    My custom colour made to order hat just arrived today. It's gorgeous, very well made and very professionally presented; my wife will be thrilled with it.

    And if you get one you're supporting a small business and a longstanding UKFFer. So get on it!

    Thank you so much! Iā€™ve had some really nice feedback about your colour choices too so I might have to make a couple more. Iā€™m really glad youā€™re pleased. Iā€™ve also had that pom-pom for a while but not found the right hat for it to go on so this was a perfect match.

    Posting for reference:

  2. I had a slight obsession with Prisoner when I was younger. I might still be on some sort of register after writing to Jimā€™ll Fix It about combining my two passions at the time - Prisoner and Jason Donovan but thatā€™s another story.

    Back last year sometime they had a ā€˜Prisoner Specialā€™ on Neighbours as Colette Mann (Doreen) and Jackie Woodburne (Julie) areĀ regulars. They had an appearance by Val Lehman (Bea) and had a lot of in-joke lines like someone said, ā€œOh yeah Paul, he used to give me roses,ā€ and such like. A lot of the cast still pop up in Neighbours from time to time too like Janet Andrewartha (Reb) whoā€™s Lynn ScullyĀ and Lesley Baker (Monica) who plays Toadieā€™s mum. I love that Aussie actors just do the circuit of soaps.

    Just found this - the gang back together!

    Absolutely, although itā€™s a Christmas present for Mrs Scratch so Iā€™ll have to wait until then.

    I sent some pics to my mate who doesnā€™t post here and he wondered if you could make him a plain black one. Is that something youā€™d do?

    He messaged me so Iā€™ve relied already. Thanks for the promo!

    My hat arrived today from @MonkeeĀ and itā€™s amazing! Extra points for the splendid presentation and speedy delivery!Ā 

    Thank you so much! Iā€™m glad it arrived safe and sound. Iā€™d love to see photos of it being worn if you have 2 mins at some point and wouldnā€™t mind.

    I don't have any experience with woodwork, but just needed something to keep me sane.Ā 

    @Monkee Do you do toddler sized hats?Ā 

    I do, yes. All of the hats I make can be done in various sizes and colours.

  6. Over the last few months Iā€™ve been making stuff to keep me busy andĀ boost my non-existent income since being made redundant.

    So I thought Iā€™d make a thread to pimp out some hats Iā€™ve made recently to see if anyone might fancy buying one as a Christmas present. I do custom orders so feel free to ask about colours and sizes. Examples below or go to www.instagram.com/loopsupsideyourhead

    Has anyone elseĀ taken up making stuff in the last few months?

    This would have been better last week, but TIL that the body of the Yorkshire Rippers 6th victim, Jean Jordan was discovered by future Les Battersby actor Bruce Jones.

    I saw/read an interview with him a few years ago where he said heā€™s still traumatised by finding the body and that he was a suspect for the murder afterwards. Itā€™s one of the reasons he became an alcoholic.

  8. @Kaz HayashiĀ I bought mine a few years ago now but I did a bit of research into what was good for design at the time. I went for an Acer with these specs and never had any problems:Ā

    Iā€™m not really techy but this was recommended online for design and it was a reasonable price at Curryā€™s PC World. Not sure what todayā€™s equivalent would be.

    I know it's not for everyone but I bloody love mint chocolate!Ā 

    I'm not actually a coffee drinker so its surprising that I like coffee chocolate, have you ever had chocolate covered coffee beans? They are really good!

    I love chocolate covered coffee beans! Iā€™m partial to anything thatā€™s got coffee flavouring in it. And mint chocolate is right up there too. I used to love Ben & Jerryā€™s Mint Chocolate Chunk but you can only get it from their kiosks rather than in tubs. I reckon my freezer would be full of it if they sold that in Tesco!

    HavingĀ said that, I literally just saw that theyā€™ve got Minter Wonderland in shops now so Iā€™m going to have to get a tub ASAP.

    A friend in Australia sent me Cherry Ripes before and they're outstanding. They're like a bar of Raspberry Ruffles (but Cherry flavour obviously)

    I love Raspberry Ripples but I donā€™t like cherries so I never had a Cherry Ripe in Australia. My friend practically lived on them for about 8 months though.

  11. @gmoneyhit the nail on the head for me - more coffee flavours! Iā€™m not a huge chocolate fan (I only got rid of a half emptyĀ box of Quality Street from Christmas recently) but if I do want some itā€™s usually mint or coffee if I can get it.

    My mum runsĀ a hospital shop and had to clearĀ out stock in July when she thought it was reopening. I got a full box of dark chocolate Bounty as itā€™s one of my favourites. Iā€™ve probably eaten two bars since then.

  12. Iā€™m so sorry for what youā€™re going through, @Frankie Crisp, and to your mateā€™s family obviously. Your posts have really cut me up and I donā€™t even want to imagine what you/they are going through.

    I donā€™t want to take anything away fromĀ your pain but this situation is exactly what Iā€™m petrified of - my parents are that same age, my dad had underlying health problems and he would go to pieces if anything happened to my mum.

    I had to leave a WhatsApp group recently because I was sick to death of seeing these people (ā€˜friendsā€™) hanging out in each otherā€™s homes and having parties, going to pubs and restaurants, going on physical dates (and booking into hotel rooms) evening sharing an AirBnB together a couple of weeks ago. It enrages me that they just donā€™t give a crap about anyone else. Talked about this a lot yesterday in therapy too because being in the WhatsApp group and seeing all this going on has really knocked me the last couple of weeks. Theyā€™re all a waste of space.

  13. Twitterā€™s statement about Glinner is quite hypocritical considering a lot of other verified accounts out there that people are calling forĀ to be suspended:

    ā€œTwitter defines platform manipulation as ā€˜using Twitter to engage in bulk, aggressive, or deceptive activity that misleads others and/or disrupts their experienceā€™.ā€

    Katie Hopkins is gone, now Glinner. Letā€™s hope theyā€™re finally growing a spine.

    Such a shame that is being rethemed, racism never once came into my mind when riding this.

    Have you ever seen the film? Do you know the story behind the theming?

    I think itā€™s a great idea. Itā€™s never stood out as particularly Disney to me and,Ā while the ride itself is a classic, itā€™s outdated and needed a spruce up. In all the times Iā€™ve been to Disney I think I rode it once when I was little and once as an adult. Itā€™s boring. It doesnā€™t even have that ā€˜itā€™s so rubbish itā€™s greatā€™ vibe that other rides like Pirates of the Caribbean has.

    Ā I think reimagining it as Princess and the Frog is a great idea.
