Spent an ungodly amount of time this evening looking at holiday cottages in Scotland and soft furnishings.

I'm a young man for God's sake! :weep: :lol:

Of course you are, dear. :console:

So stores are starting to put their Halloween shit out.  Who the hell buys Halloween stuff this early?  Old ladies?

I might drag my Christmas Tree out of storage. It'll take me 4 months to untangle the lights.

When I was young I had a great deal of confusion between left and right.  I could never figure out which was which until I was well into grade school.  This morning I thought that had returned as there was a baseball game on at the gym and everything looked wrong; until I realized I was looking at the television in a mirror.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Things were a little cheaper back in 1960.

Yeah, even adjusting for inflation that's damned cheap.  But what is he going to drink?

Didnt have much to do at work today so I came home, went to the beach with J, swam in the ocean for about an hour, went from there to our favourite outdoor lunch place, had a great meal, now its nap time on the hammock.   I love four day long weekends  :)

This is wonderful. The Daily Star had a moaning article about MoD wastefulness because they thought a '5-inch gun' was literally 5 inches long :lol:

 :hmm: The gun is the length of a toothbrush?  If he's talking about travel-size toothbrushes, he should specify that to avoid confusing his readers.
