Ooops, have done similar a few times on last train back from London to Oxshott. Luckily the line ends in Guildford. The cost of a taxi effectively doubling the cost of a night out.
Are you on the train back yet?
Yep, managed to get a hotel so not the end of the world - the conductor was very nice and wrote me a free single back

When I was at uni in Guildford we used to go up the line to a cider house in Worplesdon, the number of students that feel asleep on the last train back to wake up in Portsmouth was not small

Recipes in newspapers and magazines - specifically the Telegraph. Some are great, I have used (and continue to use) some and I read them with interest but there is an annoying trend fo using ingredients that a) I have to google to find out what they are and b) are not available except online or a specialist deli in Notting Hill. A case in point today - what the f##k is butifarra sausage and what can I use instead of it?
Butifarra is a juicy, mild farmhouse sausage originating in CataluƱa. Seasoned with black pepper and garlic so really any sausage you like
Thank you.
Add a bit of extra garlic if using UK sausages, I guess
Would it have been too much trouble for the author to mention this?
Apple products - f##k them all.
I broke my iPad (donāt ask how - its embarrassing without any sexual connotations!).
Mrs TB had a spare, so thought weād just swap over.
HA HA HA!! Bloody think again, idiots!
Took her all day, plus another 24 hours for the shared calendars to sync and load up. And tbf, she knows what sheās doing with all this IT crap, and was still on the verge of either tearing her hair out, poking a knitting needle in her/my eye, or simply just killing me.
By half way through this process I seriously thought that I donāt want any Apple products, and certainly in the future I will avoid them like the plague.

Just been to stay with stepson and family. In advance they stressed about us doing LFTs and virtually isolating before we came to make sure we wouldnāt give them COVID.
Now home, we learn stepson has COVID, contracted before we got there. And weāve spent the weekend doing our best to catch it from him. Fingers crossed, LFT clear so far.

Suck it up mateā¦the resulting natural immunity is even better than a second booster jab.

Youāre advocating not bothering with masks anymore then?
Interesting. 
Thatās basically my approach now. Iāve been surrounded by it for days so no point in tryi.g to avoid it now
If the symptoms are so mild, and many of us think we have had a bit of a cold, and then LFT donāt pick up on very low viral load, how will we ever know if we have had it?
