    I asked a neighbour once how was her husband as I hadn't seen him for a while, she replied "why do you want to know" i wasn't sure how to reply to that!
    Bl**dy sod you then, might have done the job  ;)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    It's a French neighbour she can be a bit funny like that!
  • On the whole, most people who ask "How are you ? " only expect a brief response along the lines of " Fine/OK and how are you ?"  They certainly don't expect  to actually be told any details.  It's a well known English trait  :D

    French and Belgian too in my experience so you've got an odd one @floralies.

    We once had a customer call Head Office because someone asked " how are you today ?" he said it was none of their business to ask such intrusive questions.
    I would suggest that they probably weren’t very well :/
    No, he's just a miserable old git. He's in store almost every single day and just winges . Most folk, including me, don't say a word to him now . That's the way he likes it.

    There's unconfirmed reports that Ukrainian Roma people have nicked a tank off the Russians. I bet Jimmy Carr is sh***ing himself :#
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
  • I’ve just watched an advert for a new ‘greener’ vacuum cleaner especially for hard floors … bet it’s not greener than the brush and dustpan I use 🙄

    That reminded me of the meme I saw recently @Dovefromabove - using solar and wind power to dry the washing.

  • I've got under Dave's skin.  He's the bloke working late on Sunday evening for the Incredibledirect.ie "support team", and I've been having a long and involved email conversation with him on the subject of the timer switch I ordered towards the end of November last year.  It was supposed to be a Christmas present, but didn't arrive until January 14th, immediately following a stinky review I left on Trustpilot.  (The "support team" hadn't seen fit to respond to the emails I'd sent them in the meantime.)

    I didn't try it until a week ago.  You can't give a Christmas present in January... and it doesn't work.  I left more stink on Trustpilot.  Dave is offended, and rude.  I have been studiously polite.  It's quite fun...
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
