Perhaps you should use it on your neighbour?

[CB-Saint]

Like this. Like this a lot.

I shall play Ride of the Valkyries at full belt whilst doing so

[Fowllyd]

I love the smell of a deep-fat fryer in the evening…

[CB-Saint]

Smells like Victory

You’ve been lurking on LinkedIn again…

My wife and I are just settling down to our first afternoon intravenous Detol infusion…and a Digestive biscuit.

My mate’s wife who i posted about the other day passed away last night. This has suddenly got a bit real. Poor guy, what can you say, there are no words are there.

[lifeintheslowlane]

Gut wrenching…so sad, this is real life not a numbers game, fuckin’ horrible.

[saintbletch]

You want to to try los testículos del vecino.

That’ll put a smile on your face.

What are you doing using a kitchen fryer? That’s her job. If she squawks about that, remind her whose job it was to fix the bog.

If @CB-Saint is the Fryer of the house, who’s the Chip monk ?
Oh wait…

Fairly easy day in the office. Put my tunes on and the service manager was pleased with the music and we had a chat about bands we like. Quite a lot of crossover.
My fave admin person got us chips. It was nice to see some other humans.
Then at 16.40 a call comes in. Thankfully can wait until Monday but ffs.

Got home ans encountered a rather sweaty topless man as I entered the building. He was off to sit in out car park again. This time with his partner. Each to their own.

Pilfered from my own FB.

There has been much talk of a return to normality. Frankly, I don’t think that’s on the cards.

This crisis has affected so many people, whether they’ve contracted COVID-19 or not.

Most of us are in self-isolation and are very rapidly getting a sense of what it is we actually need.

I think a lot of folk are going to justifiably conclude that we didn’t actually need what we thought we needed.

It’s not a new thought to me. My sister was injured in a road traffic accident when she was eleven, and since then, I’ve long wondered why we actually needed to get to places so quickly.

What we actually need is for people to be fed, housed, educated and safe. We didn’t do a good job on that before this crisis hit.

Let’s not forget that lesson. Let us never return to normal.

I done a zoom with the chaps I play 5 aside with. I think it was good. I’ve ended up pissed a bit early. I’ll have to listen to more music now and make Mrs Fatso angry.

So we’ve been getting a bit annoyed with our upstairs neighbours as they have been a bit noisy. So today things go a bit weird. Another neighbour put a photo up on our facebook group to.say our upstairs neighbours have a dead pigeon in their balcony netting. Another neighbour mentioned they’ve notified them about this but they’re in Wales on lockdown.

Really looking forward to the pigeon decomposing above us.

Also who is making that noise?! It really sounds like them.

[scotty]

Squatters?

[Intiniki]

Other option is the noise is coming from another upstairs flat which isn’t directly above us. I’ve thought some of the noise sounds like a kid running up and down and they don’t have kids.

[gavstar]

A spooky ghost?

[Polski_Filip]

Chill. Its obv Frannie living upstairs
