We were all sent home from work as Russia was just about to begin a nuclear attack. I was driven into the city centre at crazy speeds by a female colleague in an old battered Peugeot hatchback. Later, when closer to home I met another, older former colleague from a different job. She was distressed having just attended a funeral. She hugged me and asked me to buy her two blank reels of cine film, 15mm and 16mm. I tried to explain the difficulty of this request and headed for home. On the way I passed a BP filling station about a mile from where I live. There was a bed on the pavement outside so I crawled in and tried to sleep. A Polish sounding girl, a stranger, started to hassle me about when I would find the film. I explained that a war was about to start and tried frantically to find my home number on my iPhone. This is a recurring theme, being unable to make my phone function in dreams. I seemed to reach home as the dream faded.

I know that it was a repeat last night, but the BBC News caption describing the asteroid expert as an astrologer really burst my knitting. We're legally bound to pay these muppets a fee.🤬

Quote from: Thenop on May 01, 2024, 06:20:11 PMYes, so on with the bag search, and I found one (I am very picky), but it's only sold in the USA. Ughh. My wife (who by now was sick of hearing me talk about a bag - normal housholds have reversed discussions I am told) uttered: "just buy the damn thing".
So I did, but before I did I had a clear moment and Googled "discount code Kodiak leather". Found 3 of them, 30 & 20% did not work, but the 15% did! So, had a 15% discount the bag I wanted.

All of this is a pre cursor to another rant how sh!t UPS is in delivering I am sure, but I am savouring this moment.

Don't know what you're looking for exactly, but I recently bought my sister a leather backpack from www.mahileather.com  Indian company with decent website and good reviews. Prices seemed ok to me and quality was good. Arrived FedEx in five working days including personalised monogram stitching.

Two nights of terrible nightmares which I won't describe. Hopefully tonight will be peaceful.

A real brain-fog day with consecutive line errors. Twelve minutes.

I'm glad I've never been exposed to music at this level of quality reproduction as I'd probably like it and think about putting something together. I was blown away by my first experience with stereo in the 70s and everything I've bought since then has impressed me thoroughly, but middle the road separates like Technics have always felt like enough. Horses for courses though, you don't buy Cadenza to play a Rickenbacker bass along with.

Five minutes. Weird choice of line three guess rather than the more obvious solution.

Supermarkets regularly changing their store layouts to coax a few measly extra quid out of our pockets. Makes life difficult for the elderly, disabled and visually impaired. Governments should be able to regulate this type of behaviour but they never will as more profits mean more taxes. Plus, staff are already overworked and must hate the process of carrying it out and then dealing with the inevitable customer direction probably on a minimum wage 20 hour contract.
