I wasn't expecting constant sun and temperatures in the mid 30s but fucking hell. Its warmer in Sydney during mid winter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'WellDel Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 There used to be a free bus from our area that took folk to/from the Motherwell Fine Fare. There was an auld wifie who got on it that used to go in and make a beeline to where they had a trolley of cheap damaged and dented tins, some with the labels missing. She'd shake them in an attempt to guess their contents then take a few. Must have been a tense affair in her house at lunchtime playing 'tin roulette' to see if you were getting a bowl of soup, custard, or pedigree chum. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hated them then, hate the advert now, and if that the best that Cornwall has to offer as culture they are all close enough to it to all f**k off into the sea. Cornwall's a bit like Edinburgh in that it's now full of home counties wankers that the real natives loathe. Vote Mebyon Kernow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s an almost unprecedented cold front due to come through Texas this weekend, and the highs next week have fallen to 32 (on one day) with a 30-50% chance of rain three days. Overnight lows may actually hit 21 (for one day)… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
