What's a "quike bottle bank", and how does it differ from a bottle bank.

It's one of them where you don't pay attention to what you're doing type of bottle banks.

leaving shortly for 2 nites on Martha's Vineyard, staying in Oak Bluffs, MA (U.S.) w/ Wifey's extended family. bringing my bike, hoping for the best, but everything on the island is a hassle. need to cover the Brooks saddle for the road/ferry trip

How posh is that, on The Vineyard, no less. Have a fantastic time.

I LOVE Paprika crisps! Marmite cashews sound good too

Lidl have paprika crisps but not all the time. I have to grab a couple of large bags whenever I see them.

Ah, I'm looking for a book on painting techniques by a particular author. I used to borrow it from the local library, but it vanished from their catalogue and ergo I want my own copy. I've found what I want (Alwyn Crawshaw's Ultimate Painting Course) at a price I'm prepared to pay.

Funny, I'm reading a lot LESS than I used to, but that's in part because I'm not using public transport. I'm currently working my way through Jack Chalker's Well World saga, as well as Lois McMaster Bujold's Miles Vorkosigan books.

This one any good?

Check, it may be another variation of putting the thread on ignore by accident.
Or the system doing it for you!

 

[Kempstonian]

How do I check?

How do I check?

Click on "Watch Thread".
If you're not watching it, this will do it for you.
If you are watching it, it shows "Unwatch Thread".

 

[Kempstonian]

Yeah, it says 'Unwatch thread'. It's done this before but if I make a post I get notifications for a while. I'll see how it goes during the next few days.

Breakfast has been served. Going out on the bike before it gets too hot and we get the usual afternoon tropical storms.
