Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
I'm going to my first ever professional ice hockey match on Tuesday. Apparently our seats include "an all inclusive experience which features a rotating tapas style buffet and non-alcoholic beverages 
. A private VIP entrance (giggity), private restrooms, multiple television monitors in the upscale lounge area, and a fully stocked cash bar with premium beverages available."

You can become the BE whooper-upper-in-chief for icing hockey.

Like the NF eco pad. Will put it on my "if I win Euromillions list." I don't see any problem in pitching it as a remote luxury getaway for those who want that sort of experience. Alternative more affordable inn looks inviting too.

This phrase, "on trend" is very on trend as it happens. We used to just say "trendy" but that is no longer on trend it seems.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Sometimes would be nice to have the hearing of a dog to figure out what they are hearing and why they keep running around chasing something I can't see or hear in the wall, something is keeping her determined. This building has had mice problems for a year now, haven't spotted one inside the apartment for several months and none of our traps have caught anything but I did seal all the holes up under the counters they were coming in from, but I wonder if she is hearing mice in the walls or something, I can't find any evidence of one being in the apartment as I searched high and low, but she clearly smells/hears something that has kept her up and going for 8 hours now.
