When I click on that I get, 'The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: 4.
You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 30 characters excluding wildcards'

But #4 must be an extreme version of the new vagazzle made only with textiles.

Yeah, the automatic hashtagging should probably skip small words.

And, as I don't have a great deal to do today, expect that to happen fairly soon.

Here’s a bit of trivia:

s01e13 of The Big Bang Theory in the “Bat Jar Conjecture” the boys are discussing who should join the boys in the physics bowl. Raj suggests the actress who plays Blossom because she has a Ph.D in neuroscience. She eventually joins the cast in the s03 finale as Amy. Amaze at my observed knowledge cause I’m watching that episode now.

I've built all my Christmas Lego, which also ends the current series of modular buildings so now I'm sad.

But then I looked online today and they've brought out another Creator Expert modular building! Yay! I might also have to branch out into Ninjago as they have a city building that is compatible with the Creator Expert building series.

I'm also looking at holidays because I haven't had one in ages and I need an actual holiday to relax and it's rained all day and it's cold. But my passport expired and urgh, it's too annoying getting a new one.

When did you start collecting them? You could always consider going for Lepin clones of some of the earlier sets.
There's also the Fishing Store and Ghostbusters Firehouse that could be added to your street.

October! So yes, I'm missing a lot. With the diner, I will have 6 of the 13 total sets. I have found some of the others online so I will get as many of those sets as I can. I don't like the idea of clone sets, the Lego sets are amazing and so well imagined that I couldn't get a copy. I'd probably rather leave a space than not have a genuine set.

I love the look of the fishing store!

Ordinarily I’d agree, but the first few are priced well into the hundreds so I’d struggle to justify that cost and would consider a clone if I wanted a full set. Fortunately I don’t have room so haven’t been tempted yet.

I’ve got an unopened Pet Store for sale at some point if you are interested?

Oh I know, the first or so 3 in the series are ridiculously expensive. I've been looking at the fire brigade, town hall, pet store, grand emporium as realistic possibilities so I'd definitely be interested in the pet store you have!

We just went to see a house and I really liked it. Really really liked it. More than I thought I would when I looked at the pictures. I'm now paranoid that I really like it because it isn't my current house, which is a possibility.

I never know in these situations how much to just go with your heart and how much to be sensible. I mean, what's the worst that can happen? ;) (Please don't actually tell me all the bad things that can happen :S )

Not really. Emotionally because it was my ex's choice and I wasn't heard and I resent that. When I bought him out it was for practical reasons not because I genuinely wanted this house. Practically, there's no real way of adding a usable 3rd bedroom, and the kitchen is too small with no way to improve.

They're great fun. It's an excellent and refreshing way of spending time with mates. And you can of course repair to the pub afterwards for the post-mortem.

I found that doing it as a group of four is fairly optimum, as it gives you all opportunity to contribute and discuss things in a measured manner.

I've done it in larger groups and it can become a bit of a bun fight. And you want to do it with clever people in order to succeed in the more mind-bending logic puzzles, but make sure they're not too clever. I did one with a scientist from CERN and I was even more of a spare wheel than usual.
