Davkaus Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 My partner didn't see them despite being up and looking for them, as we were talking about it, she mentioned which room she was in. The room which definitely faces south 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constantly telling us and his girlfriend how sorry he was and apologising for his language as he kept calling himself a word removed that he'd **** up.

I'd come home at 4am, clatter around in the kitchen making toast, go to bed and crash out. When I'd wake up to be sick, i'd notice the bucket and towel my Dad has put next to my bed! Bless him! One night, I threw up over the radiator and it all dripped behind it and was a bugger to clean 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was never much of a puker but I’ve done enough “**** up” well into my 30s. Hopefully no more for me and your lad gets over it sooner! Maybe it is better that the younger generations are turning away from booze. Still thinking the world would be much more boring though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 My back garden points north, just had a little look at the streetlight right outside the fence is going to ruin any slim chance I have of seeing the northern lights tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Is there a way I can make a phone call to the USA without it costing me a fortune? I need to speak to a hotel so I assume it’s just a regular landline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
