Am so glad to find out after all these years that I'm not the only one who would dig a bit of Darth.0 -

Iphone's cost a fortune - you stick with your housebrick. I've only got an iphone because of my generous boss - and I love it and if they developed an app to wear it as a borg implant I probably would - BUT if I had to pay for it myself I'd still have my old Nokia 3310 or whatever it was. Iphones also drain the leccy - I'm always having to flipping charge it. And it's addictive - it means I can read the forums under the blankets when I should be trying to get some sleep!0 -

My friend currently has one in storage... I'm sure if I distract her she'll never notice

Declaring NSD 3 for me
. And a fairly productive day! Kinda (room is still a tip, I have moved the clutter around a bit and sorted some of it out... still a long way to go!)
Tomorrow is unlikely to be an NSD as I'm meeting a friend for lunch. Have hardly seen him since he got married and it being exam time for him too.

Wow - that took a lot of reading to catch up - things move quickly round here don't it?? I might have to rewatch Star Wars to refresh my memory as I haven't seen it since first time round (haven't even seen the newer ones) - at the moment Chewbacca is the only one I could see myself as - mmmmn perhaps I'll stick with the hippy look


Anyway, NSD number 2 for me today and hopeful for Wednesday & Tuesday too - time will tell

How very true--talk about a Freudian slip :rotfl:
So--how have you been enjoying your day? It seems I've started something here, but when The Offspring were bubbies we used to call today Star Wars Day, cuz of Yoda & Obi-Wan Kenobi telling folk "May the Fourth Be With You!"
Then again, it would still tie in with a 70s theme wouldn't it! Perhaps we could do one for Brighton & another for Liverpool, altho I suppose the obvious choice would be the 60s & The Beatles, Jerry & the Pacemakers, Cilla..There's plenty of decades so we needn't fall out over it 
As suspected, no nsd for me today--ce la vie
Now. Where's me Ewok scuttled off too...
Ahh... thanks BigMumma, I've been racking my brains all day trying to work out why today is Star Wars day, now I know:j:j:j.
You certainly have started something btw....:rotfl::rotfl:
