But like I said before his MO was stalking, and he was outside her flat in his car at 1am. People need to hear both sides. Certainly does sound a bit dodgy. Hopefully the truth will out.

chrisp65 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 My nipper just got grade 5 drums. No more Benton Street Bop over and over and over and over... I expect the neighbour will be equally pleased. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post maqroll Posted July 12, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2017 I just went to this new Mexican place down the street. Nice little room, tons of sunlight, and people watching, unpretentious menu, two TV's that both had the Gold Cup on with volume. Most bars in this area don't have TV's, and this Mexican guy loves his footy, so we connected on that level. He's also some sort of ambient music guy, really obscure soundscape stuff. So much better than the Hot94 garbage everywhere else. Great room, but the bartender looked like he stepped out of a mid nineties Eurotrash nightclub, fake tan, oversized power watch, cologne. Bit of a dandy. I'll be back to convince the owner to hire me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet the Eurotrash guy has never seen one that didn't look like a smoothie. Mexican restaurants can always be counted on to show footy on the TV around here. Whenever we go to one, my wife usually makes sure not to leave me a seat facing a screen if she can help it. Otherwise, she knows she'll struggle for adult conversation... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mjmooney Posted July 14, 2017 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2017 Been a good day today. Elder daughter finally got a 'proper' job, and Mrs. M and I put down a new garden path, made with bricks recycled from our old barbecue. Very pleased with it. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elder daughter finally got a 'proper' job, and Mrs. M and I put down a new garden path, made with bricks recycled from our old barbecue. Very pleased with it. Looking good! My missus had me bring in about 2 tonnes of wood chips over the last few days as she's converting our vegetable beds into "no till, no dig" beds. In any case I am happy as it means less digging for me. The idea is that everything is mulched deeply all year round, so there's no soil erosion or compacting, meaning that we'll never have to water or weed. You dig a trench down to the compost and then sow in the soil, as the seeds grow you fill around the plants with wood chips again. It's supposed to do wonders for your garden. She's got mushroom spawn coming in the day after tomorrow that she wants to inoculate the wood chips with, so she's hoping to get some Garden Giant edibles with the veg starting from around September with several flushes throughout the year. I've got a mixture of oak and pine in the chips - it smells lovely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 New England weather is incredibly diverse. Tonight, there's a massive fog bank floating in off the sea, lush as can be- the moisture captures the scent of blooming flowers. It's a tropical air mass, and I'm in heaven. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post This Could Be Rotterdam Posted July 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) So I uploaded a photo of my dog after he'd chewed up our doormat to imgur yesterday so I could put it on the dogs thread on here as the file was too big. Just had a message saying it's gone viral and has been viewed over 75000 times. Really wish I'd put a wittier comment than 'doormat' Edited July 20, 2017 by This Could Be Rotterdam 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V01 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Walked into the control at work ready for shift handover earlier, overheard the manager having a go at one of the car park attendants. Apparently he'd said congratulations to a woman whose response was "I'm not pregnant, I'm fat" needless to say she put a complaint in. I was still chuckling at him on the way home. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Thought I'd completely rinsed the bank account this month. Been buying a fair few luxurious items for myself, clothes for holiday etc... Checked this morning and it's higher than I thought, much higher. Reason? Stopped absolutely caning it on the weekends. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
