[naughty.tortie]

Well..... it couldnt be lost forever could it !

So its back... all singing, all dancing... no farting allowed...

May the dirtiest player win 😄




I am first... I WILL BE LAST

[peteryola]

Don't go getting blown off the mountain then, cke.  The rain is the least of the problems this weekend - there's very strong winds forecast as well.

[cke786]

Meh, gentle breezes they were, nothing I haven't dealt with driving in Wales before 😉

[peteryola]

Well, at least we have some proper weather back for tomorrow and Wednesday in the south east. 

[kame-hame]

Holy sweet baby Chesus, it has been a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong while since my last invasion of this place! Seems I win the thread 😄

[wizilizi]

Scorching all week
Friends daughters wedding coming up this Saturday
Yup, the forecast is abysmal 😒

And no, you're not the thread winner
Not now

[peteryola]

What is abysmal about scorching weather Wizi?

It is currently 26.7°C in my study and I'm quite comfortable.  The windows are closed, by the way...

[wizilizi]

Oh my stars - or other expletives - Petery. How could you??!! 

My ambient temperature is 15-17 degrees

im barely able to unction in this heat - over about 23 & I really need to be in an air conditioned atmospher

Thank goodness my car has air-con, set at 16 degs, rising to 18 if the weather is cold 

[wizilizi]

Apologies for typos - it's late!

[peteryola]

I just like it warm, Wizi.  It has been warmer than that up here at times...

As autumn turns into winter each year, funnily enough it's usually Yola who breaks first and asks me to put the heating on.  This typically happens once the temperature in the house has dipped below about 18°C...

Psstt.... you can edit your posts to get rid of typos...  it's under "options" in the top right hand corner...

Yeah, but that option lasts for only about a minute, then it's gone 😞

[peteryola]

Only a minute?  I've used it up to about 5 minutes after posting when I spotted a typo.  Maybe they've changed it.  Again.

[cke786]

Meehhhh, it's being one of those slow and boring weeks so far 😞

[wizilizi]

Thank you Petery 🙂

[wizilizi]

I don't see 'options' 😞
I'd just better type correctly 😄

[peteryola]

Options should be at the top right corner of the posts you have written.

Busy couple of days, I had to produce an advert, which will be printed in tomorrow's The Bolton News Homestyle Feature! I spent pretty much the whole of Wednesday doing the thing and sent it off at the end of the day, though in the morning of the Thursday, the boss decided that he wanted to add a couple of special offers to the advert, which I had to hurriedly get done before the morning was out and send it to the Bolton New publisher... we received the proof this morning, so I know they're going to be printing the right one!

[peteryola]

At least you still have a functioning local rag; the owners of our one have just issued the entire staff with reduncancy notices thinking they can produce it centrally from their HQ.  They've also cancelled the photo agency contracts.

[cke786]

Ouchies, that's not good! I know we have to tighten our belts a bit, but that is rather extreme!

[peteryola]

It is provoking a certain level of.... interest.  Unfortunately of course they're not allowed to actually print that news in their own newspaper and instead have to resort to using social media to spread the word!

It's not exactly belt tightening either; the owning company is extremely profitable - particularly given the sector.

[cke786]

I see, the whole, maximising profits for the few thing!

And speaking of bad news, we've just had an update on our fellow worker, he's lost one lung operation from the pneumonia and the other one is not doing so great either 😞
