Northampton is a right sh*t hole,though it isn't too bad in a broader spectrum..its "quiet" enough and very diverse in terms of space but still full of d*ckheads.

That can be said of anywhere these days.

LOL, that's one reason why I'm glad I can't get out without help. Don't have to see that side of local life

Ahh, this f**king guy..

Im sure the Taliban arent exactly strapped for cash seeing as they make a few boat loads off heroin. Now have an air force and lightly armoured vehicle brigade but this is ridiculous. What sort of BS game is this man playing??


"play nice and we'll give you your cash back"

*cough* politics.

What about that cricket, eh? Jolly good stuff and what not.

I have bitten my lip for the last couple of weeks to the point where I now need cosmetic surgery. Speaking as someone who was part of the very first UK Battlegroup to deploy to Afghanistan in early 2002, sent in to establish a foothold and liberate Kabul it pains me now looking at recent footage to initially see how much progress had been made (I don't recall seeing a single fully intact building left standing in the capital back then) to then see such total capitulation now. It likely is of little surprise to both our American and British military friends that the Defence Force who had been trained for 17 years by us capitulated in such swift fashion sadly.

My battlegroup also had the first British casualty of the campaign and my deployment was delayed because I had to notify the 21 year old wife holding the 6 month old baby of the death and then look after the repatriation of the body and organise the subsequent military funeral before I could get out there.

I salute you sir! That could not have been anything less than deeply unpleasant.

Emotionally scarred for life no doubt but time is a good healer, we have been in touch on a couple of occasions since, she eventually re-married and had 2 more children, she sent me a picture of the boy on his 16th Birthday and said thank you, after I came back from the tour I was asked to accompany her (at her request) to the Coroners inquest, it was made harder by the fact that she was at the time only a couple of years older than my oldest daughter.

How I feel when there is a heatwave..and this never gets old.

Just found out that HMRC calls dibs if you get any crypto profits.

How I feel when I have to go to work (I don't hate my job - but it's a job).

Does your work have AC?

 

[AusWolf]

No, but I work night shifts.

 

[kurosagi01]

No, but I work night shifts.

Hm..dunno which I would rather have lol.

I prefer this slightly edited version. I think it captures the moment a bit better

Sadly its going to be thunder storming all night and possibly for part of tomorrow here also. At least that is what the forecast says.

Same here, though there isn't a single cloud in the sky at the moment.

[kurosagi01]

As long as the weather drops tonight, bring on the thunderstorm.

Though I could do a night shift of programming instead of during the day but no gains from it as most of my colleagues operate during the day and I prefer sleeping while its night time and not during the day.
A little frustrating I sent a box with 2 Manga books in there last week 1st class recorded and Royal Mail has somehow lost it.

 

[AusWolf]

most of my colleagues operate during the day

That's exactly why I prefer nights (besides the extra pay). Not that I have anything against my colleagues (they're all nice people as individuals), but as a general rule of thumb: fewer people = less b!tching.

So, I'm dual citizen as I was born in Ontario and married my wife from the UK 3 years ago, we both have dual citizenship and have homes and families both in the UK and Canada but what is going on everywhere right now is completely crazy, she travelled back to the UK last year to attend her grandfathers funeral and has been unable to return to Canada since, as they implemented lockdown not long after the funeral and since then even when things opened up, she couldn't travel back to Canada as it has been on the red list and she hasn't had her vaccines as she has had anaphylactic shock from previous injections, I know someone who has offered me a route to the UK at great cost to myself, roughly 15k CA$, I'm desperate to be with her again , what will happen to me if I do this and get caught? I have no life without her so the risk is worth it, I just want to come where she is and I will quarantine, stay wherever they want me to

Yeah, Limmy has a lot of weird stuff (though I like it). This was one such thing - for those that dont know - he can say it, it's a sketch.
