Sorry Bats, it's always hard even when it's expected or even a blessing in disguise.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread

I know how you are feeling.

It is. Was the same with my MIL . You just want them to be there as themselves , not removed behind the wretched disease.
I'm sorry for your loss Bats. It doesn't matter she left a while ago. The physical loss is still a hard blow. You and yours take care.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

:rofl: So true.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Most of these look way overpriced...and that's before you notice it's ££ and not $$ :eek:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I'm a bit of a sneaker-head so although I don't think much of them style-wise, I don't find them overpriced.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Not compared with the cost of a roof over your head in Vancouver or an evening with the twins, probably not. :lol:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

What no 'Adidas Tobacco' or "Stan Smith' or "Munich 72'. I must admit I'm a non trainers guy. I've had the only pair I own since 2010 and they are barely broken in.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I don't like the current styling for men's suits. They all look as if they have shrunk.

Oh and why have women's waists moved up a couple of inches?

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Although still tailored I think the style has moved away from the extreme slim fit that was fashionable four years ago. The only ones still wearing them super tight are middle-aged movie stars who are desperate to seem young and Canadian blokes, who seem to be always out of date when it comes to current style.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I'm wearing Stan Smith tennis shoes. Therefore they are not out of style.:p

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Stan wants them back though. :p

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Good heavens.
I see Dunlop Green Flash are still available.

Not that I'd buy from SportsDirect but they're £17.50.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I wish I could win a small lotto jack pot and buy a fish store.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Yes!

I don't think it is so much that they are tight, as the jackets are very short, and sort of cutaway at the bottom of the front, as if they don't quite overlap properly. They don't suit my very tall other half, and yet they don't seem to suit that short weatherman on the telly either.

The karma thieves have struck...poor defenceless little Oink is the victim of such a vicious crime - maybe we need to have a whip round- poor little chap :(

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Have you been raiding the dispensary?

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Or is it just that every has dropped down about 6 inches? :unsure:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Count your little boxes below your raving little DJ avatar....zilch...nada...Gawd blimey you must have been a naughty boy:eek:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I never realized what they were before now, naff me I'm rubbish. Although I suppose one is never appreciated for their art in their lifetime. ;)

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I am amazed that mine havent been removed by the powers that be ..:unsure:

Warhol Rothko and Lichtenstein might dispute your supposition ;)

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Didn't know you liked football?

Anyway karma thingy fixed. :)

I can sleep soundly now:thumbup:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

The sink hole in the main spillway is crazy. Seems the dam itself is fine, but the spillway and the emergency spillway that is at issue.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Move it here, so long as you make decent chips to go with the fish ;)

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Not that kind of fish store silly... :p

There was one for sale recently in BC, and eh just would be a good gig...lol

The future?

Charlee gets you an introduction into the pet stores in Chilliwack, maybe you could get on with some of those as holiday relief or something, to get your foot in the door. There's always a chance one of them is lacking someone knowledgeable in the fish dept.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

A week ago, our friend had yet another stroke, Palliative care and end of life leaflets were given to us, she has a DNR, last wednesday morning her husband was being consoled by the nursing home staff as Prue was unresponsive, well a week later, she is back to her old self eating battenburgs and guzzling tea, no one can quite believe it.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Good for her! When we were asked, "At your funeral, what would you like people to say about you?", some said, "He was kind", or "He was generous." What I'd like to hear them say is "Look!, I think he's moving!"

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

The only stores with fish are the 2 chain stores, and I have applied to both a few times. Charlee is well known at a couple stores though, the employees know her by name..lol

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

A friend came round for dinner last night, we'd arranged to each cook a curry (I cooked two and did rice, raita etc). When she got here I said to her that I hadn't put any fresh coriander in as I didn't know whether she liked it or not. "Oh" says she, "I'm allergic to that!" - "Woops" said I "there's coriander seed in both the curries I made!"

Sigh.

Worse was to come.

Sitting drinking a wine or 3 around 11.30pm and she's telling me jokes..

"Did you hear the one about the guy who was on life support? He died and his family asked if they could switch it back on to see if it would jump start him"

I just stared at her. "Umm.. Deb... just..........no" I said.

Then it clicked for her and she put her head down.

My brother was on life support for a week, until 3rd Feb.. the jump start didn't work.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Wow, I bet she was embarrassed! That started out as a blonde joke, or it was when I heard it. At least she could eat the curry she'd brought. I think she should have told you about her allergy if the intent was for you to share, but next time it won't be an issue. Apparently there is a certain percentage of people who can't stand cilantro, and it tastes like soap to them.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

On BBC iPlayer there's a 6 part documentary called HOSPITAL. I thought it an excellent disclosure of the good and not so good things facing hospitals operating under NHS Trusts. I'm always impressed with people in hospitals doing amazing and heroic things, often under extreme handicaps.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Shaw internet used to be pretty reliable, but these days it seems to be getting worse by the day, maybe its their way of getting people to upgrade to a pricier option, make the lower cost options a pain the rear end to use. ;)

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Very similar things happening in Ontario hospitals.

I could not imagine ever having 100k in cash, let alone forgetting about it..lol
