Here's a new thread for discussing aircon, aubergines, and Goth music.

I am definitely too cool for air con

TheGreatWave · 23/06/2020 08:20

Morning all.

rookiemere · 23/06/2020 08:21

Oh no the new rools say we can't discuss spicy nik naks !

SockYarn · 23/06/2020 08:22

It's too cool for aircon in Scotland because it's fecking pouring. Again.

Drivingdownthe101 · 23/06/2020 08:23

No spicy nik naks?! Why??

Nihiloxica · 23/06/2020 08:24

If you discuss Spicy Nik Naks, people will sadly die.

(Are they corn snacks?)

(Definitely don't tell me, or you will be a murderer.)

Spicy Nik Naks are not mentioned in the first post, therefore they must be banned and anyone who eats one DIES horribly as they deserve.

Sockyarn it's a pleasant mizzle here, nicer than heat to run in - just back.

Drivingdownthe101 · 23/06/2020 08:25

My lips are sealed on the main ingredient of the immoral stick like snacks.

Anyway DH won't be eating them. The main outcome of his A&E trip is he needs to cut down on salt, alcohol and stress. So no more multiple bags if crisps and glasses of wine in the evening.

It's a bit of a relief as all the crunching was putting me off The Salisbury Murders - Nik Naks are particularly bad btw.

Nihiloxica · 23/06/2020 08:29

Oh I love mizzle for a run. Was explaining this to DC2 on our run the other morning.

Showers here too, I can hear on the skylight windows. Not sure what quality of rain it is, as still in bed.

Morning!

You wouldn't exactly be lugging a ventilator on a bus or in a small shop Wink

I kept on at school until the bitter end. I was helping out on the Tuesday after the social distancing and isolating with symptoms announcement and the attendance immediately plummeted by a third. There was a stunt bike display on the Wednesday that carried on as normal, we were all sat outside in the drizzle for that-Covid safe Wink However assemblies and extra curriculars were dropped to reduce mixing. DS1 was very anxious from Feb, lots of hair chewing and "tummy aches" every day. He eased out after a couple of weeks at home. It's setting back to real life that will be the challenge, but it's one reason why we've got out and about as much as possible.

InsaneInTheViralMembrane · 23/06/2020 08:30

I bought the kids a multipack of spicy nik-naks from the village shop and the little freaks branded them “gross”.

Enjoying Scottish summer here and nipped out this morning to retrieve my wheelie bins and get the garden table back in its feet.

BogRollBOGOF · 23/06/2020 08:31

I was confused then, I'm back to my usual purple and not being OP green. It was my new normal Grin

Nihiloxica · 23/06/2020 08:31

Sad

Extreme fatness forced me to make this decision, solidarity with your poor DH Sad

Lockdown without crisps is pretty shite.

If spicy nil bald are banned can we have those packets of fish and chip biscuits? Can’t remember what they were called.

Worldgonecrazy · 23/06/2020 08:34

Nil bald? Got to love auto correct! Nik naks!

Littlebelina · 23/06/2020 08:36

Checking in, suspect you'll be on page 20 before I get back this afternoon Grin

Nihiloxica · 23/06/2020 08:37

My kids also stayed at school until they closed.

I'm grateful to DD1's school for staying open until they were ordered to close and sending out clear plans for next year the day after guidelines were released.

While some Heads are still saying there's not enough time to plan Hmm

Like seriously, if you can't plan to get your school back in three months, maybe you need to resign because you are clearly shite at your job.

I was confused then, I'm back to my usual purple and not being OP green. It was my new normal

Grin

I thought I'd still be purple to myself. It's a bit upsetting. Wink

Scampi Fries? Vile things, you Heathen!

I ate so much dip (with crisps) over the weekend. I have put on at least 10lbs over lockdown despite my free NHS membership of slimming world. My Consultant has pretty much given up with the encouraging messages every time I tell her I've gained again!

SummerHouse · 23/06/2020 08:37

Nil bald - spicy nil balds Grin

I think the fish and chips are called fish n chips?

trappedsincesundaymorn · 23/06/2020 08:37

Morning all.

Just for the record, Nik naks are grim.

SeagoingSexpot · 23/06/2020 08:39

Checking in! Awaiting the pub announcement with gusto and glee.

LethargicLumpOfLockdownLard · 23/06/2020 08:40

@Dowser I tried to watch the video but the whole gun-on-hip and 'here's my bullet pendulum' totally turned me off I'm afraid!
