Ooh, quick, you should do one of those chicken pox parties.

That happened to me when I got chickenpox, aged ten. House full of kids... on Christmas **** ing Day. I barely got a look-in with my new Scalextric. Grrrr.

There is a fortune awaiting the first person who learns how to transplant the hairs , that grow in profusion, from you ears as you grow older onto the top of your head where the reverse in happening. Thought For The Day !

I realise I'm probably very late to the party, but I've just come across "8D Audio" and it's blowing my mind.

(absolutely definitely requires headphones)

Mate, guess what - we landed on the moon! 😉

Nah, I only found about this recently too. I got sent an 8D track as an audio file through WhatsApp. It’s been around a while so **** knows how it’s only just really started to surface and become more prevalent. Unless we’re just uncool and massively behind the curve!! Agree...it’s blowing my mind too.

Try this one:

You lot are so cynical. I'm sure the statuesque Russian beauty is with for his GSOH and kindness to animals.

Listened to those but not really my thing so went to YouTube ... had the obligatory Bohemian Rhapsody so I tried that , hated it the way it switched between ears and so forth , was about to file it under meh and never again and then found this gem

 Might have to rethink it now

Played a few more , decided it’s pretty shit actually , it’s like someone cranked up the treble and then just moves it from one ear to another for no good reason , wonderwall sounds terrible (no comment) , the drums on Billie Jean , arguably the best thing of the whole song , sound tinny and ruined , Let it be it just turned it into a church organ piece with echo , like wise Take on me where the sound just overlaps and sounds dreadful , and Nirvana’s come as you are ... No , no and No 

so , for that reason I’m out

Wait! Are you being serious!? People have tried to convert Let It Be, Take on Me and Billie Jean etc to this format!? 🤨
I haven’t listened to those particular tracks in 8D, but I just can’t imagine it translating across at all. I’m surprised people even tried and thought it would work.

I’m still impressed, but I do think it needs a certain style of music (like the Billie Eilish track).

I bought some jaffa cakes on a whim while shopping for my essentials at the off licence.  I'd forgotten how amazing they are.

You obviously haven't followed my various jaffa cake geek posts. Summary: forget McVities. Morrisons economy are the business. Still twelve in a packet (McVs switched to ten, which screwed my standard portion of four at a sitting), and exactly the same as the Morrisons regular product (blind tasting proven). 39p a packet. They are the only thing I have been stockpiling, the cupboard is piled high, but I'm still nervous about supply chain problems up ahead. Tasting tip: pair with Havana Club 7 year old rum.

The ones I bought are made by a company called Euroshopper, 24 for £1.  McVities should really have trademarked them.

Two Cadbury’s Easter eggs for £1.50 in Morrison's. I bring four back every time I go, put mine in the fridge to eat later. Cold Easter egg chocolate, is simply the best. 

 

Aldi doing 60% and 70% cocoa large chocolate eggs reduced to £2.99, there’s yer choc hit right there.
