Oh wow! Exciting.

Have you managed to get the work done that you wanted to?

โ€˜Fictitiousโ€™

We all know that this is an actual thing. And everybody judges how everyone else looks.

Let me share an exchange from my cousinโ€™s wedding

My mother: โ€˜Well you canโ€™t polish a turdโ€™

Me: โ€˜No, but apparently you can roll it in sequins and glitterโ€™

We were talking about the bride ๐Ÿซฃ

I said the same. Right at the start where he waked to see his fingernails because heโ€™d been hanging on from them for a while, I asked what the issue was. And the same with the final challenge.

Appreciate it may have been the edit but it was certainly cut to look like he had a problem with him.

I think your halo might be slipping.

Not for the first time.

But I thought your motto was the same as the Windmill in Soho โ€˜We never closeโ€™ ๐Ÿ˜‰

Wishful thinking, projecting, or talking about yourself? ๐Ÿ‘€

Omeprazole is your friend. One tablet per day and Iโ€™ve not had any issues for years.

But Barbara Carrera, in a Mercedes SL, wearing a snake as a necklace. How can you not rate that?

Also, she dies because she demanded that Bond write a declaration she was the best heโ€™d ever been with before she shot him!

IIRC, the rules of of the Rob-iverse are that you were allowed to turn your heating on at any point from Thursday.

Oh a convertible. One of my dream cars. And one I very nearly bought

I, too do this. I bought a card a few weeks ago for a friend. Itโ€™s not their birthday until late June.

I wish the clubs were held properly responsible. Make them pay for repairs and replacements. Force matches to be held behind closed doors. Ban fans travelling to matches. Fines based on revenue rather than set amounts. Theyโ€™d soon stop the worst of it.

As a Glaswegian in exile, please take my assurance that a quiet night in is definitely the preferred and wisest course of action in any circumstance where Rangers or Celtic fans are in the vicinity.

Especially when Catholicism or Protestantism is going to be in the mix.

As M replied to Moneypenny in Tomorrow Never Dies when she said that.
