Totally envy you and Piranha and anyone else that lives in a warmer clime. If we didn't have elderly dependants, we'd be on the move. We're now both in agreement that we will move abroad when the time is right for us.

Sunny weather everyday is good for the spirit. We have problems like everyone else. But easier to cope when it's a lovely day.
P.S. you'd hate Lanzarote

It might be a case of having to move to a hotter climate for medical reasons. I developed LOA (late onset asthma) about 10 years ago, but in Spain I didn't get any asthma or breathing problems! I have slightly restricted movement in my index fingers due to arthritis, but that also disappears when in the hotter weather. I wonder if I can get the NHS to buy me a villa?

Perfect Draft site is down, meaning I can't order any kegs of beer.
For the love of God, I've got pissheads coming around at the weekend.

I answered an email earlier, included 'not in a month of Sunday's' within the body of the message, the original sender replied with 'LOL I had to Google that haha'

Time is merely a byproduct of a conscious observer and is entirely subjective. A long boring drawn out Sunday can last forever especially if you are required to attend a long drawn out boring sermon. Either way, you're most likely not at work where time can pass relatively quickly when you're busy or working to a deadline.Rockburner wrote: ↑Fri Aug 23, 2024 2:19 pm To be fair, although I'm familiar with the expression, I'm not sure where it comes from...
A months worth of those long drawn out Sundays of course equates to literally 30 or 31 weeks or two and a half years.
Not sure if everyone has experienced the "slow motion" of an accident. I've had more than my fair share where I appear to have time to watch the inevitable doom unfold. I **think** your brain is saturated with endorphins as the rest of your body is primed with an extra shot of adrenaline. Not only does the accident seem to go on forever, the scene is permanently etched into long term memory.
Thankfully those sorts of events only occur once in a blue moon...

I believe it was the interminable boredom of Sundays, before the shops were allowed to open, that inspired Bono to pen U2's hit song.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
A new staff member arrived at the campsite last weekend. A very pleasant Dutch lady. We've spent most of the week together, we even went out for lunch on my KTM. It's been really nice having her around, nice to have a conversation for a change.
Sadly she's just left to go to her next job

Not so much wound up but just a fact I heard on Radio 4 today that saddened me somewhat.
In 1975 some Californian swimmers beat a baby whale to death, thinking it was a shark after watching Jaws.
Can't find any links though.

The figures for the drop in the shark population were pretty too.demographic wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 8:51 pm Not so much wound up but just a fact I heard on Radio 4 today that saddened me somewhat.

(I like the comment about 'shark infested waters' - 'That's where they live, where are they supposed to be? It should be human infested waters').

Going out to eat with my sister and nephew and walking past some very nice restaurants because nephew only eats chicken nuggets when he's out. He's nearly 18 FFS.
On the subject of fussy eaters, wife's vegan brother and his wife will be visiting in October. The food here is excellent, anything you want is locally produced but is it vegan? I'd rather eat this heavily processed crap of unknown origin along with these supplements because my diet is so bad I can't get anywhere near enough nutrients to survive. I fucking hate vegans.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
As Vegetarian and veganism became more popular, I felt there was more effort being put into their food than meat based cooking and really enjoyed some of the veggie offerings in restaurants. But as you say, its now some of the worse ultra processed shit out there. Food industry mugging everyone off again!
