General chat about not a lot thread

I think I saw Melania Trump smile properly for the irst time ever to day, she was with Catherine visiting some scouts, had one small child on her lap and was playing with others, I've never seen her look so human.

I wish this site wouldn't decide it's randomly going to sign me out and that when it does my cursor would work properly and not stay stuck, it never matters what mouse I use, it always does it to annoy me.

I had an oddity the other day, I was coming in from outside and realised a draft was blowing under my toes, I looked down and I had a hole in the toe of my slippers!

  • Strictly starts properly tonight, yay, I know I'm going to be the only one from here watching it, but it makes me happy.

    I always used to watch it for entertainment and I’m just gonna say it, out of all the couples ever, Ann Widdecombe and Anton were the best! I mean that samba in Blackpool was just hysterically funny in my opinion! She also reminds me of Tokkori from the Kirby anime in that outfit too. I found it got boring from 2017 onwards but I tend to watch Johannes as I think he is such a great guy. But who the hell are these people now? I personally wouldn't class all these vloggers and tiktokers etc as celebs and as I’ve said before I’m gen z and I’m even saying that.

    I used to get a bit fed up with Brendans antics, I never felt it was fair on his celebrity partner when they got punished because his choreography included things that weren't in the rules they were being judged on. He was a great dancer though.

    If I'm really miserable all I need to watch is Ed Balls doing Gangnam Style, it was so funny, I find it almost impossible to remain sad. Katya's creativity never fails to amaze me.

    I thought Anita Rani's paso a few years ago was the best I've ever seen.

    Ahh I’ve never heard of it but I will have a look out for it. I do remember watching things like DIY SOS, 60min make over, Kirsty Alsop home made homes etc which I thought were really good to watch but I will have to look for the design masters. I suppose my taste is more of a modern but also cozy place maybe? I’m quite minimalist if I’m honest, like I just have neutral painted walls and same carpets in each room with a few photos on some walls. I do however like to add some bling haha. But if I was in like a house in the country side I’d probably have more of a ranch or cozy theme.

    Chaise Longues are expensive and ones you do get are often totally knackered and still go for megabucks as lots of upholstery students do them up as projects. I'd like one too, I think I'm naturally a chaise creature. I'm sure theres lots of videos on youtube that would help. If you paint an old piece of furniture and it dosen't work or you don't like it, it's only paint so you can easily change it.

    Have you ever watched Interior Design Masters? You might get some ideas from them, although some of them of terrible, so bad that me and Mum call it Infeior Design Masters. But at least you can get an idea of what dosen't work, some of them are into maximalism, all clashing colours and patterns, it's like looking at a migraine! I think it's horrible but others love it. You can get some really good tips on how to distress mirrors and use gold/silver/copper leaf which isn't that expensive.
