Two of our daughters, two of our grandsons and one of our daughters-in-law have birthdays this month.
So whilst it's a moot point as to whether or not it's special, there is ittle doubt that it tends to be expensive.
And, for the record, I even bought Fear an item of apparel for his fortieth, a few years back.

I've put Melon on hide, has he apologised yet!??! :3: :19:

Nine years ago. Unbelievable really isn't it?

I can confirm our bins were emptied this morning. It wasn't recycling though, ooooh no, that will be next week.

Interestingly our recycling is collected the same week as yours. Unfortunately not on the same day as we are a day earlier :14:

Frightening is the word I'd use! :10: It's a fair chunk of ones remaining mortality at my time of life. (Cue violins.)

I presume you'll be holding a big bash (to which we'll all be invited) in 2019?

Incidentally, my namesake grandson shares his birthday with you.
 
As JPA remembers I am awaiting by phone line/broadband to be repaired. An engineer arrived today and discarded the fault diagnosed yesterday by the first engineer. The faulty cable is not in fact 21.5 metres from my house it is 12 metres away. And guess what?. It's in the same place as the fault 6 years I ago of which I pointed out to the engineer the exact place they had to dig the footpath up to get to the cable. No shit Sherlock!

So, this is how it goes and it could take 10 days for this to happen

Road digger man comes and digs hole then goes
Open reach man comes next day to repair cable and then goes.
Road digger man comes the next day and fills in hole.

 
Viewed at a certain angle the moon looks to have the facial features of a man. Hence the expression man in the moon. Years ago people used to think the man in the moon looked like a drunk. And that fellow vital villans is why there are so many pubs named after the moon. Such as The half moon, or Moon under the water.

Interesting ?

Well I popped to Sainsbury's earlier and a woman outside tried to sell me a £25 gift card for £15. !!!!

Surely that's a no brainer SD
You offer her £7.50 in the knowledge you will settle at £10 (with benefits)
 
Only realised this is a new thread.

2018? Where's all the flying cars then? Bollocks.

I spent the last week setting up around 100 new computers in the college I go to. By new of course I mean around 6 years old. The caretaker then informed us his son is in the navy and they have computers that are like those hologram ones you see from movies and stuff. Technology is out of control.

He then changed the topic to those 2 cloned monkeys, and warned us of a Planet of the Apes scenario. He's a fun caretaker.

So choose your future, Terminator or Planet of The Apes?

I'd go with the apes because they're probably easier to kill than machines. But we are screwed either way.
 
Morning all.

Shattered today. Gonna go for a walk up to the top of the Beacon at lunch, try and blow away the cobwebs.
 
Morning all.

Still feeling rough and off work. Most unlike me. I don't get ill like this. Normally my problems are muscle related, to my back and neck/shoulder.

However, Mrs Melon has just suggested that maybe I should miss the game tomorrow :3:
 
A beautiful morning spoiled by the realisation that I am surrounded by fucking Idiots.

I know this, I have known it for many year but its on days like this that I am assured I am right.
