I am watching 'The Cameron Years', and wondering what happened to his lame Tory soundbite of 'The Big Society'

Something strange is happening outside. The sky has changed from it's normal slate-grey to a strange colour of blue and there is a strange, bright, orange blob which seems to radiate heat

Whatever can it mean? Strange times are upon us

The end is nigh, 06:40 on the 4th September.

I left home for pharmacy visit and a free beer (not from the same place) with my glasses hanging from a lanyard. I arrived at the pharmacy with just the lanyard. Of course, after the free beer I forgot to go back via the same route to see whether I could find them. That's another outlay in Poundland to look forward to.

For the kitchen.

My apartment is furnished but I managed to melt the last one by having it too near the cooker.

Wasn't even touching the cooker but these German appliances don't mess about.

You do know that this is solvable by buying a metal one?

I avoid plastic sieves, colanders and strainers like the plague.

I hope not or I'll not have time to drink all the beer in the fridge

Woah...

Save at least one for a celebratory drink, in case they've got it wrong.

Well, my total inability at the simplest task that involves my bike, tools and a little know how, has once again resulted in me frelling the bike and in need of spending money at the LBS!
Honestly, how hard is it to change sub-compact chain rings to compact? More than I can manage!

PS they are absoluteBLACK oval chainrings and I'm sure it's a simple job when you know how.......... And don't lose a bolt in the process!

There is a programme on the radio looking at the history of yodelling

I did similar many times: it took a fair bit of training from a bike shop owner to convince me that I could fix a bike, then show me how.

Has it been moved forward a bit since the last prediction?

Can't you make the end being nigh on the 5th instead to save me having to go back to work. Around about 05:30 to coincide with my alarm clock going off.

Just another date, and time, that has cropped up.

I suppose that if you predict enough endings to the world, one of them may just get lucky.

In the dishwasher?

I took it out first.

And today I gave the blackthorn bush a trim. The hawthorn bush and beech hedge will have to wait.

I had my revenge on the blackthorn by putting it through the shredder. That'll teach it to prick me.

Is that the best wording to use?
