Morning, it is foggy and icy out there.

You waited until AFTER I left the house to tell me it was ICY .... . in fact not just any old ice but the special dark stuff!!! My commute started with a couple of miles of a walk! Even then I nearly slipped!! In the end I went via the main main roads as they were salted!

I've bought some tiny drills that are pointless. I don't mean that I do not need them ,but that the manufacturer didn't finish them off with points. It's no wonder it just skated across the surface.

I thought you said it was it was sunny there? It has been grey here all day.

I can confirm that it is sunny but a little bit nippy, just back from my first ride of 2017, in fact my first ride since November 23rd last year

I am now cream crackered.

If you are not careful I'm going to report you to the RSPCB (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Bikes), and the first thing they are likely to do is slap a protection order on said bikes and take them into care.... err.... my care (well the blue one anyway)

It was sunny until just after lunch then it went dull and colder!

Potsy riding? I just put it down to fake news.

I get all my news from the Accrington Gazette, definitely nothing fake about that

 

[potsy]

And I see from its website that your ride today is headline news.

Does it mention when my second ride of 2017 will be or are they keeping it a secret?

I have returned from the frozen North, strange, I didn't see any bikes out and about.

 

[Salty seadog]

All been nicked probably.

You don't even know what a bike looks like, seeing as you are a none cyclist

Was he fashioning a crows' feather into a quill pen as he said this?

Ha! It'd be something if he sat in his office surrounded by dusty old ledgers, but his working papers are a mess. His handwriting is so impenetrable, it doesn't trigger my reading reflex. He 'sorted out' some complicated loans on one client, leaving a single value on the accounts, and it took me a whole day's work to understand what was going on.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Nothing that was taught in my few bookkeeping and accounting courses could have prepared me for my first parish audit.

Hurtful but true.

Sennheiser have sent me a big box of air all the way from Germany! Oh, and my replacement headphone lead.
The Alfie Boe CD belongs to Pa, and is there for size reference only.

 

[marknotgeorge]

Yeah, yeah... we believe you.

I do believe I detect a subtext of crushing disappointment from thinking you'd found a fellow fan.
