Genie Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) This should very much piss people off. Yesterday a picture doing the rounds on social media of a pretty 19 year old girl missing in Tamworth. Today a body has been found and a 19 year old man arrested. Only a couple of miles from my house. Edited September 20, 2019 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted September 20, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted September 20, 2019 I'm in the process of selling some stuff. I've got an item worth about £300 that a chap from Russia is interested. Initially, wasn't open to anything but UK buyers but decided if they had good reputations I'd accept international buyers. Come to an agreement with the guy, go looking for quotes. Turns out sending stuff to Russia is a nightmare. To the extent I've basically got to turn the guy down after arranging a price and what not for the better part of a week.

Couriers are effectively sub-contracted, even if you’re ‘using’ Fedex or DHL or whoever on the face of it. All the usual assurances just don’t exist, so while it would all probably be fine it’s just not worth the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he picked up a fair bit of exposure, obviously through his own ability and achievement, but also in part from doing it at the same time as two more well known athletes. This is the most I’ve seen his name in seven years. Actually, that day, " super Saturday" we won six golds, which I think is a record! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillian Whyte, Greg Rutherford, Martha Reeves, a Radio 1 DJ and a French actress who I've never heard of. We're in danger of actually have a round of actually famous people. I mean niche famous, but famous. Also Greg Rutherford. Is there a less likeable British sports personality? I didn't like him when he was actually competing, but now when he's angling for a media career, **** hell. I can't watch that show, the voice over woman makes my teeth hurt, and don't get me started on Greg **** Wallace, an absolute bell end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted September 23, 2019 Moderator Share Posted September 23, 2019 Full on Brexit drill in Bicks Mansions. Come home with food shopping to a power cut. Arranged to borrow fridge space for the food we’d bought. Went to the chippy. Had to take the long route home because some dick put his car in a ditch so now the fish and chips are barely warm My daughter is unimpressed by my Three Day Week comments Still maybe now she’ll understand the benefits of charging your phone because she can’t even tell her mates or phone the boyfriend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post colhint Posted September 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2019 A sodding speck on the screen. A sodding speck. Made a comment on a forum, finished with a full stop. Came up as a colon. Tried again, same result. Tried two more times, same result. It was a sodding speck on the screen. Wiped it off, problem solved. If it had been half a millimeter either side or up or down, it would have stood out. Bugger I feel a right clot. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
