Hello From My Englishness

[MatureChattyMann]

I hope I remember this.... my OH announced last night that he’s on a residential course next week ( for the whole week). I’m not sure I can cope with “ Mummy look, watch me mummy, I’m hungry, MUMMY LOOK” for that period without respite.

Sounds like a 2 gin bottles week, one for you, one for them (only kidding mods)

What a fucking day.

Days like today make this lockdown feel like decades.

*hugs*

Hang in there, Mr D. We can't escape our houses right now, but there's a bunch of people here who are holding you tight...

 

[numeniusa]

Oh my... Tamsin Greig in Twelfth Night... National Theatre on YouTube... Mr D she has spinning tits, watch and we’ll exchange cliff notes...

I saw this live, way back when in the 'before times', it was brilliant, just brilliant.

Watched it again last Friday with some neighbours/friends with whom we often go to the theatre. We all dressed up, had pre-theatre drinks via video call, each watched the first half, then interval drinks, second half, post-mortem drinks. Not the same, but good fun. First time I've put make up on in weeks! There was even a bow-tie!

Really looking forward to the Frankensteins.

Thank you, numeniusa. I’m doing best I can. It’s not just a lockdown (or restriction of service as I’ve heard it called, no innuendo intended) situation.

This. I binge watched about 5 seasons in a row and now I can't separate him from Sherlock and I want him. Even a dose of trainspotting can't put me off.

I'm looking forward to Frankenstein actually, I missed it when the did the broadcasts at the time, so it'll. Be great to catch it now. And I love Tamsin. Had no idea about this and I'm going to look it out tonight. I have so missed APs cultural heads ups.

He’ll always be Sick Boy to me. Shooting an air rifle at dangerous dogs in the park whilst doing Sean Connery impressions!

I’m not much of a culture vulture but I’m interested in watching the stage version of Frankenstein which I remember reading about when it was first showing. Even I fancy Bendyback Ladysnatch a little bit. He was fantastic as Patrick Melrose on Sky last year.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re struggling MrD. Whilst I have absolutely no formal training with respect to mental health, I’ve had my own dark periods (and still do). If it would be helpful to just blurt it all out to someone, drop me a PM.

Hey SL - found a flower and a bud in my wild garlic when doing lunchtime omelette... dare I let it go to seed?

Also Nigel Farage can fuck the fuck off... sorry just needed to say that...

What a stinking, disgusting, piece of shit...

There’s a photo on Twitter that I want to find: Farage by the sea, with the text: Cnut holding back the sea ... or something like that.

Allia: new Fiona Apple album! Only found out about it by accident the other day! Liked her album Tidal ... going to give the new one another listen. It is ... involving!

It’s amazing! I am finding it hitting home with me at the mo, x

Think my favourite Farage-based joke ever was the time he was answering Twitter questions (I think?) and someone asked:

You have been described as a "cult" figure. What are your plans to combat adult illiteracy?

Perfect!

 

[mr_d_w]

Definitely one of those things that sticks in the mind

Happy Friday, all!

Over 7 days since my son had his surgical procedure in hospital and we are all well.

Your photos always remind me that there is beauty in the world.

So glad to hear it, Todge.

Good afternoon from Bristol.....

Good afternoon...from Chicago.

Heyyyy afternoon all. Look I’ve got 2 minutes peace hiding in the kitchen. I definitely think give it a go with the seeds..... although they sell wild garlic in bulb form so I’m not sure how that works ( thank you to the gentleman who sent me the link to the supplier... I’m not getting a chance to respond to PMs at the moment)

Did anyone watch Frankenstein? ..... I tried but just can’t do theatre on TV. It’s one or the other.

Cracked Column

Can any of the “ old timers” tell me what happened to CC? I just read on Day Drunk that he got banned. I always had a soft spot for him ( as you know)

You can grow wild garlic from seed, but not sure there's enough nutrients in a glass of water for the seeds to fully form. If you do plant wild garlic, do it in an old bucket, like you do for mint, to try and slow it spreading.

I am not certain that Ruth has his facts straight on that topic. As far as I know, CC was never banned nor did he ever do anything ban worthy.

ETA: His account is still active, otherwise his av would be gone and he would be listed as a guest. Any threads he created would have been deleted.

Thanks Angelica. That makes complete sense

Week 7! Part of my brain insists it can't be May already, the other part is sure lockdown has felt so long, it must be 2022 by now

Hang in there, all!
