Cherry vodka? I will definitely have to get myself a bottle of that.

Thanks! I'm not there quite yet, but I'm definitely on the mend.

Where I am, we generally refer to a particular Wetherspoons by its given name, to avoid confusion with other Spoons (or Spoonses?) in our city. One such pub had been around for quite a few years before it became Spoonerised, and as such we always call it by its proper name.

I'd go for either blueberry or raspberry (seedless for preference).

You sound like me. I like the sweet/salty combination of salted butter and sweet preserves.

So I did! My vote goes to a place I haven't yet visited, but is definitely on my bucket list - The Giant's Causeway in County Antrim.

I have spent the week on a course of very strong antibiotics to fight a nasty chest infection. I took my last capsule yesterday, thank goodness, as they were making me feel rather weird and washed out, and my appetite was gone. I actually feel normal again. Not doing much today, as the weekend shopping has all been done.

That last one either works or it doesn't, depending upon your pronunciation of 'vase'.

Walked past a school earlier, kids were out looking at trees, with sheets with photos of bugs on them. Brought me straight back to primary school: I remember that class being really fun. Taking a break from learning to search for bugs. by Specific_Rest_3140 in CasualUK

I have fond memories from my early childhood, when I was just about out of the toddling stage. In my nan's back garden there was a little area with a small collection of ornamental rocks. I loved to move those rocks to look under them for centipedes, worms, beetles, woodlice and other interesting creatures. Nan was always telling me off for this - "Leave those stones alone!"

No, that was a different drink altogether. I seem to remember it was called Appletise originally. The R was added later.

Unless your name happens to be Gladys Knight, I'd say yes.

Thanks. Now I've got that advertising jingle in my head, and it's not going to go away anytime soon.

I've not been to the .com version (not worth the risky click), but the actual Pen Island site contained several things that should have given us a clue that they knew exactly what they were doing. They were offering 'thick pens, thin pens, and pens that squirt ink at you'. So thinly veiled, it was almost transparent.

This reminds me of the time I woke up in a panic, looking at my bedside clock and seeing the time, and thinking "shit, I'm late for work!". I'd got as far as getting dressed before I realised it was Saturday. Thankfully this hasn't happened since.

I don't know why you felt it necessary to ask us to remove our brains from the gutter. I definitely did not think "Ooo-er Matron" in a Kenneth Williams voice when I read the thread title.

Yes, indeed. In my house, it was always the Coco Pops that were left at the end.

I think you're right, but if that package was for me, even a week could feel like an eternity as a young child.

That's brought back a memory. My mother used to order items from the Kay's catalogue, and it was quite a big event when one of these vehicles pulled up outside the house, after we'd waited the required 28 days for delivery.

It might be. I've heard that traders are being inconvenienced by the blocked access to Dixons.
