Christmas

I'm feeling Christmassy. Too early?

SpudULike at 2023-10-07 16:07:56

Top as it stands. Just saying

audreye8 at 2023-08-14 22:35:15

Ordered a delivery for today. It did not turn up. Annoyed

GabIt at 2023-08-12 23:43:31

Arsenal 2 - Notts Forest 1. Clean as you like

CorytonMe at 2023-08-09 23:32:29

Is summer done yet

Chris59 at 2023-06-15 22:38:33

Can someone turn the thermostat down

PolyHere at 2023-06-11 22:09:45

Summer gets old, fast

Rach73 at 2023-06-10 21:07:11

Gloss Paint

Shop local

audreye8 at 2023-06-08 14:36:45

Gloss Paint

Try Amazon

nate99 at 2023-06-08 14:34:02

Gloss Paint

I bought Gloss Paint online but don't seem to be able to source turpentine from the online stores

junea at 2023-06-01 14:12:34

Is there a tube strike tomorrow

Rach73 at 2023-06-01 12:47:26

It's warm-ish, on and off

Chris59 at 2023-06-01 11:32:49

I have one in the back, almost new

beryl77 at 2023-06-01 09:38:08

What's happened to summer

PolyHere at 2023-05-20 22:39:57

Just have a nice cup of tea

GabIt at 2023-05-20 22:36:46

Well, that's the season done

Rach73 at 2023-05-20 22:35:30

When will summer start

brianN4 at 2023-04-23 19:59:07

Spurs were thumped. That's all I've got

SpudULike at 2023-04-23 16:05:11

Welcome to Spurs

GabIt at 2023-04-23 15:52:57

It's the hope that kills you

Rach73 at 2023-03-30 20:47:21

Dawn is coming

SpudULike at 2023-03-30 20:09:24

It is dark outside

beryl77 at 2023-03-30 08:06:46

Hurry up spring

BigJoe at 2023-03-15 20:11:15

It is spring and I am going to dress accordingly. Weather is irrelevant

PolyHere at 2023-03-11 19:19:20

It will warm up. I read that somewhere

beryl77 at 2023-03-08 17:40:55

It is snowing. I'd go and have a word but it it freezing

GabIt at 2023-01-23 18:46:36

It might be on

brianN4 at 2023-01-17 18:58:13

A little, then a lot

SpudULike at 2023-01-17 18:56:07

GabIt at 2023-01-17 18:53:49

Can we dream. Even for a few days

Rach73 at 2023-01-03 20:14:17

A New Year, Chris. Start out cheery

Chris59 at 2023-01-03 10:01:05

New Year seems same as the Old Year. Which is sort of comforting

PolyHere at 2022-12-24 22:11:59

Or snow in the wind

BigJoe at 2022-12-24 22:07:26

Like butterflies in the breeze

Rach73 at 2022-12-24 22:05:42

It drifted a little

geoU at 2022-12-24 22:04:17

Know what you mean

FloE9 at 2022-12-19 14:53:26

I liked the Mach essay last week. Made me all Christmassy

Chris59 at 2022-12-15 13:39:10

England World Cup

Dream over, I'm sorry to say

Trev at 2022-11-23 21:29:34

England World Cup

England can we dream of the World Cup. Even for a week

Rach73 at 2022-11-20 17:59:49

Don't they have to deliver within 30 days our provide a refund. Consumer Rights Act 2015

BigJoe at 2022-11-12 18:58:15

Starting a new job next week. A little nervous

beryl77 at 2022-10-26 16:36:23

Bought Christmas tickets from GWR, ordered a postal delivery. They have not turned up. GWR will not resend. They suggest I ring them a couple of days before departure. Terrible service

GabIt at 2022-10-09 21:27:42

Arsenal. Dare we dream

beryl77 at 2022-09-30 13:55:55

Summer Over

Autumn does sneak up on you

brianN4 at 2022-09-14 18:50:07

Summer Over

It will be around again

ThatJack at 2022-09-07 22:35:32

Summer Over

That's summer done

GabIt at 2022-08-27 19:32:56

Arsenal. Just saying

Chris59 at 2022-08-11 15:44:50

Hot Again

It is warmish. I'll give you that

BigJoe at 2022-08-10 19:51:29

Hot Again

Is it supposed to be this hot. Again

beryl77 at 2022-08-07 12:52:34

Eve's Diary

Surprisingly good

Rach73 at 2022-08-04 19:03:20

Eve's Diary

This was unexpectedly wonderful. Comedic and moving

BigJoe at 2022-08-04 04:32:25

August fells pretty fine. Great, really

JennnyFF at 2022-07-30 12:11:25

Changes can go either way

Lesley87 at 2022-07-29 11:14:04

August next week. There are going to be some changes

chatared at 2022-06-30 16:44:10

If they said they would do a thing they should do it Just my view

beryl77 at 2022-06-30 11:39:58

Ordered paint and rollers from B&Q. Delivered this morning. Is it a problem that they said they would give me a timeslot but did not. Said they would call but did not. Should I just be happy with the paint

