  1. Jump is a magnificent bit of pop music, they knew exactly what they wanted to make and they made it as perfectly as anyone could.
  2. Almost finished season 1 of Utopia, got slated but quite enjoyable and a bit like Dirk Gently in a way. Finally got to watch the season finale of Walking Dead that has been held back for months and thought it was fucking gash. Without doing any spoilers the CGI they've said they were waiting for is that bad I think I could have done it in Blender in a week.
  3. On a different note a young lad at work won't have a microwave at home because "well, you know" and then a wink and a nod. Presume he's a fucking moon mon.
  4. The Red Dwarf thing is summat they stole, it used to be known as the many worlds theory and is proper science but might go by a different name these days.
  5. That What Are The Odds was a decent drink, you'd probably only want 2 or 3 of them though taste wise. Any road definitely having 7 days off from today and then take it from there, this 4 stone doesn't seem to want to just magically disappear so have to crack on.
  6. I misread that and used teaspoons which was probably for the best looking at it.
  7. Recipe I used is here: https://www.bestrecipes.com.au/recipes/cottage-cheese-loaf/8bwkfppw Didn't have fresh sage so used dried mixed herbs instead, was even better the day after so would recommend leaving it over night.
  8. That makes more sense, hers seemed to just go off and say nowt else.
  9. This app thing, was in the car with the eldest daughter when hers went off and gave her a warning of potential exposure. That was it, didn't say where, didn't say when, didn't say for how long, didn't say anything else at all and hasn't said anything since. She'd only been at home and with me at work for 2 days and nowhere else at all, there were no pedestrians about so at a stretch it could have been someone in the car in front? What's someone supposed to do with so little info from the app?
  10. Only need 27 more of them are we're up as champions, piece of piss.
  11. Slightly drifting towards mumsnet territory, tried a new recipe today. Basically cottage cheese, marmite, and porridge oats mixed together with a couple of eggs and baked like a cake. Taste sensation.
  12. Rolled the only superstitious dice I have left and haven't put one of my jinx bets on. Evatt implied it almost came to blows in the dressing room last week, maybe that's been a big factor in the selection.
  13. If he's sold then he might also have bought, have you asked on all the groups etc to see if anyone has his definite address ?
  14. Last night I got a Scafell, a Shoop, a Green Curve Kveik, a What Are The Odds, and the compulsory Katys. The Shoop tasted rank even though it was ok last week so it put me off the rest. Apart from some of the Katy and a bottle of wine that is. Leaves me being able to try the rest watching the game so worked out fine.
  15. Forgot to add as well although you will know this, don't think of them as apprenticeships like we used to know because most aren't. They're in for a year on the lowest level and it doesn't guarantee continuation at the same workplace on the next level. We've had some at work over the past few years (IT related) and only 1 of them started the next level apprenticeship and he packed it in to go to uni, encouraged all the way by us. We had one other who was good and is now doing well somewhere now but the others didn't last the year. Mate who has them in engineering roles says they go through that many it's unbelievable but that might be because of their place as much as the kids. Runshaw do a lot of vocational courses at BTEC level 3 as well as A levels and shit. My eldest daughter didn't want to do A levels and is doing one and has had to do work experience as a big part of the course so there's all sorts of options.
  16. Think some of my eldest's mates who were going to do higher level apprenticeships at BAE got let down this year very late on so I'm not sure what's going on with them. Especially with you living in Chorley check vacancies for apprenticeships at Runshaw, think they do the lower level ones and sort out the placements etc.
  17. In an ideal world. If you make a law that there are exemptions to then you have to sort something out that enables folk to be legally exempt, like the blue badge scheme for example. It's a totally obvious thing to do so I can't get why it wasn't done as part of the whole approach. Apart from incompetence which would completely explain it.
  18. Yup, you've still got to deal with it though and you've no control on them reporting you to xyz or in these times ripping you a new arsehole on social media or review sites.
  19. One of my mate's shops, person without a mask, asked to put one on, refused because said was exempt, asked for exemption card, refused to show one, waited outside for his stuff, and then reported them to the council. Half hour later someone from HSE/council rang up questioning covid policies in store. It's law to wear a mask in shops but if you look into it anyone can say they are exempt AND the government guidance is that people saying they are exempt shouldn't be routinely asked for proof of exemption (which doesn't actually exist because you decide yourself). So in reality it's law but only if you choose to follow it. Load of shit.
  20. Used to know the lass who runs it and her sister when we were younger, both nice girls back then. Did think about trying to cop off with one of em once, could have been a pie millionaire if I'd gone through with it. They are pie millionaires by now you reckon ?
  21. If you had to recommend a few for tonight that could be bought from any of the local supermarkets what would it be? I could do with trying summat different before pretending to have a break again.
  22. Did see that the UK dogging community looked to be making an effort, face masks and gloves being worn. Almost bought a tear to my (japs) eye. Ahem.
  23. Students are in for around 9.25k for fees and a year contract for digs they can't get out of for around 5k. They would have never gone in if the cash till wasn't ringing.
