I took this photo 4 days ago and I can’t stop thinking about the depth of the lustre on this varnish. My kids did not appreciate it in the slightest, but I hope this registers on the dull-ometer.
I guess it’s normal for boats to receive this level of loveliness, but perhaps less common on the windowsill of a butchers (even in Salcombe)

I have a corgi named Turkey. I did not name him, he came with that name. He’s had a hard enough life before I got him that I think changing his name is unnecessary stress for him, despite feeling absolutely absurd when other grown adults ask me my dogs name and I have to respond that it’s Turkey. I think he might have gotten his name because of his little turkey legs always sticking out from under the couch, photo below. A corgi has always been my dream breed of dog, and I love him so much. I got him in June this year, from a very kind couple who found him abandoned in the woods for god only knows how long. They took fantastic care of him but he needed a home with more time for him and I feel so lucky every day that he’s my doggo now.
But, the point of this post, this little long dog, oh my god, how can he pull so hard? How the heck can a corgi be SO STRONG? I swear he can’t be more than 35 pounds. We’ll go on a (leashed, because without one he just goes and goes and gets scared and keeps going) walk and he’s suddenly like ‘LOL WE’RE RUNNING’ when we are in fact not running and I almost eat s**t every time. He’s so happy when he does it too and then huffs at me that I am not also running suddenly in that moment. I think it’s that looooong body of his and little legs like he has the best leverage and PULLS so strong. I must look so funny being yanked by a corgi lmao. He walks so good with me when my 5 year old daughter is in school but on weekends when we all walk together he’s so hype and happy he forget any and all manners and his speed cannot be inhibited.
I swear this dog pulls so much harder than my first dog, he was a biiiig pitbull. Nope, those little legs and long body of a corgi are optimal for pullage. He is lightning, he is speed. He should be lightning McQueen for Halloween.
His speed is not cohesive with the dull walks I want to have. When my daughter is in school, we have wonderfully long, very dull, walks. How they should be.
(Side note: he does get many opportunities to run, he is a dog and needs to be a dog so he isn’t a velociraptor.
And yes we’ve tried many a harness, he uses them to his advantage and pulls so much more. Still need to try the clip on the chest though)
This is how we end our posts right? First time posting. 27 years old, shoe size 8 in Vans and Crocs, as those are the only acceptable footwear for my autism.

I found myself cleaning my daughter's parade shoes last weekend, using the RAF technique of wetting the cloth, dabbing on the polish and buffing to bring the shoe up to a good shine. Apparently you should be able to see your face reflected in the shine.
I decided to look at my old Dubarry boots as I hadn't polished them in the 20+ years I've had them. It took most of the weekend and half a pot of brown polish to get to the midway stage. I kept dabbing a small amount of wax into a wet cloth, rubbing it into the leather, let it dry and then a quick polish. Eventually it became difficult to get new wax to stick to the boot.
I realised at this point that perhaps the polish was a bit light, so got some dark brown polish instead.
Another 10 coats of shoe wax and some buffing later, I now have a shiny pair of boots that used to look like they were raw suede.
I decided to fulind out how much a new pair of boots are, and discovered that a couple of houraeand a pot of polish comes to 1% of the replacement cost. Time well spent, I think.
First picture is when I decided to change polish colour.... second picture is the current article.

Not long ago, while looking at some old photos at my mothers, I found my kindergarten report card. I'm 42 now.
Surprisingly I think it's nearly all still true to this day.
Apparently my teacher had me well figured out.
(Except I think I've gotten the hang of hearing letter sounds in words at least.)
My circles still suck.
Pleasing everyone still a very heavy load to carry.
And I most certainly should never be left unsupervised.
That teacher deserved a raise.

Sorry for another north/south divide post but as a Geography teacher I had to step in as most of the posts have been inaccurate and posted by people who clearly didn’t pay attention in lesson or those who stupidly picked History for their GCSE 🤔
This is the official north/south divide in the UK and is based on a range of socio-economic indicators such as GDP per capita, life expectancy, literacy rates etc.
However, seeing as I live on the South Coast everyone is a northerner to me (Ironically in Hastings which has more in common socio-economically with the north)

This lime has been in my fruit basket since 2014 and it's not going anywhere any time soon. It's almost weightless and would shatter like glass if dropped.

You may have seen a post several days ago where I had lamented my wife’s lack of success with mosquito repellants. There were hundreds of comments and likes and I would like to thank each and every one of you who suggested things to try and help. I have grouped these suggestions into an Excel spreadsheet and weighted some of the most popular choices by adding the ‘likes’.

As a dull man and former tradesman, I pride myself on pointing out when gates are hung the wrong way round.
31, size 9 owing to wide feet.

Morning folks I'm Toto and I live in Kenya (yes that's Africa). We've been having unprecedented rain here for the last 3 weeks, so in a fit of excessive expenditure I decided to purchase for the first time in my life an umbrella. Naturally I wanted the greyest possible, but sadly none to he found in either of the stores I frequent - yes there are other stores but my weak heart can't cope with that sort of adventure. The options of multi patterned or alternate colour/white panels were far too much, but luckily I found one which my colleague described as brown. I personally think of it as beige, reminding me of those gloriously dull 1970's British Leyland cars my rich neighbours had back in day. I can now stand in the rains in Africa, humming that tune by Rhianna and her popular beat combo, although lyrically I prefer the vuvuzela song excepting the R Kelly reference (Radio Five Live 2010 World Cup). M53, size 9 trainers or 10 in Meindl walking boots, living the dream but not the dream I originally had 🤔

I figure my father in law must be a man worthy of this group. Here is a pic of the recently replaced clutch in his 1993 Toyota Landcruiser. A vehicle he bought new, He was wanting to get over the magic half million km mark, but with logistics it was decided that 497,500km was best. As you can see, it's not exactly worn out, and that is a function of both sensible driving, and not living in a city. He only recently replaced the front disc rotors for the first time, and the vehicle is still sporting every suspension bushing that it left the factory with. The engine burns negligible oil between 5000km services, and will probably outlast religion.

Much to my wife's chagrin, I have a colour warning system that announces any potential kitchen roll stock level emergencies in our home.
Yellow - last roll opened.
Amber - down to less than half a roll.
Red - NONE LEFT AT ALL - SHOP NOW ⚠️⚠️⚠️
I called a Yellow day before last and, as usual, the wife mocked me and said we'd best call the police 😒
Then early yesterday I shouted we're on an Amber after an overzealous Vimto pouring incident by my 5 year old son. Again the warning was overlooked and several tutts came my way.
But low and behold I was right as around 8.40pm last night we hit our first Red warning since March last year (still raw, don't want to talk about it 😢).
Granted, toilet paper could do a job in some situations, but knowing there wasn't any here meant I tossed and turned all night.
Managed to restock today, and I'm relieved to announce there were no serious spillages, heavy nose blows or toothpaste on the side of my children's mouths before school this morning.
PHEW 😮‍💨
It's not worth running out, please, please check your own stock now and don't risk it 👍
