Be Excellent To Each Other

You're right! We better nip this in the bud and get the forum back on track again; back in touch with it's roots.

So, what type of bin is everyone using these days?

Stop that trash talk and shut your whore mouth.

Put a lid on it and shut your whore mouth.

Can it and shut your whore mouth.

Then take it outside.

But only on a Sunday night.

Happy 40th to Rodney, wherever he may be.

I can't get a visual.

He prefers to be called Dave

Which reminds me of the best quote:

Mike: "What name have they decided on?"
Trigger: "If it's a girl they're calling her Sigourney after an actress, and if it's a boy they're naming him Rodney after Dave."

Trigger, of course, was called Colin.

So why was he called Trigger... did he carry a gun?

...

I don't understand why Only Fools and Horses gets the acclaim it does.

Related to this conversation, I took a picture of our boy last night and he pulled a face that I think makes him look just like Del Boy:

I don't know what happens there, or how to fix it

Nope, me neither. Some of it is quite funny but it's hardly the pinnacle of comedy.

No, he looked a horse.

Finally.

O/

Bit of a result. Checked what Saturn games I've got and found two that fetch eighty quid each.

\o

In other news: the house down the road had Christmas lights on it tonight.

Lots of them.

Feex

But Del Boy fell through the bar. He fell through the bar! The bar!

And then Trigger made a face.

That and the wrong chandelier landing on the floor.

Ah, the famous Diwali Santa Claus! We do have a lot of Diwali fireworks going off tonight, but there is a house on the way to our workplace that has a full Christmas scene including a 20ft tall Snowman in a hot air balloon up from November 1st each year. They come down in March.

I bet their neighbours despise them.

We have a Diwali Homer Simpson round the corner

It had a Santa on.

Nice... What are they?

"Burning Rangers" and "Three Dirty Dwarves", neither of which I'd heard of.
Considering I bought the console and twenty games for about thirty quid from a boot sale I'm very pleased to find it's worth about five hundred quid in total.

Yep. Those games seem to have gone up and up recently. I sold a cult of burning rangers for exactly £40 about 2 years ago.... I thought I'd done well at the time.

Since I ditched public transport and started driving to work I've felt a heck of a lot more relaxed and have far more time in the evenings than I used to. I'm also drinking less as I don't feel the need to nip into a pub rather than wait in the cold for a bus.

The only downside is that when the roads aren't busy, I'm getting to work far earlier than I'd like to (there's only so much aimless wandering I can do in the morning, and the library isn't open at that hour). I think I need to risk leaving the house a bit later and not worry about getting caught in traffic or being unable to find a parking space.

Can't you just sit in the car and listen to the radio if you get in early?

You know, that never occurred to me! I tend to listen to the radio when I'm walking the mile or so in from the car park or ambling round town so wouldn't be too different. I usually have a book in the glove box anyway. Still, getting in early means leaving earlier and less time stuck in the rush hour traffic (although I tend to enjoy taking the scenic route back to avoid the A34).

I really need to change my embarrassing password for the odd occasion I have to provide it to the cute IT girl!

"Mother's maiden name?"
"Hitler"

Wait... cute IT girl?

Wait. Why would a IT person need to have your password?

Who does Bobby work for? Just checking so I know if I need to shut down any accounts before my card details hit the internet.

Reset, then tell them to reset again when you're done.

"What's your password?"

"7inchesofcoldhardsteel"

I don't know, but she set everything up for me so I don't really care. Not like there isn't anything she can't already do with it that she cant without it.

That sentence hurt my head.

Hardly. Doesn't have a capital letter.

It was playing in Asda (not The Asdas) last night, but they were unwilling to go full on Christmas radio (although I think there was one other Christmas song, but I can't remember what it was).

John Lewis started their Christmas music when the two minutes silence finished.

Which must have sounded pretty odd.

Well, they said it would be over by Christmas.

Fucking hell yeah - going from the silence straight into the first play-through of christmas tunes? That must have been a proper WTF moment.

Especially as Christmas songs are so shit.

It depends who drums on them.

Going for an eye test tomorrow, I'm pretty sure that I need glasses. Still I've got to 42 without them and all the rest of my family are pretty much a bunch of magoos so not too bad I suppose. Mainly for distance stuff really, noticed it when playing golf a lot and a bit when flying planes. I also tried on Mr Burrrt's glasses and it was like the world was in HD.

Mate I loved it when I got mine. Driving at night was so much less fraught with danger.

Pretty sure I'll end up choosing some that somehow look ok in the shop but actually make me look like a total arse.

Take someone with you. And get the anti-glare coating.
