indiana123 Posted May 31, 2023 #46403 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Men,!!!! or some of them., I give up. The girls will understand this one. Not far from here we have a lovely Country Pub with really nice food, and sauces and the desserts were mmm mmmm. Anyway after the surgery, I am still in some unconnected pain and losing a bit of weight might help the walking. So tonight I go to Fat Club (SW) for the first time, but it is at 5.30. I said to OH "What about dinner tonight" meaning it might be late or I can do the slow cooker. His reply was "Oh why don't I phone up that lovely pub and book us a table. You loved it there" GRRRR I am afraid my reply was a sarcastic tongue in cheek "No don't worry we can pick up a Big Mac and chips on the way home!" 🤣🤣😍 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Peterson Posted May 31, 2023 #46404 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Just had a delightful call from ‘O2’ offering me a wonderful new contract with a 30% discount. Always difficult, isn’t it - do you just end the call, or have you got time for a game? Plenty of time today, so one of my standard routines: ”Hi. I’m glad you called. I’ve got a special price on some double glazing units - would you like to buy some?” ”I’m sorry, I’m not sure about that. I’ll get my supervisor.” Gets supervisor. ”Hello. What is it that you have” “I’ve got a special price on some double glazing units - would you like to buy some?” ”What are they?” ”You are calling from the UK, aren’t you?” ”Oh yes, sir. Calling from the UK for O2.” ”You’ll know all about double glazing units then, won’t you?” ”Double glazing eunuchs?” It all got even sillier after this, until he finally put the phone down on me. And my wife explained that eunuchs in India are very common! But double glazed ones? 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip I think it is universally agreed that the vast majority of us hate ironing! A purely necessary evil if I don’t want to look like an unmade bed though. Still warm up here, 3 whole days of it! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of a phone call we got in the cabin once after we’d already gone to bed. ”Hello madam, did you order laminate?” ”Pardon, laminate?” Yes madam, this is room service, did you order laminate?” ”Laminate?” ”Yes madam, LEM-ON-ADE?” 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He read our orders back and said "Cardamom" to which she replied " No Peppercorn sauce". This went on for just over a minute where I intervened and said ,pointing to her hand .. "He's saying Card ma'am , he wants the cruise card your holding for payment "😕 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DamianG Posted June 1, 2023 #46410 Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) Last day in Gwynned, Cymer Abbey, Afon Mawddach riverside walk and Barmouth. This mini break has been such a refreshing change away from the city. The dogs have loved it as well and were absolutely shattered last night.

Same here in North Kent, thick white cloud again! I’m getting heartily fed up of weather forecasters saying ‘ another lovely sunny day’ It’s not here! My ‘social media’ memory tells me I was at Southampton this day in 2015 off to the Canaries! Take me back! Mind you in the photo I’m holding a strawberry daiquiri in my hand and it was overcast - I can still feel the cold glass in my hand! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a scour through Google Damian, and according to what I found you're half right. Quote - 'Meaning chosen one, prophetess, seeress. Vala is a feminine name of primarily German origin infused with mystical energy.' A lovely name with an interesting meaning. Avril 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caullkhead Posted June 1, 2023 #46422 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Sunny & less wind today. Just met my 2 friends for a long overdue coffee & charity shop rummage. We used to work together at the primary school & cruised with our Dh’s several times, first time since my friend started her chemo last sept we’ve all met up. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy1953 Posted June 2, 2023 #46423 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I have been watching the news and was interested to see that the results of the GRAIL trial have been released because I took part in this trial. My doctor had referred me for the trial because of my previous cancer history. I hope that the GRAIL test will be rolled out because in my case it it detected early signs of breast cancer and while I was upset that it was back again I had the cells removed under local anesthetic and am now having annual checks. My sister also took part in the trial but luckily she did not have any signs for any of the cancers that it detects. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we have stayed there as well. There used to be a model sailing ship on the table which is why we referred to it as the boat room. Beautiful area. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
