@binkyba@MrT1967 Middle class or working class? Neither. I was medically retired long before my pensionable age, I cost the NHS thousands per year to thankfully keep me alive (despite being no use to society) - So, as a drain on the system, I consider myself ''Amoeba class''.
#RIPJet ?? I see RIP Jet is trending. My heart skipped a beat until I clicked. I instantly thought it was Diane Youdale @Jet_loves. Thank gawd it wasn't. She was the ONLY reason to watch Gladiators. I had a signed photo of her until some bugger stole it.ππ
''But Dave'' (I hear you ask), ''as a type 1 Diabetic, what the hell are you doing eating a pineapple?'' Well, a 'mate' won a fruit basket, which included a pineapple, & I thought: OOH! haven't had one of 'those' in over 25 years. And now I remember why: Too much fucking hassle!
Bought a 2.5lb pineapple from Tesco. By the time I lopped off the top,, then the sides, then hacked out the middle part which was like wood, then salvaged what DIDN'T shoot off the chopping board onto the dog haired stone floor, I ended up with about a coffee cup-full of fruitπ
RIGHT. That's it. I'm away to get hammered at 1.30 in the afternoon. Why? Not because of the bad memories of childhood, NO! But because I fucked up cutting a pineapple and ended up with more wastage that actual edible fruit. A whole quid down the drain! As a tight Scot: NOOOOOO!!
@diamondbertie Sigh also. My Father was old school. If he said he'd give me something to cry about, he sure carried out that threat. Many a day I had to be kept off school cos I couldn't sit down, & had to sleep on my front with no bed sheets cos me arse was black n blue & cut from the belt.π
@diamondbertie That it will Lass! That it will. The way things are though, (with everyone going berserk en-masse with the drinking post-lockdown celebrations), it'll probably all be re-grown during the next (impending) lockdown!! They're all gonna fuck it up for the rest of us again.π€π‘
@diamondbertie I know that sounded strange - but, a few lassies I've spoken too up here (dog walkers), have asked for their lockdown hair back 'cos of nesting season. I brushed George yesterday and left the loose hair in the garden - and it was all gone by the afternoon! Birds had a field day!
@diamondbertie Hmmm: can I throw the cat among the pigeons? Yes, I like the new 'refreshed again' you, but, erm, I preferred the long hair! π’I think the flowing locks took years off you! Sorry, that's just me: always been a fan of long hair. Did you get your hair back so the birds can use it?
@buddy49561367@binkyba What a shower of bastards @BritishGas are. Because customers are leaving they are 75% down on profits, you guys need to be required to work an extra three hours a week, & not be paid more for working on weekends or public holidays so THEY can save money and YOU lose out? Fuck em!
@diamondbertie I've been pretty much the same. I can be wide awake looking out my bedroom window, & then think ''I'll sit on the bed for a minute''. Next thing I know, an hour later I wake up with a sore back: feet STILL on the floor & must've just keeled over backwards like flicking a switch.
@PurinaUK Hmmm: Not really much to pass over on a DM. Barcode & all numbers in 1st tweet. It's disappointing, but yes, if you could inform the Quality control manager, & then ask them to kick the machines arse on my behalf, that'd be grand!π
@PurinaUK Ref: Winalot Shapes 800g

You say 'Amount of different shapes may vary' but my gawd! My new box opened this morning had only 2 black ones, 5 hearts, NO fishes, & the rest were all white bones & stars. Why so inconsistant? Disappointed
@diamondbertie Hmmm, does sound a tad weird, but then, as far as hair goes, I don't really have room to criticize! No need for me to go to a barber: all I need is a spray of Pledge and a wipe over with a chamois. There's more hair on my face now than there ever was on my head & entire body...π
@diamondbertie - Looking forward to the big reveal. What you going for? Short back n' sides? 1970s Perm? Or maybe a rebellious multi coloured Mohican? Just don't come out with a blue or purple rinse...yer not old enough for one of those yet.
@PurinaUK I assume all the finished Shapes are just thrown into a massive 'hopper', all mixed up, then the boxes passing underneath are just filled to weight? To us that's a bit of a bugger, 'cos it means 'pot luck' in what we get. You need a better system to ensure consistencyπ€
