Things you want to share with P&B

[Nkomo-A-Gogo]

 
Got a vespa style scooter in the garage but it's not road worthy.
 

W is having to step down because they've got an English grannie? Seems really odd but someone more informed than I said it could bring down the government.

Law is that you can't be an MP/Senator and be a dual citizen. Sounds ridiculous as it really doesn't affect anything but they were probably worried about spies or some shite.
 
Anyways, a fair percentage of them are now finding out that they hold citizenship of other countries due to their parents being born in those countries. And this has come as a shock to them because they didn't know this, apparently. Politicians in talking absolute bullshit shocker.
 
Oh and the Liberals (equivalent of the Torys) are currently in power but they had to form alliances with independents to form a majority. If anymore of them gave to resign then there might be an election. The daft thing is that they are renouncing their dual citizenship and then standing for re-election. Complete waste of time and money.

Can't remember what I was listening to the other day but someone was talking about a Spanish flatmate and how he'd been taught to sleep with his arms across his chest, like a vampire so that he would not fiddle with himself during the night.

Sorry, busy at work.  It may be another 2 minutes before I get a mushroom picture up.

Usually something blue.  Not sky blue though or I look like a landscape painting in portrait.

@throbber's Christmas present from the missus?

if being on pie and bovril is being 'busy at work' then I'm getting my leavers slip tomorrow.

If you have ever given @Shandon Par any slack for wearing running tights, then you need to post a written apology immediately.

I remember always being told to keep our hands on the table when I was a kid, never told why. Adults had filthy minds in the olden days I guess.

That's throbber in the picture.

I apologise to no man in tights.

Some still do.

He's younger and less speccy than one imagined. 

Any girl who genuinely prefers jeans to leggings needs to have a stern talking to, imho

Cross the Milky Bar kid with Wee Burney and you have your @throbber

Greenie for the use of "one". Lovely to see a bit of much needed formality on P&B.

You okay, Nkomo?

And told they have their head screwed on. Leggings are absolutely bogging. When fat lassies wear them there is nothing left to the imagination and when skinny lassies wear them it makes their legs look like twigs.

Horrible things and I've no idea why women wear them.

I agree they can be unflattering, but 

A) if you get thick leggings then they can make your legs look ace

B) what with skinny jeans your legs look like twigs anyway so no avoiding that

C) they are comfortable, warm, if you go out to eat you can eat way more than if you were wearing jeans and if you workout/dance/ do gymnastics they are the superior option especially because if you wear shorts you run the chance of being harassed and I try to avoid that as much as possible

A) No legs have ever looked "ace" while in leggings.

B.) I agree. Skinny jeans are another abomination as well. Trying to find boot cut in shops is a joke now as they're filled with these monstrosities.

C) I'll obviously need to take your word for it re. comfort. If your being harassed for wearing shorts though you must stay in a questionable area [emoji38]

A) see photo attached

B) I personally really like them but I am of that generation so that's probably why

C) PE in school is a hot bed of harassment and always has been. Although that's really the only place I've experienced it lately but leggings are still superior for working out, especially if it's cold

That genuinely does nothing for me.

I can't ever recall lassies getting harassed in PE in my school. The boys would obviously have a sly peek but I never heard any comments. Again, your area is maybe questionable [emoji14]

ok well fair enough then.

Might just be a new thing but the boys are pretty vocal at all times in school and don't seem to get in trouble for it. I live in fife so it's not the best but not the worst to be fair, but still like 20% of my year are verging on being neo-nazis so a bit of harassment isnt suprising

Back in late August I had a follow up scan after my acute pancreatitis attack in May. Unfortunately the scan showed I had a small tumour in the head of my pancreas and the scraping test results indicated it to be cancerous. Less than 2 weeks later I was put under the knife to undergo what's called the "whipple procedure" where they  remove part of your stomach, pancreas, intestines and all of your bile duct. Thankfully the operation went well and I was discharged from hospital after 2 weeks, albeit 20kg lighter.

I've been given a tablet form of chemotherapy which I can take at home in 4 weeks on/2 weeks off cycles. I'm coming to the end of the first 4 weeks and the only side effect I'm suffering from so far is a bit of nausea.

Sorry if I've brought the mood down but just wanted to get it off my chest. It's good to talk and all that!

Q3.  If The Kincardine stays awake for 24 hours and consumes 3 bottles of gin (45% abv), a bottle of creme de menth (35% abv) and 2 bottle of Bezique (37.5% abv), how much slavering pish will he type every hour?

Probably just the same amount as usual

High risk of spontaneous human combustion I'd say!
