    Good morning, well done Snap on the kettle it looks great. No Lidl near enough for me sadly.
    Wonder if anyone can help, my computer has lost its sound, and it is very frustrating
    all connections OK, speakers on, all mute buttons I can find are not on mute. so I am puzzled
    It was OK until DD helped me to restore myfavourites list, and then all went quiet!
    She thinks she may have pressed something by mistake, but we have no idea what.
    any suggestions appreciated, but nothing too complicated please.
    :o:o:o:(:(

    :rotfl: nutter.

    My brother turned 50 last Friday, so I've made a cake for him. Also invited him round for a roast. In a typical fashion one of my other brothers is now coming round with my sister in law and nephew. So right now my house smells of lamb, mint, rosemary and cake :) I'm almost expecting my other two brothers to turn up now. Seems like that sort of day :rotfl:

    Yippee, a family party, how wonderful xx
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Why oh why am I :rotfl:, sorry Snap it's just the image I have of your Clown foot, slapping its way to Lidl and back :rotfl:

    I was persuaded that we didn't need a new kettle, we don't that's true as this one isn't a year old yet and I have a brand new spare in a cupboard somewhere :o :rotfl: :rotfl:

  • Afternoon all,
    I think there should be a re-definition of my nom de plume, should read Eejit, Numpty, Plonker, Feel or just plain Idiot.

    Twice this week have been a proper BH.
    Start of week warned a chum about the 75 shamboo being easy to open and to carry it upright, 2 days later my Bag for Life is very clean and smells of apple

    Then had a chat with my father about being careful when I use the clippers for our hair (moneysaving). YUP! BH strikes again, and this morning doing a tidy up with the attachment in the mirror in bathroom, with 11 for front and 9 for sides, pretty good job. Then…… trimming sideburns and neck etc without any attachment, setting ZERO, went well. Then mind wandering and listening to radio, what’s this I see? I missed a longer bit at the side.. TOO LATE…….. clippers applied to offending hair… Decimated…. Baldy patch of 2 by 4 centimetres at side of heidbangers heid! :eek:

    Did think of making the rest the same, but, Nah! If workmates say “You have a baldy bit”, I will reply “Yup”. If asked what happened will say “ Sex game went wrong” and see what they then say LMFAO. :cool:


    Live and learn, unless you are a smart@ss like BH :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
