Thanks , it is easing off. My wife wants to dig the garden but as there is a hard frost and we don't have any dynamite I think it may wait a while. I am contemplating swapping the front to back wheels on my car. It takes a lot of thinking and planning.

You could try driving backwards as a temporary fix.

What's to think about, just do everything back-to-front, same as I do.

It's a FAB event around the five boroughs of New York on closed roads. You get to see bits of the Manhattan, The Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island a tourist would never usually see, all on closed roads. It's brilliant, well organised safe, it's America's biggest cycling event. But it's only 40 miles and flatter than a witches tit, the only lumps are up the ramps of the bridges. Around the route all sorts of musicians, djs, dancers, etc entertain and there's sooo much food at the feed stations you could sustain a large army.

It's great fun, but the Cape Argus was better.

Just Hotel Foyer's to bother about!

Yes, the advantage being that it doesn't put any miles on the clock. The only problems I can see are that I wouldn't get many miles to the gallon and I might get a stiff neck.
I went out to check the depth of tread, but as I was putting on my shoes I found a Champagne cork in one. The kitten loves playing with things and dropping them in our shoes. I measured the tread depth and it is 4 mm so they can wait a while.

Animal, vegetable or mineral?

One pressie was a £25 gift voucher for WH Smiths.I think i am going to buy a very nice Fountain Pen.

This is a good idea. I got given an Amazon voucher, I too will buy a fountain pen.

Slightly OT, but I have never really seen the point of the gift voucher. Here's a £20 voucher, you can spend it in and WH Smith in the country as opposed to here's £25 cash...you can spend it ANYWHERE.

Any way show us your pen when you get it.

I've said this before, you have a very scary memory.

My coffee and toast in the Hatton cafe is going to work out expensive, I picked up a parking ticket.

The mains unit on our signal booster got knocked over Xmas, looks like I'm in the market for a new one.

Oh dear Dave. The new year is off to an expensive start for you.

Thanks for that @CarlP.

Miss GM bought me a JigSaw puzzle for christmas, first time I've had a JigSaw since I was about 10. Started doing this morning, never realised how time consuming they are, 1500 pieces should have it finished by this time next year me thinks. Any other JigSaw'ers here? tips welcome.

No, but I've been ignoring one in the break room at work for the last several years.
