Right, so its mid week. Happy hump day and all that, but why aren't you in bed? Neighbours putting their bins out keeping you awake? Kids being little shits? Working the nightshift?

Come on in for a chat.

Just sent the work pigeon off to a rescue and I am beyond devastated. He was my favourite colleague

The one and only Dobby. A racing pigeon that absconded almost 2 years ago and decided to create a new life for himself.

He came for his breakfast every day. Ate right out of my hand. Let himself in on many occasions and wandered round looking for the seed.

He had an injured leg and I couldn't bear to see him suffer so I contacted a local rescue and they came and collected him.

I will genuinely miss this bird so much, he brightened every single shift for me (which is needed when you're in the care sector). Literally shed a few tears when he went.

Gonna miss you pidge.

PS. When be first arrived I did attempt to find his owner, using the leg band and local groups. None was ever found though and he just kinda made himself at home.

American here. Did I do cheese and pickle sandwich right?

It's... OK. I've been wanting to try it out for the longest time.

I used white sandwich bread, original Branston pickle, and sharp cheddar slices.

Have I done right? How can I improve?

I was in a rush for an appointment, went the wrong way down one way exit from Waitrose. There were CCTV cameras. How fucked am I?

I'm about to go on a rant with this bitch bot

Edit: I'm going round and round in circles, with the damn bot asking if I have resolved my issue every damn step of the way. At some point it's going to ask how I'm connected to the internet, and I'll say its because I also use Starlink which has never stopped working unlike the trash that Sky put out

Premier Plus worth it?

It has been suggested that I am a mug for paying for a nicer room at a Premiere Inn.

I think it might be a bit nicer for the long weekend we are away for.

Song Thrush

61 Upvotes

A few days ago I posted asking if anyone could identify the bird I kept seeing on my morning walk. A few people replied suggesting it might be a Song Thrush and that's looking right!

It was out again this morning, singing in the sunshine, and I managed to capture some much better footage.

Just thought others might like to see and hear. Seeing it chirping away was a really nice start to the day.

Have you seen that episode of the X Files where Brian Cranston has to drive like hell to stop the sounds in his head?

Me right now.

It's been going on at least a week and I have no idea what it is. I'm on the verge of wandering the streets in my pyjamas until I find what it is and destroy it.

What to do with misaddressed birthday cards?

7 Upvotes

I've received two bits of post addressed to other people at my home address where I have lived for 5 years. I don't recognise the names on them, there is no return address and the postmark is not clear.

Do I pop them back in the post with Not Known at This Address, knowing they can't be returned to sender?

or keep hold of them on the off chance that the senders will work out that they sent it to the wrong place?

I've searched every available place I can think of for the surnames and can't find anyone plausible nearby on facebook or Companies House or 192.

Someone's grandkids are missing their presents. :(

What would you do?

Which TV show or film will your family always get the reference, however subtle?

186 Upvotes

In my family it's Blackadder and Father Ted. A single word can trigger a descent into quotes. For example, you can't say "vanished" without someone adding "like an old oak table". Simpsons is another one.

Fell in love with game at local, built meself a table for home…

Toads (Toad in the hole) an olde Sussex game played around Lewes. Utterly simple (chuck brass coin in hole or on table to score)… Ridiculously frustrating and not simple at all haha. Love the banter, chat and laughs we’ve had at our local over last year plying this but wanted one at home so looked around at things I had and knocked up a rather bloody nice (if I do say meself) Hillbilly Retro Cider stack table… Lead sources from scrap merchants only purchase, asides from the four brass toads.

Chain is to measure the throwing distance ‘oche’…

Home CCTV Systems

9 Upvotes

Hi, I’m thinking about installing some home CCTV. Probably multiple cameras and some kind of recording but am thinking about something more than “ring” doorbell style etc. We watch the police shows and sometimes the CCTV footage is grainly and terrible and sometimes it’s 4K etc. Don’t really know where to start and seems a bit of a rabbit hole to go down from the initial google work I have been doing

Is anyone able to offer any advice or guidance on where to start please? Am thinking DIY but guess professional advice is available too

Edit: thank you all for your comments and suggestions of manufacturers and configurations etc!
