Given the choice, I'd stay on the sofa all day watching old films (and the match). But the wife's mate is coming round for Sunday lunch and we're off to a gig this evening. 

This paracetamol and ibuprofen had better start doing its stuff.  

I have a tylohot (think a lemsip equivalent but 2x as strong) and 2 nurofen 400g and it keeps the general bluergh at bay. 

Hate sniffly head colds. 

Feel da rythm...

MrsVM is off to a conference at Edgbaston soon. Anyone got any shout outs for drinks in the area afterwards?

A walk up Salisbury Road into Moseley, maybe. 

Sometimes I measure my productiveness during the day by the amount of battery percentage left on my phone, at 5pm.

Starting at 6am with 100% anything above 80% by 5pm means I've had a very busy day. Yesterday I left for home with it on 82%

My son got into the Worcester Academy over the winter, with a view of being part next seasons squad

What sort of a player is he?

All I know is that I took a seven day trip to Birmingham and ate 12 sausage rolls. 

So it is possible to eat healthily on holiday.

I hope to spend a week with her in France in January. If we became more than friends then I think I know a way I could get a work visa: going back to TEFL in a language school. I taught English as a foreign language for language schools for six years including three in Paris. I swore I wouldn't teach groups for a language school again but I guess some things are worth making a sacrifice for !

Private lessons face to face and over zoom are the way to go. Im charging €45 an hour with a minimum ten lesson commitment. If you could get 5/6 people like that you'd laughing. Then, hold English language exchanges in a local bar where you make a deal on the drinks with the owner. You'll be laughing.

I've moved to different countries twice for 'love'. I married an Armenian Türk after moving to Istanbul in 2010. The life experience was amazing but after a while I realised I'd married the family not just her and it culminated in me divorcing and leaving to Bulgaria where I met a much more stoic, straight forward but still sort of bat s***t crazy Bulgarian. She's amazing and the mother of my two kids, but you have to suck up the cultural differences before being happy. Luckily I've got a group of British friends here who keep everything grounded and keep me supplied with squash and cheddar.

I say do it. Go balls deep and treasure those early morning baguette runs, beer with large head and the gallic shrug.

I am pretty certain he is in his mid to late 60s. I choose not to believe Wikipedia. 

Are you sure you're getting him confused with hardcore gangster Tim Westwood?

Shops that don't abide by their stated opening hours. 

Here in Bulgaria this is very strict. You must post your opening hours on the door of your business as a condition of your trading license. Until they go on holiday for 4 weeks and post a torn A4 piece of paper daubed in crayon that they won't be open 'til September. Meanwhile they haven't updated google so you go halfway across town to see shutters and a something akin to a dirty protest.

The gimps.

Any spider experts on here? When the women in my family say they've seen an enormous spider, I laugh, as they invariably turn out to be teeny. 

This one, though, is quite impressive. I'd love to know what species it is. 

Google lens gives me Mediterranean recluse spider.

Whenever I'm making midnight sandwiches after a few wines I always put this on and 99% start weeping. I mean, I am drunk at the time so it provides a catalyst.
