Eloise (& Brad) online

• You leave gigs before the encore to “beat the rush”.
• You get more excited about having a roast on a Sunday than going clubbing.
• Before throwing the local paper away, you look through the property section.
• You prefer Later with Jools Holland to Top of the Pops.
• Before going out anywhere, you ask what the parking is like.
• Rather than throw a knackered pair of trainers out, you keep them because they’ll be all right for the garden.
• You buy your first ever T-shirt without anything written on it.
• Instead of laughing at the innovations catalogue that falls out of the newspaper, you suddenly see both the benefit and money saving properties of a plastic winter cover for your garden bench and an electronic mole repellent for the lawn. Not to mention the plastic man for the car to deter would-be thieves. Continue Reading »

Yesterday the Coles and the Selwoods had planned to meet up in Northampton to see the rugby, however due to illness the Coles were unable to attend. The blow was slightly softened by the fact that the match was on Sky Sports and Bristol won 14-8. (see BBC match report)

We are not having much luck trying to watch Bristol and Northampton play rugby, earlier in the year we were ready to go to see the match in Bristol (complete with hangovers from the night before) only to find that the match has been cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch.

However the match has been re-scheduled for 25th March and hopefully there will be another win for Bristol.

In a further development of the rugby team rivalry between Bryan and Brad, there was a discovery early on Friday afternoon of a Saints sticker on Brad’s front bumper.

Initial findings suggest that this was put on the car the same time as the tax disc holder & air freshener.

For further information on this please see my previous post - Bryan 2 - Brad 1

We all have some; that stuff that’s too good to throw out, or that might come in useful one day. I have a plan to try and de-clutter our house, whether it works or not is another question. 

I recently came across a site called Freecycle.  Freecycle groups match people who have things they want to get rid of with people who can use.  Everything posted must be free, legal and appropriate for all ages.

You simply post the details of an item you want rid of (or you want), people email you if they are interested (or have got what you are looking for), you then select the person you want to give the item to.  One of the benefits is that it is up to the person who wants the item to collect it, so no struggling to get large items to the tip or paying expensive postage for an item you are selling on ebay.

Before I put it on Freecycle we have a 3 seater sofa up for grabs, if any one is interested?

Take One

Two engineering students were walking across a university campus when one said, “Where did you get such a great bike?”
The second engineer replied, “Well, I was walking along yesterday, minding my own business, when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike, threw it to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, “Take what you want.”
The second engineer nodded approvingly and said, “Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn’t have fitted you anyway.”