ThatJack at 2022-06-22 16:25:36

It seems quite lovely

brianN4 at 2022-06-16 12:33:56

It's too hot. And muggy. And just uncomfortable

Lesley87 at 2022-05-19 22:30:51

I saw a little of it today. It is coming

Rach73 at 2022-05-15 14:19:15

It's around here, somewhere

brianN4 at 2022-05-12 18:56:43

Almost. For me, summer starts 1st June

ThatJack at 2022-05-11 19:09:24

Is summer here

Chris59 at 2022-04-26 20:19:44

The holiday. Surely. Just saying

BigJoe at 2022-04-20 08:11:49

Next up May Day. Now that's a holiday

Rach73 at 2022-04-15 17:03:56

Holidays can be tricky like that

Peter725 at 2022-04-12 19:07:58

Easter, that sort of snuck up on me

Rach73 at 2022-03-17 11:05:27

GWR. What's wrong with them

beryl77 at 2022-02-21 12:30:37

For a short month February can drag

Lesley87 at 2022-02-14 16:42:45

Valentine's Day

It's here. Things seem the same

Rach73 at 2022-02-12 06:31:43

Valentine's Day

I'm up first thing and can't see it

BigJoe at 2022-02-11 20:34:50

Valentine's Day

Valentine's day Monday. Just saying

JennnyFF at 2022-01-28 11:10:11

It's Friday. All day

Lesley87 at 2022-01-19 00:04:52

And then it's gone. A few weeks, maybe a couple on months and things will warm

ianxyz at 2022-01-18 18:43:44

Winter is here

Rach73 at 2022-01-08 11:36:30

It's been cold. Can't someone do something about it

Peter725 at 2022-01-07 16:30:13

There was an old year?

chatared at 2022-01-04 10:04:45

New Year seems a lot like the old

brianN4 at 2021-12-29 11:31:58

Christmas

Been and gone. Next up - New Year

Imaniman at 2021-12-25 08:42:09

Christmas

It's Christmas. I'm pumped

ianxyz at 2021-12-23 10:27:47

Christmas

Christmas almost here. Time to start shopping

BigJoe at 2021-12-18 22:59:54

Work From Home

I can't drive the lorry from home. Believe me, I've tried

Lesley87 at 2021-12-16 13:47:16

Work From Home

I'm working from home again. I could get used to this

Rach73 at 2021-12-08 15:49:26

Christmas

That sort of sneaked up on me

JennnyFF at 2021-12-07 09:45:33

Or a Christmas nightmare

brianN4 at 2021-12-07 09:09:05

A Christmas wish?

GabIt at 2021-12-07 08:21:18

Arteta out

Rach73 at 2021-11-29 23:32:56

Dove soft winter, that is a phrase

Chris59 at 2021-11-27 16:54:34

Arwen, a Welsh name. They can be dove soft or challenging. Or both

Rach73 at 2021-11-27 14:03:33

It's here and apparently it has a name

ianxyz at 2021-11-25 12:56:13

Cold clear day. Winter is coming

ThatJack at 2021-11-24 14:01:13

That's a drat moment

chatared at 2021-11-24 11:33:17

Someone nicked my old bicycle. It was a bit ropey - but, really

BigJoe at 2021-11-20 06:56:52

Christmas

I'm up early on a Saturday. If that's not Christmas . . .

brianN4 at 2021-11-16 22:08:19

Christmas

What, you're all Christmas now

Imaniman at 2021-11-16 20:49:53

Christmas

It's never too early for Christmas

Rach73 at 2021-11-14 11:19:50

Christmas

You're going early

JennnyFF at 2021-11-12 19:02:54

Christmas

Christmas, I'm already done with it

Chris59 at 2021-11-11 19:13:56

Remembrance Day evening

Peter725 at 2021-11-10 20:56:08

Kids can do funny things to you

GabIt at 2021-11-10 20:53:57

England beaten. Haven't been a cricket lover but the kids are into it for whatever reason. Wasn't quite as bad as watching Arsenal at the start of the season but something like that

Chris59 at 2021-11-04 18:45:06

Aren't they a bot on the pricy side

beryl77 at 2021-11-02 08:15:20

You could get a heat pump

BigJoe at 2021-10-29 22:19:00

Boilers can be like that

ThatJack at 2021-10-29 13:56:43

Boiler knackered. Looked at it hard but it refuses to work

Rach73 at 2021-10-22 16:33:38

Halloween v Bonfire Night

I'd say bonfire night but the kids look at me and say Halloween

BigJoe at 2021-10-22 07:44:41

Halloween v Bonfire Night

Bonfire night

Chris59 at 2021-10-21 16:22:50

Halloween v Bonfire Night

Halloween v Bonfire Night. Where do you stand

beryl77 at 2021-10-12 20:42:41

It is getting chilly. What's all that about?

