On the phone, and caller said, "well, it's not rocket silence". Not what? "rocket silence" The phrase is, "rocket science". <actually laughs!>"No, it's rocket silence. Rockets are loud, and it'd be very difficult to silence them. That's what it means." So...is it *me* that's mad- Replying to @BBCNewsThe word is, "murdered". He was murdered by Israeli forces. WTF is wrong with you lot?
- In an interview, after the tragedy occurred, the buffalo said, "I know people will be horrified by what I've done, but I did it to help with the conservation of human beings..."
- Well, that was an interesting hour. Went to collect it. Bloke says, "I've had none other people contact me about it. But you were the first, so, here you go." I gave him the £25 (I know!), and leave. I get to Tesco and do the shopping. Phone rings. Hello? "Hello, it's (name)...I have to go out to get food...and although ill, I will put a mask on and go to collect this...how could I not for what they want for it!? Nice cabinet to restore and put back into use...it's almost identical to my M&W...will need a new door making, but that's a simple job
- He's gone. Peacefully. I'll miss him. x Thank you all for you kind thoughts and wishes. Sorry I wasn't able to reply to you all. He lasted longer than my phone battery. No need to reply to this. I know. x
- I've just had a call from a friend, asking about another friend, one of my oldest woodturning mates. A neighbour. Called his son, and he said he died three weeks ago. Didn't tell anyone. No funeral announcement. Nothing. I'm a little stunned. And saddened. Called friend back...
- This hen is 12 yrs old. She hasn’t laid an egg for about three years. She’s started laying eggs again. What a creature she is. Also…grumpy as fuck. I love her to bits
- Sent customer the cost of doing the work he wants done. An easy 40hrs work. Probably 50. Lathe and tool use for same period. Overheads - abrasives, sealer, oils, wax, stain. Etc., & etc. He's supplying wood. £1400. Calls me. "Needs to be closer to £700" ...
- Andrea Leadsom: “I intend to support the meaningful vote. I have been assured I will have a central role in deciding the future relationship”. Google translation: "She can have my vote for a job. I know nothing, haven't had an original thought in decades, I'm feathering my nest"
