ismail-villa Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Getting the flu just when I was going to the cinema to watch a movie. Ah well, at least I can watch as many movies as I want when I want at the cinema 😊😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I've installed a solar security light. It works surprisingly well and doesn't need a connection to the mains which was really handy. It's on a PIR sensor and is surprisingly bright. Chuffed with it. Screwfix, £30. It did work really well. Until the crow that lives in the tree across the lane decided to make it part of his daily routine to turn the solar panel over. I suppose it makes a nice change for him, dicking about with my security light. He spends most of his time fighting his own reflection in my neighbours garage window or dropping random stuff in my pond. How 'first world problems' am I !!!

Weather has ruined my plans... was planning on meeting a couple of mates in Solihull for beers, food and then a non league footie game (Solihull Moors v FC United of Manchester) but the game has been called off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 It took you over a month after finding the house to get to the bank to arrange an AIP? I had mine before I even looked at any houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm selling my house, you can buy that After the initial disappointment were thinking it just wasn't meant to be now, it's just so annoying considering when we found the house we went through an independent mortgage advisor on recommendation to see if we could get the money and he was adamant we wouldn't because my missus has just gone back to work on maternity and I'm self employed, and after all that today our own bank offered us a third more than what we were looking for.

It's complicated, after an independent mortgage advisor said it wasn't possible a chance meeting with an old mate who works for tsb set us up a meeting at he's bank which happened today, it's my own fault really for not exploring all the possibilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Ahh, that's not great. At least you have it now though. When I was looking about 18 months ago, I saw and lost about 4 different 'dream houses' before I got this place, and now I'm so glad that the others didn't work out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we've found a few more today to look at next week, it's just been a bit of a blow losing a good house because we're having trouble with our landlady an we really can't wait to stop paying her mortgage off for her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V01 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 picked up the next two Discworld novels in my run of reading them in chronological order without checking the back cover, read the first one and it was about Rincewind at the least the next one will be more interesting... nope, about the Witches.

Davkaus Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Watch books or GTFO. I keep meaning to finish Discworld, but the other arcs are a noticable step down from the Watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also reminds me of this Quote We're just receiving reports of an incident at a farm in Sussex where a number of people have been arrested in connection with "Annoying The Nation". It is believed that that the owner of the farm, a Mr. Hibbert, has been co-operating with Police and government officials in a plot codenamed Operation Less Pricks, and kindly granted permission for the use of his seventeenth century tithe barn as a temporary holding place for those arrested. Although not confirmed, we are led to understand that those already charged include: Bus drivers who don't wait for people to sit down before pulling away from the bus stop; Taxi drivers who use their horns instead of knocking on the door; People who moan at the council about the streets being full of litter, not stopping to think that it is people who drop litter, not the council; A room full of drama teachers listening to Bjork; Grown men with replica shirts worn over their jumpers, who stand up and stretch out their arms when the opposing team fail to hit the target; An assortment of scriptwriters, novelists and playwrights who own Agas but don't know how to use them; A musical equipment reviewer responsible for an article titled "Microphone of the Month"; A woman who described herself as "A little bit Bridget, a little bit Ally, a little bit Sex In The City" and chose to call her baby boy Fred as a childishly rebellious attempt at a clever reaction to those who might have expected her to call him Julian or Rupert. Bit of advice: call him Rupert, it fits, and besides it's a good name. Don't be calling him Fred or Archie, with all its cheeky but lovable working class scamp connotations, unless you really do have plans for him to spend his life in William Hill's waiting for them to weigh in at Newton Abbott. Also being held is a whole wall full of teenagers spitting needlessly; An amateur thug in camouflage trousers whose Japanese fighting dog had run amok on a Swindon council estate; A man from the record company who said that George Michael continues to challenge social taboos through his music; Lisa Riley; Continuity announcers introducing comedy shows; A pub band who get uppity when everyone goes to the bar during a song they've written themselves; A group of football fans referred to as Commodores, as in once, twice, three times a season, who feed sugar lumps to police horses at Cup Finals; An artist who said his next album would be more "song-based"; A man who informed people that he gets up at six am every morning and seemed to want a medal; People who say they speak as they find and are somehow proud of it; Journalists who try and spell an interviewee's laugh; An organisation who declared an awareness week for awareness weeks; And a council worker who dropped litter. We'll bring you more details as they emerge… 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Watch books are the best, as they feature the strongest set of characters Pratchett developed and the best character full stop in Vimes, but they do tail off post Night Watch massively, even accounting for Night Watch being the best in the series. The Witches have a couple of stand out stories in Lords and Ladies, Masquerade and Carpe Jugullum so don't give up on them entirely. Even Rincewind gets a decent story in the Last Continent.
