Hedgecutter Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 This could be a PTTGOYN (or worse) for many, but I enjoy coming home from holiday, especially to find a non-destroyed, non-flooded house. As much as holidays are grand, I get to the point where I think "that's enough now, but it's been fun". Not so much 'homesick', but just enjoy the novelty of occasionally knowing where everything is, being able to board public transport without worrying about a ticketing f*** up, conversing fluently in your own language, not needing to think about sunburn, not smelling the occasional blast of sewage in the street, no struggling to find a bar showing the World Cup, etc etc. #HomeSweetHome 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It at least partly accounts for why we lost touch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnydun Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 The youngest is progressing well with his pool, apart from covid times we have played it every Saturday for over 2 years now. Thank you @Mr. Alli The Old Mill is fantastic. We play best out of 5 and he has never beaten me over the 5, until last weekend. When I was 1-0 up, I told him if he beats me on the day, I will give him £5. 4-1 the little shit beat me. Now I'm not claiming to be a World beater at pool, but I have played it countless times in pubs and offshore. He is 11 and it is great to see how far he has come. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 The Prof is laid up having had hand surgery last week. I told the wife and the conversation went like this. "He had an operation on his hand." "Was it a wanking injury?" "No, he said it was a long-standing-" "Wanking. He injured himself wanking." "This is the second operation he has had." "Yep. For wanking." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefybake Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Just received my £10 DWP Christmas bonus. I've been doing so much cost-cutting, scrutinising every KwH of electricity, and general worthiness. Time for enjoyments. Ordered some artisan chocolates infused with single malt whisky.
