Thinking I must be the ' other walking woman' .... After so many people saying they keep seeing me pop up everywhere, just shared a taxi from the rank and the bloke recognised me from spotting me walking ... Cheers mate :up: :)

I've just gone to the tin of Quality St only to have the disappointment of finding out that they have substituted my favourite toffee deluxe (brown wrapper) for something called honeycomb crunch.

And they call this progress?
That's Brexit for you.
Or is it Qu-exit?

:|
Either one is equally rubbish.

That 1 is absolutely minging. I loved the toffee deluxe. At least the chocolates haven't been faffed about with like the Roses have.
Roses finally have a Coffee one & the Brazillian Darkness is SRCUMMY! (not that i eat chocolate, very much, ever)


My week long headache turned out to be Acute Sinusitis - yay for antibiotics......

These things never end well, by 2am you will be going all in on an 8 and a 4.

Is that bad? :P

TBH the game usually lasts way too long and I get pissed and want to go to bed so just all in regardless. Not that I've played for several years as they usually play NYE when I'm not about.

Went to Stafford cinema yesterday to watch the Star Wars film. It was absolutely freezing in there.

Update on this post from May:

The drug dealers from a couple of pages back are still at it, they're so brazen. A couple of customers were just outside and the dealer was telling them about how dank his bud is (his words) and then ranting about customers who go on the Marston road because there's so many cameras on that road, and instead the customers should go on Wogan Street because there aren't any cameras there... as I was stood listening and watching them exchange drugs and money, something that I've caught on camera numerous times.

A large number of police just turned up (a few cars and a van) to the back of the drug dealers property, presumably to arrest them. Looks like the dealers weren't in though as the police left empty handed, but maybe they'll come back and grab 'em some other time, or perhaps they've taken flight and are gone with the wind.

I've spent all day hearing people proudly announce that they've removed all the decorations and cleaned the house, sorted the kids toys away etc etc and feel so much better now. I'm sat here thinking, mine haven't been up a week yet and as far as i'm concerned it's still the festive period. Be merry while you can people, you have plenty of time to be 'clean and tidy'. Mine are staying up at least another week lol

Spent an hour manually configuring a VPN on my router while hungover, dropped my internet speed to 1/6 of what it should be. Worked fine on my desktop, guess the router can't cope :(

I think you're on SSE. If you are using their router then no it can't cope as it did the same thing to me.

I am, but use another router on my side of the network (WD MyNet 750). Didn't even check the vpn on my SSE router as I knew it would be crap, but didn't realise the other one was too!

Christmas went along quite well this year; guests all arrived on time and no burnt turkey. The oil boiler tried to throw a spanner in the works when it started making smoke and filled the kitchen with an acrid smell but managed to get it fixed before it gassed everybody. The only annoying thing has been losing my watch; it must be in the house somewhere but has not appeared in the usual places. I find if I stop looking for lost things they turn up, so am now officially not looking for it.
