Oh my, this took me a few seconds. I was about to take a picture of my pepper grinder!

Yes! I am passionate about it, but I also need to set an example to my 2 sons and be gracious and also not hate on people for their team. Being in London there are a lot of Spurs, Arsenal, West Ham and Crystal Palace fans. Oddly, not many Chelsea fans.

Their loss! I don't like people that cannot separate their club from actual people.

It does indeed! I sold my last house by having freshly baked bread in the newly remodelled kitchen. People like freshly baked bread!

There are always tribal fans, but my best friend from 6 years old was an Arsenal fan and we navigated the rivalry in good spirit!

Not me - just want to watch some good football!

Oh don't be stressed! I have a 5 bedroom house, so if that bedroom remains a child's bedroom for eternity then so be it!

Jalepinos are my favourite thing to put on and you seem to have plenty on there. I am now very hungry!

You are right Suki. Wine is flowing into my glass!

At least you know I've tortured myself more on MOTD so far this season!

I just bought my son a 3/4 guitar because the full-size one I already have is too big. I also have an electric guitar and 3 keyboards, and some other instruments. Thinking of opening a museum or something.

06.12.2025 22:43 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Well, I may wait until my son is bored of it, but yes, this could fuel quite the fire.

This reminds me to start making bread again - stopped when I got kittens because they would definitely interfere. When you nail home-made bread, it's so good. Artisan bakeries cannot even touch it.

I think I could take it apart with many screws to undo (not sure though). A problem for another year - an 8 year old does not need more than a single bed for quite some time!

I think I made this mistake. I bought a hand-made bed for one of my sons, it is raised up with cupboards and drawers underneath. They built it in the bedroom and I cannot move the thing - it must weigh over 200Kg I don't know what to do in the future. It is single bed sized though.

I wasn't going to be, but both of my sons' football matches have been cancelled tomorrow, so I can have a lie-in!

That's normal isn't it?

I've had 18 family members at Christmas dinners, so I am sure it will be fine!

You are welcome here - I just write out the cooking schedule, execute it and shove it on the table. Other adults drink, kids play with toys and all is well!

It is. I don't envy you having to navigate it. I am not sure sat nav will help.

I guess it is complicated, it's not what you've done that is weird, you need to know what weird stuff other people are doing. Assume everyone is more weird than you! Stay safe and have fun (sound like an HR pamphlet).

Could be playful - I think you need the context - if they are walking away in disgust, it is probably bad. If they are winking at you, then maybe it's game on?

Great tune. Modern tracks still try to emulate this kind of thing. 80s did make some good sounds (speaking as a musician and my mum who has been a professional musical/composer all of my life).
