Staying in for a delivery.

[Brandane]

Here I am, stuck at home waiting for John Lewis to deliver a new fridge. Delivery time was given as 0700 to 1400, so well done JL; at least it's not the usual 0700/1900.
What's the odds that it will be a whole lot closer to 1400 than 0700?
I'm going to risk jumping into the shower for 10 minutes; that should bring them knocking at my door!

Oh, and it's dry without much wind this morning - potential was there for a few miles of pedalling. Instead I feel a morning of excessive CycleChat coming on; maybe I could dip a toe into SCP (no, that's taking things a step too far!).

At least it will be good to see the Zanussi POS disappearing out of here .

Day time TV - Countdown, Jeremy Kyle, Judge Judy.......lots of really intellectual programmes to keep you stimulated.

Is "Watch with Mother" still on at lunch time? Andy Pandy; Bill and Ben etc....

What is excessive?

So long that you have read all the interesting bits, and end up tempted to open up THAT section; you know the one! I'll need to take it off my "ignore nodes" first.

Anytime I've had a John Lewis delivery, although they initially give a wide window for delivery, on the day it's been narrowed down to a much smaller window (but I can't remember whether I rang them or they rang me to get that smaller delivery window estimate.)

You can always watch a repeat of the TdF.

That's right, a person really has to be desperate to spend time in the Tea thread. Still, you'd get lots of likes just for saying good morning.

I don't normally go there either; but in the real world I know which boards posters I would prefer to spend time with!

For the scenery - yes. For cycling as a spectator sport - sorry but I'd rather watch paint dry.

Get the hoosework done

I was in your fading holiday resort town on Monday, avoided the curry but salivated then demolished a 'Viking' fish supper followed by the refreshing burp inducing Diet Bru...

the A78 wasn't that bad, it was that rumbly road over from Kilbirnie which was the problem, a horrible surface
I remember the good old days when that wet bit was our swimming pool.

The gulls must have been sleeping to allow you to step that far away from a fish supper without them swooping on it!