Rach73 at 2021-10-11 21:44:36

Imaniman at 2021-10-04 20:40:25

Nothing creeps up on me. I stay super aware

ianxyz at 2021-09-30 16:19:55

Things creep up on you

Rach73 at 2021-09-30 14:16:34

It's October tomorrow. How did that happen

GabIt at 2021-09-27 10:24:10

Apparently there is a God

ThatJack at 2021-09-24 16:20:19

Unfortunately (?) many would not not

BigJoe at 2021-09-24 12:19:05

They should fight it out, after Joshua vs Usyk I'd pay to watch that

ianxyz at 2021-09-24 08:16:38

You can't trust the members. They have opinions

Chris59 at 2021-09-23 16:55:12

It is a little disappointing. But you do get used to it

brianN4 at 2021-09-23 13:48:55

I've been a member for 15 years. But getting rid of one person one vote, I am asking what's the point

Rach73 at 2021-09-07 23:43:37

Supermarket

Got a supermarket delivery today. It was someone else's. Tofu. Spare ribs. Seems an odd choice, but that's just me

SpudULike at 2021-08-28 20:12:16

I can. Funny how that thing works

GabIt at 2021-08-28 20:00:17

Are we going down. Is that our fate. I cannot even say result today

Chris59 at 2021-08-25 12:40:13

It's luckily running into Autumn

Rach73 at 2021-08-23 22:04:54

What happened to the summer

brianN4 at 2021-08-22 22:52:42

2 matches 2 defeats. It is a labour of love

GabIt at 2021-08-14 05:39:16

Not going to lie, I'm brooding

BigJoe at 2021-08-12 00:08:59

I went of Holiday once. I remember there was a caravan. And rain

beryl77 at 2021-08-10 22:43:22

Going on holiday for the first time in over a year

Chris59 at 2021-08-07 16:14:57

The Lions kick off in 45 mins. There is no weather until after that

Rach73 at 2021-08-07 15:16:21

What happened to the sun?

beryl77 at 2021-08-05 00:07:24

Ice cream

After midnight and I'm eating ice cream. Must be August

BigJoe at 2021-08-02 20:05:13

Next Saturday, the decider. Set up nicely

Chris59 at 2021-07-31 09:55:44

Lions to make it 2-0. Here's hoping

Lesley87 at 2021-07-19 19:28:35

Temperature

I melted a couple of days ago

BigJoe at 2021-07-19 17:15:06

Temperature

Just too hot

ianxyz at 2021-07-13 20:03:01

Did feel for them in the final. So close. And at home

brianN4 at 2021-07-13 09:17:39

They gave it a crack. That's all you can ask

Rach73 at 2021-06-13 10:31:53

It's baking, in case you were wondering

ianxyz at 2021-06-04 08:29:48

If they are not providing email, then is all you are getting a domain? In that case you own the domain and its data, so it depends on the contract - if you walk away will you still be liable for web-hosting charges from the host you have left? If not then leave

brianN4 at 2021-06-03 19:06:53

They have her domain. And if they are as underhand as they seem, that might not end well

Chris59 at 2021-06-03 11:39:19

Can't you just walk away from them

beryl77 at 2021-06-03 09:10:09

I have a small web site on a web hoster. I signed up for hosting and email. Now they are directing me to an outsource email service which charge extra. It's the straight-faced gall that gets me.

bbee at 2021-05-28 15:22:19

A long weekend

I've been needing this

GabIt at 2021-05-24 13:17:30

Arsenal Europa Conference

The bright side is that we avoided the Europa Conference unlike Spuds who feel right into it

Chris59 at 2021-05-22 22:28:40

It's around here somewhere

Lesley87 at 2021-05-20 14:37:38

It was freezing last night. What happened to global warming

BigJoe at 2021-05-13 15:52:50

Arsenal Europe

I understand they beat Chelsea. So there's that

Rach73 at 2021-05-10 21:56:30

Arsenal Europe

Could be worse. My dad supported Fulham.

brianN4 at 2021-05-10 19:07:13

Arsenal Europe

If they do, it will be the first time in 25 years

GabIt at 2021-05-07 10:40:33

Arsenal Europe

No Europe next year. Can we blame Coronavirus?

