Peter1450 Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 I had a quick look at the rugby tickets for this evening, thought I’d show my wallet some respect and decided against it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 Well, the paint I've been watching for the past 8 hours has finally dried. What now? I'll probably stick pins in my eyes. This will provide much-needed, respite from so-called "royal commentators/correspondents/experts", (on what seems like every TV channel, radio station and newspaper), reminiscing, speculating and prattling on, hour after hour, about the most mundane things. People's boredom thresholds aren't as high as they think. If they keep this up, the Establishment and mainstream media will only succeed in alienating millions of (more) people from the Royals. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its usually at this point we read: - that midfield will get over-run - Vyner FFS - Pring not on the bus I've cut the lawn - well, the green tufty bits in the oasis of brown. Done some touch up painting - this will last about twenty minutes before the grandkids demolish it again. Been to the tip - Ended up being charged more for dumping some slate than I paid for it in the first place. With boredom beginning to settle in, I might just go and turn over the compost heap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 Completed pack 2 of Joe’s Lego Millennium Falcon (not the £750 one I hasten to add)…with Joe. Basically I handed him the pieces. There was a time when I got to do most of it, alas no more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be long before they start interviewing the corgis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin_unreliant Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 Bored myself close to sleep watching the Test Match.
