milan top ripped from his back, as did all the lads, lost all his rings and his wallet, one of the lads has some serious cuts to his back. None of this targeted by the sound of it, just what happens at a Travis Scott gig.
Had the Gremlinette been there, she would have had a meltdown as she doesn't really do crowds (WTF she thought it would be like at a Travis Scott concert, I have no idea - generous seating and complimentary drink?!). In addition, there was a serious lack of water to be purchased and it was seriously hot. She met them all at the metro station bringing bottles of water like some drought relief charity worker.

Anyhow, no serious injuries and the lads have all got Insta likes, but in the words of her boyfriend, 'Glad I went but I'm never, ever going to a Travis Scott gig again!'.

Glad my little girl was well out of it.

Living on top of a hill. Love the views (ok, not quite mountains like Noggin's place, but ... ).

This morning, across the valley to the castle, 2 miles away. And sunset a few nights ago
