Re: If you had a grand to treat yourself, what would you get
Difficult one as everything I’ve got on my wish list seems to start at around £4K
I’d probably get myself a new going out outfit, I can’t remember the last time I bought myself any clothes and used to spend a few hundred a week as a youngster (before mortgages and children)

A grands worth of the Rockies Mountaineer into Vancouver.
As it is in Euros either of these two would be suitable.

Not yet but preparation under way. I want to move the tv but then saw the tangle of wires behind it from old video recorders, sound systems, dvds etc. I’m part way through the untangling.

I never understood the attraction of watches. “What time is it?”
“10 past 6, same as on my £20 watch”.

Re: If you had a grand to treat yourself, what would you get
For as long as there has been watches, it’s always been an attraction to a large number of men. I didn’t used to want one but for me it would be a way of rewarding myself for bringing in a big deal at work and get the large bonus (when that day comes and I’ve sorted all my other priorities first)LoveCurryPies wrote: ↑Thu Mar 17, 2022 10:03 pmI never understood the attraction of watches. “What time is it?”

“10 past 6, same as on my £20 watch”.
I prefer the approach of the non-racially-specified citizen of the UK. When he wanted to know the time in the middle of the night, being too mean either to buy a watch or to put the light on to see his clock, he started playing his bagpipes. The man next door would bang on the wall shouting "din ye ken it's three o'clock in the morning".
Fine fellows, these Yorkshiremen.

Scottish jokes are illegal, or so some would have us believe. Yorkshire jokes aren't. It's one of life's little ironies - if Cardiff play Leeds (next season hopefully!) and the Cardiff fans start singing about what the Yorkshiremen do to sheep, and the Leeds fans start singing about what Welshmen do to sheep, then the Leeds fans are committing a racially aggravated criminal offence and the Cardiff fans aren't!LoveCurryPies wrote: ↑Fri Mar 18, 2022 7:02 amThat’s the worst Yorkshire accent I’ve read.
