My Dad was mainly based at USAMFA Hythe. Met loads of American personnel as kids and invariably were all pleasant and decent. Still keep in touch with some and their families.

Yanks on holiday in Europe? Send ā€˜em home.

I have questions.

What is this all about? Is it just Polish or?
Early Teenage kids everwhere carrying a Dead Duck.
They can’t all be Saints fans carrying an image of our team?

Is it just me, or are the ads on YouTube getting longer and longer.
We have moved from a 5 second countdown to a notice saying ā€œyour video will continue after the adsā€ - which are then 10 seconds, followed by yet another ad, making the first statement a bloody lie!
Every now and then I check to see how much it is not to have ads, then think I’m not fuckin paying that, so continue with cutting the sound every time a series of ads come on; I may have to watch them, but I’m not bloody listening to the unadulterated verbal/oral crap that goes with them.
Cunts.

What a day, I’m exhausted.
The Stable Block had a leaking roof so I had to take remedial action. I say ā€œIā€ but I suppose Chambers did most of the work and I held the ladder…I’m not good on ladders.
It took longer than I thought. It has to be said Chambers isn’t the most spritely of 85 year olds…especially since his accident.
However we got it done before the rain showers so all is good.

Mrs P_F has had an early night.
Netflix in Poland is down.
Shit.
Was planning to watch the Beckham thing tonight.

Little does not apply to this post.

BT TV box won’t show streamed channels. Apps work through it so box is probably knackered. I phone BT to say just send me a new box. They have to run 20 tests then because they don’t understand it must be my fault.

So then they remotely factory reset my router (which isn’t the problem) without checking that I’ve renamed the network and password, so it killed everything connected to it. Hours wasted finding default network name and password and resetting everything. And the TV box still doesn’t work. Obviously.

Then, I’m told to get the Planning Permission I’ve been working for over 5 years, I have to agree to add a penthouse for bats on top. Despite the fact that in 3 bat surveys, 1 bat was seen, not in the derelict barn. FFS.

Set off for Preston (with Mrs S in a foul mood because I’m not being sweetness and light) and so far missed a connection by 20 seconds, three cancelled trains, currently diverting via Manchester wasting much-needed drinking time.

The way things are going, 0-6 defeat incoming probably plus bed bugs and food poisoning.

That is all.

You can meet up with @SimplySaint as he’s just messaged to say he’s had a brain fart and missed the train at Manchester. Mind you he’s a brain fuddled student …

Does anyone else find Prime Video almost unwatchable- making you trawl through things / retail opportunities you’d never watch / purchase in a million years?

Have only watched the latest series of Upload, otherwise it is unmitigated shite. If I didn’t use Amazon for convenience online shopping I’d bin it.

We’ve got a family one because my mother has Prime. The only thing I’ve ever found that I actually wanted to see was the odd occasion when they get the footy rights. Otherwise it’s much like Netflix, in that the simplest test is to ask yourself if you really want to see a particular film. If the answer is yes, it’s not on Netflix.

My Cousin put his Christmas Tree up last week.

Yep, Mrs P_F had me out cutting the grass in payment for being allowed early beers during the game.

Cutting grass?
It’s fvcking November!

For the love of everything, why?
