Why won't people learn to close up in traffic jams? People were stuck on roundabouts due to some selfish idiot leaving a 2 car space because they couldn't be bothered to let the handbrake off!
Because of that idiot there were jams forming on other roads which could have been flowing normally .

Ouch, another nasty crash in the velodrome...

That London velodrome is cursed this year.

Still, good to see Laura Kenny add another gold to her sizeable collection.

My sympathies @rockyroller. I'm glad to hear there are some bright spots for you both.

Despite Excel's best efforts I've finally made a price list for parts at work.

Knowing how vindictive the programme can be, I've saved a PDF as well...

I thought there was something wrong with my eyesight but then I realised my glasses were dirty.

Glasses now cleaned and normal service has been resumed.

Busy day in Lancashire. First job was to remove three rotten 6 x 5 fence panels and replace with 6 x 4 why smaller well me and Mrs P could not lift anything bigger.once that was done I spent two two hour stints weeding a stupid block driveway. Never again next time I say no and someone else can do it,I will suggest paying somebody.

Opera web browser wants to do an update. I'm sure it will look just exactly like the current version.

Mmmm, the commentators did raise the point (and it is a valid one) that the crashes were down to the disparity of skill and experience between the cyclists in the field, and that it is why that the vast majority of the events in the velodrome at the Commonwealth Games are against the clock as opposed to having the bunch racing events that we see at the Worlds.

I need to change the filters in my water jugs this wek. I will still have a couple left over, but does anybody have any experience of the Maxtra+ compatible filters over the genuine Britta versions?

I think we have a cat staying with us !

I put down cat food and it mysteriously vanishes !

Check it's not hedgehogs coming in for a quick snack.
