villa4europe Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 So far he's told me that because the sun shines through the window to my right there is an imbalance of colour on my face so I need to go buy a lamp from IKEA and position it to shine on to my left He's a nice guy so I haven't got the heart to tell him how there's absolutely no **** chance of that happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 You could get a smart bulb that can have any shade of any colour you like, but it’s still a waste of time and money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 On that note I sat in a 4 hour long meeting yesterday that was about 90% in German, I mostly replied in English but the other people in the room all spoke German I was drained after it that's for sure but that's the most I've ever been able to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way you will have a nice snack at lunch and an even toned face. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Crusha have brought back the Lime flavoured mix! I haven’t seen or tasted this since the mid 90’s. I think the last time I had it was in the upstairs canteen at the old Northfield swimming baths before it was knocked down. It tastes just as I remember it. Amazing stuff.

Popular Post El Zen Posted May 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2022 Just booked plane tickets for a week in Bilbao in July with my dad and my brother. Probably the first thing I’ve had to properly look forward to in a long while. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
