I have a green one of those pill holders on my keying. We eat out a lot and I have to take two pills straight afterwards. They stop gall stones forming. Several years ago I had 3 stuck in my bile duck and they got infected. That was another hospital stay, almost two weeks and 20 drip feeds of antibiotics into my arm over 5 days. I don't want to ever go through that again, it was agony.

Need the full service every year, do lots of miles. Not so many as I did when Dageus was with us but still a lot.

No subscriptions here.

I've always loved wind up clocks, have several working ones down in my Perth house. I love my old Grandfather Clock it has such a lovely deep tick. Don't have the chime on as it's a bit loud, especially during the night.

At least Andrew is getting some peace since Harry and family returned.

I've got my dad's medals.  Not so much collected, though.  More 'handed down'.

Beautiful, looks a bit like Piper the black horse I used to ride back in the 80s.

Quote from: Alex on September 09, 2026, 05:03:58 PMDoes anyone pay £5.99 a month for ITV x without the adverts ?  I paid up mainly to watch Nashville and Corrie catch up.  This morning I decided to cancel and switch to Channel 5, I went on to ITV to cancel and they dropped the price to £2.99 a month, so being the sucker that I am, I carried on subscribing.

No.  There is little to watch on ITV now in our opinions.  We watch the old Coronation Street every day it is on, but I'm damned if I will pay to avoid the adverts, especially as they are only on for 2 or 3 minutes each time, at least in this programme.

👍

I don't subscribe to anything anymore, I used to subscribe a days pay to the Regimental Charity which was a requirement on joining the regiment, RNLI ( oooh contentious there Vlad) up to about 2020. Medecins Sans Frontieres because I saw them in action once . Nice people.
I do dislike the chuggers in shopping centres etc, very aggressive young people asking for your bank details to support the charity that employs them
