reavor posted:moved to the uk a few months ago. strange place. all this beautiful nature around but virtually no forest paths or ways to enjoy it. streets are so narrow yet everyone wants to drive, plumbing on the outside of houses and separate taps for hot and cold water. You've got the British aptitude for complaining down pat there, but you're clearly not trying hard enough to enjoy nature. Go romp through a forest/along a beach, you don't need a path (And if you do, as has been mentioned, go fine a nature reserve, they usually have maps at strategic intervals and well-defined paths.) If you don't like walking without a guidance system, try OS maps as you'll get good detail once you find where you want to go. Also, you could try googling 'best places to go walking in my area' and see what comes up...y'know, internet being quite handy for finding out information and all that jazz.

I'm a football widow for the evening, so I have curry, NCIS and a snoring dog. NaDy what's the difference between camping and wild camping? (this isn't the lead in to a joke, I'm actually curious)

I like people who leave biscuits out for me, makes wallpaper removal more bearable... Also I'm working hard, waiting for the damp cloth I ran over the paper to do its work. (hardest part already done, taking off the top layer of paper/paint) I haven't listened to it yet but I haven't seen anyone anything good about the new 007 song...should I assault my ears now or later, I mean it can't be much worse than the crappy ballad (not even good rocking power ballads) stuff my friend is playing whilst she works? I guess I could put party boat's run list on to counter it...hmm, am I that much of an arsehole? (no) Kluliss fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Sep 25, 2015 |

Good deed for the day done, found a stray dog and got him back to his owner. Celebrating with a coffee and a burning desire for more sleepy dog cuddles. Content: In Durham a dandelion was a pittle-le-bed, I liked to shuggy (swing) on tree branches, though it also got used in a similar way to 'shuggle' (to shake something relatively gently, such as sausages in a frying pan.) but I think that gets used in lots of places. Fingerless Gloves, you aren't the only one - pimps was a thing at my school too, figured it was only us though given I've never heard it anywhere else.

The Big Taff Man posted:Looks like me, Party Boat and Kluliss are having a big meet up at the Great North Run next year Sure, but I'll already be at the end waiting for you because I won't be running it. I'm still suffering from the 10k (I know they'll get easier) but I doubt I'll ever do a half. Except accidentally...but then I also said I'd never do anything stupid like cycle across Scotland, so it's possible that I will at some point have a brain fart and agree to it. Might have to wait until the shin-splints have gone away though :P

Jose posted:party boat why are people so incapable of using their indicators correctly at roundabouts on the way to morrisons Because there's a fad lately for not bothering with indicators...there's a roundabout at Earsdon (heading towards Monkseaton) where I grumpily watched 7 cars in a row turn right around the roundabout without bothering to indicate. The car at the head of the pack was a bloke driving a BMW though so I guess I shouldn't be surprised at all the idiots following him. Serious answer to your comment: Because Killingworth.

Also good because Party Boat took the banshee (otherwise known as Wraggler, a small dog) out for a walk before her yelling for food could damage my calm too much. I have also spent 30 minutes in traffic to go to a shop 3 miles away and buy plaster/angle beads. What fun is everyone else having today? I'm also happy because my fitbit says I've burned almost 300 calories so far today, and haven't eaten that many. I am celebrating by eating second breakfast before work.

My computer has started making a noise like an idling motorbike. I'm pretty sure it's not meant to be doing that... Percussive maintenance has made it stop, however I suspect it's a fan that's now not moving. Whoops.

So far she has proven immune to anything that goes in her mouth. **please note our dog is a total rear end when it comes to other dogs, and will chase/try to pretend she's bigger than she is/get grumpy/loud and also doesn't back down.
