It is funny though! All these clever IT guys almost blubbing into their coffee cups over a game of footie,

An old manager from the 60s called Bill Shankly said, "Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them, it is much more serious than that.".......

Not sure whether to have a quick shower or a long satisfying soak in the tub?

Problem with the former is that a shower is just a quick in and out, and you're done! Not all that satisfying emotionally or physically. But it saves time I guess.

Problem with the latter, is that I always fall asleep and often end up submerged Plus I have to have a shower afterwards because I'm never overly keen in soaking on my own grubby water (not saying that I'm dirty ... but you get my drift,lol)

Decisions, decisions........

But taking a bath is wonderful!

Scented body oils, bath salts, plenty of soapy bubbles, small lit candles around the tub; subdued lighting and a cold non-alcoholic drinks (and a book if required).

20 minutes of saturated heaven!

If my husband ever ditched me (for spending too much time on City-Data? Lol!), then I'm definitely taking a trip to Iceland! It would be like a holiday abroad those sad middle aged women do, just to pull men!

Not only are Icelandic men good looking, but they also know how to play football.

(Sorry to all you English men on here. ).

My Grandfather used to smoke back then, and my Nan always had to go to the shop for him (which was only up the road), to get his f@gs.

Then one day, she had enough of going to the shop for him, all of the time. She put her foot down and said "I'm not going to the shop for you anymore, to get your bloody f@gs!"

Do you know, he actually gave the f@gs up, rather than going to the shop himself!!
