Aw no, don't! I was being silly. A saveloy is a sausage from the fish and chip shop:

Aw, you shouldn't have said. I very much doubt she'd have got to the point of actually having it served up in front of her before putting two and two together. The face would be a picture and the wonderment very strong

That means they're fresh and healthy to eat!

I eat the blackberries straight off the canes at work, you've got to be quick before the birds get to them!

The gaming pc is specially built for flight sim, so I needed 10TB of storage in it, and a fast processor, I upped the spec by about Â£600 from the base price.

It is a:

i9 processor water cooled and overclocked
32gb memory
2 x solid state drives - 500gb & 2TB
1 x 8TB hard drive
10gb Nvidia 3080 graphics card

If I went for the 24gb graphics card they are Â£2,500 on their own!

And I have had to buy a new monitor to go with as 2 are better than 1 with this system.

maybe she hasn't seen it yet

Rocket Spud · #**3007** 19th August 2022, 22:41

Maybe she's already had it. I mean, she's a relative newb to our culture, vulnerable, impressionable, desperate to fit in. It's a possibility. And this is what she gets from one of the most decent people i've happened to read text of for the past 10+yrs....

biscuits · #**3008** 20th August 2022, 09:26

Oh nooooo. Don't say that! I was being silly to BFG - I didn't think anyone would think it's a real recipe. Now I'm worried that the recipe has been made. Why am I calling it 'the recipe' like it can be found in a Delia Smith cookery book

. Mmmm yes, the fine British delicacy of blackberries, salt, vinegar and a saveloy...

I looked up recipes and sausages and blackberries is actually a thing!

aww

that's really sweet. I think?

You're not so bad yourself

Rocket Spud · #**3009** 20th August 2022, 14:38

^ There you go - throw in a bit of sage and your recipe will workout fine

I'm trying to imagine that traybake idea and i just can't see those two tastes (sausage/blackberry) working out. Seems a waste when there are better sausage/fruit combos (i think.... ? Apple?)

Ha, thanks, it's a nice thing, trust.

So it's like a sausage with blackberries inside? TBH I think it could work. My old job sold sausage with fruit in it and it was pretty good.

Oh that sounds amazing, I'm so jelly.

That graphics card wow!!!! Yes! You need another monitor, it's a total game changer.

Yessss from what my work sold in the Butcher's section, they had sausage with apple, sausage with apricot, and sausage with... Blueberry I think? Surprisingly good. Very breakfasty type sausage.

I want to see how sensory toys are.

^ I have a ring that has a star on it and it can twirl round the ring. It's a fiddle ring for anxiety. I have lost it at the moment - I lose everything.

I often have things to fiddle with. It helps me when I'm talking and if I need to focus on something. I used to chew on things like the end of pens, but stopped doing that during the pandemic.

Council tax, water, mortgage, car tax, motorbike tax. Do they count as things I've bought? First of the month sucks.

Orange hair dye! I'm so ready for spooky season

And a choker with a pentagram on it

Stepford · #**3015** 3rd September 2022, 22:53

A pot from Waitrose (no I'm not posh).

Now all I have to figure out is how I want to control my water feature pump and lights. Shame there's a global chip shortage meaning prices for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4's are horrendous if you can even find one.

Nice! You must post a pic of your hair when they're done

. I remember I had a 'serious' book of white witchcraft when a teenager. I never got the guts to try any spell though

Hollie · #**3018** 4th September 2022, 17:30

^^ Tis done!

I've dyed the front orange and the rest is black, I'm pretty pleased with it. You're a red panda after my own heart, that book sounds so fun

I had similar when I was younger and am still obsessed with ouija boards, tarot cards, anything like that. I just love the aesthetic and find it so entertaining

biscuits · #**3019** 4th September 2022, 18:42

Your hair looks amazing :D. I also love how you've got flashes of orange running through the brown.

(Which shade/brand of brown do you use?)

Hollie · #**3020** 4th September 2022, 19:06

^ aww thank you muchly biscuits

I did the front orange in a kinda egirl money piece style (like this photo I found on google)

and the rest is black, when I curl it they kinda mix together (and the black is a bit faded over my natural brown). I used crazy colour natural black for the back, and a mix of their yellow/orange/red dyes for the front

SFC01 · #**3021** 4th September 2022, 19:35

A school bag, or what looked like a large handbag for my daughter, and some black nike air force 1s for my son. Apparently they are the only trainers allowed to be worn at school in place of shoes!!

Or have I just been mugged off !

and some tesco baked beans for me.

Percy · #**3022** 4th September 2022, 19:40

Love the hair hollie

Hollie · #**3023** 4th September 2022, 20:13

Thank you percy

it feels very seasonal hehe

Amara 94 · #**3024** 10th September 2022, 23:31

A rains backpack. Looks maybe plain but after buying my last bag a few weeks ago and getting use to it, I was initially nervous to wear it, I just notice how a bag can enhance what one wears. Stereotypically women have known this more than men.

That is nice. I was looking for a backpack yesterday but couldn't find one that I liked.

An 8 foot x 6 foot shiplap pent roof shed and enough 900 x 600 concrete slabs for the base
