Having just bought a new pair of glasses, I can confirm that glasses frames are of varying sized widths, some behind to small for my head. The lack of pinching in the newly purchased pair it's nice. (sadly I can't see a thing out of them and have to take them back)

I have a cool story but it's too late to type it out now.. Someone remind me to tell it tomorrow when I'm at a keyboard.

Is it cool? Or is it Malicool? Shit, is it VisiCool? These are all very different things.

Yes. Yes, they are.

The swifts have gone, but we now seem to have daily fly-pasts of parakeets.

Are they the rose ringed parakeets? We used to have a load of those near us growing up, always in flocks of 15-20+. I thought they'd escaped from a pet shop or zoo the first time I saw them!

Yes, I think they are. We seem to get a flock of around 10 flying over in the early evening, probably heading for wherever they roost at night. I first noticed that they were in the area a few months ago when I was picking up my granddaughter from school one afternoon.

I assume it goes: VisiCool > Cool > MaliCool?

VisiCool. The spreadsheet for the streets.

I think they've been a relatively common sight in the parks of London and the south since the 80s (I looked them up in a few books when I first saw them as a kid), and have been steadily spreading up the country since as the average temperature rises. I've not seen any here in the W. Midlands, though I have heard there are instances of them. They're so bright and cheery if they're the same ones (green with a pinkish and black necklace (though I can't remember if that was just the males, perhaps) and a bright, strawberry red beak. It felt like I was somewhere more exotic than Neasden when they settled in the garden.

Here’s my story… It’s Visicool!

I may have already mentioned this but I’ll tell it again. A close friend of mine got married at the end of June and not 8 weeks later, it was revealed that he’s been having an affair since March. Everyone found out at the same time and he got kicked out by his wife. It turns out that the lady he’s been seeing is someone he works with. I’ve never met her but she must live local.

Now, fast forward to a few weeks ago when I met Megan. She answered an advert to become our wedding/party band singer. I’d never met her before she auditioned and to be fair, I wouldn’t have done anyway because she lives about 15 miles away. She’s a great singer and I did some filming while we practiced which I showed to another friend (The best friend of the guy who got married/had the affair)

This friend was happily Facebook snooping on the girl who had the affair the other day and what does he turn up, a picture of this girl with my new singer!

It turns out that the two of them are friends and she knew nothing of the affair. All she knows is that she split up with her boyfriend recently but didn’t know why.

What are the chances of these two, seemingly unrelated people knowing each other? Pretty slim I’d say! Small world and all that…

devilman · **Posted:** Mon Aug 21, 2017 11:06

I was half expecting that story to end up with Megan being the other woman.

TheVision! You're story is totally not as cool as the one we all decided on. -10 cool points. +10 MaliCool points.

This friend was happily Facebook snooping on Dan Dare who had an affair the other day and what does he turn up, a picture of this Space Pilot with my new throat singer!

It turns out that the two of them have been at war for years. All he knows is that he split from his boyband recently but didn’t know why.

Saw this reflected on my car windscreen yesterday so looked up and took some snaps:

I've seen rainbows and white rings like that around the sun before in hazy skies but never seen two different circles intersecting each other like that with the sun sat on the perimeter of one of them.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Mon Aug 21, 2017 12:27

Yeah, that's weird. Have you Googled about to see what causes it?

Good job the Z man was here to link us to that story or I'd have known nothing about it.

That's the paper that hates him, right? It certainly seems to.

Here's what Stu (presumably) said:

Quote:

We’ll only be making a very brief comment on the story in Tuesday’s Herald, for hopefully obvious reasons. The piece by Tom Gordon has been written for maximum innuendo to allow the wildest speculations on social media – which are of course duly taking place – but the alleged events relate entirely to some tweets from our Twitter account, none of which have been deleted and all of which are still publicly visible.

Nothing more sinister or serious than some tweets has occurred or been alleged to have occurred. That’s all we’ll be saying on the subject at this time
