Jmothecat2 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Bought something called 'Doritos Nacho Cheese' - it's a pretty awful looking dip, but tastes sort of tolerable. I can't decide if I actually like it or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Brees Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Im at the madness gig in Falkirk with the wife, just been watching "the farm" (band from the 90s). Brilliant. Went to Ian Rush's testimonial many years ago, now I think of it, it might have been Ronnie Moran's, f**k knows, but at half time The Farm set up in the penalty boxing in front of us and we all had a 'altogether now' singalong for 10 mins. It was nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also women's football is utter pish. ^^^ Tam Cowan found. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 The shadows cast by these light bulbs (to the left and right of pic) on the bedroom ceiling look a bit phallic. Making me feel underendowed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My newest espresso pot makes six shots at once and I'll do at least two or three pots before leaving the house then a couple of large cafetieres at work. If I go to the gym I'll neck cold coffees too. You can fit so much into the day and only need a minimal amount of sleep. ^^^Jack Killian What's your point (midnight) caller? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
