You can’t leave this lot alone for ten minutes, Tracey.
Our interests and opinions are many and varied, which in turn leads to lots of lively discussions.
Sue, if you come here via the use of a tablet or laptop, can I suggest you find your way around I player and the equivalents? This Great Grandma and vintage insomniac has whiled away many an hour in the middle of the night watching some quite interesting programmes when let down by free view tv
This lot? This lot??? Who is at the heart of lots of this mayhem? It’s not all Mick, Grandma, Tippy and me you know!!!
Looking back throughout today’s posts, I see a certain Renaissance painter figures quite prominently.

That’s me busted.
I do have an iPad. And could quite easily watch the iplayer, etc. In fact Mr Gadget has installed something called SkyQ. And that means I can watch whatever I like in real time or recorded. But for some reason I just don’t. I gave up watching TV once I found I was incapable of remembering the plot of any TV series’ that I’d like.
I don’t miss it a bit.
Sue
I can remember fondly, watching 100 episodes back to back (over a few days) of Breaking Bad. I was stuck in hospital & if I could have jumped out of the window (although I was on the bottom floor) I would have done. It’s the last series of that magnitude I have watched, but thank God for the old tablet, without it I would have gone bonkers. Unfortunately, like Sue, I have the attention span of a gnat & my epic tv watching is no more. I did attempt Peaky Blinders, I missed a lot of the plot, but Thomas Shelby was very pleasing to the eye so to speak, so bugger the storyline I enjoyed looking at the pictures. xx
Hi your comment about climbing out of the window reminded me of the silliest book I have ever read called The one hundred year old man who climbed out of the window and ran away. Yes that is the title! Not the type of book I would normally read but it was on offer for my kindle and as it had such good reviews I decided to read it. It was really silly but it did make me laugh a bit like brain fog!
Hello all, tried to catch up but got lost (how very unusual). The marvellous Freesat machine is more useful to me than the invention of sliced bread. I record many programmes over a 24hour period, watch whatever I fancy when convenient to me, rewind if my vision is distracted & I miss the audio, watch again. Fast forward through the ads. On occasion I’ll eat sticky toffee pudding whilst watching tv, which I’ve proved is fork mashable.

hi haven’t been here for a while and when picking up where i left off, i started with lots to stay but now i’m bamboozled. for those of you who can’t follow the plots of tv dramas, i suggest ‘Girlfriends’. a good cast and easy to follow. guess what i’m drinking - not beer, not wine, not gin, tea or coffee - i’m drinking hot ribena! argh! this must be put right very soon. xx
It’s got to be coffee time …
I read it and quite liked it. Not that I remember a thing about it apart from the old man and the window thing. I and have a vague feeling he went travelling round the U.K. but I might be wrong about that!
Sue
Hot Ribena for me please, hot Ribena always helps to ease or prevent colds & sore throats.
Now where have I put my cuppa? Did I make it or just put the kettle on? It’ll turn up.
This will confuse some of you. My OHs daughter came round last night and brought two gifts. 1. A box of white chocolates (yuck, but Mr Sssue loves the stuff), plus 2. A bottle of cocoa gin. Both from Hotel Chocolat. Which apparently can be drunk over ice or with a splash of tonic. We have no means of tasting right now as we have no freezer (new one being delivered later today).
I will report on the cocoa gin when freezing things like ice becomes possible again. I will not be reporting on white chocolate.

the old man who climbed out of the window and disappeared didn’t only travel all over the uk but he met some notable historical figures, einstein and famous politicians, including some infamous nasty nazis. i’d read it again but i gave it to someone. brilliant book which is also a film. my very favourite is the secret life of bees, which is also a film starring aleysha keys. i’m having withdrawal from reading at the moment cos my kindle wouldn’t charge up.
White chocolate is a contradiction. A box of white chocolate is fancy Milky Bar for grown-ups. Chocolate should be brown, preferably dark. I have some Green & Black Velvet Edition dark chocolate in the fridge. I’ve set myself a challenge to see how close i can get to the best before date (October 2018) before I open it.

Bloody hell Sue, think you & I were separated at birth (cept I’m a tad older). White chocolate is disgusting. It does not resemble or taste like chocolate at all & leaves a nasty residue on the roof of your mouth. Totally banned. I cannot even come up with any inappropriate uses for it, smells funny as well. The milky bar kid is welcome to it. xx

I’m confused, what’s new?
In a Nutshell … Directly from The NutCase Anon Newspaper: Headlines include;
“Milky bar kid banned” , Milk Tray Man Vacancy" “Hot Ribena to replace Milk Monitors” "Gin Palace shares value down & l’hotel chocolat stock market boom.
No Chrissie, Gin shares will never be down, we all do our best to keep them up, I’m always sharing mine. The milky bar kid was never going to be accepted peddling that concoction & hot ribena is odd (yes Carole, much as I love you your odd) Milk tray man has fell off a roof, hence the vacancy, silly man. The NutCase Anon Newspaper will be having a libel case on it’s hands, Gin shares down indeed. xx
Ooh I say. You might need to eat that G&B before Summer CD. Chocolate is always better in winter.
