What's his obsession with hating Europe?

It's been pretty stressful, not gonna lie! I was visiting him every day straight after work and also dealing with random messages he'd send during the day. Ended up picking up that flu that's going around on Friday and was totally wiped out the entire weekend, recovered enough by Monday to work (I work from home) but yesterday I was wiped again so took the day off sick. I only managed to see him on Monday but due to being ill I haven't had chance, and the number of requests from him for me have been rising.

My dad's still in hospital but they've found the infection and he's been feeling a lot better and mentally doing better too, and he's having physio and OT sessions to help get him back on his feet, but his mobility was so bad before hand they might wonder if he's safe to go back home on his own.

How are you finding having decaf coffee? It's not something I've really done yet, but I think I have a good handle on my coffee intake, I'll have two cups in the morning and then switch to tea until mid-afternoon.

Ah got you. I interpreted it as that larger vehicles are subject to slower speed limits.

I'm confused, you said the bigger the vehicle then the lower the speed limit in your original comment.

Normalise down voting posts with this bullshit censorship.

I tried reading The Handmaid's Tale several years ago and struggled to get into it, I felt like it kept jumping around but it wasn't immediately obvious right away. I think I ended up giving up about 25% the way through which I've never done with any book. I'd seen the show too which I thought would have helped. Maybe I'll give it another go sometime.

I didn't know these words were distinctly British.

What about knob? "He's such a knob", "Oi, knobhead!"

I've seen this happen with 24 - seeing camera crews and other people in certain shots.

When I rented a flat nearly 10 years ago, we had to get a wireless broadband solution as the local area hadn't got any decent broadband installed yet (despite being a brand new village between two towns), however to install it they needed to drill through the entire wall. To do that I needed the landlords permission, but it turns out it was owned by someone (or an entity) in China and the estate agent couldn't get ahold of them, so I said fuck it and just said yes they can go ahead and do it.

Imagine the possibilities!

  • Heated camping mattress
  • Sausage roll warmer
  • Car windscreen defroster

Cheers for asking! Been a pretty chaotic week for various reasons, including but not limited to having to call an ambulance and fire brigade for my dad to get him to hospital on Friday.

I think what made that so annoying at the time was that by that point we knew the show was coming to an end but the story was moving at a snail's pace. There was less and less time to cover an enormous amount of content and it felt like Naomi's arc was taking way too much time.

Re-watching it later was more enjoyable.
