Arsenal. Dogs. Rum. Also Wine.
Guess it means those of us who do a bit of research get to enjoy the better wineries without thronging crowds.

Feels more of a beginners guide than an insiders guide.
No need to go for the obvious when there are so many brilliant wine farms that produce far superior wine than Spier and Babylonstoren.

Shame there is no mention of Thelema, Stark Conde, Waterford, Leeu Passant for example.

I've pretty much decided to give the whole tournament a swerve this summer.

My partner noticed.
She was talking about golden thighs all match.

Wonder.

Stupid autocorrect.

Winner of she's willing to negotiate on the price. It's going to cost thousands in beige paint.

Are you the original incell?

I walk to the takeaway barefoot and clad only in rabbit skin pants. Like a true hunter gatherer.

Judging by the state of that turkey yesterday he is probably hangry.
That or he is a massive racist.

You went there.
I guess the important thing is it isn't during?

For context I'm a manager in an eye department and have helped arrange earlier surgery for patients based on social rather than clinical need.

Having seen your other posts I would recommend contacting the PALS department of the hospital.
Explain to them in the calmest way you can the effect that the cataracts are having on you and the potential impact on your living situation if your vision deteriorates further.

The guy that used to do Gerry Adams must be looking for work.

The South African rugby team is very similar in this respect as well.

You would be shocked at how many short notice cancellations of cataract surgeries there are.
If it works for you, you can always let the admissions team know you would be open to taking an earlier slot if it becomes available.

Well done. Eye clinics are always busy and noisy.

The surgery is very quick (most I watch are done in 20 minutes) and as your eyes are healthy you'll really benefit.

I'm a big fan of his work.
