Statistically proven idiot because I mention football in my bio. Building offshore wind farms
Away camping with the families from the village we're still friends with from eldest's primary school days, and very much enjoying the atmosphere
"hmassive drugs sales operation" "Aye pal, best hit you've ever had, though I'm afraid it's only available as a suppository"
Partially defending them because I have a huge soft spot for Grimsby having worked there for 8 years, but looking at the shortlist there was clearly a criteria and profile I think the match v well /Po-faced_bluesky_response
I see the Belgian FA have come out swinging too. Hard to dispute what they say
What a fucking disastrous and stupid precedent. Well done lads but I don't think you've noticed that the point of sports washing for vile regimes is to try to make yourselves look BETTER
Don't understand that Greggs thing- surely the world cup is about engaging with the world. we're doing the opposite chez gibbon... Fajitas for Sunday tea here
"there will be no gauging" when selling petrol is probably a vote winner to be fair. "Yeah mate, I only stuck £5 in. Trust me"
London NY display runs to about 12 minutes long and let's off about 12,000, and that gets tedious. This is 70 times more than that. No one in DC better have a pet in town that night. Christ
How dad did you dad this weekend? I think I may have dadded too much and have pulled a muscle. Man I had fun clearing out and organising this cupboard, 2 others and the shelves going down to the cellar to consolidate it all to here
Sticking your family photos on these should come with a compulsory hard drive check
Not us mate. Have you seen the size of the moles around here? Yeah moles. Definitely moles
Well, at least next week I get to go to Washington for the official national celebration of their county's 250th anniversary. That surely won't be as ramshackle
How evocative is that range of stations on the front panel - an object designed for an era of permanency. I flipping love this thing (and the memories of listening to it with her and grandpa)
But what am I most attached to? This is my granny's amazing yachtboy radio. The demise of LW is a sad day for this beast that's outlasted the broadcasting equipment and technology. A consumer product that's outlived its era.
No idea on exact dates, but my paternal grandfather's grandfather was the captain of a trade ship going in and out of Glasgow and brought this table back from India. Today it stands in for wardrobes as where my children would rather their clean clothes are stored (had to clear it for the photo)
There's a lot of "communication" going on between the four and the two newcomers
They're taking it in turns for one of them to bash the wooden edging with their beak while the other three get to gather whatever scatters when disturbed
It seems they've discovered the patch where I removed the trampoline last weekend is perfect for woodlouse hunting
How on earth am I meant to work under these conditions... The magpies have arrived & are having a good blether. (4 for a boy it seems)
I tell you what is coming into its own, this wee ice tray/ box thing where you can keep refreshing the ice as you're using it. Even has a lid so you can stack stuff on it in the freezer. Game changer in the gibbon ice business.
And I'm rounding off the day, sat outside in shorts and t-shirt at half nine at night listening to the bees on the lavender and jasmine all around me. It's not bad sometimes is it ( he says deliberately ignoring the sounds of randy wood pigeons in the laurel bush)?
Mrs G has had a minor SNAFU with ordering the rabbit provisions. We can now feed several dozen of them for many generations to come, but they won't be allowed to poo
