    All good plans involve duct tape at some point.

    Further to my own TA I want to text back my friend as we were having an interesting chat about a mutual interest, but my mind just trailed off...I think it's because my brains already oversubscribed. Too much to do, too many people to get back to, and I fear not giving a good response so I delay my response altogether, but of course that ruins the flow. The mood to be talkative and lively is so fickle with me.

    Last and only time I gave in to the feeling of being obliged to text back 'll the time I was just saying anything for the sake of it when I didn't have time to think creatively. Sometimes I'm very switched on and sometimes I need to focus on work or whatever else. I'd love to be able to stay in that easy chatty mood at all times.

    Ps. His eyebrow wriggle after he rips open the tape. *phwoar...

    Almond milk, is not milk.
    Vegan cheese, is not cheese
    Vegan chicken, is not chicken

    Cleansing milk? It's not milk, either, but nobody gets offended by it.

    40% of our Halloween trick or treat callers said "thank you"......the parents standing behind the others never reminded the kids to say "thank you".

    One kid said that he didn't like any of our selection of treats so didn't take anything. (Fool, he could have swapped them with his brother when he got home for something else).

    One kid examined our treats to see if they were Gluten Free.....genuinely happened.

    A couple of cars sped down our road at speed....even with all the kids running about....

    They kind of are all different forms of milk, other than dairy milk. I mean there's goats and ewes and pigs and monkeys and giraffes milk ...and there's fruit cheese...not cheddar with fruit, just a block of solidified sort of puree fruit. Chicken can only mean one thing, though.

    TA I've given my phone a doing recently. I dropped it today and the SIM is not working. I nearly cooked it the other night. Amazingly it powered down to save itself and works perfectly but I was very TA with myself, esp. after making a post about people being liabilities and disregarding basic safety and common sense. I could've burnt the house down as well as ruined the phone.

    I had one of those 'impossible' burgers recently. Not meat, not impossible to believe it's not meat, but very, very good. Amazingly good, actually. I'd have them all the time instead of the meat ones given the choice.

    Anyway, I'm not annoyed about it or anything so ignore me. :P

    One year a kid who was 4 or 5 knocked in and I didn't have the stuff out yet so I asked him to wait for 1 second while I went into the kitchen and straight away he answered 'ok, one!' :pac: made me laugh :)

    Another road related TA: when you are merging onto a motorway from a junction and a driver in the left lane doesn't move into the fast-lane to make room for you to seemlessly enter, particularly when the fast lane is clear.

    Some asshole done this to me earlier. Grrrrr

    At least you have an excuse, my ex says things like "Go back there to The Eagles Alexa girl" and then gets annoyed when she cant understand him .🙄

    Hahaha. I just tried that, and Alexa started playing I Can’t Tell You Why by the Eagles. So, I guess it’s not all bad.

    Hmmmm. New TA - I’m so bored. Hate being sick.

    Looking at the tax and p&p on something I bought online, I'll bet its not much cheaper than buying it locally.

    TA, a tenner I won't get back gone on sunderies.

    Took the butter out of the fridge to soften a bit while I was heating soup and making toast. Just opened the lid to butter my toast and it was empty.

    Working at a amateur film screening event yesterday where people come by my monitor station which is 3 monitors, 3 Windows 10 laptops, mice and pairs of headphones, the crowd there submit usbs to me containing the short film they want to screen, and I add to the playlist which are played on a loop, all going great most of the day. Screenings went on from 9.30 until about 1.30.

    Chap comes up to me with a flash drive with his film on it, and says it's formatted for Mac's only, meaning I can't access what's on the drive, and I didn't have a lot of time to get his films on the laptops, there was maybe 15-20 mins left if I was lucky
    F**k sakes (I says in my head) and I have to go hunt now for one of my colleagues who has the only Macbook we brought to the event, boot it down the 4 flights of stairs to a theatre like place where my colleague was stationed, asked to borrow the Macbook to do something, was going to email the footage to myself, but the colleague had a flash drive that wasn't formatted for Macbooks, so transferred the files from one to the other.

    Macbooks take f**king ages to transfer, looking at the clock stuck for time, they weren't massive files, still took ages, boot it back up the stairs, plug in the USB, transfer his frigging films, only had enough time to do one laptop, then my boss moves everyone downstairs so nobody at the event saw whatever this guy made then. Should have came to me earlier, and f**k Macbooks and Mac Formatted flash drives.

    Pain in the arse.

    Ok. Today’s TA is that you can’t do Italics and stuff on the Touch Site on boards without manually putting in the HTML code. Also, my ears are blocked and every key touch on the phone sounds painful. I should probably stop touching keys. But I’m so bored!!!

    Similar with us along the curb outside our house. They park in the middle of the curbed area so only one car can park there instead of shoving over to their own side and leaving enough space for two cars. Think the previous occupants of our house only had one car so they got used to having the curbed area all to themselves. Very selfish.

    Can you warn them that you will get them towed as they are actually on your property?