Chris59 at 2021-05-04 22:45:21

Spring what happened?

GabIt at 2021-04-20 15:38:39

Super League

I don't know whether to laugh or cry

brianN4 at 2021-04-19 08:44:19

Back in the office

Back in the office from May. It has been a year

beryl77 at 2021-04-17 20:27:19

Twitter down but Hackney Books is up. Odd world

Chris59 at 2021-04-16 09:08:27

You're not wrong

ianxyz at 2021-04-16 08:37:17

The first Friday to feel a bit like a Friday in a year

beryl77 at 2021-04-14 23:34:26

I can see that. Really

Lesley87 at 2021-04-13 23:34:52

He suffers for us, not for himself. Not that at all

Rach73 at 2021-04-13 20:57:23

Supporting the economy - you are doing your duty

BigJoe at 2021-04-12 23:22:40

We have started to reopen. Went to the pub to check

ThatJack at 2021-04-05 12:50:57

Water off. Again

GabIt at 2021-04-04 00:06:18

Do they try. I mean they must. But to be rolled over without bothering sticks in the throat. They're paid wheelbarrows of money for that

ianxyz at 2021-03-30 23:00:48

You went outside?

Rach73 at 2021-03-30 20:42:35

Felt like spring today. First time for a while

bbee at 2021-03-27 18:11:00

There has been a lot of them - they even stretch into Saturday, You end up asking yourself how did that happen

Lesley87 at 2021-03-26 22:14:16

Eating chocolate, drinking wine and waiting for Easter. Friday night in Lockdown

GabIt at 2021-03-21 19:01:41

Arsenal 6 Goal Thriller

I cried. Then I laughed. It's what they do

Rach73 at 2021-03-16 13:38:03

Feeling good

Of course not

bbee at 2021-03-16 11:35:23

Feeling good

I know it's coronavirus and lockdown, but is it bad that I'm feeling good

Rach73 at 2021-03-09 21:26:19

They serve cake?

Chris59 at 2021-03-08 22:56:10

Got vaccinated. Piece of cake

ianxyz at 2021-03-04 19:22:19

Broadband

I remember outside. Nice it was

chatared at 2021-03-02 15:50:47

Broadband

There's an outside now?

brianN4 at 2021-03-02 15:37:42

Broadband

It's a lovely day. Thinking of popping out myself.

bbee at 2021-03-01 22:51:51

Broadband

Broadband has fallen over again. It's almost as if it wants me to go out

Lesley87 at 2021-02-21 22:54:51

Another Sunday

Tell me about it

Chris59 at 2021-02-21 22:54:02

Another Sunday

Life can be like that

GabIt at 2021-02-21 21:20:23

Another Sunday

Another Sunday, another Arsenal loss. You know it's coming but you can't get used to it

BigJoe at 2021-02-10 17:53:19

It's gone now. I missed it

brianN4 at 2021-02-08 15:37:15

It is a winter wonderland

bbee at 2021-02-08 12:07:10

There's snow everywhere

SpudULike at 2021-02-03 23:11:22

Wolves Arsenal

It ought to be

Chris59 at 2021-02-02 22:36:36

Wolves Arsenal

A type of handicapping system?

GabIt at 2021-02-02 20:41:29

Wolves Arsenal

11 against 9. Of course they win.

brianN4 at 2021-01-26 12:02:35

It's hard to know if they are bad or just clueless

bbee at 2021-01-26 08:15:08

PC World are terrible. Just to let you know

GabIt at 2021-01-24 13:00:16

Arsenal concentrate on the Premier League

Lesley87 at 2021-01-22 08:12:32

Lockdown does suck

ThatJack at 2021-01-21 21:07:45

Just got in and the boiler is not working. I'm looking at it hard but it's no go. More lockdown expense

Rach73 at 2021-01-17 23:36:46

Chris59 at 2021-01-17 23:35:13

An honourable draw is sometimes the best we can do

GabIt at 2021-01-14 22:39:12

A 0-0 draw. Against Crystal Palace. It pretty much sums me up.

bbee at 2021-01-05 23:29:42

Another Lockdown

No masks. No social distancing. Just saying

Chris59 at 2021-01-05 23:26:53

Another Lockdown

The hokey cokey

Lesley87 at 2021-01-05 17:45:54

Another Lockdown

In out shake it all about

SpudULike at 2021-01-05 17:40:01

Another Lockdown

Working today. A lockdown doesn't look bad
