I like Marmite in my porridge.

First you have to remember where you put the dammed certificate never.mind when it’s due Some of us have a problem remembering what day it is.If I park on any car park larger than ten cars I have trouble finding the car again Multi story car parks are a nightmare 😜😜😜

That really happened to me twice.
1. Multi storey in Manchester. Came back and realised I had absolutely no idea what level it was on. Took me over 30 minutes walking around every level till I found it.
2. Manchester airport. I took a note of level and bay etc. What I didn't know was the multi storey was in 2 sections and you couldn't get from a to b. I was close to phoning the police when it clicked.

That's what MR WD has as well

When I read that I still had melons in my mind.
I thought 'lucky Mr WD'

Always make mine with all water. 40g oats and 280ml water. Yoghurt and honey does the trick.

Don't tell me you boil it in a pan

I tend to use my calendar on my tablet now. I put reminders for when the main bin is being emptied, places and times I am going out etc. Then I get a reminder. A bell goes off on my tablet and it tells me what I wanted to remember.

What happens when you can't remember where your tablet is

Nice photos.
In a good storm the road there get covered in foam.
Porth Daffarch gets pretty well wiped out by a storm.
Showed photos to MrsD and they tugged at our heart strings.

Bloke next door to me asked if I minded him having a tattoo.

"Of course not" I said.

Now all we get is bloody bagpipes and drums every evening.

Boak! That’s nearly put me off my lunch.

I went to college with a lad who's surname was Boak.

Porridge is like wallpaper glue. Freaking horrible

Use pinhead oatmeal and do not overcook. For the amount I have every morning for breakfast it takes 5 minutes in my microwave, stir and leave till it cools a bit. Salt is added before cooking of course.
It can also be done in a pan but takes longer and needs attention from time to time. Eat with milk.

Friends of mine were in Birmingham for a major trade fair in I think February one year. At the Exhibition Centre there was out door parking. They were indoors all day but when they came out they found there had been a couple of inches of snow. They were not the only ones going around rubbing snow off number plates to find their car. Took them ages.

The rain stopped a little while ago so I took the opportunity to get out on the bike for an hour. The sun is now shining although the breeze is quite strong.

Once you have cooked it, throw it in the bin.
