Come inside for a Brew and a Biscuit and maybe even a Wine if the mood takes you.

A thread for chatter and nonsense Grin

I do prefer it raw myself but I wasn't even asking him to eat he spinach. That was the bit I couldn't get over. Hey ho!

Scout yes, "Far". There is nothing wrong with the name, but around here the name and the address come with a certain "image". I am shocked by myself. What a hypocrite! Blush

carrots, you might get a kick out of Toddler's name.

HI Cats!

Enjoy, zoo.

bessie26 · 03/05/2012 20:13

I don't understand the name thing, but I am probably happily ignorant!

Just vacuumed & mopped. Time for shred!

in last 2 weeks we have got new school minibuses

CatsSleepAnywhere · 03/05/2012 20:33

Do you all find the back ground really bright? I'm just wondering if I can adjust my computer screen somehow. It's very glaring!

carrotsandcelery · 03/05/2012 20:36

Scout I hope I haven't put my foot in it. He doesn't live at "that" address though anyway.

I have also realised that others would make an assumption about ds's name. Blush

His name would be worthy of a whole Billy Connolly show infact!

bessie I think it is a local issue. There are several estates around here that are seriously hoity toity (bear in mind the Queen holidays in the vicinity) and this candidate lives on one of them. The family of that name have a certain reputation for being particularly hoity toity. The two put together and the party they were standing for said it all really.

I have prejudices and I am ashamed Blush

Cats Hold the Fn button and push the down arrow. Should dim it a bit.

carrotsandcelery · 03/05/2012 20:36

Scout now you will have to pm me Ts's name (I will pm you ds's) Grin

OP posts:
CatsSleepAnywhere · 03/05/2012 20:49

I don't have a fn button. Confused

CatsSleepAnywhere · 03/05/2012 20:54

I think I might have done it. I pressed a few buttons under my screen and it's not so bright now. Smile

carrotsandcelery · 03/05/2012 20:57

It can be really off putting when you are tired can't it Cats. I hope it is better now.

I hope no one is offended by our dear Billy's language Grin

Yes Carrots. I think I might need a bit less screen time at the mo though cause with these tablets I've noticed I started feeling a bit ill again looking at the white screen. Perhaps it will get better with time. I have felt mostly o.k. all day.

carrotsandcelery · 03/05/2012 21:06

I have had a similar issue with this sinus headache. It is ok in the daytime but when it is darker elsewhere it seems very bright.

As Scout says you can fiddle about and dim it down.
