When did a Chatbot ever give you any useful advice?

are you sure you want to delete this?

maybe that doesn't count

Doing the park-and-ride approach today with my Giant FCR wasn't sensible. It's a flat bar road bike, with 52x11 road gearing, and I had the front wheel slide out on wet cobbles

Cue an unceremonious dismount where I managed to get one leg down whilst the other slid sideways when clipped in.

Given I was going the wrong way up a one-way street at the time*, with police at the other end watching, at least I provided them with some entertainment.

* It's one way plus an opposite cycle lane for 90% of the cobbles, then just stops as it directs cyclists over a bridge south-wards. Where else was I supposed to go?

sounds like an urban battle field

Oil heater ....ordered from Amazon ... On their free non Prime delivery currently saying Saturday ...Be unusual if not earlier

Turned up this afternoon!
Post dinner shifting of a chest of drawers needed. While the bottom drawer exposed the mains socket the need to run the cable alongside in the gap to a unit meant it was simpler with that out of the way.
Needs to run for 2 hours ventilated so having checked it did start to warm up switched it off until tomorrow.

I try, I really do

went to a retail store & bought some boxers (U.S. men's underwear) Fruit of the Loom was the only brand they had & that sounded correct

tried one on the next day but it didn't fit right. compared to the boxers I have been using, turns out they are Hanes brand

went online & ordered a PKG of Hanes & it arrived in just a cpl hrs

will donate the Fruit of the Loom boxers to Goodwill, cuz the downtrodden need fresh, clean undies too

anyway, very disappointed in myself for not buying the correct boxers in some other retail store

My wife's PF delivery was from an unmarked white van with a chap not wearing a uniform. Are they sub contracting their work out?

I don't think they supply full uniforms to temporary workers, whilst new workers have to join the waiting list for a uniform.
Van may be a replacement for one being fixed.

Just a normal day on the south side of Leeds city centre.

Just been watching on youtube some interviews with the few members of Bletchley Park left. One come up that was about an American code breaker along with the interview it had bits from an American historian. Not one word about Bletchley Park from either of them , the historian even came out with "war would have lasted years longer if we had not broke the Enigma. Just who is we? the yanks broke nothing , even when they joined the war for 6 months they ignored our warning on U-boat attacks on US convoys.
