    Urghhh its like ghostbusters ii and i am vigo

    Which is oddly ironic as i am marathoning the US version of ghosts. The UK version is some warm fuzzies but the US is straight up unhinged and i am here for it.

      the new chuck portrait? 😬

      I actually love it. It’s like two portraits in one, a portrait of Britain and all it’s blood soaked history and a portrait of Charles, a man living in the now trying to make a new history and his history.

        Nah just brushing up on server 2016 and GPO. Will be doing az900 after this.

        I’ve been around since dos 4.0 so this stuff isn’t too difficult, it’s just practice really. The underlying systems I understand.

          Same stuff, different platform. Dos 3.1 checking in 🤣

          Az900 is pretty easy, you’ll ace it. It’s a memory game.

            Daaaaamn and I thought dos 4 was old school lol. Don’t miss editing autoexec.bat and config.sys to get stuff working.

            Glad to hear az900 is straight forward!

    It’s bin day and we’re waiting for the pick up. Elderly neighbour was out and on his way back home reversed into his bins, knocking them over and spilling a bit of crap on the nature strip and footpath.

    Did he notice? Absolutely not.

    Did he go out and pick it up? No chance.

    Did I do the right thing, rush out and tidy up as the rubbish truck was at the top of our street? Yes, but was grumbling the entire time.

    My biggest issue was that it took the rubbish truck a few minutes to do it’s round. Not long enough for me to back inside, but just too long to stand outside waiting andlooking like an impatient resident that is totally judging the truck driver’s performance.

      I clean up, whenever I haven’t I’m just bothered by litter around my street until the council monthly sweeper comes through.

        I like it when my street is clean. If there’s any rubbish around after the truck comes past, I’ll pick it up and put in my bin. This was more that neighbours’ bins wouldn’t have been picked up if knocked over.

      might be worth putting a letter in the mailbox or something. Or if its a continued pattern of behavior report 'em. Today its the bin, Tomorrow could be a kid on a bike.

        Good idea with the letter. Hitting the bins wasn’t my main concert. Shit happens at slow speed. Not noticing that he did it was the alarm bells.

      I can relate to this.

      Sometimes my back is so sore I can’t bend over to pick things up. I just look at them. If it’s at home I wait until I can pick it up but somewhere else, I will try my best but if I can’t I can’t.

      It’s commendable that you took the initiative to tidy up despite feeling frustrated about the situation. Sometimes being a good neighbor means going the extra mile, even when it’s inconvenient. Your actions likely helped prevent any further mess and ensured that the neighborhood stayed clean. As for the timing with the rubbish truck, it’s understandable to feel a bit awkward waiting outside, but your efforts to assist likely didn’t go unnoticed. Perhaps next time, your neighbor will be more mindful of their surroundings, but until then, your willingness to lend a hand speaks volumes about your character. https://iqratechnology.com/academy/

    god I want that KFC snack pack for lunch, but 6 nugs PLUS popcorn chicken and chips is way too much to tackle solo.

    I saw a kitty litter box with enter and exit doors and I wondered if kitty would care if it accidentally Dutch ovened it self.

    Preeeeeety sure the mrs car needs a new clutch. Pretty sure it needed a new one when we brought it, but SOMEONE (who shall remain nameless) living out his little Evo-driver-fuckboi fantasies in it cant be helping. She’s gonna make me pay for this.

    Unbelievably, I made the shepherd’s pie! The texture didn’t really come out how I thought it would, though I think that’s because maybe I used this brand of tinned jackfruit that I honestly never should use again, too much of the tough core and not enough flesh.

    However, the umami/flavour is out of this world. Lots of it would be from the tomato paste, dried mushrooms and soy sauce, but I think the coffee definitely added a certain something to it too… must try again with some tweaks.

    Maybe I’ll make a spag bol sauce on the weekend with the remaining tomato paste and tvp mince, and see if the coffee trick works again 🤔 ☕ 😋

      I am so intrigued. I made a cottage pie this week with some chicken and mushrooms as the base and then the usual vegies like carrots and peas and celery. Mashed taters on top of course. I used a vegie stock cube for some gravy.

      It’s a great hot meal for a cold night. I have mine with melted butter on top of the taters. 🤤😋😋
