Well, I have a friend* whose boyfriend's sister scratches out the eyes on photographs of family members that have pissed her off in some way.


And its not as if the photos are ripped up and then thrown away either, oh no ... they stay hanging up on the wall or in photo frames with the missing eyes :-S




*its really not me

The house where-time-stands-still is just down the road from me.


I would give anything to have a tour of the place, but alas they are very private


Mind you not so private that, they close the curtains at night


Not so private that, you can't see years of christmas cards, easter cards all stuck to the walls, mounds of VHS tapes, clothes on hangers in every door way.


Not so private that, as you walk by (straining not to look too hard) their three ghostly faces are all lit by the flashing light of the TV and they sit waving out at you.


No scratched out eyes though, that's proper weird.


Thankfully, my lot here are just plain-old-fashioned-Odd-Balls


(I think)



Netts:-S

And then there's Nancy Mitford's 'Uncle Matthew', based on her father.

    • Wow, well served with local supermarkets then…  Agree with ATM.. good c position to been mugged or cloned card - prob why not been considered before. Wasn’t there one outside post office and still  is2where people were abit nervous of using? Hope I am wrong but won’t see me rushing to use it…sure lots of folk will benefit thou. Not a great fan or user of Iceland but when it closed years ago people complained..  Guess they only b look at bigger sites - can’t recall an express one but a pity to those who frequent the store. Strange that Tesco can use it as local but Iceland can’t - guess it is  power of large supermarkets. Personally would have  loved an Aldi or Lidl but  clearly site to small. Only grocery stores left to come are Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl… 
    • I'm paying £31 pcm for full fibre 300, whatever that is. I'm not sure it's a particularly good deal now, but I did a comparison at the time I went onto it, and it was then. I don't have a landline any more, and my mobile is with iD, who piggyback off 3. I don't usually have any problems,  except once a few years back when the whole 3  network (?) went  down for quite a long time.
    • I have Plusnet too.   I recently (August) had some problems with WiFi connection on different days but and the turning off and turning on didn’t work.  The WiFi didn’t work for quite a few hours - overnight in one case but eventually rectified itself.   Would be interested to know how much other people pay for Plusnet. I also have a landline with them as the mobile signal is bad inside house.  That is with EE and I want to change from them to another provider.
