There seems to be a real life variant of Toy Story - when humans aren't around, Bombay Mix comes to life. Despite the fact that it tends to get consumed in one room only, I keep finding the stuff all round the house

As a shorts all year round kind of guy I would say it's a pure comfort thing. Plus it's been about 13 degrees celsius for about a month now which is hardly peak winter weather.

Can't get on board with the flip flops though.

I hate flip flops, once saw one at a car boot, a single flip flop for 50p (probably £1 in todays money), there were no takers.


Just how bad would you feel if you had one leg and wanted just one flip flop and it was a left when you wanted a right


How is your postal round doing?

How come that if you forget to drink your cup of tea, it always manages to cool down far below the room temperature, against all the laws of physics?

Hi Alanis

Ha ha - that would be a cracking verse

Here you go.

Short is that it isn’t lower, it just seems that way as the mug/liquid remove heat from your hand much faster than air.

I found a great way of avoiding Bombay Mix all over the house
Simply put it straight into the hoover which saves you the trouble of actually hoovering it up , simple

Haha, great find, I knew it wasn't lower obviously, it just always feels like that.

now now - it's all British tradition which many foreigners love, and headlines like this  will always help tourism.

Having experienced clubbing in the 90s I find it weird someone would object to being hugged cos they're a bit sweaty 🤷

Went out for beers on Saturday afternoon and come 6 p.m ish there were two of us drinking in the place, two bar staff and the chef! It was a sunny day but still weird,a few folks did start to come in 10-15 minutes later and it filled up for The Celtics game.

Don't suppose there were many Rangers fans in there in Boston?

I was in Mowgli on Tuesday night and some stranger comes over to talk to me, he didnt seem particularly pissed, then when we head back to our respective tables his mate is sat there looking for all the world like Joey Barton. He didnt just look like him but was trying to look like him, same glasses, same hair style.
Stupidly I acknowledged the similarities and then he says no Im the brother Mikey Barton and starts to randomly slag off womens football.

When I got back to my table I googled the brother who is actually called Michael but still in prison.

Fucking weird.

Imitating a racist murderer and his misogynist brother. Life goals.

[Red Beret]

17 years for murder, and his knob head of a brother is still trying to play it down.

Forgive me for saying it, but the entire Barton family comes across as a pack of scum.

Totally



Anthony Walker spent the evening of 29 July 2005 at home with his girlfriend, Louise Thompson, babysitting his nephew. At 11 p.m., the couple left the house and walked to the bus stop along with Walker's cousin Marcus Binns. There, they encountered Michael Barton, aged 17, who threatened to stab Walker and Binns. They hurled racist epithets at Walker, saying: 'walk, n*****, walk' as the trio passed by. As Walker, Thompson and Binns walked to another bus stop, near McGoldrick Park, Barton and his friend Paul Taylor, aged 20, followed them in a car and drove to the park, ambushing them when they reached it. Binns and Thompson managed to escape and ran away to get help, while Walker was fatally wounded when Taylor struck him in the head with an ice axe, which lodged in his skull, causing brain death. They then went to Amsterdam.


Joey Barton

'My brother lost 17 years of his life from 17,' Barton said. 'Because his mate who was his cousin at the time thought it would be a fantastic idea when they were having a f***ing scrap to pull an ice axe out, and swing it into somebody, and he's stuck it into somebody's head.'


Scrap, yeah Joey

I'm much more middlebrow compared with Nick's very lowbrow references.
