So, what happened today?

The hotel we are staying at in Rome only has staff on site in the morning. One evening we came back from dinner and there was a couple who had managed to get in the main door of the building but couldn’t get into the hotel itself. They were French with very little English. I managed to muster up enough to help them get in touch with the guy who ran the reception and explained a few things to them about the hotel.
This morning they just stopped by the breakfast room to thank me again for my help and gave me what they described as a small gift. Absolutely lovely of them but totally unnecessary.
Just opened it now and there’s a bottle of olive oil, a jar of marmalade and a jar of honey. Lovely. Except each one is over the 100ml hand luggage restrictions. So not sure what to do with them now!
Very nice of you to help them & Very nice of them to give you a gift can you post them back home
 
My grass needs water but it's too hot to go out so I'm looking at it instead from the window.
Controversial opinion. Lawns are ecological monoculture dead zones whose only purpose was to flaunt wealth and resources by wasting the land. Unless you are playing football on it stick some native plants out there instead :smirk: .

What's the temperature where you are?
 
I am pretty sure the UK are treaty obligated (and uk companies such as BAE and RR are contractually obliged) to supply relevant parts to all member countries as part of the "joint strike fighter programme" (that develops and maintains the F35). BAE and Rolls Royce significant contributors to the F35 programme and many of the other specialist parts are manufactured or assembled in the UK.

Well, if you have Popeyes, Paddington Bears and Pooh Bears addresses you're sorted?

My lawn has been hay coloured for a good while....still some clover, speedwell, daises and catears knocking about though.
 
And sure enough the high court has ruled that a judgement that "the UK must withdraw from a specific multilateral defence collaboration which is reasonably regarded by the responsible ministers as vital to the defence of the UK and to international peace and security" is beyond the competency of the court....
 
How good were the Prodigy last night? Desperate to see them, but not sure as a 40 year old i could handle standing room area for them. But then, watching the Prodigy sitting down just seems so bleh

Just do it, or you'll regret it :)

I'd have been 34 when I last saw them at Creamfields in 2006, slightly younger I know but wouldn't have missed getting in the mix at all - if anything (assuming their sets are still as manic) it all just adds to the occasion.

(Unless ofc you have a dodgy ticker)

I last saw them at Brixton before they made the floor smooth
Had the seat runners on the floor which you could use for grip
Was around Jilted Generation… west mess
Seen them a few times since at festivals but then just get it
Same as faithless And massive attack
Any dance band works
When you go to big outdoor gig you what either/both to sing and dance like a wally

Thursday I’ve got simple minds plying in my local park and as I don’t work until next Monday I’ll be going and getting smashed
 
I played 5 aside on astro from 9 to 10 and I am fudgein mullered
Played a small side footy game 25 years ago in Tenerife in the summer
Decided I’d swap in goal as it was a real mess and couldn’t understand why the goal line was so wet…. Assumed it was sweat as our keeper, whose top I was wearing, was dripping… tuned out he thought he could also do a cheeky pee whilst we were attacking an no one would know as everyone was wet from sweat
It evaporated (mostly) before the end of the game
