I have mostly been watching television shows about people who are quite good at something, who compete to see who is the best at being quite good at that thing, then win nothing.

I prefer cats.

I think I'll trust Ming-Na a lot more than I trust Showmasters right now.

With conventions nothing is ever guaranteed until you actually see the guest in the building. With Covid still going on, we can be even less sure.

There should be no reason to turn anybody away, unless you turn up drunk. I don't know you, and Wetherspoons open really early so I can't rule this out.

I wouldn't, but given how some people have acted during this pandemic, I bet plenty of people would.

Perhaps you underestimate the stupidity of the human race.

Oooooooooh, technically the vaccines take about two weeks to be fully effective, sooooooooo. Oh go on then, I'll allow it.

It's no wonder she's looking so grumpy with that terrible wig.

As has Johnny Depp.

AHA! So you do care what anybody says. Somebody says. Me says.

Well it's normal, but different to what normal was before, so it's new. Can we settle on 'newmal'?

I'm still going on the bedroom, jsyk. A recent development is that I tidied out the bay window, then took down the old curtains and put up some new blinds. I put together a shelving unit thingy and stuck it in there, which I then proceeded to fill with stuff. It made the floor look a lot tidier, but it doesn't really count as all the stuff still needs sorting out. I'm also gradually working out what to put in my large bookcase, e.g. I had the bright idea of filling one shelf with books.

Now I'm just worried about being stabbed.

Whenever I see posts by you in any covid related threads I can't help but find your username ironic, what with the 'a pocketful of posies' line in 'Ring-a-ring-o'-roses', and its origin.

Nah, too many women.

I watched Point Break (the original, obvs) for the first time. Technically I watched the last hour (it was another watch-along and I was late). I very much enjoyed what I saw; although I was a bit disappointed that Keanu and Patrick Swayze didn't make out at any point.

Salmon. Alex Salmond or Nicola Sturgeon?

That reminds me of someone. I can't quite think who...

To the relief of millions, my wood is unharmed.

It's a major undertaking - we're not talking about a little spring clean. Also, I had a disaster yesterday.

I curse the idiot who decided it was a good idea to sort out my bedroom.

Ooh, a forum 'veteran'. So good to have you back, I think you'll find the place has gone from strength-to-strength since you were last here. There's just so much going on; endless excitement and laughter and conversing about myriad topics. Ah, who am I kidding, it's pretty rubbish.
