My neighbours selling up has bmp, well maybe just slightly upset by it would be better. They've lived next door for over 20 years and we know them and their extended family well. They're a really lovely family! Never know who you're going to get next do you!
I did warn you that leaving that fucking hideous scooter out on the drive would have consequences, didn't I?
Anyhow, maybe now is the time to dig up that pampas grass from the front lawn. You're getting on a bit.

I only found out on Sunday that 'the pineapple' was a thing. How naïve am I?
Friends went on a cruise and it was the topic of conversation at the dinner table one evening. Does raise the question, do swingers carry around a book of pineapple stickers to place on their cabin door? Or does only a fresh pineapple count?
And is it still a thing on Saga cruises? I mean, that's an image I don't need to dwell on....
And apparently I need to be on the lookout for people with upside-down pineapples in their shopping trolley when doing the weekly shop.

No idea about the stickers though.
My suggestion was to buy a book of pineapple stickers and to randomly stick them on cabin doors during the night.
Should get all the passengers well acquainted.

Not pineapples, but I bashed on a load of doors on the Hull-Zubrugge ferry a few years back. It was to confuse some exchange students. I bashed the doors and then waited by the lift to watch the fun. They all accused each other.

Today I finally tried again with the VPN stuff
Signed up (can cancel if it doesn't work etc etc)
Found the discovery+ page - managed to sign in (using a different email address, they must remember ones connected to previous attempts
)
Page doesn't play the game. I'm bored already - currently chatting with a 'bot' on the VPN page

AND - finally tried to put WhatsApp on my iPad
Can only find WhatsApp Web and half the screen is lost due to adverts - I have to pay a subscription to clear the ads.
Thing is, I'm a dick on this stuff. It's not 'that' important to have WhatsApp on the pad, just handy - if they make it difficult to use I'll just delete it.
But, today is not a good day for techie stuff

There isn't a dedicated Ipad app for WhatsApp and the web solution is crap IMHO.

I buy Spanish La Espanola olive oil which in the last year has over doubled in price. At the weekend I refused to buy it as it had gone up yet again. Just heard on the news that its due to Spains drought and some bug or another and olive tree theft! It appears supermarkets are cashing in on this by putting up the prices of all olive oil and dramatically so too! Appparently their grapes have problems due to drought and wine prices are climbing as well. Real world problems right there!

I'll bet you they don't pay the producer more though... Just charge the public more. Welcome to the world we live in of selfish people.
