They were flying past the window, above! https://youtube.com/shorts/dZBXRfjXMJA?si=CbbEuC4S_BKp-uMJ

He had horrible haggis Hagrid. H is for Hex! https://youtu.be/znZy9iEAvAw?si=1Kj1lJhF5FytVvfC

[Brian N]

Car blown onto it’s roof just 100 yds from where we live.Told you it was breezy.That said it was a Mini,wonder if a bin man was driving?

[Desperate Dan]

I do have a haggis waiting in the fridge.  Boil, fry, micro-wave, air-fry, eat, bin?  Questions questions.

[Desperate Dan]

Decision: Air-fry, eat.  Can’t share with Twiggy, probably won’t have room for the tatties.

[Desperate Dan]

Or the neeps.

[Desperate Dan]

That’s a good job because I have no idea what the neeps are.

[Brian N]

@ixan57 will probably flip his wig but it’s vegetarian haggis all the way for me.

[ixan57]

@BrianN it could be worse, some mob used to stuff the poor little thing in a tin. Think it was baxters. Spend all your winter up in the Scottish mountains then come January wallop, straight in a tin can because of some ayrshire twat that can’t even speak properly.

[Brian N]

Yeah,those poor neeps didn’t fare any better.

Starting to go off the new random Challenge a bit. Angry Birds is now undergoing a long drought and we seem to keep getting death star levels.

In the absence of that doing that I turned back to House of Games. I swear last week’s bunch were the most moronic ever seen. Queen Victoria crowned in 1917? Death Valley in Florida? The clues bard, theatre and Othello drawing a completely blank look? Richard is outwardly soooo diplomatic but he must be killing himself inside.

[HunnyBunny]

I watch House of Games too, but nothing so moronic as Tipping Point
Dear God, how did I get so old I watch afternoon TV?

[Brian N]

Anyone have any connection/log in probs with the Nest today?

Enjoyed final episode of Agency tonight ,they really cranked up the tension(opposite of moronic TV).Thankfully renewed for another season and Paramount+ have the original French show it’s based on which is supposed to be brilliant.Might give it a whirl.

I’m afraid I’m onto the US Traitors now. It’s a very different dynamic which makes it an interesting contrast. The UK version just brings members of the public who don’t know each other, other than the odd pair (e.g. mother/son, sisters). The US version has minor (mainly ghastly) celebrities from other shows (US Big Brother, Survivor, Housewives etc.). Although last year they threw John Bercow into the mix and this year it’s a minor (gay) British royal, Lord somebody or other. Anyway, they are already very cliquey and half of them hate the other half before it even starts. They have terrible grudges because somebody dissed them about 5 years ago on another show. Or they used to be married to each other, So it starts off super-bitchy. Sounds terrible but it’s just great seeing a load of cocky celebs get humiliated. All in the same Scottish castle but with Alan Cummings rather than Claudia.

[Brian N]

I think they’re renaming it the Death Star Challenge.

 

[Desperate Dan]

I was wondering – is that a different level or just the same one?

BTW my US Traitors post needed a moderation check. Was that because I just said US Traitor? I’m going to find out.

[Desperate Dan]

No not that. Poor Alan, he must get a lot of blockage.

[Desperate Dan]

Wynne Evans and Joanne Page gallivanting on Penarth pier BBC1 tonight @hunnybunny.  Not as good as Bangor pier though.

[Brian N]

Yes good job Alan doesn’t live in Scunthorpe.

Didn’t see the Challenge level yesterday just had a look at today’s and noted your comment from yesterday @desperate-dan.

[Desperate Dan]

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Or Penistone.</p>

[Desperate Dan]

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Not sure what happened there but you get my drift.</p>

[Desperate Dan]

Testing testing.

[Desperate Dan]

Apologies for all that. No idea what is going on.

[Brian N]

Fully expect @hunnybunny to chip in at this point.

Did you get your keyboard from Gremlins ‘r’ Us?

[Desperate Dan]

If the challenges are now truly random, I estimate there is a 5% chance we could go 17 days or longer without a single ABo level. It’s almost as bad as Hollydog. It’s not healthy. I’m going cold turkey. There are consequences. I could die!

Then on the other hand, I could be over-reacting.
