...sorted out the guddle which was my CD collection....
Is that a Scots word??
What is it they say about clothes? If you haven't worn something for six months then you'll probably never wear it again.
That, or you're a serial nudist! :giggle:
Ooooooooooh! Don't know... but I've used 'guddle' for many years now! And it's listed on Encarta!
I LOVE the word, though I'm using faffing around when in a guddle! Sometimes I'm fannying around when in a guddle but hardly ever faffing and fannying at the same time.
:P :P
:whistling: :whistling: I spend only half an hour each day de-cluttering. Any more and I get incredibly fed up and leave things in a mess. One half hour satisfies the need to get rid of a huge amount of clutter without boring me.
I've scanned all my undergraduate papers onto 1 DVD sorted out the guddle which was my CD collection :happy: :happy: and gave all my uni textbooks to the uni :P and a huge amount of unwanted fiction to the local hospital. Old clothes have gone to the local homeless unit along with a load of shampoos which were bought on BOGOF and then never used.
Not as virtuous as it sounds but I feel good doing it. I try to take out one bag (even if it's small) of unwanted clutter each time I leave the house - don't always manage it but the habit is almost totally formed!

Its given me loads of hangovers some great friends and a special relationship
Think we attended the same party???
:rotflmao: :inlove: :inlove: I've made some spectacular friends from here, those I would trust with my life, my last shilling and my car! Those I speak to on the phone regularly, those I visit whenever possible and those whose contribution to my life is never ever dull.
I'll be with 2 of those friends all next week.. doesn't 4 years fly when you're having a fabulous time??
:rose: :inlove:

Like most people I feel like a peripheral person standing on the sidelines as everyone else joins in with in jokes and banter.
Sorry for the quick hijack but Keeno, I do have to disagree with you here. I never think of you as being one of the people on the sidelines. In the middle of it all maybe, but never on the sidelines
That may be how you see it but I aklways feel on the sidelines
Ain't perception wonderful!! Depends where you're standing.
I don't really 'miss' anyone - all those who I enjoy being with I still enjoy being with, others have lit up my cyber life briefly and flitted away. I'm all the better for their having been around. Others have dulled my cyber life briefly and flitted away (perhaps with a shove, perhaps of their own free will -matters not) and this place is all the better for their not being around.
Same theme, just another thread!
:P
Just to clarify the rules of a Munch folks.
People, single or couples, don't need any verifiying to attend a MUNCH. The criteria is simple:
Getting an invite most likely involves getting registered on the forum and PMing (sending a Private Message via the forum) to the organiser asking to be invited, or adding your name(s) to the list by replying to the Munch thread - it's that simple.
A Social is when additional rules can be added by the Organiser.

I'm a 'not sure' though I did once drive past (on a bus) a particularly sunny spot in Newcastle and think to myself what a lovely place that would be to live. Nearly 4 years later I moved there and have been here ever since. I didn't realise when I got the details of the property that that was the location as the street is hidden away so couldn't see it from the bus.
:dunno:
:dunno: Big juicy red wines are fine. Can't be doing with stuff like Pinot Noir or Zinfandel or rose wines.
The vast majority of the imported German reds are horrible too but the local areas have 'country' reds which are fabulous. I'm lucky enough to have family who own a vineyard (but rent out) in the south of Germany and am able to drink/bring back such wine. Just take your own bottles and stoppers and collect. However, in the summer I much prefer white wine.
A New Zealand wine label 'Sanctuary' do some stunningly tasty whites with loads of flavour and depth. The Sauvignon Blanc is especially wonderful - may go and get some this morning!

8-) I had the Pinot Grigio, shared a chinese takeaway and thoroughly enjoyed them both.
TBH Chardonnay is too inspid for my taste which is why there are still 2 bottles of it.
Thanks for the help folks. Tonight I will only drink water to make up for my slippage yesterday. :cry: I'm trying to confine my alcohol consumption to one night a week and Friday night seems the perfect choice.

This isn't much help in this case, but if you buy a French wine, look on the label for 'appelation controlee'. This is the highest of the quality marks they give their wine. The lower quality wine will have 'vin de pays' or 'vin de table'.
That is my only bit of wine knowledge really.
Thanks! I rarely drink French wine and even more rarely buy it but it's something to look out for if I ever get given one.

Where's ukwineman when he's REALLY needed?

Quote by mdr2000
I prefer Pinot Grigio to Chardonnay but got a consignment of it in my last surprise mixed case delivery!
OK, as I'm going to use it as medicine then the Pinot Grigio it is - thanks.:kiss:
Blue Nun.... = medicine.
failing that be daring.. Get one huge glass... Mix them all! :cheers:
See you next week xxx
:beer: Mike x
MIX THEM?????? ! I will drink the Pinot Grigio first and may well start on one of the Chardonnays next, though I may well put another Pinot into the fridge.
:happy: :happy:

Could do with a stiff drink meself!

I'm off to the fridge, got plenty of wine in there and am just going to start right here, right now, right here, right now......
Good to see you back BTW...
I've had a BASTARD of a BITCH day made WORSE by being STUCK on the BASTARD A1 behind BASTARD lorry drivers who FUCK up the roads for miles and then BASTARD drivers who think it's CLEVER to drive at 50 BASTARD miles per hour in the OUTSIDE LANE!

Traffic monitoring - some are on the M74 when travelling from the Bonny land to England, just counting traffic.
I noticed the statistics said there was more coming out than going in

Missonary work Dave - the English need the Scots more than the Scots need the English! And we have more to give!

Average speed cameras have to have warning signs to that effect - the little ones can be a range of things, none of which are speed cameras.
Congestion monitoring
Traffic monitoring - some are on the M74 when travelling from the Bonny land to England, just counting traffic.
Blue ones on stalks are commercial traffic reporting companies (trafficmate??) who send info to PDAs or Sat Navs.
And so on....

<PERSONAL opinion follows>
I've been here for over 4 years now, since it started, and have seen more people join up and leave than I care to think about. It's the nature of the beast and will ever thus be so! A lot of those whom I regard as my closest friends I met on here but they are no longer active here, some inhabit other sites and some are not anywhere, but I keep regular contact with them, talk on the phone to them, visit them, meet them elsewhere and join in the family stuff whether good or bad or mundane.
A few weeks ago I posted about regarding the site as somewhere you 'live' - and then it changes happen and people move out, more move in and the landscape and dynamics change. Expecting things to remain static is unrealistic, otherwise we'd still be living in caves without running water or power.
If I cease to enjoy a place (pub, club, work etc) I don't go back. No point in keeping going back just to confirm how awful you knew it was!! I don't need to go to my 'favourite' pub once it's been revamped just to sit there and carp, criticise or moan on - leaving quietly is graceful!
Long live the Big Black Dalek and what he created even if both he and it are evolving!
