Other What currently makes your life awesome?

This is not a warm flat. I have an enormous set of three sash (bay) windows in the living room that go from around a foot off the floor to the ceiling (so about 13ft) or more. They leak, they bang in the wind etc. I've got a set of curtains that are about 1/2" thick (padded) and when the wind gets bad down here in the winter they literally waft around. Seriously, living on the beach isn't as fun as people seem to think with those Facebook pics etc. It's a living nightmare during the winter. You can literally hear the wind howling and whistling. It's like some one revving a motor. If it is raining and you step outside you are soaked before you can even get back in. Everything rots, everything fades. I had to write my door number on my doorbell about ten times with a permanent marker because the salt air just makes it vanish. It's nuts tbh.

Having said that I love winter so I pretty much quite like all of the above. I got plenty of onesies and Totes, including a pair of flannelette lined half inch thick pure wool ones so bring it I say.

Yeah, that is probably why I assumed you were Scottish haha.

 

Don't talk to me about onsies.

 

Mine are a little more subtle. I've got a Batman one that the print fell off of (so it's all black) and a blue Superman one that the print also fell off of. Need to get some more for this winter though. They're like proper jogging suit thickness too, so yeah man snug as a bug and all that.

I'd rather be too cold and then warm myself up than too hot and can't cool down. Don't get me wrong I like a bit of summer but this one has been quite torturous. Especially given I weighed 18 stone at my last weigh in.

 

Onsie's and subtly do not go together, not in my book anyway.

 

Had a good catch-up with some friends I don't see very often yesterday evening. Had a thoroughly enjoyable evening, it's not often that both me and the other half have a night out.

Also this:



It's gonna cost me a fortune in clothes .

 

Congratulations on the weight loss Byron. Believe me I know how hard it is.

 

I was classed as morbidly obese but throat cancer soon put a stop to that and I lost 4" off my waist. Which would have still been off it was not thanks to the hypothyroidism, thanks radiation therapy that keeps on giving, which meant even though I can no longer swallow solid food I have actually regained 2" not that I can be considered fat now.
Prior to big C I loved all the wrong things.

 

Capaldi is gone,finally!

 

I think the BBC missed a trick here by choosing a woman to become the new time lord? by not selecting a black,Muslim, transgender disabled actor to play the part. This would really have proved how politically correct the BBC is.

 

They're saving that spec for the new sidekick.

 

from what I've read its not the who but the why that people are annoyed at, the BBC has been on a major diversity bender the past few years to the point where its being **** hammered into every opportunity it can.

hell, rather than comment about the role itself they instead bleat on about how she's a feminist and how we shouldn't fear her gender as female leads have been cropping up with increasing regularity on the big and small screens but its ********, we didn't care when Lara Croft was the lead in tomb raider, when Samus Aran was revealed as female or when Ellen Ripley fought off Aliens,

this is just **** stirring to appease insecure mouth breathers who throw themselves under the wheels of imaginary oppression to feel good about themselves on their shitty social media website of the week.

 

When I saw one of those clickbait "the new Doctor Who will leave you shocked!" ads at the bottom of a website, all I could think is - "Please let it be a shock return of Clarkson to BBC"

 

dude get off your high horse, I don't care about who the role goes to as was written with that possibility in mind, my beef is with why the BBC has gone about it and how they're reporting it.
