Go on go on go on go on go on
A friend has a pair of Raybans she bought 25 years ago. One day last year she dropped them and they were run over by a trailer with a boat on it. She was pretty upset until she realised they weren’t damaged, not even scuffed. I witnessed this, it was incredible. Worth the expense, I would say.
I was in a fender bender a few years ago where the other party insisted on getting the police involved because of injury - the passenger slumped dramatically to the ground complaining of whiplash. The officer who attended said, “You don’t have whiplash.” And explained to her the concept of crumple zones in modern cars absorbing forces from impact. Then he declared it a no-fault accident (it was actually my fault).
Sudden spike in sales of plasma balls.
VLC for me too. What a great program it is, never a single problem.
They must be competent story of the wedding capturers, many are not.
At a niece’s wedding the photographer had been asked to video the ceremony. The resulting film lingered on an especially pretty bridesmaid during the exchange of vows and rings.
It’ll be bought by a “property investor” who will gut it, put in new bathroom and kitchen, redecorate in shades of grey, then resell it for a serious profit. They might clear the back yard and put down turf as well. It’ll all take a couple of months unless there’s something seriously wrong, eg rotten roof.
I’m currently in the midst of throwing money at a problem - car’s brakes corroded after I didn’t drive for three months due to Reasons. I’m desperate to get back behind the wheel - a backlog of car-centric jobs has piled up.
I remember when he first threw his toys out of the pram over a wind farm visible from one of his Scottish golf courses. He’s lost all his battles here, hah!
Wind farms aren’t ideal given all the infrastructure needed, but they are certainly preferable to a war.
When I was working I would take a square plastic clip box with a selection of prepped veg in it, plus one of those square ramen blocks and seasoning. Add boiling water and five minutes later you have a tasty hot meal.
I’ve found the opposite - using Linux on my PC has been a breeze. I expected drama connecting my phone and e-reader, but no. Plain sailing, everything just works. I’m so glad I jumped when I did, hearing some of the recent Windows nonsense.
I’m on Zorin if it helps. The free version.
They’re quality garments, high fashion here in Scotland - the sort of thing a modern man would wear at his wedding rather than an old-fashioned “full Highland dress” type of kilt.
Modern kilts tune down the Scottishness. It can basically be a skirt. A manly man’s skirt, with pockets.

I remember the first Bollywood movie I watched, back in the 80s. I was home from a late shift, and it was on TV. I started watching and was still watching like three hours later. Loads of singing and dancing, also an intricate plot that switched from thriller to family drama to romance to murder mystery to political intrigue and back to romance. With fireworks instead of kissing. It was fantastic.
My stance is: you can say what you like, but I am going to judge you by your words.
I can’t stand that line of “oooh, you can’t say anything these days”, it’s absolute bullshit.
