    Oh, and I bought this for 8000 rubles (original reg no. A412BX, district 99). Can't remember why!

    Can real people actually fit into it?

    Not sure if I am impressed that you can remember old number plates or concerned that you are quoting them on an open forum. I think I read somewhere of someone getting a parking fine after posting number plates online.

    Chocolate body paint for starters?

    That stuff tastes horrid, and what it might do to your bed sheets doesn't bear thinking about (fwiw we ran out of chocolate spread in hall of residence one day and some one appeared with this as an alternative and even those of us like me who do not routinely eat chocolate spread tried some. )

    If I were going to get food involved in bed it would not be chocolate body paint.

    Now the weather is beautiful here!

    A gorgeous red sunrise....(but no cloud....can it be warning for Friday already?) and frozen ground. I think it's the first morning this winter I have gritted the yard.

    On an MSE theme, chocolate body paint is zero rated for the purposes of VAT.

    It was a nice day here today but starting to get a bit uncomfortable in direct sun at 29C. Tomorrow it's going to be hot in the City and super hot (40++) out West and the peak should be on Friday.

    Australia would like to apologise for this (SFW).

    My first car was a 20 year old Fiat 600 with a top speed of around 45 MPH. I invited a new girlfriend for a spin, and she was less than thrilled to be asked for a push start. That relationship did not last very long.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    My first car was a white Ford Fiesta 1.1L.

    I pimped that ride, like no other :cool:

    You are so lucky not to be working ni an office in the city.

    However the weather forecast for Friday on is a little threatening for your part of the world - are you stocked up with blankets, animal feed, food, prescription medicine etc?...shame Viva is away, as a prepper she would be able to advise better :)
    I think....

    I have to get chicken food tomorrow, but will go to the more expensive shop on the main road routes tomorrow. It's not a long journey.

    Plenty of blankets and other animal food (hmmm, actually better get some thing fopr the cats too as if it's bad their delivery might be delayed).

    Prescription have enough till end of the month. :) blankets and fire wood...plenty.

    The heating is struggling to cope with the colder weather though. I cannot remember if that is normal for heating or not.

    Hopefully, it won't cost much. :)

    Chicken feed ain't the small potatos it used to be. Chicken feed should be come the new measure of not very cheap.
