I was sat between my two mates who are big lads so they kept me fairly warm via osmosis or something. Only one fight which was a shame. Glad you enjoyed it! It’s a good spectator sport, imo. But, yeah, the two 18 min breaks can be a bit long, even if they are necessary to water and freeze the ice. Thank god for shit-talking mates and/or smartphones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was down in Sussex too. I normally sleep straight through thunderstorms so it must have been a biggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumerican Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Just realised you can convert any van into a camper van simply by sprinkling some glitter on the dashboard. Or doing Graham Norton impressions in the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I know i’ve mentioned this before but it’s a great deal, Monese prepaid debit card which is free seem to do this offer once a month. They sell gift cards for dozens of major shops at 20% below their value. I just picked up a £200 gift card for Morrisons for £160 as it’s where I tend to fill up my car. If you went for the top one every month to buy things you’d buy anyway it would save nearly a thousand pounds. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Paddywhack Posted September 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2022 My 96 year old Grandad has been in hospital since June, initially with covid but now with other complications. I was finally able to visit him this evening. I walked in and was shocked by how small he was and then he spoke and I couldn’t believe how weak he sounded. My mom had made him a little picnic - some sandwiches and a few pieces of cake. I watched him eat and saw the crumbs fall on his chest and the way he was sipping orange squash from the hospital cup; it reminded me of my toddler. I started imagining him as a little boy, thinking of him with his mom, dad and siblings, all of them now gone. I then thought of him now, lying in this bed for 3 months and how lonely he must have been. My Nan died last August, they’d been married 73 years. He must miss her like crazy. I was glad I could hide slightly behind my mask, because I was starting to well up. …but then he farted really loudly so I was fine after that. Still thankful for the mask but for different reasons. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
