How to keep a cat happy and tire him out, buy a laundry basket from Poundstretcher's then cut the bottom out, then watching Puddin playing with bits & pieces (cats toys) inside made us laugh our socks off.

Both Gyros and Tzatziki have a dodgy eye Still beautiful though. One-eyed pirate.

Yeah thats the entirety of it more or less. Spanish law is strange; from what Ive read and there was no precedence in any case like this but from the outside it always kinda seemed likely they would get their money and move on. Supposedly there is no such thing as a restraining order but it was a court order stemming from a domestic incident and they werent to see each other for 6 months. He was arrested upon reentering the country after the honeymoon and subsequently charged. I had to know and of course they are not together anymore

It was absurd anyway, wasn't the whole thing about him and his wife breaking the restraining order by travelling together for their HONEYMOON? Bureaucracy at its worst.

Make sure to drink a lot of fluids... A drip would have been good, but I can understand why you were reluctant to get it My father had a bad food poisoning in SE Asia a few years ago; fever of 40 degrees, vomitting, diarrhea, was even getting a bit delirious at times. Brought him to the local private clinic, they wanted an 8 drip course, we settled with 2 and a presription of antibiotics He was up and running again within two days. These things can sadly happen, especially when you're abroad and have little to none previous exposure to local bacteria. Hope you get better soon!

Any dislike, or frustration from some fans as I would put it, has been brought upon himself by both his people his performances & behavior since gaining his contract. Poor performances outweigh promising by roughly 5/1 which for me is being kind to the boy. The manager manufactured a new position for him which he hasn't taken too like Moses & the buzz around the ground of late is he does not listen to instructions from the manager. When you swindle a huge contract, that up to the time of signing many felt you did not deserve, you need to ensure you do not load any ammunition to those disgusted we caved in, instead of getting rid. Up too the time of tapping these words out I defy anyone who goes to the games to offer a case he has been worth the Contract. Do your job on the pitch and I will praise you. Hey the biggest headline he has produced since signing is his liking for late night probable call girl visits.

We have one in our stadium and you only ever hear positive things about it, great to see the staff were on the ball here too.

I think for a lot of young people, there is an acknowledgement of the fact that there will be an immediate economic hit. But I think this is largely outweighed by a really sincere fear that the future of the UK is going to be a long, slow slide away from democracy and a constant worsening of social conditions. It's a difficult question because fundamentally different questions are at play. People tend to talk past each other because their priorities are just completely different. Is an overall hit to living standards worth a more engaged democracy and safer rule of law? Could the economic hit be made-up for within our lifetimes? Is there any hope of the UK turning course and developing in a direction which Scottish people can accept? Not to mention that depending on the economic policies pursued, actual living standards for many people could be improved even while indicators such as GDP growth falter. GDP growth doesn't always mean things are improving for normal people, and vice-versa. One issue is that the SNP seems like they would pursue the route of austerity and fiscal conservatism, which I think would exacerbate the economic hit. But I think most young people aren't overly supportive of the SNP in terms of its actual economic policies, but just accept them as a tool for achieving independence.

The SNES F-Zero was only really fun as a proof of concept, but the game has aged terribly. F-Zero X was where it truly started for me, but F-Zero GX was the pinnacle. One of the best games of its generation. That said, I remember waiting for a new F-Zero game back in the Wii days, so I'm certainly not having my hopes up.

Love this

The unjabbed are frightened. They are shit scared. It is as simple as that. That can push them down rabbit holes of misinformation and the suppression of ambiguity and social responsibility that comes with the vaccine decision. It works the other way, I know people who've been jabbed because they're frightened of covid when they likely don't need to be. Ultimately what matters is social responsibility. When it comes to healthcare workers you'd like to think they're braver, more trusting and more socially responsible. Imagine working with cancer patients and being faced with a question, we have a vaccine here that might reduce transmission and help to protect the vulnerable do you want to take it? No. A couple of months later, we have a vaccine here that our data suggests it reduces transmission and protects others, do you want to take it? No. A couple of months later, we have a vaccine here that seems to reduce transmission in the short term then drops off, do you want to take it to protect the patients you have in the next few months? No. That is mental.

I ran one in a shade over 6.

