Morning, well the weather forecaster on look north called it sea fret, it’s more like thick fog, shopping ,car washing, cycling
Have a good day0 -
Storms in Cornwall in the early hours meant wet and muddy walk with the hounds. Now drinking tea and deciding on where to run0

Another day of work, at least it won't be quite as sweaty after the rain overnight. Now got got couple of days of on/off thunderstorms to look forward to. Garden ould do with some water, mind you.
Also much relief here after Stropteen got the grades to get her preferred uni place. They downgraded her in one subject but it was more than enough anyway. Bloody UCAS website crashed but at least the school sent an email bang on time.

Well done to stropteen! Tramp grade ciders all round!0

Morning folks,
Somewhat moist out this morning, still warm of course. Traditional Thursday morning mild hangover is in evidence.
Congratulations Sptropteen. We too will be celebrating, she went in to get the results and was so nervous she threw up before going in. Then she rang me in tears which was a worry until I realised they were happy tears, what a relief.Stevo_666 said:

Hurrah for V68's daughter too!1

Well done to all those whose strop-teans, little angels and what not got the grades they needed. Commiserations to those that didn't.
UCAS website went down and is now very slow so call volume very low. I'm stuck here on a 07:00-20:00 shift so i'm hoping they fix the website in time for tomorrow when i'm not here!0 -
I've just got a stroppy teen.
Mild hangover here too, a few pints followed by a strong V & T at home has left me in a daze.

Yeah to v68 & Stevo for producing smart kids0

Well done to V Junior. Like you say, relief is the main feeling just now we got the result.veronese68 said:Morning folks,

Mine seems totally not fussed about it all. Didn't even get out bed in time for the 8am e-mail..."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
Good luck with that DHL and thanks for the top tips yesterday. She didn't really have a plan B apart from resits, so doubly relieved.darkhairedlord said:Well done to all those whose strop-teans, little angels and what not got the grades they needed. Commiserations to those that didn't.

Despite being v68 & Stevo they produced smart kids
Some silly sod mangled themself in a Porker and wasn't wearing a seatbelt so gave themself a flying lesson which held us up on the wood run.
So we did a Uee and got a BLT, Coffee cake and Coffee whilst we waited.
Said bloke got another flying lesson in a chopper.
it's 'ot.

Thought you were talking about yourself for a moment, glad you weren't especially after the conversation about bouncing.pinno said:

Raining here now and rather cooler. Went for celebratory pub lunch with the family, thankfully rain held off until we'd finished.
In a bizarre bit of symmetry the female child got the same results boy child did, even over the 2 sujects they did that were the same. The lad had been the only kid in the school to get an A* on photography, really irritated her as they'd show his work as an example of how to do things. Now the girl is the second one to achieve it, and she had a very different technique to him. Well chuffed.0 -

A level photography! My things are different from back in my day, etc etc 😊
Congratulations to da kidz. Those who didn't get screwed over by the system, I was listening to the discussion on the lunchtime news R4. What a cludge of a process that sounded.0 -
Psychology at uni, did A levels in psychology, math's and photography which is quite a range.Stevo_666 said:

I'm trying to work out whether I love or hate that apostrophe. It certainly isn't possessive, but it could be indicating the missing "ematic". I am unsure. Are there any people out there who have a higher level of grammatical pedantry than me?
Cooled down a bit here post electric storm this afternoon.
Made Burmese chicken noodle soup for dinner. Was pretty damn good, though I say it myself.

A comma after 'but' only when it is connecting two independent clauses.

We do indeed like Birdland.
Is a good thing after a full on working day (physical work see all you desk and mouse jockeys) bar the CK wittering to have a couple beers while watching Dauphine S2 on catch up with no gambling adverts. No spoilers please.0 -
Phone put the apostrophe in, I wouldn't have bothered normally. But it's an abbreviation so technically correct I thought. At least it isn't math in the singular.hopkinb said:I'm trying to work out whether I love or hate that apostrophe. It certainly isn't possessive, but it could be indicating the missing "ematic".
