Skipped a full English breakfast to trade a 13:00 Turkish Superleague match, only to realise Betfair is now living in GMT. :x

It makes my blood boil when people change their mind about buying food and chuck fresh food in the freezer or place frozen food on the supermarket shelf. :x

I've got a rant for you Derek. My tesco has dual travelators in and out. They are on a slope, therefore the trolleys have magnets. Once you're on it with a trolley you have to stand there. My gripe is I rarely use a trolley. I could steam in and out if twits with trolleys didn't block both travelators. Pre-covid I would squeeze past them but I can't do that now. And the worst of all is people with NO trolley stand on the travelator, chatting, prodding their phone, picking their nose.......AAAAAAAARRRRRGGHH!

I know how you feel, we've all been through it. But you soon start to see the benefits. No time or money wasted on haircuts, shampoo, gel, combing, no dandruff, etc. And it's true that bald men are more virile - one of the first things I noticed as my hair fell out. :)

Mmm I share that pain. I was tempted to have a big 'reinvention' and get a short hair cut, but there'll be a massive shiny bit on top. So I'm sticking with what I've got, almost waist length, pulled back and strategically tied to make what's essentially the world's longest comb over. :roll: But I have had almost 20yrs without spending any time or money at the barbers or having to decide on a 'style'.

Dunno why Tiss but I always pictured you with a #1 and losing it wouldn't be too bad. But you have my sympathies, life catches up with you in your 50s and I'm 57 this year :( Mum was 87 this year and tbh that looks a hell of a lot worse.

Cheers Derek. Hopefully, I won't be thinking of you the next time I'm banging away :lol:

Not a grade 1, however it's looking like a possibility soon. I turned 50 last June, and it's really gone south since then

Virility isn't the issue, it's fitness :? The misses says I need an affair with a younger woman to cheer me up but tbh I think it would kill me.

How often do you need to water your garden in a typical summer?

Dunno about Derek but all the pots on the patio (40?) need doing almost ever evening, plus the tomatoes in bags etc. And the bonsais enjoy a mist with the hose to keep the leaves working well. I'm going to rig up a pond pump on the waterbutt for the hose this year, tap water eventually causes a built up of salts.
