    There was one Spanish geezer with what appeared to be a pint of lager with his breakfast when I was going up the shop for croissants.

    They don't give a **** the Spanish, fair play.

    Anyway, it's half one here now so be rude not to join in.

    @brb these were the Lidl ‘wagon wheel’ crisps I was on about.

    Best 85p you’ll ever spend <laugh>

    Anything after midday is good when on holiday, thought that was a written rule myself.

    While I try not to abide by a rule book where possible, it's usually 11am I aim for on holiday. Old school opening hours. Good enough for me.

    Mrs Chief had walked up to the nearest Lidl with my eldest so was conscious of not just cracking a can soon as they'd gone!

    They're back now though, so am ploughing on.

    It's just a completely different drink to the ****e brewed in Britain under licence.

    5.4% of pure delicious local brew. Goes down quick as you can't let it warm up of course.

    I always think after 11am - I still go by the old licensing hours: 11.30am - 3pm and 6.30pm - 11pm, but could adjust by one hour. Different times on Sundays (late opening/early closing).

    it’s the sit down don’t swear don’t smoke attitudes I also like a terrace so them days are gone and so am i

    I also swore never to put a penny into football after they discriminated against me and others over Covid entry demands which was a tragic bit of hypocrisy from the wry same sport which claims it’s against discrimination of any kind <laugh>

    fk football it’s dead for me

    Was under 4 euros for a bottle of vodka in Mercadona back in the glory days (2010/11). Probably not loads more now.

    Sad about Sinead O'Connor but the amount of coverage for someone with one song is crazy.

    Nothing compares to that song though.


    Really sad story. I assume it was suicide as she couldn’t cope with her son’s suicide.

    Prince is up there with James Brown, Jimmy Hendrix, David Bowie, John Lennon, Aretha Franklin and Nina Simone for me

    and I don’t me up there coz he’s dead.

    Singer, songwriter, composer, arranger, multi instrumentalist and all round innovator. The man oozed style and sophistication in a unique way. He had it all

    gone way too soon.

    And, I really should add, quite possibly the greatest lead guitar who ever lived.

    ****ing legend of a man.

    Way too soon.

    Think so. She's had a lot of mental health issues over the years and her son committing suicide did for her in the end I think.

    Very sad.

    Incredible bass player too

    Dunno if you've ever listened to any Morris Day and the Time. But that was a Prince project

    He played all of the instruments on this track btw
