^^ Mmmm...?

Anyway mate, where's the (daughter's) Christmas chocolate orange?

You could start a YouTube channel call it something like...


" Inside the functioning braincell of my gardener"

^ To be honest I am unfair at times and there is nothing wrong with the gardener, apart from his gardening skills. He doesn't have it easy (remember, I get away from the wife for at least 4 months a year! ) and I am in his debt regarding my daughter's welfare.

If it all works out I am thinking of daily updates to my pond thread, either video or stills, whichever are more interesting!

Ok, so maybe weekly updates will suffice?

Looks good. Deserves a thread of it's own.

I need a table project on the side to kill some time

3175 pieces. Its an off brand Lego. It has good reviews. $170. If this was real lego it would be $370

^ If it was real Lego it might have a suitable age range on the box? 7/8 years old. Suggests it might be too difficult for you.

Strictly speaking, this wasn't 'my' impulsive buy, but one of many of my good lady wife's after endless 'research' on Facebook and LINE. But I hope as we're a loving family unit, this has stayed on topic.

We have such an endless stream of delivery drivers arriving that I no longer even bother to answer my own doorbell. They can just get on with it. On the rare occasion I do answer the door and it's COD, I tell them I have no money. But without speaking of course, I just do MalmoMike's elephant impression but without getting my cock out. I flap out my empty pockets and say 'Mei mee', sans trunk.

But anyway, this multi-story plastic piece of shit recently arrived in the kitchen, and how did we ever manage without it beforehand? So long as it doesn't topple over from a waft of breeze from a closing door, it is apparently designed to contain a few (small) food items that couldn't possibly have gone in the fridge.

Yesterday the bottom story contained a small bowl of shrimps thawing out, above which sat my barramundi fillets. Above them was a plate of stone-cold, runny-yoked fried eggs... I mean... why? The top two stories held bowls of dark, evil-smelling, viscous concoctions that I would think twice about using as pest control.

What a useful addition to our kitchenware this is.

My missus loves her plastic boxes too. Why breakfast cereals, various meats(often rotten) couldnt stay in their original boxes or packaging with the use by dates attached
..and why it took her until poisoning herself to realise, i don't understand.

That would have been a bit of a shock, chomping into one of those millionaire shortbread looking raw fish fillets.

Maybe you should give some thought to merging the everyday contents of this "plastic piece of shit" into your whats in your skimmer box thread.

As it happens, the Current Wannabe Mrs. Shu looked up from her phone recently to show me the exact same thing on LazBook or somewhere. She started to explain its benefits and I might have cut her off rather abruptly. It hasn't been mentioned since.

^ If she's still interested I could probably clean it up a bit!

Christmas is coming, and all that.

I'm not about to mention it to her again. Anyway, I think it looks fine in the Mendip household, a sort of shrine to the compromises that form part of the tapestry of married life. A focal point in the kitchen, until the day Yogi discovers it full of dog treats on the floor. It would be a sad end.

My uncle set one up that went all around his garden. It looked ace.

Just after his divorce...

^^^^^^^Brilliant David

I had the exact same set when I was 10.

But I switched the button controller for a patched in scalextric trigger controller so I could vary the speed of the train and simulate tragic crashes on sharp bends with little 1/72 soldiers standing in for maimed and wounded passengers.

I had the Flying Scotsman set too - excellent bit of Kit.

Mrs Mendip's purchase is very much on a par with Mrs Boo's purchases. Thais are insane.

Herman Goering had one hell of a train set
