I once woke up to find myself lying on double yellow lines in a lorry loading bay. Not a very comfortable. However, I was lucky that it was a Sunday morning and there were no deliveries.
Ha ha, excellent.
I've had so many confused awakenings, including waking in a corridor of the wrong building when on a skiing holiday.

I'd have gone for the sucking the moisture up while sleeping approach. I don't mean with my mouth, in some deviant like manner. I mean by osmosis through the skin. That's what I'd say to myself to justify doing nothing about it before jumping into the scratcher.
Depends how warm the room is, it's not nice waking up cold and wet 😉

Update on the can over the bed situation, I fessed up and my sister said don’t worry because she was planning on washing the sheets anyway 😂 🙉
Small wet patch like that, I'd have just got the hair dryer out...again.

i don't think they are and don't think many yanks will either, its the land of money where money talks or stops the talk.
I refer the honourable gentleman to my previous statement to the house "Two-thirds of registered voters say Trump’s hush money charges are serious".
Ergo, you don't know what they think.

that's just another sign of how much they've lost the plot.
You're suggesting that hush money charges aren't serious?

Just a Couple of Mums hearted my question about Glasto 24! Niche I know but always great fun!
Not at all niche, a few years ago we ducked into the Spike on a day that had been a bit damp, lovely drinks plus their happy vibe and tunes was a real tonic.

"Two-thirds of registered voters say Trump’s hush money charges are serious"
"When it comes to the 2024 presidential election, 41% of registered voters say that they would vote for President Joe Biden, and 37% of registered voters say they would vote for Donald Trump if the election was held today."

If that’s the case then she’s in the clear as there is a time limit of a year after the offence and this supposed one was 10 years ago. I doubt it’ll be enough though for the Tories/RW until they hound a working class woman out of her position.
Indeed.
Funny how this minor story has dominated this thread as tediously as the media

I’m thinking of moving to Tidal, I’ve been thinking about it for a while as they give more to artists than Spotify. I didn’t know about the arms investment. With the new Spotify price hike the Tidal family service will be £3 a month cheaper for the lower res option.
How does Tidal cope in the car? Do the higher res audio streams mean you are more likely to drop audio as you drive through areas of poor signal?
Maybe the answer is in that thread!
1. I stream it regularly in the car without issue, eg I've been using it for a 2024 playlist this week that gigpusher created. But I live in a fairly rural area, so for my favourite playlist, which is very large, I just leave the download button set, so that one would always play anywhere.
2. If you're a cheapskate, several of the providers don't block you signing up via vpn and paying with revolut (or other means that don't charge a fee) for vastly reduced monthly fees - https://www.hotukdeals.com/share-deal-from-app/4309923

Zutons, Marble Factory in Bristol.
Put on a good show and had a very receptive audience.

kin'ell man we going to go back and go through everything about every single politician to find anything that could be perceived as dodgy? Good job I never went into politics.
Oh no, not every single politician.
It's the tories getting desperate in election year and perpetually trying to distract the news agenda from the sh*t filled rivers, national debt, massive donations from racists, etc etc ad infinitum. -

Interesting that they didn't demolish the Colston Hall (which might have moved the issue forwards) but re-named it instead. It's the same f**king building and most people I know still call it by it's original name.
The victorian carcass of the building was sound and was what they built the new venue around.
I don't know anyone that uses the old name, but there are a lot of whining old bigots in Bristol who bang on about it, but never went anyway.

I think you'll find that these days they would just offer a shrug at best -

Not suggesting it's a perfect system.
But there'll be some validity to it - not a guaranteed win by any means but it'd certainly massively help the odds.
I'm not convinced it's any more refined than Veruca Salt's method, which I've double checked and relied on her dad getting his factory workers to open loads of bars 😊

just want to say that British heart foundation is £450 richer today, after i went on a furniture buying spree for my new flat in their bristol shop.
i feel good for reusing stuff and BHF benefitting rather than buying new tat from amazon (my original plan). just about all sorted now for my big move next week.
Good luck with the move 😊

Not as good as previous years. Cyndi should’ve been there and not on the pyramid.
Didn't she already headline it before and people worry about popular acts in that field?
She could go down very well on the Pyramid

While you couldn't guarantee anything, there is a couple things that could be checked without opening the bar to try and identify winning bars.
Firstly, just the feel - if you've got "hands on" a few different bars, then it's possible that one of them just feels slightly different with the extra piece of card inside. That's what I reckon happened with that video - they probably guessed that this felt different and so got the phone out to record in case it really was a winnner (if it's not that, then they were recording themselves on probably less than a 0.01% chance in which case I despair of the world).
Secondly, weight. If someone (which obviously would have to be a shop worker) can put each bar on the scales, then they should all be within a couple grams of each other - so the extra bit of card will probably add enough overall to make a winning bar the heaviest in the batch. It won't be enough that's perceptible to a normal person picking it up, but I'd assume most branches have decent quality scales to hand that can be quite precise.
But tbh even within all that - given the number of Oxfam shops out there, the chances that any one of them even has a winning bar to start with is slightly less than 1% so I doubt it'd be worth going to that trouble to start with.
I think you'd need yog's specialist scales and to have done a control to check the weight of regular bars are always 180g.
The ticket is probably only going to add 2.5% to the weight and that's for decent quality paper.

Beggars can't be choosers when it comes to Glastonbury tickets. 🙂
Absolutely, arriving at the festival with the sun out, despite having travelled to O2 London purely to get a coach back to the West Country, still felt fabulous.

I was intending to move to Qobuz earlier in the year for the same reasons but apathy let me down.
Apparently unlike several of their competitors that one is very proficient at blocking vpn subscriptions

not a chance of any fraud happening or going to happen .... ive just opened one of those bars and theres no chance of seeing anything without opening it fully , the odds are pretty long in this competition anyway and even longer that someone manages to sneak open a bar thats placed by the till and find those hardly found golden tickets without anyone noticing . wrap it back up and then hand it to a staff member to scan once already opened
Tbh I like that its the opportunity to support a decent cause, I can get a couple of treats to give to family (they all very much like the chocolate) and there's a tiny frisson of excitement that it may contain a special surprise.

I actually meant Labour minister, not Tory in that original post.
With Wragg, he's quit hasn't he? I actually feel a bit sorry for him, just a sh*tty way to end a career in politics. It would be a sh*tty way for Rayner's career to end too, but them's the breaks as some tit once said.
You shouldn't feel any sympathy whatsoever for him:-
1. When threatened he should have contacted security, he didn't and therefore did not follow the security process and made the issue far worse.
2. He permitted a photo revealing further security information - https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/william-wragg-accidentally-lets-office-wifi-password-slip-during-photoshoot-372239/
Many of us would be marched off site in our employers for doing this, yet he's still getting well paid, has been supported by many colleagues in interviews and even if he leaves will get very handsome parachute payments.-
