Bunch of new STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE toys, a new HVAC system and Water Heater for the basement, and some Vicodin and Protonix.
Crazy, I'm halfway to crazy
Suicide would waste me
Homicide would break me
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Oh, is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems

Oh, and I did buy a load of tubes of a kind of candy called 'parma violets', those are pale round disk-shaped sweets, softish and crunchy, powdery in texture, dissolving not super-fast but quite quickly when sucked on, pale mauve in color and tasting of, well, violets (as in the scent of the flowering plant, sweetish, perfumed flavour, very old fashioned). My old man loathes them but I love the things. Got a couple of bags of irn bru flavour boiled sweets that actually do taste like irn bru the drink. Really nice they are too. And two bottles of bubblegum flavour fizzy pop, 2l sizes.


I'm with your father on this one.  There was a similar candy called Violets that came in a purple and silver wrapper.  Mom and Lise loved them.  The smell would send me rushing from the room.  Still can't abide them and will go down another aisle if I find them in a store.

I thought they'd gone for good, years back, until  I found them again recently. I bought a carrier bag full. Eating them now actually. I can't get enough of those, been munching them all da...for about two weeks actually haha.

That's the joy of people liking different things.  There's always someone else who can give you their "share."

Attention all gophers!

The Gopher Liberation Front had kindly permitted Mr Odeon to replace his laptop, so as to enable hiim to spread our " Free Gary Gopher" message to the World. Unfortunately, our experiment in Induced Stockholm Syndrome is quite not as successful  as hoped; witness his lack of gratitude in the post cited above. Witness also his failure to explicity support our cause . However, it is early days yet, and we  remain  encouraged by his lack of overt hosility towards gopherkind

We are presently restraining gophers 3 and 4,  as their training methods are deemed overenthusiastic

What? No, this isn't a coup, Gopher no. 27. Don't be silly. It's just a  management re-shuffle.

Was that for your own use or are you going to flip it??

I think I am going to add it to my collection for now,  it's the oldest one I have at the moment and it looks nice next to the 5 1/2

Bought a new E-fag, since I couldn't find the bollocksing twuntocks of a battery I had. It works, but its gone AWOL.

Plus a bottle each of cherry  and of apple flavour, 24mg/ml nicotine solution for it. The apple one I've not tried until now, not bad.

Those fucking batteries though generally, are awful. Remarkably high fail rate. Not had one explode on me yet though.

Although I have once had one moments away from igniting, after my old man 'did me a favour' and stripped the metal casing off of one then tossed it in my lab whilst I was watching TV. Lithium batteries, don't play well with being gutted and thrown in somebody's crotch. They have a strong tendency towards rapid oxidation in air within moments, getting hotter and hotter and eventually catching fire.

You won't USUALLY see me grab something smoking and glowing red hot from between my legs, and running with it in my bare hands hell for leather for a tub of petroleum spirit then dunking it in same, muttering and grumbling, to breath a sigh of relief, followed by my comitting an act of surgery upon said hot battery core, but on that occasion it had to be done. Normally when I fillet lithium batteries in order to retrieve the lithium, its done entirely under a bowl full of petrol or white spirit, without scrabbling between my legs and with much, much less swearing involved.

I've got a growing bag full of un-spent lithium batteries, that in some way have failed, contacts shot, etc. and they are ALL, each and every one of  them e-fag batteries that gave up the ghost on me. I keep them when they do though, as I am a big believer in recycling:P at least, when I know its not going to a landfill in china, and there is a decent piece of lithium in there as thin foil, which is perfect for doing in-situ Birch-Benkiser reductions, when the anhydrous ammonia is not condensed to a cryogenic liquid, but rather is bubbled into diethyl ether, kept on an ice/salt/antifreeze bath until one gets the royal blue of solvated electrons, or lithium bronze in more concentrated solution, and once preformed, substrate, dissolved in ether is added with just a dash of alcohol to serve as a proton source. The thin foil reacts quickly, compared to lithium added as chips or little chunks bit by bit.
Beyond the pale. Way, way beyond the pale.

I haven't bought, but I will most likely tomorrow - dry cat food and cans too.

Also I see that two new car tyres are on the horizon, since one of the back ones is quite bald on the edge. I don't know how that happened since I inflate them every couple of weeks all to the same pressure. The tyre people can probably tell me.
