Sitting with the wife last night reminiscing years ago when we first met when I was in the army military hospital in Germany and she remembers the bit I told her about catching a guy out with a prank, she had a good laugh about it, again. It happened to be that they admitted a guy in who had put his fist through a window over a girl and ripped his hand apart which needed stitching and that was about it but he was an attention seeker, always crying and wanting a nurse to either console him or if he wanted a pee and needed a pee bottle. The thing was he could have easily got out of his bed and went himself but NO, he wanted a nurse to hold his willie while he had a pee (look at the spoiler for the bottle we used in those days made out of hard cardboard). Me and the other guys in our ward go pissed off with his crying and moaning and keeping us awake so I decided to act one night, I was in bed recovering from a fractured skull, broken jaw, and a broken arm and leg, etc, he was fast asleep so I crawled out of my bed towards his bed and got his pee bottle sitting on the side of the bed and then I stuck big pin holes in the bottle all over and crawled back to bed. Sure enough, he woke up crying and calling for a nurse he wanted a pee, sure enough, the nurse came, held the bottle on his willie and he started to have a pee then there was mayhem as the nurse and he was yelling as pee was squirting all over the place, it was like watching a water fountain, I slept well that night.

Not the greatest pic. But made a simple but yummy pasta tonight. Mini-Penne, with spinach, ricotta, tomatoes and roasted pine nuts.

Finland's PM was filmed at a party, just having fun. Yet some people didn't like it https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-62588480

Sorry for bringing the old post up, but I found it amusing that 50 years later, the Academy has now decided to apologise to Sacheen Littlefeather for the treatment she received back then.

Ooooh nice. I was always staying in a small town called Tucepi that is not far away from Makarska. Next time I go to Croatia, I'll probably stay in Makarska as well. Lovely little town, but not too little. Nice promenade, good restaurants and bars. And as you said, a good place to reach other destinations. Dubrovnik is definitely worth seeing, but when I was there in 2019, it was soooo packed, and very expensive compared to other Croatian cities. I've been to Hvar, Brac and to Krka as well. Can't go wrong with that! I'd add Mostar to the list. It's in Bosnia & Herzegovina, but easy to reach if you have a rental car or probably easily bookable for an excursion. Lovely little town with a lot of history. Well, most of it had to be rebuilt as it was destroyed in the Balkan Wars, but they stayed very true to the original. And other than that, I'd also say Zadar, Split and Sibenik are worth a visit. And for something "nearby" to have a stroll on the beach or see a lovely little town I'd also recommend Baska Voda. Only drove through there when the bus took me back to the hotel, but it looked very nice.

I read it about 20 years ago, and frankly, I don't remember much of the plot, but I recall liking it. Not as much as Midnight's Children, although quite honestly, I don't remember much of it either... Maybe my Alzheimer's is kicking in already. Which would be a bit shit, but I'm quite looking forward to forgetting and then re-reading my favourite books and rewatching my favourite movies and TV shows though. There's always a silver lining

Yea, I saw that on one of my feeds this week.... too little, too late

Where in Croatia? I've been to Croatia 8 times. 7 times as a kid, and then in 2019 again for the first time since 1997. One of the most beautiful places I've been to so far. Many spots have become VERY touristy though, especially Dubrovnik ever since they shot Game of Thrones there. Very expensive too.

Going to Croatia in a few weeks for 10 days, never been but my missus really sold it to me so we're both looking forward to the break now. Been a good while since our last holiday away to Cyprus so we're busting for it now. Looks a beautiful place so hopefully it meets expectations.

An unwritten code that you're not allowed to go to a party and dance? Maybe that code needs to be changed. The position of PM doesn't automatically equate to you not being able to have fun, and have all kind of life sucked out of you to become a miserable straight-laced goody-two-shoes. She's literally done nothing wrong - what's crazy about it? And is it worse because it's done on camera? Why would anyone be fired/suspended for dancing at a party? Do you really think people in military or other 'serious' walks of life don't go out to parties or enjoy themselves when they're not at work?

Now this I'm familiar with.

Did you know when you put stuff into the Recycle Bin it doesn't actually go in a physical bin?

Happy India Independence Day to all my Indian brothers on here Been watching a few programmes about it and the events of August 1947 and while it's an occasion which marked a milestone for the country, the involvement (or distinct and cowardly lack of) of the British government is astounding. Lord Mountbatten has the blood of millions of citizens on his hands.

This was pretty gruesome if true... Historians believe that the reason they can't find more than two skeletons from the Battle of Waterloo is because they think the bones were all ground up to make sugar whitening.. There was a sugar refinery about 3 miles from the battleground and they think the corpses might have been stripped and the bones ground up..
