Played Baseball with a bigger ball and called "Softball" at school in summer in the UK.
Now Cricket, a sport that can last five days if it's a test match, that is a proper sport.
*Runs for cover*.
Seriously don't pitchers ever bat anymore ? Even in cricket the "tail end" get to bat.

Dripping - big solidified dish of it saved from roast meat juices and used to do roast potatoes in and my dad to spread on bread with salt. Vile stuff ! But my dad liked it and I love roast potatoes.
Not very good for your heart health.

Isn't that the definition of "cutting your own nose off to spite your face" ?
UHT milk - bluergh!

It isn't true. Got 3 points for doing 33mph myself on a 30mph road.
Fair cop. According to my speedo I was doing 35mph, satnav said 32mph when "flashed".
Only me to blame.

Do you live in Bolton and does your boyfriend frequent pubs there ?

Context Anelli, context, or is a case of IYKYK ?

Well we can hope. Problem is he believes he already owns it.
Actually I'd hope it breaks entirely but that might mean this civilised place would be swarmed with Musk sympathising idiots.

Thanks ! Ive been in a protective driving suit in the sewer that is the Musk site far too long without respite. It's currently "faulty". Nice to come back to Blue Sky where actual SM friends are much more active. A much more civilised place in general.
I nust come here more often.

Yeah Musk's hellsite is definitely broken today.

The Musk site is throwing "a wobbly" today Anneli.

I'm not serious at all. Not because of my heart condition. I know a 9v battery across my tongue isn't dangerous. Just not going to do it its just one of the things I've never done. I shall pass on that particular "enjoyment".

Done the ring binder, know of and have witnessed the 9V battery one, though never tried it, must do. Do you think it's safe for a 55 year old with a heart condition?
No, didn't think so.

Further to my snarky reply on the muskrat site.
It really doesn't hurt. It's uncomfortable. It's just about possible to be hurt by one, but that would be bad luck.

Yeah. Softies aren't we ?
Anneli, I'm sure you will have, but I have to know; have you seen "E.T" ?

I can imagine and I get that.
It is rather sad in every way though. But yeah I can see why. I wonder if there are systems that can play it inside the cab ?

Pooh and Piglet's friendship is one of childhood's greatest stories that resonates no matter how old you are. It's beautiful. No other word for it.

Personally I like them, but I prefer an original Wispa. There is always one at least on my work van.

Indeed, Rookie mistake. If you can - anonymous free email account for it and it alone and opt to be contacted there alone or better still - tell your wife.
Just sayin'. 👍🏻

Not sure you'll get good relationship advice from 'fesshole.
But for what's it's worth.
Be honest with her and break up. Yes you will hurt her, that's inevitable, but it's better than stringing her along. It will only make you resentful and you'll end up hurting her far worse by deceiving her.

Robo Cop - awesome. Time to blow the dust off the DVD and play it on the old PS4.

Ah a manipulation technique. Do such a bad job you never have to do it again, because you use someone else that does it properly who laps up being called "chivalrous".
This isn't the 'fess you think it is. Stacking a dishwasher properly is child's play. The task should be shared.

In the voice of Ringo star :

I hope it has calmed and you feel OK now.
My anxiety ATM is through the roof too, fortunately it has a reason (off work, again; awaiting results and more tests, tests involving small cameras, eek!) and I have loved ones that can reassure me and listen.
Take care, Cara.

Yeah something tells me the mortician won't care and you won't be able to. You'll just be one dull Tuesday afternoon at work.

Mega red flag. I turn ours up and down as does the entire family.
I do shout about open doors though.

You see this is why BlueSky is much better than muskrat's hell hole.
Here they inform our American friends in the US which corporations are committed to DEI
while on there they celebrate and tell us which corporations are ditching DEI.

Ouch ! So Bill you've seen it and it's "not good" ? OK, we (Mrs and I) will go to the multiplex with low expectations then.
Or should I wait and waste just time at home waiting for it's stream ?
Nope, seen every ST movie at the cinema within days of release. This one won't be any different.

🤣 Put down the phone and turn off the TV. Get a hot drink a big blanket and encourage Panda to lie with you on a sofa in a warm dim lit room and pick up a good book. Turn on a reading table lamp and lose yourself in the story to the music of a purring cat.
Or post more wedding photos ! 👍🏻🙂

Martin this Martin credits you, StepChange and me finally confronting my unsecured debt of £23k (nothing to show for it, never gambled etc.) that nearly costed me my marriage (never went behind on mortgage or essential bills thank goodness).
Thank You.
Almost debt free now.

Thats the flip side of being a successful author - you're never satisfied by stuff already published and think it could be better.
Then, 2nd edition or a new book entirely Cara ?

Jesus, of course it is.
Note to self - "go to the opticians".
Seriously I'm not joking.
On a tangent here - But James Acaster reminds me of my nephew in both looks and personality. I like the former and think the latter is fantastic.

Daughter used to forget her PE kit on purpose (the spares were never washed so she refused to wear them) got told to sit in the changing room and also got a lunchtime detention. Did her homework in it and read in the warm.
PE teacher 0 - 5 Daughter.

No Idea who the chap is which is almost certainly academic.
I found that darkly funny Cara which says much about me, I feel.

Damn ! Sounds awful, Reynauds is bad enough.
TW...
H got an infection in her finger from biting her nails to the quick, bleeding regularly before she started recovery from AN. Her whole finger end swelled. They lanced it and she lost the finger nail. It was a form of SH her therapist said.

My grandfather was a "bookie's runner" for The Mooney Gang (they used to refer to Sheffield UK as "little Chicago") in the early 1930s.
He's mentioned in a book called "The Sheffield Gangs", now out of print ☹️) He was 4ft11ins (just shy of 150cm), thin and could run ! Name - Charles Frith.

Sounds awful. I'll trade you for Reynauds syndrome though. Waxy white fingers that move, but are like false ones I can't feel a thing with them and picking small objects or writing with a pen is impossible. Happens if I get cold and inactive. Only gentle warmth and getting my heart pumping works.

You are a weirdo who is indecently exposing themselves and asking fate for bladder problems. Fate will oblige and you will one day get caught/get bladder issues. I hope it's a disgusted parent who catches you and makes fate academic with their size 10s

I've tried watching American Football. I sort of "get" it, It's just too "stop start" for me and the team changes if they lose control of the ball.
I can see the skill of throwing an 70yd pass or having a receiver getting to an end zone with skilful weaving as his team mates stop the defense.

To add this is huge in the UK - Tamworth play in the fifth tier of English football (soccer) currently holding Tottenham Hotspur (Spurs - big London club) 0 - 0 in the FA cup. Even though at home Tamworth should be losing about 5-0 + after 80+ minutes against Spurs.

For a moment I thought you were watching the FA cup third round there Bill !

Agreed. Everyone bowling green I know except one is crown green. Two woods apice and the jack. Jack stays exactly where it stops. You and another only - play diagonal to diagonal. I have seen 2 games play diagonally too, with signals from one match to another so they don't hit eachother's woods.
