I'm there!

I must stop watching tv, because I think I am very suggestible. I was watching that chateau thing the other night and he made a bees knees gin cocktail.

Friends , I had the ingredients. it was really nice actually.

(I am weeping for those beautiful prawns.)

Lidl is doing shell on big prawns for 9.99 it’s 750 grams. And the back has been opened. They are good

bungobungobungo · 24/02/2026 20:21

That makes more sense!

EsmaCannonball · 24/02/2026 20:22

The second worst twenty minutes of Keith's life were when he first moved to England and his colleagues wouldn't stop singing The Chicken Song.

Increasingly these challenges seemed designed to be virtually impossible and to show people up, rather than show their basic skills.
