The totally off-topic thread

Aaah, you're driving in the knife Rugby - my brother just arrived into TXL yesterday for "about" 3 weeks...*sigh*

Our time will come!

Special K? Need any tokens? Surely you don't need receipts? I never keep them.

Receipts and limited to 3 books per household.

Sorry for late reply. We were fine, hot, but all ok. We did go to death-con 2, suitcases open on lounge room floor, tow-bar put on car, animal cages by the door, fire clothes - still hanging up ready from last week, walk around the house with our fire list of what each of us wanted saved, then just either read or watched Dr Who.

I hope you mean DefCon-2. :shock:

Something not quite right if one can still taste the tomato juice in the vodka last night. I only had a couple. Time to change mixers.

The only books I buy now are Stephen King, everything else is Kindle now.

Plenty of books on my tablet, but I like looking at my shelves as they expand. And I like holding a book. Plus when I use public transport for my commute I prefer to read from page rather than screen. Better for eyes and general health.

Tonic with vodka is good

Tonic with vodka is good

Diet tonic with a squeeze of lime. Cuts back calories hugely.

Can't do the diet type drinks, just don't like the flavour and diet tonic has to be one of the worst :shock:
I know it is better for calories but actually vodka, soda and lime isn't too bad.

I hate Diet Coke but find the diet tonic fine. It is 3 measures of gin isn't it? . Soda is much better than tonic. 96 cal versus 175. Might try soda.

If your Vodka is 40% just get it out of the freezer and it needs no mixer. I learnt that from a Russian quite a long time ago.

You won't get a headache the next morning from going for the 40% Vodka. Oh and my Svetlana didn't teach me this.....

Our time will come!

As long as you don't die before your time!

11.15pm, husband goes to kitchen

11.16pm, I hear glass breaking

11.16.15pm, I go investigate

11.16.25pm hubby goes back to bed, leaving me to clean up.

Thanks, dear.

I hope he said "thanks dear" in that 10 seconds...

Keep the shot glasses in the freezer as well.

Yes that is what the Russians do The Emu.

No he didnt and it deteriorated after that as I was reading my kindle in bed and he complained about the light, saying it kept him awake and he couldnt sleep.

Reason why I was reading in bed... because of his snoring! (public swimming pool and office visit air con means hes snoring for the first time in ages).

Sometimes I wish I had retired at the same time as my brother...

Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott from two my favourite UK-based bands (The Housemartins and The Beautiful South) playing in London (well Hull actually) later this year..with one of my brothers favourite musicians Billy Bragg.

But you're not 60!
