But the beer chaser to the G&T gives it away.

They’re good at wine but the draught beers ain’t so good so I have to settle for bottled Doombar. Her Ladyship sticks to a Slow Comfortable Screw. :smiley: Don’t know how much but I expect the Doombar is about £4.50.

You have it in one. We refuse to use Cunard as we want to keep in touch with our common roots. Jewels are kept in the safe and only come out for formal evenings.

Funny you should say that but we stopped off in Belfast on Tuesday and I felt obliged to do the “Titianic Experience” as people had said how good it is. However her Ladyship and myself thought it was crap.

Going up to town to the office…on a Friday And knowing I’ll be having food and starting a long leisurely afternoon in the boozer (& leaving the mother in law with Mrs C_S)

Lovely weather forecast too.

It was a story of 2 halves

This is a little pleasure for everyone that reads it.
Needed a new cartridge thingy for the trimmer - had considered buying the plastic string stuff and winding it on myself, but decided against this, thankfully!
Took a not of the model number, and in I go to order on line.
After several hours no luck.
Fucking and blinding about Black And Decker not making my model anymore. Was it really that old?
Mrs TB, sat beside me, calmly said “we’ve never had a Black and Decker strimmer”.
Huh says I, off I go to check. Come back a little embarrassed - ours is NOT Black and Decker! Onto the correct website, ordered in seconds!

Been helping my mum clear out a lot of her old shit over the last 6 months, as we’ve been doing a fair bit of gardening and decorating so make regular trips to the tip. Pop round today, she had a bag of garden rubbish, 8 old tiki lamps, and a box of random toot which seemed unreasonably heavy for the size of it. I get to the tip, and as I’m about to dispose of the box I have a quick rummage and find an ever so slightly rusty Le Creuset griddle pan, needless to say it did not go in the tip and after even the briefest of clean ups it already looks ten times better :lou_lol:
