My boomer neighbours keep sending me stuff like this from Facebook- they actually believe it’s real!

State of this lot 😂

Prime example of blind patriotism

FTFY

You should see the boomer wars here in Wales, it’s hilarious 😂.

The good old days eh, can’t do that anymore, postal service gone woke 😂

Anyone using an iMac? This one is relatively old, a 2019 27” 64gb 5k model. Takes about 5 minutes to boot, is that normal? Once running, it’s fine and runs my Adobe software brilliantly. My PC takes less than a minute to boot by comparison.

Procrastination

Small point but no-one can be a member of Antifa, there is no membership. It's a movement, not a club.

Today is one of those days where I’m glad I’m not on any social media (apart from here of course)

He's a big 13yr old so has to have adult sizes...

Grandson wanted one with his name/number, £90

So, after the death of my father in law in April, his wife wanted the house,shed and garage clearing of all of his belongings pretty much straight away. I went over 3 times with car and trailer - most stuff was boxed up so I moved it all to my house without knowing what it was. He was an ex-raf engineer so I got a lot of memorabilia and good tools, a load of golf stuff and gardening tools. There were also two computers, one an expensive gaming PC (I know of the value as I built it for him last year, he spent over £5k on the parts) with controls for flying (he was a massive flight sim fan) and the other an iMac which he used for his photography. In the boxes were all of his personal things, like toiletries, cufflinks and some random RAF stuff but also a box of about ten watches, the nicest an Omega Seamaster. Also some old cameras and lenses, two of them Rolleiflex, and a newer Canon digital camera and lenses, filters, tripod and cases. Some of the golf stuff went to the club where he used to be a member and I got £2200 which went back to his wife. The older golf stuff is in my barn awaiting collection from a mate who wants it for his son. I've filled the charity shops with his other belongings, clothes and shoes, lots with tags on, never worn. It's been a full on job so I'm glad it's nearly over... PS. I'm keeping the Omega.

Solicitors - so slow

LAnD OF thE fReE

Really appreciate this, I agree with you regarding cbt, just the thought of waiting weeks/months to see a practitioner is off putting. I’m really poor at self help, I’ve spent so many years supporting others (through my work) I find it difficult to look after my own physical and mental health. I’m spending most of my time supporting my wife by being strong and positive, which really helps her but leaves me struggling without her knowing. My routine is poor, I spend 7 days a week working on the wreck of a house we bought 18 months ago, my wife works away from home for days at a time so I’m quite isolated. I feel like I’m pretending to be ‘normal’ with my few interactions with the outside world. I’ve also taken on looking after my wife’s stepmother since the death of my Fil as she can’t cope with the modern world, so sorting all of her accounts, utilities insurances etc. and she phones me daily with new things to do. She’s a sweetheart though and I really want to help but feel overwhelmed with it all. Anyway, I’ve gone on a bit, sorry 👍

Anyone use a parking app? Recommendations?

Sold my bike yesterday, first time in my life I’ve not had a motorbike

As a kid I used to work weekends and summers on a Kirby & West float, started at 4am until about 10am. Earned a pittance but loved it, especially when the milkman let me drive the float.

What about my potholes though EDIT - it’s ok, Jeremy just phoned me, him and Dianne are coming first thing in the morning to fix them.
