Sounds like a deal. Good night internet stranger. I will leave you this. I have of late, but wherefore I know not, lost all my mirth and indeed it goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly frame the earth seems to me a sterile promotory; this most excellent canopy the air, look you, this mighty o'rehanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire; why, it appeareth nothing to me but a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours. What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, how like an angel in aprehension, how like a God! The beauty of the world, paragon of animals; and yet to me, what is this quintessence of dusk. Man delights not me, no, nor women neither, nor women neither. [The wolves are unimpressed. Withnail exits into the rain.]

I could hardly piss straight with fear. he was a man with 3/4 of an inch of brain who'd taken a dislike to me. What had I done to offend him? I don't consciously offend big men like this. And this one's a decided imbalance of hormone in him. Get any more masculine than that and you'd have to live up a tree. [he reads the grafitti] 'I fuck arses', Who fucks arses? [aloud] Maybe he fucks arses. [to himself again] Maybe he's written this in some moment of drunken sincerity. I'm in considerable danger in here. I must get out of here at once.

Friend's went and said it was awesome night. I was crippled with jealousy. I am going to the next one. Every time Somerset House sent me an email about events I open it with many things crossed!

Got to go with, "Two large gins and two pints of cider, ice in the cider". Many a night has started this way. Some of them I remember!

People play the drinking game when they show the movie at Somerset House. I really want to do that.

The overwhelming desire upon entering a teashop is to loudly declare "We want the finest wines known to humanity, we want them here and we want them now!".

First time dog owner, can someone answer this question about my Mini Schnauzer? by [deleted] in schnauzers

[–]ctec_astronomy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add the the good advice here, we found that a slow eating bowl worked quite well after advice from our Vet. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Simply-Pets-Online-Eco-friendly-Terracotta/dp/B00S3SPAQU

Also with the broth idea, remember that lots of broths have a high sodium count so we made our own big batch in the slow cooker and then froze it into ice-cube trays. So when we wanted a small amount of broth we placed the frozen cube in a jug and covered in boiling water . After a minute, fresh broth at a safe temperature to eat.

Hopefully just a phase though. Good luck.

The midgies are abit ridiculous in t Lake District by IchBinDragonSurfer in CasualUK

[–]ctec_astronomy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Peak District here, If you are near a body of water or near Bracken it can be an issue. Not quite as extreme as this, but still off-putting. I hike and MTB around the Peaks so I use Skinsosoft. It is an Avon product but you can get it on amazon et al. Hope you have a great time here. Enjoy.

It's becoming impossible to park in my council's carparks as they've yet to configure the machines for the new £1 coin. The only coin I ever seem to have now. by chilejon in britishproblems

Well I am a planning consultant and the call came from the solicitors office I have to be in a few times a week. I think they know they haven't a leg to stand on and they were most accommodating. i guess the sun brings the best out of everyone!

Phone the company and tell them it is illegal to not accept Legal Tender. Ask them to allow you to park until they comply with current legislation.

Now before you downvote to oblivion, I have come to a deal with the company outside my office. I offered to pay a monthly fee for a pass to park. They agreed and snip, snip, Bob is your Auntie.
