I swear by Nasol. It won't cure an ongoing problem but of all the decongestants I've tried it works the fastest.

I think being in a good relationship helps as long as it's not stifling. I'm lucky in that respect; we give each other some room.

Agreed, but if you enjoy gardening, appreciate single malts or craft beer and go cycling you'll be pretty much emulating them in your own style.

In my opinion there is no such thing as boredom. A lively, interesting person is never bored. There's always a place to visit, a sky to be watched, a book to be read. The secret is variety and finding pleasure, even in the mundane.

In Western countries you pay into a State Pension for 30-40 years and get a small proportion back on a weekly basis and pay 20% tax on the money. That's more the realty. Pensions earned are based on contributions paid not age. Frozen pensions become nominal very quickly.

You send your wife out to do surveys on gay issues? Lol. Unlikely. I mean everybody knows the people in Isaan are suffering terribly because of gay people. If only they stopped waving their flags the economy would recover. Ah, and the old "shoving it down my throat" nonsense and the "keep it to yourself nonsense". So tiresome.

Just to be clear, are you saying that gays are perverts?

What a horrible way to go. Nobody deserves that.

Funnily enough I was sitting there just a while ago, peering up at the sky and looking at all the stars spread like pieces of quicksilver across black velvet. In awe, I watched the waxing moon ride across the zenith of the heavens like a winged chariot towards the ebony void of infinite space, wherein the tethered belts of Jupiter and Mars hang, forever festooned in their orbital majesty. And as I looked at all this I thought... I must put a roof on this toilet.

Sorry to hear about the accident, BMT. Hope you recover speedily.

You're so kind.

Intellect? Lol. You asked a question of me. I responded with an answer and a link to an example which, by your admission you didn't bother to watch. Hardly the sign of a great intellect and very tiresome. 🙂 As for Alex O'Connor being a nobody, he has almost 300 videos discussing at length moral and philosophical issues and has over 600T subscribers so your insult is unwarranted.

I really don't have the patience or the crayons to explain it to you.

It doesn't surprise me.

I was alluding to one of Peterson's methods of deflecting questions which invite ridicule. Alex O'Connor discusses it here. There's a good example about 30 seconds in.

Sex?

Yes, this and Spirits (Having Flown).

Fabulous song and album.

The amazing Colin Blunstone with a love song about the sheer joy of returning home to his beloved. Absolutely epic.

Just check your State Pension is shown on your Govt. Gateway account. They will then collect tax by adjusting your code. You will only have to file a self-assessment if you have non-pension income above the allowable thresholds.

I guess that's deafening karoake until 4am out here in the sticks. Lovely.

I agree. There are some phabulous (sic) German and Belgian beers. Weihenstephaner really seem to be getting the hang of it now. ???? I like all their beers. Asahi and Kirin are o.k. Can't beat Fullers ESB or their Porter. Lots of good beers and plenty of rough ones about.

Where do you drink for God's sake? ????
