Reminds me of my parents. Mum used to fume Dad would watch 2 hours of Sharpe every week and (shudder) Westerns, but thankfully they could both sit through 8 hours of cricket in blissful harmony...

This is my kind of energy. Bravo!

I concur! Would recommend Zubrowka Bison Grass with apple juice, or milk-filtered, if you can get it.

Oh no, I'm wheeze cry laughing just revisiting that thread. It must be on a par with the "Veet for Men" and "Sugar-free Gummi Bears" Amazon reviews....

Thank you....

It was a bedside water filled receptacle, the husband would erm, rinse his dingaling in after you know what. Once read about, never forgotten...

Am suddenly reminded of the infamous Mumsnet p**** beaker thread ...

My parents have had the same "Pampas" (not the outside kind... ahem) / Avocado bathroom suite for 50 years, and it's amost come back into fashion- still carpeted too, although I very much hope that HAS been replaced in the last 50 years....

True and so teeny tiny now.....Oof this also reminded me of Echos- they were niiice...

That's the kind of spicy talk that gets you into trouble- a good kind of trouble...

I randomly bought a CD single by an artist I'd never heard in my local record shop. It turned out to be Jeff Buckley's "Last Goodbye"- immediately obsessed. 8 years later, stumbled across the 2nd CD to fit the case on a day out- rapture! Few months later got burgled. Lost all my music- heartbreak...

Gosh, you've inspired me- time is one thing I do have plenty of, so it looks like I will be able to travel between Hull and Grantham/ Melton Mowbray much more cheaply - not sure if I can persuade my son to sit on buses for that long, though...
