Captain Tom has died from covid. =(

I heard.
So sad :(

It is sad. May he rip.

Very sad. And worse for the fact that it was covid... His little messages of hope really struck me for some reason.

He did well though, 100 years old!

Really well. The news just showed a clip of him on Blankety Blank back in 1983. Quite amusing. =)

I am using my slow cooker again. This time lasagne in it. I wonder if it's ready yet because I was a bit late putting it in.

I didn't know he was on blankety blank!

Yum, lasagne.

Yeah I think that was about his only claim to fame before last year! Terry Wogan was giving him a grilling, it was funny and so old fashioned. =P

I can imagine!

What you up to np?

Digesting lots of pesto pasta and watching Big Bang Theory. =)

You?

Sounds good!

I'm watching traffic cops.

Any high speed chases?

Lots!

Is that all they do on there? o.o

Pretty much!
And chasing people on foot.

Through gardens and over fences? =P

Haha!
They don't tend to take shortcuts like that unfortunately :p

Shame. When people try to do that it doesn't usually end well anyway!

Very true!
Would be a lot more entertaining if they did though!

Definitely. I'm thinking Simon Pegg style =P

Edit: Needed to include clips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLYqbmFMVPM

How did I not notice he says 'what's the matter, never taken a shortcut before?' In both shaun of the dead AND hot fuzz?!
I've seen both films a million times!!!
And worlds end was filmed partly in the next town over from where I used to live. I nearly accidentally walked on set and the police stopped me

I've never noticed either! But I haven't watched either film for ages and ages so that's my excuse and I'm ashamed to say I haven't seen World's End yet. =/

That's pretty cool! You nearly got to be an extra. =D

I haven't watched shaun of the dead in ages but watched hot fuzz recently. It's my favourite of the trilogy!
Oh nooo! You must rectify this!!

I did! Stupid police, spoiling my fun as always :p

And that's why you need to learn to jump fences and sneak in without them seeing.

I shall practice!
Though I might end up looking a little suspicious >.>

You'll get better the more you practise though!

True!
Right. That's this weekend's plans sorted :p

Excellent. Video evidence of your training is required please. >.>

Of course!

Carers came early. Looks like I'll be asleep soon thanks to zopiclone (my last one!)

(You have no idea the amount of times I've tried to successfully post this without choosing a goddamn font colour, thanks, phone ryl)

Oh that's good! Sleep well.

Erf yes phone RYL is awful. I usually end up trying to bold everything I type.

Thank you. You too!

It's so annoying! But I'm too lazy to get my laptop out sooo....

Hope everyone's doing okay!

Morning everyone!

I have boiler guy coming in about 30 mins to fit a new boiler

Exciting!

Very!
They are running a bit late but it's not like I have anything else to do today! Apart from asda but I can do that later

Have you got work today np?

Morning everyone. I hope the boiler fitting doesn't take too long Beckie, it'll be worth it however long it takes though.

Hello everyone, how goes it? I took zopiclone and had a good sleep.
The weather here is urgh but luckily I have nowhere to go.

Morning lindsay and tamo

I think it's going to take a while! There's been a hiccup. I don't understand most of it but there's a gas pipe they need to get to that runs under the floor. And they didn't know about it. So they're going to have to run new pipes outside or something. I'm so glad they didn't come yesterday!

Glad you had a good sleep.
Weather isn't great here either

Oh no! Nightmare! Is there somewhere you can go while they do the work?

Not really. No coffee shops are open.
Could pop to asda but I wouldn't be able to put the shopping away because they're in the kitchen!

Could it go for a long walk? We had the door man this morning, we had slammed the door too often.

They don't have keys so if they needed to leave at any point, they wouldn't be able to lock the door. So I can't really leave.

I saw this and thought of this group :p
Attachment 23657

Hehe. It is one of the most often asked questions! Don't see anything wrong with it.

And yus I'm at work today. Run out of steam though, like a sort of pre-lunch energy slump.

Absolutely nothing wrong with it!

Ah that sucks. Will lunch give you anymore energy?

Yeah hopefully. Plus a break away is always helpful. Only half an hour to go!

Very true.
Not long to go!

Enjoy your lunch x

I can't access my lunch. The kitchen is currently in bits!

What are you having for lunch np and tamo?

Should have thought of that before Beckie and brought something out of the kitchen. How could you not put food first! :laugh:

I had a cheese and onion toastie for lunch.
