  1. He is apparently in hospital now with serious mental health issues.
  2. Agreed. Going back on topic, I hope this dude from the Yellow Submarine hits the back of the net from time to time.
  3. The BBC have confirmed a male presenter has been suspended. They've also contacted the police. EDIT: I appreciate names were being banded about on Twitter etc before the statement though. BBC
  4. Last night's sleep was the best I've had in ages. Thanks @chrisp65. (kw).
  5. I might have to sleep on it before responding properly.
  6. Nope, brand new. One of their clearance sales as it was at the end of the "box life" apparently. All good - the mattress seems fine and has that "new mattress smell". In fact, the mattress seems better than fine - I've just had a quick lay-down on it and it's great now it's had time to breathe. Much, much better than what I had before. It might take some time to get used to though.
  7. I wasn't sure where to post this but seeing as I posted about expecting an Emma mattress earlier, I thought I would just carry on here. So it was delivered. It took me ages to unpack it with all of the plastic around it and then "whoosh!" it sprang out. No cutting tool that is meant to be provided which seemed odd but the mattress is fine (at least I think it's fine) so thought nothing of it. 2 hours later, the delivery drivers turn up again. "We've given you the wrong box!". "Errr, the mattress is on my bed" I said before buzzing them in. So I let them in and sure enough, it had someone else's name on the box (I really should have checked). We checked the size and label and it was the same product. "Okay, it's the same" they said before going away again. An hour later they came back asking for the box. It seems that they worked out they could just swap the contents of the box and nobody is any wiser (especially as there was no tape, just those flap things). Now it's got me wondering if this has happened before with this mattress and why I didn't have the cutting tool etc in the box . "Premium delivery" apparently. At least they've taken away my old mattress, the box and plastic.
  8. Thanks. I've paid about £300 for a double premium, including premium delivery (meaning they'll take away my old one). It seemed too good to be true at first but it's direct from their website. Having just checked, seems I was lucky - the best deal on there now is 55% off (still good, mind).
  9. I have a new Emma mattress turning up today. I haven't been sleeping well for ages so this better be good. I managed to get 75% off the premium one .
  10. One thousandth. Do I win anything?
  11. I've been watching it on and off seeing as I'm off work this week. I was rooting for Jodie Burrage. As for them Just Stop Oil protesters... pathetic.
  12. "Oh God, not those people coming over again. We tried to put them off last time after filling up half of their plate with Brussels sprouts but yet, they're back. Even the burnt parsnips and those awful half-cooked pigs in blankets didn't put them off, even when we know one of them is vegan. What shall we do? Oh wait, I've got an idea...".
  13. Asda used to lead the way with cheap petrol (amongst the supermarkets at least). All change with the takeover of the Issa brothers (who are no strangers to the petrol market) propped up with hedge funds.
  14. I have seagulls waking me up at 3AM. They're so bloody noisy! Live near to the harbour they said. It will be nice they said.

    He's probably singing "Goodbye normal jeans"...

    I bet he wished he didn't have a meal there. "It's a little bit runny".

    It's a little bit funny but I imagine he's amstel standing (yeah yeah yeah).
  18. Tony's garage is currently coned off pending investigations. He is also remarking "how dairy you!".

    Interesting piece in The Guardian.
  20. Mine quickly became unmanageable when I relocated away from Birmingham for my first proper job. I rented a flat and was on measly money at the time (being fresh in) and I barely coped with the wage just about paying the rent etc. So I popped a few things on the credit card from time to time. People at work were aware I was struggling and said "why don't you house share?" - there was no way I was going to do that (as I like my own space). Things were sorted in the end but it took 10 years...
