It’s sprouts you got to be careful off. 🙂

When my eldest son (31) was a baby still crawling around. He pulled himself up on the veg rack and took a sprout and ate it raw. Didn't screw his face up at the taste just ate it. His nappy was an interesting shade of green a few hours later 🤣

Haha. Reminds me of my great nephew he likes blueberry’s and has blue poo! 😀

Not just Hi-Fi that gets costly fast, if you go to fashionable brands.

£500 for a Razer keyboard https://www.razer.com/gb-en/gaming-keyboards/razer-huntsman-signature-edition/RZ03-05510100-R3M1 It's not even like Razer has a reputation for quality, reliability and durability...

I have the Razor Huntsmen top keyboard, you won't recognise it with those customised keycaps! 🙂
Each keycap has it's own dedicated light. I don't mean the led, the keycaps are controlled by laser light in place of a mechanical switch.

Though, I have to say my preference is Steelseries keyboard, also unrecognisable. It uses magnetic technology, better feel and response than the Huntsmen, both quality keyboards nevertheless. (and you get to customise the cables, unlike the razer KB, it's fixed)

I have a Filco Majestouch 2 TKL, a good, solid, well made and durable keyboard, with cherry MX brown switches but, no frills, no extra knobs and media keys and, no fairy lights! After 7½ years use, it feels ready for another 7½ years use.

Filco is a really nice keyboard.

Back in the days PC keyboards were plain but solid, I swore by those Keytronic KBs, but now they started putting leds on theirs. Everything was Beige back then!



If I'm not mistaken, those old Commodore 64's had Keytronic keyboards.

I do a lot of typing without the lights on, it serves a practical purpose but wasn't the reason for the purchase, strange as it sounds, I find all the led lighting strangely therapeutic! I know, I'm weird! 🙂

It's like Blackpool illuminations in our house. Gaming keyboards with led lights. Gaming PC's with LED cooling fans and RAM.

My middle son's PC as a hybrid cooling system with LCD display. He has it set to just display the Empire emblem from Star Wars😂

Anyone that thinks paying over a fiver for coffee is OK.

The surprise in this story was the gift card mistake.
To me, the £5.15 price she actually paid was the shocker.
Mind you, I'm bound to be shocked, I've NEVER bought coffee.....anywhere.

She thought it was "hilarious" when she saw her remaining gift card balance from a matcha latte.

Mine is the dancing Japanese dancing girl on my lcd. I also have the storm troopers,
Elvis doing Jail house rock in jail break, Marilyn Monroe blowing a kiss. Nice to remember dead people but better to lay them to rest. 😊🙏

The amount of council tax charged to the dead. Just had dad's bill through as the house sale fell through after four rmonths...

There should only be a minimal council tax charge for unoccupied property.
Wish you luck in the sale.

They charge double down here as they are classed as unoccupied second homes!

Don't get me started on council tax.
Too late, I've started:
Worst 'value' I've had in my life (and it's had stiff competition from £400+ road tax on a Focus doing less than 2000 miles a year).

I've put refuse / recycling out for collection once since October - grass collection incurs an additional £80 charge.
I've got the modern (worse) street lights.
That's it. I benefit from NO other council service.

(I understand where they 'need' to spend the money, but it certainly ain't on me).
