I agree, I'm shocked that a matador was shown live on TV being killed in Spain but torturing animals shocks me more

Do you like Mock The Week??

Yes, although I don't watch it often.

Nipped up to the little house by the woods and got a lovely lettuce and some fresh picked runner beans! Why battle the bunnies myself when these folks grown inside proper rabbit proofed vegetable gardens? And are willing to sell their excess produce dirt cheap

We are off to potter about the cheap shops on the edge of town....what are you up to today?

Road cycing's also boring (along with cross-country - the other two types in the Olympics aren't boring, though).

whose making a cuppa?
*looks around, trying to get somebody else to do it*

Are you watching the Euro 2016 final tonight?

Dunno, it did look like a forgone conclusion that Murray would win though

Perhaps as he is Scottish then Leave supporters no longer like him!

£2.50 is a bargain but I still haven't opened it

Did you not spot that it is France and not Germany that are playing??

Quite possibly. A large number of Italian banks are in dire straits with bad debts and it is the third largest Eurozone economy.

You don't own any Italian bank bonds, I hope!

Not me, but I believe that a fair number of people were attracted by Icelandic bank rates. IIRC, Gordon Brown eventually bailed them out.

When will people learn that if it's too good to be true then don't touch it with a barge pole?

If you're talking about a system restore as per the official way then, in my experience, not more than 5 -10 minutes. If it goes tits up I normally get an error message saying that it couldn't be done.

Is Windows designed as an exquisite form of torture?

I think so Forty five minutes later it's finally fixed itself!

Do you leave washing up til the following morning or always do the night before?

If, like us you own a dishwasher, and you leave it till next day, I think that the technical term is bone idleness.

If you are diswasherless do you prefer washing or drying?

My computer, so that I can post on DS!

Are you more interested in the Conservative or the Labour leadership contest?

Conservatives as they'll provide the next PM. Labour is finished for at least the next 10 years and probably more.

What happened in the EU cup final? I left before the end.
