    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand she's done.

    Things I've learned:

    1) Driving with mum is funny. She has a fear of going (over 40) on a motorway. I'm ragging it at 80 on the m1 and m25. She thought it was a rollercoaster ride, and had to have a calming cup of tea once we arrived. 

    2) We, as a family, are glad to not come back. Having to have a late apt and go past the part of the hospital where her sister was brought in to die was harrowing. It hasn't changed in years.

    3) There are some very sick people here who have that much hope taken out of them. For some, it's treated almost as a last cause. How the volunteers can remain upbeat and happy is beyond me; hats off to them, they are stronger than I.

    4) I'm sorry I havent a clue has come out in audiobook form. Makes the journeys to and from the clinic that much better. Jack Dee is a beautiful replacement for Humph. This concludes your parochial british section of the post.

    5) For people who go through this sort of treatment in the future. She started feeling side effects from day 13 of 15. So if the first couple of weeks are fine and dandy for you or them, the last week plus the aftermath will look to be the kicker. Forewarned is forearmed, and all that. Missing out on the holiday was the best choice.

    So, with her end of therapy, mothers day and birthday coming up, we stumped up the cash to get her a cineworld free years pass for any movie. Ideal for her retirement.

    Love to all for putting up with me vomiting up incoherence on this page. appreciate it.

    Completed uncharted 4. No magic maguffin, no voodoo monsters. Just a solid, beautiful story.

    Now moving onto diablo3 on ps4. looks to be okay so far...but i dont know how long it will hold my attention, with far cry 4 and Rise of the tomb raider on my pc silently judging me for not finishing them...

    Daddy daughter bonding time watching the lego batman movie.

    She was rapt for 45 minutes during the middle of the movie watching all the going's on. I was giggling at the old school references.

    Help this American plan his trip to the UK

    Tip #1 - dont call Dublin or any part of the republic of ireland "part of the uk" - it's like calling canada part of america.

    Tip #2 - stay up north. Go to a pub from about 530 onwards on saturday if you wanted to watch some football and the world pass by. On saturdays they dont have live football to watch unless you have the right sports package - pubs often have the package. If you're over in august, it'll be close to the start of the new season, so you can watch the world come to a standstill for that to start. Rhyl is a decent sea-side town to visit, chester and leeds are good as well. York is a beautiful historic city. 

    Have a fried breakfast somewhere that doesnt have premier, inn, or toby in its name. Have a roast in a toby carvery. Marvel at some places being closed on a sunday.

    for places to go in dublin - guinness factory and then a local pub. If you sit still for long enough, someone will strike up a conversation with you.

    So yea - dunno if this is totally appropriate to post here but PWG's normal ring was destroyed in a fire last week and from reading things on twitter tonight it seems they are having issues with the one they are having to use.

    Here's the link to the info.  If you enjoy PWG, throwing a few bucks Jesse's way would probably be helpful for future PWG shows.  

    aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand the replacement ring broke twice during the night.

    Someone bought me the hot sauce in OSJ's post, as I used to slather some of the generic brand hot chilli sauce I got from the local Tesco on my pasta salad lunch.

    So I opened that bottle. 135k scoville units, it said. Could be fun, I said.

    Once I regained consciousness, I stuck it in a lead-lined lockbox. Jesus Christ on a pogo stick. I HAD NO NOSEHAIRS LEFT. It put hairs on the hairs on my chest. 

    I can only put four or five drops in the pasta salad, and just about survive. Its such an overpowering citrus and peppercorn hit that I cant have it more than once a week. It's INSANE.

    we weren't bad today, but we gave away too many unforced penalties. made for a difficult second half to watch.

    Am REALLY impressed with the Scottish defence though. They arent showing up for 60 minutes then fucking off, nowhere to be seen.

    The english arent looking convincing winners, either. They'll win the whole thing, but I dont think they'll get the grand slam.
