Some people are Night Owls.
Others are Morning Larks.
I'm more of a Permanently Exhausted Pigeon.

@scarycath Yes. You just called his metaphorical child ugly. The man is a national treasure and I don't think I've ever disliked anything he's been in.

@Ingrid81066153 @jan_murray Presumably all the others responded with "It's never lupus"?

@jan_murray Every episode of all 8 series, as a single GIF

@Glaspark @07Maggi @Sainburyscs @sainsburys If we're in France, we can *easily* do 3 hours in a Carrefour Hypermarché. Looking at all the stuff we can't get over here, then stopping off for some snacks. It actually defines our holidays. "What did you do this year?" "Same as last year, went to Carrefour for a week"

@fwmarqix @PamelaRaeHeath I don't think the Cat Distribution System works like that. It is ... Inevitable. Enjoy your new cat.

@jopawo @detroitbliss Watch out for triggers. Mine's triggered by mechanical shock, so if I stub my big toe, or tread on a Lego/pebble which hits my big toe joint. Running doesn't trigger it though. Go figure.

@jopawo @OliverDngerclws I've been suffering from it on & off since my late 30s (early 50s now). My experience (2x courses for 2 episodes) of Colchicine is that it's a preventative, and won't mitigate an attack. Only high dose NSAIDs help. I take 800mg Ibuprofen every 6 hours, and I'm sorted in 18 hrs.

@redl3tters This was an episode of House MD. House treats a brilliant MIT graduate who intentionally dumbs himself down using dextromethorphan (DXM) and alcohol. He did this because his intelligence made him lonely and prevented him from relating to his wife.

@dave24144975 Yes, it's terrible.

Only *red* lights are allowed to be shown to the rear of a vehicle (except for white reversing lights, registration plate lights and orange indicators).

Totally the wrong colour.

@FellFister13 @myownwinters @BurnsideWasTosh Sir, there are children on this app.

@alt_w_v_g That "Sent from my iPhone" is the cherry on top.🍒

[Pete Smith @PoopedPigeon]

@UKHomelessTroll @davidjohnbuild 8 ton refers to the capacity (loaded weight). The skips themselves are fairly light (250kg or so)

[Pete Smith @PoopedPigeon]

@AvonandsomerRob Motorway service chargers are too expensive - cheaper to run on petrol just now. Need to be less than 50p/unit to match fuel still.

[Pete Smith @PoopedPigeon]

@AvonandsomerRob I bought a PHEV. 40 miles on battery, enough for commuting. That's 80% covered. The rest involves lugging kids to 2 unis 200+ miles away, with a whole house worth of stuff. I've stopped at enough motorway stations and seen all chargers in use that a full EV isn't for me just yet.

[Pete Smith @PoopedPigeon]

@AvonandsomerRob If you just want simple milk drinks, the E series is absolutely fine. The J series is more expensive, but uses a touch screen and can do sweetened/flavoured frothy milk. I've got a J8 (got it Dec 2023) and it's fantastic. I drink instant at work, but have decent coffee at home

@realplaya405 @CoffeeBlackMD @kleinemausen I wager 400 quatloos on the newcomer.

Pay per view baby.

[Pete Smith @PoopedPigeon]

@Britgirl0000 @0Calamity My wife was a teacher. When we did our weekly shop, we would buy snacks for the kids who came in hungry. And distressingly, underwear for kids who needed it. (This was KS1 and 2 in a not great area of the North West)

[Pete Smith @PoopedPigeon]

@billericaybaggy @SandyofSuffolk Precisely. A colleague offered on a house. Survey came back - due to spray foam insulation, the house in un-mortgeagable.

He'd be stuffed in this situation

[Pete Smith @PoopedPigeon]

@BuckCllr I've got a Volvo PHEV. 400bhp, 700nm of torque. 90% of my driving is on electric and costs 4p/mile.

If I need to do a long journey, I can do 600 miles. I bought it in August and have filled the tank about 4 times.

I love it.
