Photoshop had occurred to me as a possible explanation, but I assumed that this was CK's own photo and he was not into practical jokes. So, I immediately discounted what turns out to be the right explanation.

I came back through Heathrow on Monday. At that time there were two lines, one for machine read passports, the other for all other passports. I still found the sign funny, photoshopped or not. I like stuff like that. It's what amuses me, as opposed to fluffy kitten type photoshops.

So pleased to hear that Josh is settling well.

Glad to hear also that DD2 is home.

Just catching up on tonight's Bake Off. Some piping disasters going on here!!

He certainly is, they got through Josh's bottle of tequila (and goodness knows what else!) last night playing an alcoholic version of Uno...this was after going to their SU for drinks and pool beforehand.

I was wrong before, he is not in with the music crowd, he is in with the gamer/pokemon geek crowd, another interest of his.

Fine just super busy having missed a weekend of chores and super tired having missed a weekend of sleep...if I wasn't still behind on the former I would be doing the latter now.

Arranged a possible BTL viewing Saturday AM before DS football and DDs drama and now DD2 (the sick one) has a football match on Saturday morning, this was a viewing rescheduled from last weekend for obvious reasons - perhaps it is not meant to be?

Spirit do you have any electric heaters and an immersion for such emergencies?

michaels, hope you have caught up with yourself by now.

Dd has retrieved an oil radiator from the garage, I have taken the rarely used slow cooker out of the pantry and in extremis there is a micowave in the garage,

OH came home last night, having had a successful business trip and a wonderful time.

It was straight backto reality for him, he had to get logs in and light the woodburner. It was an end to the caviar and champagne as homecoming dinner was slow cooked sweet and sour chicken.

Dog had microwaved chicken and rice.


Aga repair man in tomorrow (today now-Thursday) so a short lived first world problem I hope.

The jar key is great for breaking the seal on jars and safer than a knife. Jars are my biggest problem too. I swear they have got bigger while chocolate bars have gone the other way.[/QUOT
One day, when I am in charge of everything
I am going to legislate to make all packaging capable of being opened by an elderly lady with arthritic hands. None compliant goods will be banned from sale.

I suffer from being small, weak and with poor fine motors skills. as well as jars being nigh on impossible, packets are difficult to tear open. I use scissors, even for dishwasher tablets or have the sort without a wrapper. the grade of plastic for bottles also matters as if it is too soft I squeeze to hard and spill the contents.

Viva I cannot get the link to work so will look again.

As I do not have a Josh, james or youngest, I often use the postman, delivery guy, neighbour or gardener.

No one has ever refused, although opening a screw top bottle of wine early one morning had to be explained to the courier as needed for cooking.

On DD going into halls she took a tin of quality street. How times change.

If you are able to get to lidl spirit it is worth getting the whole set. I use mine all the time. In terms of opening stuff they are transformational. The jar opener is my favourite, but the bottle opener is a close second.

I tried to put up a new link, but because the offer went on sale Monday, it has now been superseded.

Lovely thread