Talking to my brother at the weekend. He wasn't keen on the vaccine yet said as his wife is foreign and frequently abroad he did not want to risk not being unable to cross borders. I looked at the death figures going back 20 years and before 2005 we were losing more people per thousand than we lost last year. There were some years I recall when some people very close to the NHS were saying hundreds of thousands were dying from the flu yet it was not being reported on. The first vaccine (experimental) carried a synthetic protein and this was why people got reactions like Bell's Pausy. What happens is the vaccine is directed straight into the blood system which flows unlike say a graze or cut where the platelets and white blood cells know where to go. With a vaccine and especially this synthetic one it was a lottery where the platelets would try and engage it. In the wrong place and you can get a stroke or heart problem. Initially the news reported on this and then they stopped and it changed to a mantra of everyone had to have the vaccine. I used to have vaccines until I had problems in my mid 20s after this i went to a number of different practitioners and have since helped a number of people with digestive complaints, back pain, infertility, knee problem, chest infections and chest pain. I was thinking of using these skills professionally yet mid way through the courses the govt stopped them meaning I would have to do a four year full time course, I was not happy as I was renting at the time in my late thirties. When I was talking to practitioners a number of years ago they were petitioning the government about vaccine damage in children and thought it was widespread. Happy Blue is the first i have personally known to have a child seriously impacted by it. Even better he got some compensation. I believe this does not get wider coverage because of vested interests and the huge amounts of money involved.

This link is from the US where they tried to force all ICU staff to have the vaccine, 250 walked out and they had to close the ICU. https://flagandcross.com/maine-hospital-fired-so-many-unvaxed-employees-they-had-to-close-the-icu/ This is also a risk for our NHS depending on the stance that is taken. Now look at this comment from a Californian nurse: “Why do the protected need to be protected from the unprotected by forcing the unprotected to use the protection that did not protect the protected in the first place?” I'm please to see Rick De Santis stand up to Biden and say there should be freedom, let the people decide for themselves on vaccination.

Waking up to see the fallout from giving my half-asleep thoughts on the merits of a semi-circular penalty area.

CBD molecule, CBD expert, and setting ions on fire to see how fast they explode didn't give it away?...

A visit to our daughters and get attacked again by Puddin the Beast, he has bloody grown and his paws are massive.

Played Life is Strange: True Colors and its Wavelengths DLC. The story had some 'eh' moments, but overall I think it was very well done, and engaging throughout. The game itself also looks super gorgeous. That record store in particular just feels so damn real it's uncanny. While some moments of Wavelengths made me raise my eyebrows (the political kowtowing was too much at times even by this series' standards), the gameplay is so innovative and unique. I mean, it's still an 'interactive movie' style game at the end of the day, but the concept of running a radio station/record store made it feel like nothing I've ever played. Also, the soundtrack and sound design is obscenely good. No one does it better. That said, Wavelenghts might not be as interesting if you have never played the older games. There's a bit of fan service there. Overall, I'm glad that they put this series in the hands of Deck Nine, instead of Dontnod (the developer that came up with the series). I already thought Before the Storm (LiS1 prequel developed by Deck Nine) was better than the game it was a prequel to, and Dontnod's Life is Strange 2 really was a swing and a miss and easily the worst game in the series.

Meet Tzatziki & Gyros, my new unexpected fosters

Huge relief. They seem to be getting along just fine.

Our pet Rabbit and Chihuahua.

Holy Shit.

Well that was an interesting break, did some amazing snorkeling at Paradise beach and a coral island in the middle of the ocean. Then 3 days into the holiday I felt like I'd been kicked in the stomach by a horse but being a father who didn't want to spoil his kids holiday I soldiered on through even though I was near collapse from dehydration and diarrhea. Only ended having to go into one of their private clinics after three days of hell. The doctor walked in looking like he'd just ended his shift as a night porter and possibly only left school a few weeks earlier. Not to mention the room looked about as hygienic as construction site cabin. So I quietly refused the drip they suggested was the best medical solution through fear of catching something far worse. I'm now home still sick and waiting for my appointment with my GP tomorrow who is that concerned about me he suggested if I get any more pains this evening I go straight to A&E. So all in all it was a bit of a disaster and it has put me off travelling to Egypt ever again.
