    I have never ever seen, or heard such ridiculous rubbish as my OH is watching on Netflix at the moment,  I’m sure they’ve had the whole universes fake blood to use.
    is it a horror film? No, it Sigmund  Freud. 
    OH says he was a cocaine addict so they’re his fantasies when he’s high.

    We don't know why the gates are there. The local farmer doesn't drive his cattle along the road the footpath opens out to, the cyclists have to stop and heave their cycles up the steps, likewise parents with pushchairs (very awkward to open the gate and lift a pushchair at the same time). We suppose it might stop small children/dogs from running away but they should be under control anyway - the bridge is over a small brook with steep sides. There are deer in the nearby wood but they could leap over. Who knows?

    Spot the deliberate mistake in the GW mag this month. Page 23 has a 'clipping' about weedy lawns being better for bees but they've used a picture of two bee mimic flies as the photo. In better news the envelope had ripped open in transit again and every bit of junk mail had gone missing :) 
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I have a moan too...I subscribed to GW in May and as yet I have not received the June edition   :'(.
    Otherwise loving the forum

    The subscription can take several weeks to activate.  Did you receive the May edition?  If so you need to contact them to chase up the non delivery.

    I bought two varieties of Dahlia plants, three of each. One is supposed to be orange but turned out to be an insipid pink/yellow variety. The other was supposed to be Bishop of Llandaff, but one of them has green leaves so it is something else. I don't mind the second so much if it turns out to be attractive, but I will buy my Dahlias elsewhere in future.

    I'm doubly peeved now, got my Sainsbury's order before lunch with the 6 bottles of wine, but with no 25% discount. When I rang up to enquire why, I was told one of the bottles didn't qualify! It always has before - grrrr

    Easy solution to that problem Lizzie27.  Order a couple of extra bottles each time to ensure 6 qualify.  Just needed a bit of lateral thinking, possibly followed by lateral lying down to recover. :D

    I think I'd rather isolate even if there wasn't a virus

    Sorry @Hostafan1 but this is way too hot for me. Going to hole up for the day in the chest freezer (if I can get in) and wait it out.........
