I can barely get two in one hand, let alone squeeze them

But dayum - how do they shell walnuts and get them into halves??


If you ever find out, let us know. We have a walnut tree and a good crop most years, but only ever eat one or two because they are impossible to get into without destroying the entire thing.


I don't mind them being in bits ...

Doctor then physio then home (well, a fair gap for coffee and sitting in the cooler air up the mountain :) )

Then I came home and did some stuff then grabbed a huge bowl of walnuts (well, a plastic thingy that used to have abricots in !! ) only cos I bought a nut cracker on the way home (with some ...

Didn't realise he's so close to my BDad's family - had plans to include that area next time I head to the UK

It's your fault. The F.U.F. went ahead of you

I will be telling him to send me back the FUF crown cos it's doing him to good!!!!

Re-sit tomorrow - Had some more training yesterday, ran the Mod 1 3 times with no real issues, must have done about 30 u-turns. Woke up at 3am this morning bricking it re-running u-turns in my head and had to chill out in front of the TV for an hour


This may sound daft, but bear with me. Kind ...

Should have been two goals too

Fucking hell. Heal well Skub - this sounds nasty AF.

Oh, and dibs on the bikes, seeing as nobody else has yet 😉

I heard there'd been an accident and it was a bloke from that direction but I didn't put two and two together. We've probably been attending the same events, but I don't actually know him IRL ...

This is pish. That goal stands

Except me - I think he’s a crooked c**t

Pretty sure Argentina has a twelfth player, in black

I tried so damn hard to stay awake for this but after everything yesterday I failed!! :lol: Now I'm a bit gutted :( - might even have to find it on iPlayer :o



Both countries playing their B teams.


I always thought the B team was the second team, but after seeing the score and all the ...

Big Yin said that they'd seen a shift from scooters (CBT, tax, insurance, etc) to e-bikes.l*

I'd guess that toughening of CBT etc (which I agree with) would increase that shit.

I would far rather wait a bit that get the wrong thing!
