Rude! Do you know how long you'll have to wait?

Cacoethes 19-09-2022 07:01 AM

Unfortunately the sweet potato lasagne is not vegan because it had cheese on it jenna!
Only 88p though!

Hope you managed to get some sleep tamo

Morning everyone!
It looks like adverts aren't being shown on tv today.
Which you'd think would be a good thing but even adverts would be better than staring at a frozen screen.

Pi.R^2 19-09-2022 09:09 AM

Good news for you though, as vegan cheese is nowhere near as nice as normal cheese!!
Morning! I saw the no adverts thing on Twitter- weird! If it’s a normal show then it seems unnecessary to cancel the adverts but not the show?

Cacoethes 19-09-2022 10:34 AM

I don't think i could go vegan. I like cheese. And milkshake! I do prefer the vegan sausage rolls to meat sausage rolls though!

Yes i agree!
Weird.

not_so_insig 19-09-2022 10:47 AM

Morning all.

It will disappear after Christmas. It always appears in the run up to Christmas, it replaces another channel.

My mum is obsessed with it. I’m sick of it already!

tamobhuuta 19-09-2022 11:45 AM

I don't plan to watch it again until closer to Christmas! It's just all that was on.

Cacoethes 19-09-2022 12:22 PM

I just thank god for my amazon fire stick!

I find this so intriguing and had to research - apparently it replaces a channel I've never heard of called "GREAT! movie classics"

Cacoethes 19-09-2022 12:49 PM

Ah i know Great!
They show some good movies occasionally. Not often, but occasionally.

Zurg 19-09-2022 12:53 PM

Ooohh, a Christmas movie Channel :D then they MUST show 'Die hard'!!!! Nothing says Christmas like Bruce Willis shooting people and blowing things up!!!!

I'm tired. If anyone has any kind of narcotics to rectify this, i shall be more than happy to be contacted….!!!

Cacoethes 19-09-2022 12:59 PM

I am also tired.
I'm afraid i have no narcotics! Or even coffee. I have diet coke though

one_step_closer 19-09-2022 02:40 PM

WAKEY WAKEY! Did that help with the tiredness at all? It was a really big shout.

Cacoethes 19-09-2022 02:45 PM

Haha! Sadly the exhaustion is too great!

All the trains are running on time.
Don't need to get the train for a couple of hours yet but thought I'd check as the trains have been a bit hit and miss lately!

one_step_closer 19-09-2022 02:47 PM

Oh, is this to go and see your friend?

I was worried for you when Finn told me this morning that the trains to where you're going were broken, but apparently it's just west going in that has the problem, phew!

Cacoethes 19-09-2022 03:08 PM

Yes lindsay. Gonna uber to st pancras at stupid o clock in the morning because it's only 30 mins from his. Probably should have booked a later eurostar but it was vastly more expensive to travel later!

Oh that's a relief!
Thankfully most underground lines are good service also. Apart from picadilly and Elizabeth line but that doesn't affect me

Pi.R^2 19-09-2022 03:25 PM

Sounds like you've got some awesome plans for when you're there; hope you have a great holiday :)

Cacoethes 19-09-2022 03:28 PM

Yep! I'm excited! Will be more excited when i actually get to st pancras tomorrow though. I'm really anxious that there will be an accident or roadworks or other traffic on the way there that will make me miss the eurostar! (Though the chances of that much traffic at 3am is unlikely!)

They are still not showing adverts on tv. It's weird

not_so_insig 19-09-2022 03:36 PM

I have been watching britbox which has no adverts instead of normal telly. So far I have watched an episode of Midsomer Murders and an episode of All Creatures Great and Small (the BBC version). As well as doing laundry and also had a shower.

Pi.R^2 19-09-2022 04:16 PM

By the sounds of it you always leave absolutely tonnes of time Beckie, so I'm pretty confident that you'll be fine!!

one_step_closer 19-09-2022 04:55 PM

I hope you have a good time with your friend, Beckie.

Well done with keeping yourself busy, Dawn. I'm glad you're finding distractions.

Cacoethes 19-09-2022 05:10 PM

I do always get places ridiculously early!

Thanks lindsay!

I'm on the underground now (well, most of this line is overground thankfully!) And I'm very bored of trains now. Lol

Pi.R^2 19-09-2022 05:12 PM

Sounds like you're nearly there Beckie; have fun with your friend :)
How are you Lindsay?

Cacoethes 19-09-2022 05:20 PM

Yeah not too far now!
Thank you!

Have you been up to much today jenna?

not_so_insig 19-09-2022 05:46 PM

Thanks Lindsay.

Working :( And making my friend send me fun messages for me to read after each task I do in order to motivate me, as not really feeling it today!

