What an oddly specific amount

Good work! What's he playing on?

I have a feeling that Switch users are still getting used to it so it's not quite so tough out there.

My sister and her husband are over from South Africa, staying with one of their sons and his family in Cardiff. They usually make a trip to Manchester to visit us and some old friends while they’re here, but we decided to drive down on Friday, stay over in a Hotel and make a surprise visit to them on Saturday, staying over on Saturday night and driving back today.

As it was a last minute decision to go, we had a problem finding a room, as The Stones were playing in Cardiff on Friday night, but I finally managed to book a room in Caerphilly Premier inn. We arrived just after 9pm, only to be told they had double booked the room and so they had no vacancies. The manager was very apologetic and was trying all hotels in the area to see if any had vacancies, and we were psyching ourselves up to turn up at my nephew’s to ask to doss down anywhere, when the manager found a room. In Bristol. Around 30 miles away. He called the hotel to ensure they’d hold the room for us, and asked if we wanted to book for two nights. I told him we were visiting relatives in Cardiff, so he said he'd book a room in Caerphilly for Saturday night, free of charge. It’s around an hour’s drive from Caerphilly to Bristol, so not too bad.

We had a great visit in Cardiff on Saturday, and when we booked in at Caerphilly last night, we not only got the room free, but full breakasts for this morning as well.

What a rollercoaster of emotions.

I see so you call them dimlies here not emoticons?

Also we could be about to get into a debate about the difference between emoticons and similes.

A simile is like a metaphor

My softball club has two teams now. The first team (that I occasionally play for) plays in East Midlands Softball League Division 1, and the second team (which I captain) plays in Division 3.

The second team finished joint-top of Spring League D3 with the same points and wins as another team but missed out on the championship due to a 0-2 head-to-head record.

The first team finished joint-top of Spring League D1 with the same number of points, wins, head-to-head record (1-1) and runs allowed so the championship will be decided on the toss of a coin!

While gutted to have missed out on promotion I'm really proud of our efforts and think it may have come a bit too soon anyway. Half of our team are either brand new or in their second season, and we would probably struggled. Hopefully we can keep playing well in the Summer League and get promoted in time for spring 2019!

We've also reached five tournament finals and lost them all, but I haven't been involved due to lack of funds.

In incredible scenes it turns out we read the rules incorrectly and it's only runs allowed versus the teams you're tied with that counts. So we won Division 3. :attitude:

Fuck yes!

I know who you are which is more than about 30% of names in our deadpool.

Are you going to get fucked up by the division 2 teams next season?

There's actually cross-divisional play so we already played all the Division 2 teams in the spring league, as well as all D3 teams twice. Now we're in D2 ourselves we play everyone in all three divisions.

So, there's 3 divisions or 1 division with echelons?

We did, but it would be worth the good faith in offering a refund. They'd got as far as assembling the vertical panels and laying them out - there's a pretty good chance it's fine; the glass is still in our garage and the one we've erected had a heavily-laden fig tree fall on it without damage. I am now super glad we had the eucalyptus removed, that was already shaky in the last batch of winds and would've been straight onto their house.

Oh thank fuck - it was a silver birch that's half the height and a twentieth the width - and it landed in such a way as to do essentially o damage to anything.

No, but I need to take lots of the chestnut anyway. And the hazel. And the apples. And there's already chestnut and cherry knocking around the garden somewhere that I should start seasoning.

I got nicked for speeding yesterday. In Italy, so there go all those urban myths about the traffic police turning a blind eye to speeding motorists. I had to suppress a smile when they told me the fine was €28.70

Last night my XB1X decided to throw the "Quantum Break corruption" spaz. Basically if you install QB on a 1X it can lead to save game corruption. And it did, too. I had to reset the console (the lite one without losing all your shit). I'm hoping it works now as it's a very enjoyable game. Any way the yay came when the code for another 3 months Live worked after resetting the console. I already put 3 months on, but then got a decent deal on another 3 months. However for three days it refused to add, saying something about region (which I then spent about two hours setting to UK on two PCs and my console etc). So now I am all paid up (god, it hurts) until December
