Did you ever see Cape Fear? Where Max Cady hides under the family’s car?

That’s what he’s like under your sofa.

Have you checked everywhere you store food?

We had a mouse that we weren't able to catch for a few weeks, he wouldn't touch cheese, bread, cakes, chocolate, etc. Turned out that he had discovered the biscuit basket where we store unopened biscuits and the cute fecker ripped a hole in the packet at the back and at the bottom of the pile. No wonder he wasn't hungry.

But once we knew where he was getting food, we could remove it and a day later we caught him in one of the traps.

Go Bruce Willis on his ass. Yippee Kiy Ah. Blast the whole house open. Worry about damage later.

Speaking of, they have made an ad with Bruce Willis as John McClane for car batteries They have lots of people from the first film in it so it could have been great. Could have...it is absolute tripe

Willis doesn't have to act the world weary, grumpy attitude anymore, he's like that all the time now.

He might be inside the sofa, a hole in the bottom maybe? even very small?

There is 2 tears in the bottom of the sofa so it is possible. Why oh why won't he just go in the trap and be released in the park. Housemates are suggesting the kill traps now and that will cause a bit of drama.

When you view a celeb as a Legend and they produce sh*te work in thier field of expertise.

Example- flicking through Netflix - clicked on most popular.
Watched 15:17 Paris.

Directed by Clint Eastwood it was crap. Crap dialogue and loads of filler.
Now every time I watch an Eastwood old Western or Dirty Harry. All I will think is Clint made 15:17 Paris. What a knob.

Ah, it's bound to happen after so many attempts at the directing game that Eastwood would pull out a turkey. He should be let off this once, he has enough good work under his belt to make up for it

I can't walk out my door without being exposed to covid droplets being coughed right outside. :mad:

Imagine the confusion when I was late for a family party because I was stuck in a packed tescos buying wine.

Quicly messaged my mother (pre smartphone and predictive text) what I thought was 'going to be late. Fcucking queue' but autocorrect sent 'going to be late. Fcucking Steve'.

Even worse was my mother replied 'who is Steve'?

Good one though..

American recipes. A half cup of this. A quarter cup of that. Pain in the hole googling the equivalent in grams. And I am not going out to the shop to look for these cup measurement things. Waste of time and money. Ufff......

According to an American friend the original intent was to simplify recipes as early cookbooks were inclined to say things like, "to a goodly amount of flour add a generous quantity of sugar". So long as you stick to the proportions all should be well.

Doing anything to avoid the reading I need to do for uni, I started to clear out a deep under-counter cupboard.

I come across a half dozen plastic Chinese food type containers with their lids. They are absolutely filthy(even by the standards of the ppl involved) some of them have their lid taped to them.

What kind of mind put away dirty(not just stained) food containers but ahead of this, tapes their dirty lids to them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Well they had a very aggressive civil war going on. The Irish Defence forces suffered casualties while trying to carry out "peacekeeping " duties.

Sat down with a cup of tea and I said to herself to throw me in a twirl. I opened it to my disgust of this miserable scrawny lenght of chocolate so I had to eat two to make up the difference

I always have 2 of a treat, minimum. It's usually more though. Everything is smaller now

My housemate's wonderment at how much chocolate "we're" getting through.

I don't eat chocolate.
