Simply random stuff

To most brits the concept of iced tea is an abomination. I simply can't imagine why anyone would want to drink that rather than a nice hot cuppa. The world would be a boring place if we all liked the same things. I drink Yorkshire Tea.

We dumped your tea in the harbor once....lol.

For older QQers who often reminisce about their introduction to quad being in the 1970s, did any of you embrace such sartorial splendour (and express such magnetism) as this? If so, photographic evidence would be appreciated.

I am a full blown black coffee addict. No, really. I am. I drink it 12 months per year. lol

All praise the name of Java, the mystic maid of the morn, who doth restore life upon the somnolent.

Never had a leisure suit, but I played Larry’s video game (Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards) many, many times. I got within one point of max score.

And that was cold too, once you'd dumped it in the harbour.

Anyone else think that “I Just Want to Celebrate” by Rare Earth is a Grand Funk song that never happened?

Well, that’s half the equation for me…

Pay wall!

Sorry. I have no control over that.

It's just business.

I have a lot of respect for R.E.M. knowing when it was time to quit.

Saw them in a tiny club when they were just a college band touring in a van & sleeping on floors, but they had an EP and first album out.

Chronic Town, Poster Torn...

What I spent my day doing, being mostly housebound right now.

Power cord for 8 HDD's. All sleeved, plugged in and working.
Although in this pic I had two wires reversed. Memory not what it used to be when I did this stuff all the time.
Yes my psu has enough power to go 8 drives on one connector.
This cord covers two specific drive cages.

Coffee is the (a) miracle drug. And legal. Think of that.

 

[mandrix]

What I think is, politicians and/or anyone else shouldn't be able to tell me what I can/can't take for chronic pain. Legally.
I was doing quite well on the (then) legal meds I was taking until the pols over reacted and started a whole new industry in "pain management". What f'n joke.
Have a glass of wine with dinner? Uh-uh. Alcohol stays in your system for 10 days. Pot? Nope got to pay some hack a bunch of bucks to get a "pot card". Don't have one? Then when you get drug tested at the "pain management" clinics then you're out.
I told them to f off, and thanks but no thanks.
Told the VA the same thing years ago. They can all kiss my old ass.

Great carpet, love all the puppies! Wait, on a second look I think they're bears. Can you confirm?

It's a "doggie" blanket on the bed for my two little ones. I think they are bears?
