My dad died in 1999, well before smartphones became a thing, and I know you shouldn't speak ill of the dead but had he been around in an age of dating apps I would have had even more half brothers and sisters than I have and I can't afford the Christmas cards as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted March 15, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted March 15, 2023 There’s this Irish bloke who lives in Thailand and goes around helping abandoned and mistreated dogs and his Twitter is brilliant. Some of the ‘before’ videos of the dogs are hard to look at and will make any dog lover angry but seeing the transformation as they get better is lovely. This little chap named Rodney’s recovery is what initially brought me to the account and he’s almost unrecognisable from the state he was found in. Really worth a follow if you’re on Twitter. I was sick of the bullshit on that app and was recently close to deactivating but this account was probably the main reason I didn’t.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted March 20, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted March 20, 2023 Took my 91 year old Gran on holiday to the Land of Our Fathers over the weekend. Lovely time and well pleased to be able to give her some enjoyable memories after a shit few years for her and the family generally. Drove us as far up Sugar Loaf Mountain as the car could go and we just sat and watched the valleys in silence for about 20 minutes. Have always felt very lucky to have such a good relationship with my grandparents in contrast with my folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted March 20, 2023 Awards Moderator Share Posted March 20, 2023 Only saw the death-related posts earlier today and was so glad it’s not just me. We’ve got a WhatsApp group for celebrity carking. I find out about famous deaths in here way sooner than if I was to rely on the news, Twitter or Pete. The only rule we have is that it must be a crap pun (sorry, Butch) based on the recently deceased’s name. In recent months we’ve had David Cold, Hearstie Alley, Deadson Arantes do Nascimento, Ghoulio, Grimreaper Vialli, Death Beck, Crosby’s ill & ash, Sickie Davies and Christian Flatsu. Whoever gets in first gets a point and at the end of the year, we have a night out where the winner doesn’t buy a drink. If my Mum finds out I’ll be out of the will.

Somebody is going to hell for this, and I guess I'll be joining them once I've stopped giggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Danger Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I was was emotionally blackmailed in to going to Chester Zoo on Sunday and I had to queue for a good half hour to pay £20 for some drinks and there was a bloke waiting at the counter the whole time getting increasingly more agitated. When I got to the front the lad brought him a vegan hotdog out and apologised for the wait. That’s what you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Was alerted to a blog/website that lists bands from Coventry. Didn’t realise it was so in depth to the point that one of my old bands had an entry (like your mum). There was even a photograph, a link to a song, and the blurb named me personally!  I’m quite amazed and astounded we were remembered!

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted March 30, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted March 30, 2023 Based on the police logo on his top I thought it looked off.

Paid Members Ronnie Posted March 31, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted March 31, 2023 Checking the phone through bleary eyes as soon as the alarm goes off is usually a waste of time. Occasionally, however, it gets the day off to a cracking start: Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted April 2, 2023 Author Paid Members Share Posted April 2, 2023 (edited) Have come to the end of my most recent journal notebook, and have opened a new pack of Field Notes books, American National Parks special edition. Going to start with the Acadia one. Always nice to start writing away in a fresh new notebook. Â EDIT: Found out that the paper does note take fountain pen ink very well - a lot of "bleed", gets quite blotchy. Going to be journalling in biro for a while, which, to be fair, would be a change. But yeh - if you're also a fountain pen user, I wouldn't recommend Field Notes books. They are very high quality, but clearly the paper's too lightweight for that sort of ink.
