Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

For stuff not worth it's own thread....

My local newspaper wasn't delivered at the usual time Saturday and as I was picking up the unread sports section from Friday to throw away I discovered the reason why.
Unforeseen circumstances. There was an explanatory note.

Apparently these circumstances were the kind foreseen a couple of days earlier when they had advance notice of these unforeseen circumstances. :huh::blink:

Now, this note was delivered with the paper on Friday morning. I believe it's usually between 5.00 and 6.00, so it's probably put together in the early hours, so this note was probably printed Thursday night and came about from information received earlier on Thursday. About Saturday's unforeseen circumstances.

:rofl:

William and Kate are going to visit our local coast guard station next to the gas barge tomorrow. I thought I might pop along and see if he wants to go fishing, its pretty good at the moment. He'll have to understand that its no birds allowed and he better get the beers in.

Newspaper? They still print those things? ;)

I've complained about this before on this site.

I nearly drove into an oncoming truck the other night. Rural area, no streetlights. It had a bright nearside headlight, none on the offside. I thought it was a motor cycle, near miss.

I drive to my daughetr's house 5 miles away a few times daily. Without exception I see at least one vehicle with defective lights.. each way.

Replacing a light isn't expensive, difficult or time consuming.

Don't these idiots realise that in addition to seeing where you're going, it also tells people where you are.

The police don't seem to give a damn. What do we pay them for?

Rant over.

Should be in the cheese thread (or spread) but I like a fancy teapot which is a bit weird as I hate tea:(

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I've baked and frozen 11 gluten free cakes in the past week. I'm sick to death of gluten free anything. (It's for a wedding cake for my partner's celiac daughter's wedding next week) I have also made about 100 gum paste rose leaves in various sizes, 30 gum paste rose buds and 6 full sized gum paste roses.

Next daughter better not want a cake!

That reminds me of my childhood when out in the car at night.

My dad would say let's give those two motor bike riders a scare and drive right between them. :eek: :rofl:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

An essential part of the day. It's online but you can't really take a laptop into the toilet.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I confused. Why do you drive to your daughters house several times daily? Why not just stay longer? 😕

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

No suppose a laptop to the bathroom is harder...lol



Randomness around here today is some other half who went to Vancouver in the hopes to possibly, just maybe get a glimpse of Kate and William who will be taking a float plane into Vancouver today.

She is a bit of a royals fan.....

Ferrying kids.

I went down to the Sea Trade Centre and saw the queen arrive in the Britannia back in 1983. The Britannia pulled in on one side of the dock, and 2 Canadian destroyers escorting pulled in on the other side, and the yacht was bigger than the 2 destroyers together. When she got off I jumped over from one balcony to another where there was more room and heard the man next to me say to his friend,
"You see, Hans?, just like I said, she got a beige dress und a ugly hat."
A couple of days later I saw her motorcade on Marine Drive too, she waved at me again! :lol:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

She must have remembered that beige dress and ugly hat you wore previously. :ohmy:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Watching the live feed on a news site, and the people don't realize a microphone is on live and one kid keeps telling his mom he wants to go home...lol


One official lady keeps looking at her watch, must be the keep on schedule person?

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Or maybe she's as bored as that kid. :lol:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Maybe lol...

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

That'd be Prince Charles.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Charlie's good on tour, for my money every bit as good as his dad. When he came to our neighbourhood he sat down with the kids in the Chili For Children program at Albert Scott just down the road and ate deer chili with the kids. He's not chaperoning this one though.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Yikes.

Or the opposite. Morons driving with their highbeams on a busy road in the city. Its like going blind!

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

As this is a random thread I'd just like to add I have had about 5 beers today around Halifax...that is all lol

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Congratulations on your restraint! :thumbsup:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I never realised your trip was this imminent. :unsure:

Random retro photo from the 80's, maybe 1981, my sister on the right was born in Dec 80.. The man in the middle is my mom's dad.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

No, me neither, is it as good as you hoped it would be Becks? My husband thinks Halifax is great, and even suggested we move there...I'm not sure I'm ready for more of the same, just with a lot more people thrown in. Have one for me:beer:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

The M on my keyboard has no obvious issue - it doesn't 'feel' any different when pressing it like the space bar on a previous keyboard did when it went 'funny', there's no resistance or anything but every now and then the M doesn't come out on screen.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Sounds like a vitamin M deficiency, try taking a few M&M in the morning and a few before bed time


If that fails try pushing the key really hard with ya thumb till it clicks

Milo Minderbinder ensured that we'd all have a share.

Need any Egyptian cotton?

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Only if chocolate covered.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

And the lead changes hands...

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

The instruction manual for my mitre saw is crap. The instructions for changing the blade are impossible. They involve bits that don't actually exist on the saw.

I noticed a couple of leaves on my lawn this morning. And lots of geese.

Oh well......

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Closing Time.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Leaves and geese aside, do you think you should really be using an unsupervised mitre saw?

You know what usually happens next.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Haha - it was more the fact my stomach would explode with any more beer consumed.

Yeah I arrived on Saturday

Halifax seems nice. Only explored a bit so far. Went out to Peggy's Cove and Lunenburg today - loved it

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Post some photos.

Nova Scotia is on my to do list, if only it were not so far away.....:lol:
