State of the Game

He's slumming it now as his regular shop was Fortnum and Mason. Lockdown ended that sadly as they'd never heard of Manchester and refused to home deliver.

The hilarious thing here is he's actually being kind to me by not revealing that my favourite is actually M&S but I can't be bothered doing the 15 mile round trip to Manchester very often to go there, plus it's a pain in the arxe to do it by car (city centre is pedestrianised) and I can't carry enough stuff by hand these days to make it worthwhile on public transport - I have to walk up a massive hill to get home from the tram stop and I just don't have the stamina now to do that with four or five bags of shopping. Been seriously considering getting an old biddy trolley since I'm way past caring what I look like with one lol.

Do harrods have a branch up there? And can't you find a minion to carry stuff for you?!

Worth bearing in mind.

I got thrown out of Harrods when I was 17 on one of my infrequent visits to the metropolis. I think my northern genes set off a detector or something.

Well, that's what you get for frightening the natives by saying things like hello, thanks mate or lovely day today.

Did you call someone 'chuck' perchance, or perhaps (schoolboy error) simply make eye contact? Either of those, big no-no!

e. Whoops! As above.

Don't forget ball in a cup. Its a ball attached to a string attached to a cup! Hours of fun for all the family.

ball in cup... how could i forget. almost as much fun as ball attached to paddle.

Always at its most fun when you absolutely twatted it at something and the elastic snapped. Ideally something indoors, breakable and highly valuable.

Yes well if you stopped biting the other inmates you'd be allowed to play real sports.

A sibling would cover all of the above!

Especially where he bites them. When the nurses stop it though, he's content with window licking.

Something similar to that was popular when I was growing up in the mid 90's.

Michael McIntyre isn't funny.

There I said it no regrets.

Most nights still.

And in the afternoon.

If I'm up, the morning as well.

man. 2.5Gig switches are like 10x the cost of 1G ..
Gotta future proof though.

 

[DrinkyBird]

If only I had use for even gigabit Ethernet...

I'm grateful if the local ducks don't lean on my telephone pole and knock out the interwebz.

Okay, you showoff...

Oh well... Glasgow must be well ahead of us southerners. My internet crashed again yesterday (getting a bit too regular recently) and my upstream has hit an all-time low (downstream is getting worse too!)

It was 79999 & 19999 a few weeks ago...
