If Russia and the US might form an alliance to carve up Europe, which country would you rather become a part of? It says a lot for me that the answer needs some thought.
You can also have a go at being part of China if you prefer. I for one welcome whichever autocrat gets this slice of the pie. It's not like it's a very tasty slice to be fair.
Living in (relative) peacetime has been kinda cool, but you know, nice to get a bit of war in before I go. Maybe just before I go.
Just need to work out which country is going to win and throw myself firmly behind them. Farage chose Russia ages ago (by which I mean he was on Russia Today and nothing more than that obvs). Will the gamble pay off?
Another day of no work today, but I did do a good work out at the gym and pick the kids up from school, so come on - what more do you want? I had to go back to the chemist to pick my blood pressure pills up. For some reason there is a system in place where they don't automatically renew the prescription for a while - I suppose it's to check that you still need it. But they never check that. You just run out of pills and find there are no more in the pharmacy for you and have to go to the doctors to ask them to renew it, which they immediately do. Thatcher's Britain.
I had been told yesterday that they should be in store this afternoon, so popped down. When I entered the chemist a very loud alarm was going off and the chemists were all rushing around trying to stop it, but nothing was working. They gamely got me my pills in spite of the almost unbearable noise. It had only been going on for a couple of minutes when I arrived and I was there for maybe three more minutes, but I was glad to get out. I hope the women in the chemist managed to sort it out as I would not liked to have spent the rest of the working day in there.
This is what happens when you don't have my pills ready when I need them.
I am going to have to go back to work soon though, as I've had a terrible run of luck/bad judgement with the poker this week and I don't think I won a single game today. My riches are disappearing before my eyes.
Never gamble kids.
Poker is skill, not gambling.
Never play a game you're not very skilled at kids.
More news on the recent Hitchin graves
Rob says of the grave with the picture of a car on it
"According to Google Lens: "The vehicle pictured is a first-generation Hyundai Tiburon, also known as the Hyundai Coupé in Europe. It was produced by Hyundai from 1996 to 2001" so Joe wouldn't have known anything about it and Bridget could only have driven it for the last 2 years of her life."
Maybe it’s like when you buy a photoframe with a picture already in it and choose to display that. The mystery deepens.
And on the disappearance of Alma Villa mystery Leonie notes "I found the Todd family on the 1901 census, which lists them living at 45 Old Park Road in Hitchin. On the 1891, they're living at 48 Old Park Road and on the 1881, their abode is listed as Alma Villa without a number mentioned. Some census takers were sometimes too lazy to include accurate information. I've seen loads of examples of it!"
Will we ever know the truth? And does anyone really care?
I have to say that the clip of timkey and me talking rubbish made me cry with laughter. I pretty much forget everything that happens in these the minute they're done, so it's all new to me.
