Mr Slowly and my eldest tried the cafe out this morning and said it was excellent. Pics look great. Rare to find a place that still does kippers for breakfast but that place does. Mr Slowly had the breakfast kebab which he said was really good and the eldest said it's rare he thinks it's worth getting up early but it was so good it was worth it. Next time he's trying out the mega breakfast - traditional fry up with double everything!

I think you can order them online cheaper. You just need the key code or VIN.

Surely you should do that for her, she has arthritis don't you know

You're Cornish mate, you wouldn't be thinking of Cornwall as separate from England if you weren't. I'm happy for people to revel in whatever heritage makes them happy. Proud Brummies, Liverpudlians, Londoners, etc etc. I struggle with the idea of adding more borders and segregating sections off as different. Though I completely understand London centric politics does no-one outside London any favours and most of us outside London would like them to piss off with their lack of understanding or appreciation for a way of life away from that little circle! It's a shame that a tiny island of only 88 thousand square miles is so at odds with one another they want to break that in to even tinier pieces. I place the blame firmly on the shitty psychopathic shoulders of those in charge that everyone feels the need to run in a different direction claiming they're not part of it.

I was aiming at shits n gigs saying you know you are in England (technically you are ) but we may have touched a nerve here. I recommend hiding this nerve as quickly as possible @Saul there's nothing liked more round here than a new raw nerve

Is it obligatory for choirs to dress in school uniform? I hate to break this to you but you are in England Good luck Saturday. We expect to see the footage! Last shift? Got another job?

I used to absolutely love going to work with my dad. Nice work.

I went to the supermarket yesterday which turned into a bit of a pita cos they’ve closed the road I take and I ended up on a massive detour Then due to my long circuitous route I needed fuel asap and although I’ve seemlessly navigated a million fuel stops in France and Spain I could not make the pump work. It was bloody Fish Friday so the supermarket and fuel station was heaving, me and my British number plate caused a blockage for quite some time while kiosk people had to come out and help.. twice! Turns out if you tap the ‘full tank’ option on the prepay screen it does not work, you have to select £100 or under. Sometimes Lo siento just doesn’t cover it! I dragged my red faced self around the supermarket hoping all the people queuing watching me Frank Spencer fuelling up weren’t in the supermarket when I came across this- Spain has made a wine just for me Can’t remember the last time I had an alcoholic beverage so this morning my head really hurts! This was on display in the supermarket, better than most supermarket promotions! Not worth drinking 0% beer to enter though!

Not the first time a motorbike has caused a nasty collision at a bike race. When I followed cycling it was a shock to see how little slow control the motorcyclists had and I did wonder if they were worth the risk!

Blimey Pete that’s a sensible suggestion from one who’s terminally mechanically challenged.

I can imagine me saying that in my unintelligible Spanish will go down a storm

I'd already guessed your response with a 90% accuracy, I possibly know people on here better than some of my own relatives, how sad or if you met them then perhaps not

Well each to their own, I just don't see any satisfaction in it. Hopefully he does, ultimately that's what matters.

If success is down to whether they like you or not then they sound doomed. But at least you‘ve tried. Good of the headmaster to see you so quickly. What a horrible life for your son. Hopefully when the kids are grown and left home he’ll have that epiphany some people have when they look at their partner and think “Fuck this, I’m off”

I’d find that hard to live with. It’s his life n all that but what sort of life is it? Unlikely the sort you look back on and think, that was a blast or I’m pleased with that or even oh well I had a go. No thanks!

I really didn’t get that, I was thinking wot u on about Bucks the bitchy one

I think they’d make a very nice couple. The sort of couple you’d avoid but a good match all the same.

You wanna be careful posting stuff like that. Six will be asking for a visit and bringing his sleeping bag

What a lovely neat shed!

Yes and no. He's extracting himself from things now other family can be put in the frame but he's not completely out. The kitchen fitters are looking at the flat next Thursday and he's been offered tickets to go and see Tenacious D on the Friday which would be shame to miss out on for the sake of one more day. If all that goes to plan and everything else stays settled (please god) then flight straight after We'll see.

Feel your pain. Have just been discussing my sons (one in particular) not grasping how much life costs and immediately after that discussion the youngest announced he was £300 short on his rent payment - after returning from a shopping trip and planning his weekend out seeing a band etc etc. Mr Slowly said the usual parent stuff like you need to get a job but the reality is while mum and dad bail him out the pain of being potless is unknown to him and that pain is an essential motivator. I've told Mr Slowly not to stress, we just need to stand back, watch the inevitable car crash happen and tow our line on the level of support we're offering. I'm sure soon enough his desire to eat and party will drive him into employment. He's not lazy, far from it, he's a right royal powerhouse when it comes to hard work, it's just the penny still hasn't dropped! Unlike your son he's a uni student so is till getting a lot of living expenses paid by us and the 4k a year graduate tax crap. No way he could afford Bristol without it.

Picking up some supplies and I think the pool opens this weekend so I'll be busy doing sweet fa. Hooray for doing fuck all.

You confused me there, the Combe is Winscombe, The Mighty Combe, that's just Burrington Have you tried out this cafe? Apparently the foods very good although I'm told more restaurant prices than cafe. It was closed when I went so I've not tried it yet. https://goo.gl/maps/uJSD4pYir2Lx8NFNA

I don't think Basecamp's simple Bob When I was trying to get the Garmin to connect to the Mac via bluetooth the device wouldn't be found, I couldn't understand why, I reached AAARGH level and gave up. I sat staring blankly at the list of bluetooth devices and saw one called 'Pretty please work' I thought what's that then? Then it dawned on me the last time I tried to connect to the Mac out here was last September and it was so frustrating when it finally connected I renamed it 'pretty please work' That's Garmin's connectivity for you, at least they're consistent, consistently crap
