Nice people thread part 7 - a thread in its prime

Moon - remembered to turn over, but no idea what's going on as the signal's been too choppy, then the signal strength dropped to under 50% and the telly retuned itself for 3-4 minutes... now it's kind of working, but I've no idea what's going on

Oh ... no, it's breaking up again.

Growth areas in Aus for Gen to consider: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2254869/Australias-sex-drugs-rock-n-roll-boom-How-strong-economy-Down-Under-led-ilicit-sidelines.html

My old work used to teach sugarcraft baking and they used to send people to tour the country displaying their work.

Noticed that it was the top of the list of desired trade skills needed for Australia (ie shortage areas they wanted to encourage) Years ago but wonder if its still relevant.

there is a bit of grey in it, but it's nothing like as grey as my hair. i did get some icing stuck in it yesterday, but i was drunk. gf seems indifferent. i think she probably wants it to go but doesn't want to say as if she does it will incentivise me to keep it.

Sorry PN but an 10 quid scart lead is a posh alert - they are a quid on ebay, probably could have got a freeview hd box with a scart lead thrown in for 20 quid on ebay/tesco outlet.

This is how it goes ... somebody lends you a telly and you realise, once you've got it home, that it needs a "funny lead". Next day you're at work, but believe that getting a "funny lead" will fix everything. Thing is, when you leave work - in a town you are unfamiliar with, there's a Sainsbury's across the road, so in you go and they're £10. Now, at this point you can go home to stare at 4 blank walls again ... or buy the soddin' thing.

No ebay - needs internet. Didn't have Internet then.... In fact, to even use ebay I'd also need to change my address on that and on Paypal - more logging on pain. So not straight forward. Also, P&P, plus waiting, could have been a few days. Then - silly small postbox - funny lead probably wouldn't fit in there, so I'd have arrived home 2 days later to find a card telling me to collect it from a Post Office/depot that I've no idea where it is, that's probably open office hours, so the only time I could collect would be the following Saturday ...

So, posh alert or not, it was the only solution really.

I've begrudged every darned penny of that £10 since the moment I saw the price tag.... I can't get over my feelings of loss and it pains me to have spent/wasted so much... but, at the time, standing there, alone in a shop in a town where I have nothing and know nobody ..... it seemed like my only access to entertainment

Almonds?

I got a reduced '3 nut roast Sains finest' down from 6 quid to 1.64. It is the first food i have bought from Sains that had 'red' in every segment of their traffic light nutrition circle.

Working tomorrow so bed time

I hate almonds... won't eat anything that contains them. Hate the taste.

I don't like marzipan, but I do like Amaretto. Perhaps almonds should go on my nut list?

i like almonds but they annoy me in a mixed nut selection (although not as much as the presence of raisins, which in my view do not go with nuts).

Can it be sold to a hair loss clinic for transplant purposes?;)
It could end up on the head of a balding film star or footballer:beer:

Oh and pistachio cream sounds like it needs to be tried!
