Went to the animal park & aquarium today. Some pics:

Some unedited photos from a weekend road trip a few weeks back, idk how to make the vertical ones rotate

I think it would be weird to date an identical twin, that's for sure. Like, you'd just sound so fake saying "nah, I'm not even slightly attracted to your sister".

Haven’t been drinking mate no time! Haha I have dropped a day a week from work this term and it’s the best thing I’ve done so far. I get to see so much more by just having that bit of extra time off. Contemplating taking more time off or even changing roles/jobs as my priorities have massively changed. One day let’s have a pint together for real John

So.... late on the 24th of February I joined the parenting club. Thought maybe we could have a thread offering advice/crying/rejoicing or letting off steam

It's very decent. David Cronenberg made a trilogy of films with Viggo Mortensen in a staring role. A history of violence, while pretty damn good, is probably the worst of them. Check out Eastern Promises and A Dangerous Method.

It takes me back to SA seeing this Slightly tamer!

That lion. Epic.

Don't bother with AC then, it's barely playable with a controller... ACC should be better, but bear in mind that it'll be only GT3 cars on Blancpain series tracks only!

Only have a controller at the moment. Wouldn't mind getting a decent wheel in the near-ish future though. I remember playing rfactor with keyboard. And when I switched to wheel, I actually got worse.

Yeah I’ve been watching it as well. I like how things are progressing, it’s enjoyable so far. Kate Winslet & Evan Peters are both very very good in this.

She’s definitely tighter than you.

Uh oh, sounds ominous...

British government and French fishermen now engaging in passive aggressive posturing around Jersey following changes to post-Brexit fishing allowances. I don't think it'll develop into anything of real significance but it does highlight what a successful peace project the European Union has been for the past few decades.

Just been looking at all my book collection and found this beauty buried under a pile of books in a drawer, I picked this up in a charity shop about 10 years ago, a Robert Burns address book but it also has a Chronology of the great Scottish poet plus a lot of his poems, will have to read this again tonight in bed.

I agree. My one touch passing was sublime.

I have an immediate family member who is an identical twin. Stop being rude you bratwurst.

Yea, I know. Those are alright. I once saw a lady who had two identical teenage daughters. Creeped me out.

Have cousins who are twins and its not so bad really once you get used to it.

Late congrats @Toinho. To you and your partner. Twins is an incredibly awesome thing.

Just hang in tight buddy, as the years roll on you will see the wee bundles of joy, crawl, stand up, walk, and say dada, mumma, have egg tossed in your face when they are sitting in a high chair eating, crying as their first teeth are showing (teathing), potty training with no more fried sausages in nappies then later on in years... I could go on forever and now me and the wife have 2 grown-up's son & daughter with 3 grandsons to boot, enjoy life and have a pint on me.

Boss: We have no mops in the store Employee: No problem I'll just get the gator I have in my trunk give me a second

That beaver statue in the back is amazed as well look at the size of its eyes lol.

When "young" De Niro throws his gun in the lake like he's 120 years old it gets me every time

The Irishman (2019) Seems like Scorsese's ultimate eulogy to the Mafia/Gangster genre. Great story telling, and the cast was just an oldschool powerhouse who showed that they still got it after all these years. Especially Pesci. He was retired for like what? 20 years? Comes back with such a performance and then retires again. Al Pacino's performance reminded me of his performances in the 80's or early to mid 90's. Man's still got it, but apparently never received a fitting script in the last 20 years. Or maybe never one he felt passionate about again. And De Niro was phenomenal as well. Although those scenes where they de-aged him made me chuckle sometimes. You could still tell he was an old man all this time. But yea, great movie. Last 30 minutes were depressing as fuck though. But real. 8/10

PS5 came yesterday and have spent the past two days binging on Spiderman: Miles Morales - what a fucking game lads.

If you like Billy you'll like this too.

Our daughter had an early morning stroll with pals along Portobella Beach and Edinburgh yesterday.

Our son took these photos this morning on a brisk walk around Edinburgh. Arthurs Seat Robert Burns Memorial

Remember this little thought when they are growing up and learning to understand and talk...DO NOT SWARE in front of them... When our son's Alexander was around 3 years old and sitting in the back of his car in his kid's car seat, our son braked hard as someone cut him up and he yelled out "YOU FUCKING STUPID BASTARD!!!!", a few seconds later a voice in the back seat yelled out the same He had to pull over and tell Alexander "You must not say bad words like daddy did then..."
