I have a Lidl(tm) wheel wrench but unfortunately neither of the socket options fits the Corolla.
Tea was the last of Sunday's roast chicken with carrots & onions.
I was unsure if it would be edible since I've not done it before but it turned out ok.
That hot smoked paprika covers a multitude of sins.
Followed by the now standard orange segments and custard.
It's one of my five a day, honest, though the desert spoon of sugar in the custard probably negates that.
Now consuming the 1.05 pints of good Glengettie tea.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

Now logged off and am off to the cinema to see The Gentlemen (2020) - IMDb.
I have arranged for a local charity to take away the monitors and DVD/home cinema stuff. They will sell on and make some dosh, so I feel better about that.Comment

Boring morning updating crappy little website checkout and Paypal/Worldpay callbacks. They were working ok but generating error logs full of PHP warnings as I couldn't be arsed to put if (isset($_POST before every = $_POST[ bit. What happened to the days of good old sloppy coding, where anything not initialised was just treated as null?
Just the same with jscript too now. "use strict"; NO I F* WELL WON'T! Programming has been taken over by the OCD brigade!
PS No More Nails says on tube that it holds 50kg/cm2. That can't be right surely? You could use it to stop earthquakes.
PPS Watch part 2 of Silent Witness tonight then have another go at my guitar. New year resolution, ends next week.bloggoth

Do I have to give up ketchup? Do I have to be involved in a big accident at the first sign of manure?
Mind you, I could end up like DrS who has a really dull life!Comment
