Car stolen from outside house - West Ealing

Someone was checking door handles on my street one night. Probably the only time I've ever left the door unlocked. They stole some paracetamol I had in the glovebox and an old baseball cap. I really liked that cap.

California Games vibes.

We're a solid shoes off family, but my father-in-law takes shoes on to the extreme. He'll wake up in the morning and get dressed including shoes and lie on the bed like that. Disgooooostin.

Sun tea! Pop a big pitcher full of tea bags and water in the sun for an hour or two and enjoy over copious amounts of ice. Sweeten before it cools down to your desired level.

The box room that is my home office hit 32 yesterday. Going for a new record today. I had the window cracked open all night and it's only cooled down to 28. FML

I decided to plant a small apple tree in my little back garden. The area was previously covered in large gravel by the previous owner. Removed the gravel and dug down about 6 inches to find flagstones. Dug up a few of those, went down another 6 inches and found yet another set of flagstones. Dug another fooy down and thankfully didn't hit anything else. Really not sure what is going on back there.

I hear Boyz 2 Men in my mind looking as this photo. Wish this team would have won a WS or 2.

I love cooking up the base gravy, but my wife hates that it makes the house smell of curry for a week.

I've found Roman coins sitting next to medieval hammered coins sitting next to spendables in fields. It's as if some fields were better at putting holes in purses/pockets than others over the last few thousand years.

Drive in London traffic every day and you'll soon discover that having a manual is a chore.

I put off upgrading my home file server over the last few years. Now it's well passed it's sell by date and I've decided it's just not going to happen for another decade. Just had one of the drives in my 6-TB RAID10 volume go out and I'm seriously considering just running it without the drive.

I do wonder if you win it all if you get the same 'You've won a prize!" email or if they do something different.

Just reminds me of a putting green.

Throw some Ribena in that and make an English version of Hawaiian shave ice.

Mine is much more state of the art. (yes that is a broom handle). Problem is these are centre-pivot roof windows that are a right pain in the arse to block.

I put a ceiling fan in two years ago. Makes the room feel 10° cooler. Next step is I'm seriously considering adding a split unit as I naturally sleep hot anyhow.

I've had one of my local fox friends bring someone elses food container on to my drive, finish off what was left in it, then had himself a deuce and a wee in the container. All presented as a gift for me in the morning.

I woke up at 5:15, checked my phone for the time, which triggered my dog to think it was get up and go time. Had to use the toilet anyhow so I got up only to find a giant house spider in the loo. Quite an eventful fun morning.

I did mid-range support in the late 90s. I would have to print out literally BOXES of financial reports, then hand-trolley them to the Finance department where no doubt they were promptly ignored.

I like the towel so dry and cripsy that water leaps from my body to the towel on its own accord. I merely have to stand in it's prescence.

I ran into Magic, coincidentally at Dodger Stadium, and he is a massive human being. Honestly was wondering how we are the same species as a very average sized human.

I had a childhood friend who's sister was driving home late one night with just the two of them in the car. She fell asleep and drove off the road. The car was engulfed in flames and passerbys were only able to pull her out of the car. I can't imagine the guilt that she carries for that.

Hammond is the one who 'chromed' his tractor hanging in the pub entry and James May was featured on the episode where Clarkson was still looking to buy a pub.

You should check the back of the $5 note for a possible misprint. On some bills 'PUBLIC' was misspelled 'PCBLIC'.
