this was the business- sorta.
Those were the days. Stick computer games where the sun don’t shine. Can’t beat the likes of Cross Fire.

Not a disaster as such but I said to the missus that I needed some replacements for my compact binoculars that I take with me when we go on holiday.
I end up with a set that, frankly, wouldn't look out of place mounted on the bridge of the Ark Royal and would take up half my weight allowance.
Umm, "...cheers love! I'll keep these for best I think."10 -

I had a version of crossfire with WW1 Fighters. Anybody remember it? It seems lost in the sands of time but I definitely had one and really enjoyed playing with it. My son got the new Outsmarted game as one of his presents but they had technical problems and it didn't work at all yesterday.0

That's not a bad shout actually and something I should look into...Hal1x said:

Got a CAFC keyring with a bottle opener on it. It was broken. Says it all.8

When to Ireland early in the year, brought Mrs GA a claddagh ring, not really expensive, but she liked it, it had a split band. She didn’t have it long and she lost it. So I replaced it yesterday, the same size. Told her not to loose it, probably she should get a band to go on it, to stop it coming off. Guess who lost the replacement ring? 🤬

My son and his girlfriend bought me a set of 6 Port glasses. I took them to the kitchen to unpack and put them in the dishwasher. I now have a set of 5.4

You are totally blameless there, you can tell your mrs from me, and I don’t care how many ructions this causes, but it was totally her fault for not being specific.CAFCBourne said:The mrs went back to the in-laws in France before me due to her work finishing up earlier and i still having to work. Come the day of my departure having had a couple of light ales the night before i picked up the check list. I proceed to load all items into the car including i noted the washing basket. I arrive in France proclaiming i have done my job and all items in the list are indeed in said car. The Mrs appears 5 mins later asking why the dirty washing basket is in the car and not the washing basket containing the Christmas presents. A little frosty for a while but the in-laws sore the funny side even if my dirty washing didn’t get sorted.1 -
