If we look at the poll results at say 9pm tomorrow, and we'll crown the winning date/time then? at the moment it's looking like we'll be starting on Monday!
Champagneing already on behalf of everyone yet to witness DKL in all its glory. I wish I could wipe my memory of the first time I heard about dusty Aunt Helen to experience it anew. Thanks so Switchstreetz much, Switchstreetz for organising this!
Well ninnies, tomorrow at 7pm (UK time) it is!!!! Can't wait, and I'll see you all then don't forget your treatos! (Horse spunk not included)

ETA: she better not do a chaos at 18:59
Woo! I'm going to make a grated aubergine chilli for my tea. Did I say for my tea? I meant I'm putting tea in it to replace the red wine, which is just one of the many wisdom nuggets the literal food expert will dispense
Yay - I never even heard of DKL when it was originally on so looking forward to finding out what everyone's on about! Also need some weekly shite TV + bitching to fill the hole in my week left by the Apprentice ending

25 minutes to go! I'm just sorting out my dinner now so I'm all prepared, and I'm making drinks anyone got anything nice in for dinner/snacks?
I want to make that burnt aubergine chilli someone recommended on the main threads but I'm missing a few of the ingredients, so saving that for the weekend!

My electricity is on a key-powered meter because I RENT and I forgot to top it up earlier so it went off while I was in the shower. I did briefly consider starting a blog and a Patreon to help me overcome my struggle, but instead I went to the shop to top up because I'm not a maverick.
