Not me but my mum was an expert at it. She’d use it to write her shopping lists or jot down the questions in a pub quiz.

I’ll probably not watch Dancer in the Dark again but will listen the heck out of the soundtrack at every opportunity. It is stunning.

Guitar. My dad gave me his 1964 Guild T100D when I was about 15. So I’ve had it for… 40 years!
It’s a beaut. Thin, sunburst hollow body with a pair of humbuckers and beautiful f-holes

Elvis used to love a horror. Think he liked the screaming

Fried butter beans.
Tin of butter beans - drained

Garlic - fried lightly in lovely olive oil
Add beans to pan and fry gently til they get a bit of crispiness in them.
You should really then add salt, chilli flakes and a splash of apple cider vinegar but that would be cheating the 3 ingredient rule.

I’ve just my NE England house all nice and working without leaks. I cannot be arsed to move again but will have to if those shitlords get in

My 20 year account got banned for using Apollo sideloaded. I still go there but let’s be honest, lemmy has far better memes

My cat, Skippy had terrible seizures, throwing herself around the room. It was terrifying.
Turned out it was her flea collar. Heard of other people who’ve experienced the same thing

Working night shift 8-8 over Christmas so will have a proper Christmas Day with my wife and daughter (+bf) on Sunday.
Pain in the arse but… triple time so January pay will be nice.
Had an early Christmas down at my brother’s which was bloody great. Don’t get to see him as often as I’d like so every time is special.
Gonna make the usual favourite of Brazil nut roast en croute. Piece of piss to make but delicious and really fits the occasion. Also: cabbage in a “cheese” and peanut sauce, red cabbage, sprouts, carrots, roast parsnips and one million crunchy roast potatoes. Can not wait!

Hope you all had a great Christmas!

If you get sick of it, £70 gets you a full kit which is dead easy to install yourself from uk water filters

Got a mate who lives in Singapore stopping over for a couple of nights. I’m working nights so I won’t get to see much of her but it’s great to catch up no matter how briefly.
Installed a water filter under my sink. I now have a third tap which dispenses delicious cold water. My water stinks of chlorine most of the time so it’s such a treat to not be drinking swimming pool water anymore!

I hope your week is going well. And thank you for asking

Can I plug my book in to charge?
Sorry I’m still charging my cigarette

Good stuff, thank you! Just downloaded abrp and will give it a go on me next road trip. Cheers

Finally took the plunge and bought an ev. 2nd hand Citroen E-C4.
My old Kona was starting to develop engine faults and I’m sick of all the things that can and do go wrong with all those cogs, belts and pistons.
Just my luck the Citroen arrived with a bloody fault. Weird buzzing noise coming from the head unit which was diagnosed as a faulty vacuum pump. Company said they’ll fix it. If they don’t they’ll take it back.
Apart from that I really love it. Never had an ev or even an automatic before so it’s weird having nothing to do with your left hand and foot.
It’s on charge atm via a 3 pin plug until I can afford a proper charger.

Hope you’re having a good one so far.

Ah crap
