  1. Talking of the lakes, will someone lend me 4 million quid and I'll be happy, honest. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/147847406
  2. Every thread there ends up with recriminations and accusations that another poster is a mag. Thread about Rhod Gilbert, the OP foolishly admitted he watched him in Newcastle.
  3. Colleague at work who knows fuck all about politics has asked me whether I think Sunak is deliberately trying to lose the election. At this point, I'm not sure any more. Why do they keep doing this?
  4. It's an iPhone with a smashed back btw (daughters). Paid for already by my insurance. The piss takers charge 280 quid for this. They got their own appointment time wrong, and now making me fucking wait until a genius becomes spare.
  5. Waiting in a queue to see an "Apple Genius". If they're such geniuses they would sort out their fucking shitty customer service. Acting like they're doing me a favour the massive bell ends.
  6. So's Waaaalsend. Amirite HMHM?
  7. Fully agree on following international law, but I'm not sure what protocols there are to follow for intentional nerve-poisoning of citizens from foreign spies? Putin was mockingly taking the piss at the time iirc. It does highlight Corbyn's extreme naivity and his never ending capacity to be a useful idiot. Fortunately Starmer is much more savvy in the main.
  8. I might believe that a bit more were it coming from someone else but you.
  9. I mean maybe you are into Michelin star stuff but there's literally loads of places to eat in Keswick? The chip shop there (Keswickian) is top notch too. I'm going in a cople of weeks for 3 days and planning one meal in the hotel, one meal at the Chinese restaurant, and one in the Italian place. Hoping to get up Scafell pike also a route where you circumnavigate Derwent water. Up over Cats bells, then down into Lowther where there is a really nice pub iirc, and back to Keswick on the lake banks.
  10. There's another two threads appeared obssessing about gravy stained mages wearing replica shirts again. Cos they hadn't talked about it enough, clearly. This seems like a normal level headed chap, definitely not a violent person.
  11. That's cos you don't speak dog. There was some thing on theother day about how they're now screening films for dogs. World's gone mad.
  12. See I thought the e-mail I got sent said she does not now have to consent to the family link, andits limitations she can leave whenever she wants. She mainly uses Apple so Mrs Rents is responsible but they've sent the same message so it's obviously a legal thing. I'll have a look at that Appblock though, cheers. On a serious note, this technology is really, really bad for kids. She has a birthday meal with her mates, and they are all on their fucking phones not talking face to face to each other. Hope they grow out of it one day.
  13. Yeah, I don know there is a way of doing it but I don't think its practible to do this everyday, its not got a good UI or anything. I'm just not tech savvy enough/too lazy. If she had to use mobile data she would rapidly use her allowance, the amount of tik tok she uses. Social media is like crack cocaine to her, it's a constant battle and I'm fucking sick of it tbh.
  14. Perhaps they are both morally repugnant. Mind, Farage was telling us a couple of days ago that he was the only one clever enogh to realise the EU was to blame for Putin's invasion at this time, so he was wrong about that.
  15. To add to my woes my daughter is now a teenager, and very much actring like it. Just got an e-mail from Google. After they turn 13 years, parents cannot control their Google/Ms/Apple accounts. I find this fucking ridciulous. Social media is a massive prblem with children as it is (and 13 is still a child imo) yet at this age they have complete autonomy. Meaning the only way I can control it is too physically take devices off her which will lead to a genuine physical fight. What I would like is some easy-to-use app wherbyuI could control the wifi so certain devices can be cut off with a switch. Is there any such thing? If not, I may have an idea for Dragon's Den.
  16. Painkiller. ALmost a carbon copy of Dopesick, but not quite as good. I think I might retrain as Oxycontin rep. House fo Dragons S2 kicked off. The acting in the first 5 minutes, unbelievably bad. Casting has gone to shit.
  17. I'm guessing you must have real difficulties choosing the right anniversary card? "No, no, no. Don't you have one which says semi-permanent wife? And not this forever stuff, have you got one which says currently or for now? GOnna have to go to Moon pig again I guess".
  18. Congratulations! Mine too. Sentence is 29 years so far! Not having a good one unfortunately. I have lots of family issues mounting up from the generation below and above me, and I can feel my anxiety levels soar. Also got my own employment stresses which is not helping. Goig to go for a long walk I think.
  19. Back to Rome, MF, do the Colliuseum early in the morning, and then walk back through the Roman forum, which is basically the ruins of the empire. Ends at the Italian parliament. I'm not that into archeology but this is something else. Photo I took, fucking hell, 18 years ago now.
  20. Wait, whilst I'd probably agree Beyonce is better than Swift, no fucking way would I subject my ears to either voluntarily. Do toontasticers actually listen to this stuff? As for my favourite single, do you mean track? Does it have to be commercial? I wouldn't have a clue, there's dozens of tracks I love since the millennia clocked over. Listening to Diamnond mine by King Creosote right now so will say "Bats in the attic" today. I can give you another one tomorrow. 👍
  21. What the fuck is wrong with this board? Have I logged onto the wrong fucking forum?
  22. Well, I've been to Northern Italy a lot but never south of Rome admittedly. Always enjoyed the pizza. Any recommendations for this Neapolitan in Newcastle? Edit: looks like scream for pizza.
  23. MF, call off your holiday. The pizzas are t "Neapolitan". They're almost exactly the same but called something different.
  24. So I am currently in Edinburgh, well no, some dull suburb called Prestonpans where there was some fight once apparently, watching my daughter in some gymnastics competition. Up at 6am on a fucking Sunday to get here on time. Anyway, just found out it's done by age so I have 2 hours of watching toddlers bounce on tramplets first.
