Ah well, at least it gives your friend an excuse to go and buy a decent car as opposed to the beetle he had previously.Originally posted by Pondlife View PostAfternoon All,
Sorry to hear about those, or with family members who are under the weather. Except for you Nick! Fancy trying to sully the good name of whisky. How very dare you.
Since I'm housebound at the mo i've spent the day ordering various bbq and garden furniture covers after several disappeared during Friday's gales. By disappeared I mean nowhere in my or my neighbours' gardens. Just gone.

Have now removed much brown, green & clear bottlery.

I suppose the cullet will then come out yellow or sommat.Comment
