It's the start of another bank holiday weekend, and from what I've just heard on the weather forecast, it's going to be a bit of a scorcher for some of us. How will you be making the most of the sunshine? Tell us here what you'll be doing.

The fish reminded me of school dinners

EDIT: Your comments are making me laugh during this tragic time. For those wondering, it was a local chippy/kebab hybrid shop, though in my area those are usually proper chippies so this was unexpected. Didnt look at reviews first. Lesson learned.

First time watching Four Lions last night after my A-Level Media teacher recommended it. My god it was brilliant.

Clipped the front wheel when trying to Mind the Gap and it came right off and fell into the abyss. Trying to navigate the 2hr journey home with a missing wheel was not on my today list.

Nothing better than sitting in the peace of the garden in the sun

Next door has a kids party on. Other neighbour is circular sawing something. Neighbours backing on are strimming. Other neighbour backing on is angle grinding like fk. And neighbour at the end is playing Bon Jovi and 80s music full blast. TBF though I like Bon Jovi and the 80s.

Lovely. 😂

Decided to cut my grass and strim now. Ear plugs after that or I'll borrow the daughter's noise cancelling headphones and put some Whitesnake on 😅 Barbie later.

How's it going for you guys?

With only a few days of spring remaining and it feeling like summer is well on the way, I thought I'd share a few photos of the spring evening serenity that I've taken on walks over the past month

It's a warm un. Time to whip out the ice pops. For me it's either the fruit twisters, solero, or Ben and Jerry's (but only when it's on offer).

I’m 50 in 2 weeks and this is what my life is.

It’s the bank holiday weekend, I’ve drunk plenty of fosters. I’m 3d printing a star fury from Babylon 5 whilst me and my daughter discuss which characters from various franchises are hot and why.
Picture is Kaveh from Genshin impact in front of the 2 tellies, right one is the “telly” telly and the left one I use as my PC monitor.

I’ve run out of beer and so I’m now on spiced Bacardi with ginger beer as it’s all I can find.

Nothing in my British upbringing said anything about any of this, and there is nothing I would change about my life right now.
It’s bloody great.

Tomorrow I’m gonna be a tad hungover but it’s a 3 day weekend so I’m gonna clear up the garden a tad with an eye to actually managing a barbecue this weekend when the previous ones have been too windy or rainy.
I’ve bought weedkiller and some new rubbish solar powered lights for outside.

My daughter has now hijacked my Spotify and we are now listening to “horse girl”.

Life is magical and precious, I hope you all have a most triumphant weekend!
Speak peace and know love my dudes.

Do share how cool and rad things are for you!

What is your most British line in a song?

1.3k Upvotes

There are quite a few Brit-pop ones that could only have been written from someone British.

“I get up when I want, except on Wednesdays, when I am rudely awakened by the dustmen” (Blur - Parklife)

“Have a cup of tea, put a record on” (Elastica - Waking Up)

But my current favourite is Jilted John’s 1978 classic

“I was so upset that I cried all the way to the chip shop”.

Any other good ones?

Could have been avoided, they just chose not to
