Bet that made it cross

Belishtic!

Did our grocery shopping early today, before the crush of people and the snow that is apparently on it's way

 

[classic33]

How come @classic33?

Here's why

I was able to take mine, along with larger items(fridge freezers, three piece suites) to the recycling centres by pedal cycle. Council decided I was a pedestrian doing it for profit, so I was banned from recycling.

A few years later they introduced the multiple recycling containers. But I'm not allowed to use them.

Waste carriers licence now got, I've just to supply my driving licence, for the vehicle used, before they'll issue the permit that allows me on site.

That's nothing, elephants are slow.

Come back and brag once you can lift one.

I can lift an elephant.

 

[Speicher]

@Illaveago shot an elephant in his pyjamas once.

He cannot understand why the elephant was wearing his pyjamas, but at least he still has the photograph.

I can lift an elephant.

How do you do that @Speicher?

Thanks for the zebra and other giggles @deptfordmarmoset and @meta ion et al. A lovely top up of British humour for which I am grateful.

 

[Lullabelle]

That is all of the presents wrapped, suppose we ought to put the tree up.

Two for me today.
21'369 steps today. I knew I'd been busy but that's high end for me.

Got a Fixed Penalty Notice, £30 or £60 if payment delayed. I knew it was a possibility, took a wrong turn in the dark in Mansfield, did a 3 point turn, and after a few hundred yards saw Buses Only painted in the lane I was now in .
Bogger. Ah well.....

Well done for the steps, bad luck on the FPN

The adverts have turned into Thai script. Guess where I am.

Margate?

I have been pot holing underneath the sink, disconnected the tap and turned it round and then reconnected it . It is now working again with the cold on the right.

Is that the right from underneath the sink?

Brrrrr! It’s freezing cold out there! And I’ll be standing around in it while the kids are doing their CX races.

Wrap up warm!

Back from CX races today. It was so cold all you could hear was teeth chattering!

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

In a Saturday afternoon show of virtue signalling, I have just been to the shop on the bike. Now cold and wet but that's the price of sainthood, I gather.

 

[Lullabelle]

The bad weather is officially here

 

[Illaveago]

Here is the tap which finally gave up!

 

[Illaveago]

I think your explanation uses slightly more grown up language than that used by the Weather Girl on BBC Breakfast News this morning. Has the general population become so stupid that they feel the need to explain things at a level geared towards two year olds?

Grump over. As you were.

I try to cater for all ages.

What a piece of junk!

 

[Maverick Goose]

That's where it was!

I think it might be in Teresa May's eyes as well...
