_Rumour_

  1. Of course I didn't put on sun screen, this is Scotland, the only things we keep in the medicine cabinet is pills, liqueur & bandages.
  2. My arms are unbelievably sun-burnt. This is why I don't go outside! D: I resemble a well dressed lobster, bloody UV rays.
  3. @cameronMstewart I loved you right up until you made the iComment :')
  4. @cameronMstewart You have become the comic-book Buddha, giving away all your possessions, this is 21st century spirituality right here :')
  5. @iAkishiil Usually my policy but 'Greedy' is also on TV and it's easier to have that as back-ground noise than LOTR, problem solved :)
  6. @ConorDA Such as? :)
  7. I sit down to start drafting a new short story, Lord of The Rings II comes on TV. It's like God, and SKY, just don't want me to write.
  8. They are playing stuff from West Side Story! I may weep I'm so pleased :D
  9. @richardgeorge93 Each to their own :) Doubles rather than Mount Doom for me personally.
  10. As a bass clarinet player I can't not love the music from 'The Third Man', bloody catchy walking bass line.
  11. @richardgeorge93 Blasphemy! The 16 is like dish-water and the 18 is like borax. Barrel quality before age in whiskey :)
  12. I love 'Movie Night' on classic FM, they played the theme from The Godfather earlier & now they're playing The Charge Of The Light Brigade.
  13. Terrible news for wine and lager drinkers though, that's what you get for drinking rubbish. There's a reason I bleed whiskey.
  14. Just reviewed the passed bill for minimum charge on alcohol per unit here in Scotland, Glenfiddich 12yr whiskey is not affected. Hallelujah!
  15. Time to lie out in the hammock in the sun, I have 2 books to get through today, the radio is, as usual, my reading companion.
  16. @foxhops Poor impulse control and mind boredom is my main reasons but I can see how anxiety may contribute :)
  17. Sitting out on the decking with my father, eating popcorn for dinner & discussing our favourite murders, in order of brutality :)
  18. Hacking all your hair off is so bloody satisfying, I don't know why I don't do this more often.
  19. Downside to working outside: chain smoking. I go through 10 a day but as soon as it's sunny I'm smoking 30 like it's high-school again.