Zurg 19-09-2022 08:14 PM

I totally approve of that, Jenna!! When work or tasks are tedious and overwhelming, it helps to make someone else work too!!! And tbf, entertainmemt is entirely acceptable as a bribe for working!!!

How long have you been travelling on trains today, Beckie??? I find that much more than an hour makes me want to scream and tear my hair out!!!

Pi.R^2 19-09-2022 10:08 PM

How are you Zurg?

Cacoethes 20-09-2022 04:09 AM

Morning everyone!
I am at st pancras. The gate for eurostar doesn't open until 4:40 (train at 6:15) but i have a large coffee! There was a gaggle of police officers in starbucks.

Zurg 20-09-2022 10:28 AM

Woop, woop!!! Your mornings sounds more exciting than mine, Beckie.
I've spent an hour cleaning out my bun-bun's cage so essentially scooping up a huge amount of poop and pee ;)
Right now i'm taking a break before doing the same to the bird cages!!! It's kind of a shitty job….!!
I hope the train was on time!!!

one_step_closer 20-09-2022 11:19 AM

I hate cleaning my cat's litter trays. And he has thrown up this morning which is worse than cleaning poo.

I see you're in Amsterdam now, Beckie. Have a lovely time.

Cacoethes 20-09-2022 11:21 AM

Well that sounds fun zurg! :p

The train was on time! The eurostar generally is!

Yes i am here! Everywhere smells like weed XD
Thank you!

Oh nooo cat sick! D:

one_step_closer 20-09-2022 11:29 AM

Weed doesn't smell nice but you'll probably get used to it and not smell it all the time. Is there a time difference between us?

one_step_closer 20-09-2022 11:34 AM

Question: were you supposed to apply for the cost of living payment that's being given from today? I'm sure something I read said I wouldn't qualify with the benefits I'm on but that might have been something different. This one covers the disability benefits.

not_so_insig 20-09-2022 12:02 PM

If you're on pip Lindsay then it's paid automatically from today. Not everyone will get it today though. You don't have to apply.

Cacoethes 20-09-2022 12:03 PM

It's an hour ahead here. So it is currently 1:02pm!

No you don't have to apply for it. Unless it's different in Scotland.
If you're on DLA or PIP you'll get it

one_step_closer 20-09-2022 04:52 PM

Thank you both for explaining that.

What have you been getting up to so far, Beckie?

How are you feeling today, Dawn?

Cacoethes 20-09-2022 05:25 PM

I came to the hotel, paid for my room and dropped my bag off. Luckily the room was ready (it was 12pm and check in time was 3pm) so i sorted my stuff out and then went to the sqaure near the station for lunch before my tour. Just back to the hotel now! Don't think I'll be going out again. I'm shattered!


Have you been up to much?

not_so_insig 20-09-2022 05:32 PM

I am feeling a bit more positive today Lindsay. I had a mostly good cpn appointment today. Thanks for asking.

tamobhuuta 20-09-2022 06:29 PM

Sounds like you're having a good time Cacoethes.

I'm glad your appointment was OK insig.

Cacoethes 20-09-2022 06:59 PM

Yep!

Though one of the American ladies on the tour said she was going to London soon and asked if i preferred selfridges or harrods. Like, do i look like i can afford to shop in either of those places?? XD


How are you getting on tamo?

tamobhuuta 20-09-2022 07:28 PM

Lol

I'm exhausted because I got up at 8.30 for meds and breakfast.

Cacoethes 20-09-2022 07:50 PM

Hate it in hospital when they hassle you about meds and breakfast!
I'm usually awake by then anyway but it's still annoying!

I've been awake and mostly travelling since 3am so I'm gonna go to bed. I'm so exhausted!

Cacoethes 21-09-2022 07:09 AM

Morning everyone!

tamobhuuta 21-09-2022 10:08 AM

Morning Cacoethes, how are you?

Cacoethes 21-09-2022 11:44 AM

I'm good thanks!
At the Heineken tour! It's awesome!
And we get 2 pints of Heineken free. Plus a half so we could do the tasting test (like wine testing)
And i got a personalised bottle of Heineken!

How are you?

tamobhuuta 21-09-2022 11:51 AM

That's awesome! I am ok. My mum came to visit and brought me 'plain cake'. It's... plain. But nice!

What are you doing this afternoon?

Cacoethes 21-09-2022 12:09 PM

Yay for cake!

I'm going to the van gogh museum now! Then poets of the Fall concert tonight!

tamobhuuta 21-09-2022 12:46 PM

I don't know where you find the energy!

I've been going through Vogue. Normally I mark pages I particularly want to show people and go, "look how pretty that is" but this issue it's almost every page!
