Popular Post Mandy Lifeboats Posted October 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2020 We've had a new cleaner for the office. He's a young Iranian Lad. We share a similar name and we've got talking. "It was a difficult journey to the UK..........." At this point I am expecting to hear stories of People Smuggling, hiding in car boots and swimming the last 100m of the channel at night.

colhint Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 My bog cistern was filling too high, kept leaking outside from the overflow. The ballcock had slipped and needed adjusting. It's a small job but a right bugger to get at. Hadn't got a spanner to adjust the nut, and my adjustable wrench was too bulky to get in between the flushing mechanism. Ah bugger, couldn't work out how to get at it. So I went to make a cup of tea and ponder. I went to get a spoon from the drawer, What did I notice, a nutcracker, hadn't been used for about 20 years. It worked a treat, small enough to fit and enough grip to loosen and then tighten the nut. having written, this I just realised I used thee nutcracker on a nut. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Seat68 Posted October 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2020 This might be too ghey for some of you so turn away. I have seen a lot of relationships crumble during the pandemic. My daughter and her entire circle of friends have all split up with their partners. My wife’s boss, friends of my wife. It seems that being stuck with your loved one was too much and as a result the cracks became chasms that relationships could not hold together. i rarely leave the house, me and Mrs Seat are in each others company the entire week apart from about 10 hours maybe. Our social life tends to involve each other, more so during covid. what cheers me, is still, not a strong word, don’t get me wrong, useless word removed gets bandied about, but nothing serious. Nothing that says we have problems. I am happy and cheered that we werent a couple that covid said you **** are done. I once said to her, we will never split up. She said, please let me have my dreams. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of relationships are out of habit and convenience, and like you say, this pandemic has magnified any incompatibilities tenfold. I've always been of the view that i'd rather be single than in a relationship I wasn't 100% sure of as I'm quite comfortable with my own company. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spare nipper went to uni 4 weeks ago, leaving us two working from home in a locked down county. Turns out, she’s quite funny and interesting. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the pandemic we've been in each other's company pretty much 24/7, but we have both been surprised about how well we've got along - not one major row. The other bit, about friends and family is different from your experience though - don't know anyone who's split up or had serious relationship issues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
