My first ever dad joke
What do you call an Indian monk bell-ringer?
Rama Lama ding-dong
The meal so nice…
We forgot to instagram it! Granddad paid it the highest compliment, he said it was so nice, he forgot to drink his wine!
(As a side note, it was a vegetarian leg of lamb marinated in fennel and lemon, with the usual sides, and some braised red cabbage)
Father-Daughter bonding
Chomping on a vegetarian lamb bone.
Sickeningly cute
Granddad could almost be cast for a Werthers original advert.
Mother-Daughter bonding time
Quality. Off-screen: granddad glowering.
So what does that say about me?
I love my family, my cats, cooking, reading and finding shit out on the Internet.
Who’s next?
Right, I’m going to bed now. Please, can we have a night without people dying?
Fish! Chips! Cheap!
Every time we come back to Leicester, we always make a point to go to Buck’s chippy. It’s insane to think you can have a portion of cod ‘n chips or half a chicken and chips for 5 quid that can feed two people!
Britain has lost the plot.
Since when is it OK to have Easter chocolate in stores in December? Easter is 4 months away. We haven’t celebrated bloody new year’s yet!
Also, since when do you need tactical squad policemen with machine guns patrolling in a Leicester shopping centre??
Edit: So, apparently, this was planned and reported on.
Armed police to patrol busy places in Leicestershire after terror attacks in Berlin and Turkey.
Armed police officers are to patrol crowded places in Leicestershire over the Christmas period following several terrorist attacks in Europe.
The operation, which began at 7am this morning and will run until lunchtime on January 3, 2017, aims to minimise the risk to the public from a terrorist attack and provide people with a greater sense of reassurance.
A police spokeswoman said an assessment of the threat from international terrorism has not changed and remains classified as “severe”, and there is no specific information or intelligence which suggests an attack in the United Kingdom is imminent.
Chief Superintendent Ian Howick, said: “Far from alarming the public, the purpose of this change in approach is to achieve precisely the opposite – to provide greater reassurance.
“There is no specific threat to the East Midlands, but recent events elsewhere in the world have led to a change in what the public in Britain expect and want from their local police. The purpose of this change is to further minimise the risk to public and staff in and around crowded / busy public places from a terrorist attack, and to provide the public with a greater sense of reassurance by increasing our visible presence.”
So, security theatre, then.
