Off Topic Things that aren't worth a new thread ...

Came today with two airbrushes.
Nice bit of kit and better in the flesh than in the pics .

 

Can't go wrong with that compressor mate.
Get some plastic spoons to practice on.

 

This just 'popped up' somewhere
Some of the '73 Cup side (shortly before the cup final) with The Faces @ Locarno . . . . 51+ years ago !

 

Heading down to Bedale next weekend for the Saturday and staying over, hoping to catch our match when I am down there. Anyone been for a day / night out down there recently ? Me the wife and another couple for our yearly Xmas piss up

 

Good luck finding a night out in Bedale after the pubs are shut.

 

Its a day out, food and drink, we will be there for 12. We will probably be tucked up in bed spangled by 9pm

 

Magic radio went 100% Christmas today
WTF
It's still November - bah humbug!

 

I really have to avoid it all, until Christmas Week ...

... or it spoils it for me.

 

I keep having to check the date to make sure it's not mid-December or something.

Anyone having to share their glasses of red wine with a little black fly? Any tips?

If I catch the bugger it'll be a snack

 

Lads, I've got a confession to make, and it's all a bit embarrassing.

We've got our Christmas tree up .

As some know I wrap the whole thing up in cling film and put in the attic, then the following year just bring it down, cut the cling film off and that's it, it's done.

Well, last year we gave it to our daughter as she didn't have one, and thought it would save her buying one.

On Sunday the Mrs said she wanted one this year, so we bought a snow covered one, £30 from argos. Got it home and quickly set it up, just to see what it looked like, and she wanted to decide what colour baubles to put on (i persuaded her that red would look best). No sooner said, she was off to b&m and came back with baubles. Yep, she wanted it set up.
Baubles and tinsel on, I thought bollocks if I'm wrapping it up and climbing in the loft with it, just to get it down again in a couple of weeks.
So it's stayed up, sorry lads (Hangs head in shame).

Anyway, here's a picture of the offending tree. It's very Red and White though.

 

Nowt to be embarrassed about. Our tree is partially up.
Still, reminds me of the joke.
I went to buy a Christmas tree the other day. The person serving me asked “are you putting it up yourself?” I replied, a little bit shocked, “no, I was thinking of the living room actually”.

 

The good thing is, that's the one and only time it'll ever get decorated. That's it now, it'll stay like that till it drops to bits.
Which being from Argos, might be Tuesday.

 

It is not Xmas until we hear Noddy Holder telling us that it is. End of.

 

That above and the first sight of the Coca Cola lorry

 

Those curtains aren't red & white, mind, Snaggey

 

Gold Radio have done the same, bonkers isn't it.

 

They're not black and white either.

 

I wonder why they do it, surely it doesn’t attract more listeners …

… and some people will turn off to avoid it.
