Wife wants to spend £100 on a fucking pillow.

I spent that on a Tempur one.

 

[DaGaffer]

You'd puke at the cost of bedding and mattresses we've spent over the past few months.

I mean, I nearly puke at it

Ah, you spend a third of your life there, worth it. We're finally getting our bedroom sorted next week (there's a guy here right now ripping out the old wardrobes) and yes, it's eye-wateringly expensive, but both our kids have better bedrooms than we do.

As for 100 quid pillows... I've spent a shitload more than that over the years on cheap ones that were junk in a year, and then when I worked for a department store I could get staff discount at 50% so went super expensive. Never looked back. And even though I don't have access to that lovely staff discount any more, I'll always pay top dollah for pillows (and mattresses).

 

[Embattle]

People really underestimate the value of being comfortable while sleeping.

 

[Scouse]

100%.

Thank fuck for the "black friday" 35% off or I'd be crying. I've already paid a fortune for two others (I don't want any plastics in my house and 100% wool (or thereabouts) mattresses are farkhing expensive.

Having flu. Actual flu, which I don't think I've ever had before. I feel like stomped on shite.

I've got a sore throat, blocked nose and starting to get shivers.

I think I'm about to join you.

Do yourself a favour, get LED lighting in before it gets built. I've been DIYing my wardrobes and shelves, I have an LED controller and two strips. The carpet is fucked btw and will be sorted.



I bought a WLED system from here - Candeo – Enlighten Your Smart Home - Candeo - I like it so much I'm buying more for around the house.

Nice @Tom.

Got hit with that last year, was so awful it convinced me that flu jabs are worthwhile.

Yeah, the doc literally said to me "why didn't you get the flu vaccine?" Thanks Doc. Helpful. But I will next year.

Can you just rock up to a pharmacy and ask for it?

It's too fucking late now!

 

[Raven]

Had actual flu a few years ago, it does not fuck about.

 

[Scouse]

It's too fucking late now!

Turns out if you interact with over 50 poultry for your work you probably should get it - because the risk of flu + contracting bird flu is deadly.

I'd better slaughter my animals!

 

[Overdriven]

Gave myself whiplash.

Woke up on my stomach, arms above my head, head facing one way - Baby made a sound and I turned my head too fast - Neck popped.

Couldn't move my head.

Managed to force myself out of bed (10/10 pain) and call 111..

"Take some pain meds, unless you die or it gets worse... Good luck"

Sigh. Also I pulled a long ass fucking grey hair from my nose.

Fucking week.

Welcome to the old man club, I do my nose hairs once a month and end up filling the green wheelie bin

 

[Raven]

Got hair on my ears now ffs, I pluck.

Man, some people are never happy. One of my mods on Steam has some AI portraits that I put in because I didn't have anything else. They're OK. Some people like them, some people are super vocal that they hate them. Fair enough. I'm replacing them with assets from another game in the same series. Now people are saying the writing is AI too. People seeing AI ghosts everywhere. AI didn't even exist when I wrote that stuff years ago.

 

[Ormorof]

You wrote slop before it was cool? 😀

The artisan term is pulp. My writing is bad, I don't deny that, but it's not AI. Also, it's for a fictional Brotherhood of Steel chapter. It's maybe 200 words at a time. It doesn't need to Dickens or Dostoevsky.

 

[Scouse]

Have a look at this. It's old George, so worth a watch, however...

...I'm not sure about our non-UK members, but when did youtube start inserting information about "abortion health information" under comedy videos?

How fucking far is the religious right getting? Success to success I guess.

Our Simba mattress and accompanying pillows are fucking l33t, such a comfy night's sleep - like a posh hotel bed with the addition of a mental cat that attacks you at 3 in the morning.

Bloody expensive tho, think it was around 2k. Weighs a bloody ton as well, 3 person job to flip it.

Just to remember. The po-po:

Deceiving women into sexual relations ‘part of work’ for spycops, inquiry told

Whistleblower says senior managers did not forbid intimate relationships and advised him to use condoms

www.theguardian.com

The state deceiving women into having sex "was regarded by officers and management alike as part of the work”. Relationships lasting up to six years.

We would not have had an enquiry into it unless a whistleblower had said we'd put the family of Stephen Lawrence under secret surveillance.

"139 undercover officers ... spied on tens of thousands of activists between 1968 and 2010"

Some of them fathered children whilst spying for the state.

Jesus christ, might be time to fuckoff to North Korea for a year long trip to get used to what is to become of Great Shitain/United Shitdom.
