Its not a bad city at all very livable in, teaching out in some of the rough areas has thrown up a few real horror stories though.
Aside from all the stories about the kid everyone calls Stabby Joe the most shocking I heard is the couple who arrived at the school in June complaining because the school had not reported them to child services for mistreating their child.
The reason was that holidays were coming and they wanted the kids taken into care for the summer so they didn't have to mind themselvesTurning millions into thousands

She prob should have done a test to potentially disconfirm it was Rebekah too, like block her and release a fake story because I assume instagram staff have access to those private accounts so could have been any of those, and guessing they'd be more in need of a few quid.Profit before people.

Surprised England haven't shortened a bit in the outright having this game cancelled at the weekend. Would have been a bruising encounter. They faced a 14 man Argentina for most of that game and now this, doesn't come any handier in a tournament where attritional levels is always a big factor.Profit before people.

TBH he is amazing in everything.
I was in the back row and somebody was just standing behind me in an alcove for some reason. I was like great here we go, a shooting and I will be the one tackling them. They left after 15 minutes

8:40pm screening?
I was three rows from the back, just right of centre.
It also passed the absolute litmus test where by Mrs Lao Lao didn't sleep at all during the film, not even a second of nodding off!

How do they not have a contingency to move the games? This is absolutely a known known that they have had years to prepare for. Asterisk beside the name of the winner of this tournament now.
Wouldn’t happen in chavball

I’ve come to the realisation that you can’t actually ruin the FIFA World Cup, Fifa have tried many times and every time it survives ( though I think the next team expansion to 48 I think is gonna test this theory

We'll still get our utterly predictable last 4 and the tourney will start then 5 weeks after the official start.Profit before people.

Mattress journey finished. Definitely worth haggling, got €250 off in the cheapest place I could find. €400 cheaper than Arnotts sale price. Just took two short phone calls (and much research haha).Last edited by Tar.Aldarion; 10-10-19, 10:28.

Working from home today. A bit nippy out. Great excuse to road test my new bioethanol fire insert!
After looking at a lot of solutions this one looks, sounds and heats the place exactly as I wanted without ash and minimal messing.

Some laugh with the rebel lads this morning.
They are camped outside my office but protesting another crowd.
Trying to manage a conf call with the shouts and screams was pointless, so happily havent done a tap all morningPeople say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

Kinda baffles me why we have multiple English names for the same phenomenon. I think I was here for a few years before I realised that cyclone = hurricane too.

Was laughing at my colleagues as they rushed around, locking everything down and making sure I was safely packed away to my five star hotel. Was not laughing six hours later as a massive fucking palm tree crashed into my window."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

We have one of these awful element heater fake fires in our living room, this looks like a huge upgrade for not that much outlay.

You can get cool modern looking ones that can stand out solo or be placed on a shelf etc but I wanted to work with what I already have. I had been looking at a 1200 electric job with steam fire effect and then the cost of putting it in. I picked up the ANYA and the ceramic logs delivered for ~350 with the fuel on top.

Actually, while on the subject of fires... we have a crappy open gas fire, which we never use as the heat output is terrible. Also not a fan of the open fireplace with the little dude toddling around, even though we never use it is a hazard.
Does anyone have a closed gas fire or gas stove in a fireplace, running off the home gas connection? Am not sure what the difference between the two would be, or am I confusing myself - just want a gas fire that is not open to the room but is as efficient as possible. Does anyone have something like this and if so, how does it compare to an open fire in your experience?

A small bit of research tells me the only difference between hurricane, typhoon and cyclone is the location of where it occurs.

Originally posted by V for Vendetta View PostIt’s as simple as that. The challenge for me was getting one to fit the existing fireplace as I didn't want to cut or damage it as it’s a lovely job. The ANYA unit fit exactly and with some ceramic wooden logs and by putting it in place of the fire basket it looks great.

Some of simple ones look great.
Were banned here for about 6 months, after a few people sets their place on fire by filling it when there was still lit. Apparently a small hard to see flame as its dying. Although probably just a few idiots too.Last edited by Mellor; 10-10-19, 13:14.
