Streaks!

[SpokeyDokey]

The modern world seems to like a good streak.

Have you one that you are pleased with, or are even proud of?

Mine: being continuously immersed in reading a novel (no missing days) since early September 2023.

Hopefully we can avoid mentions of underwear!

Built a website that has to be updated daily. And it has been, without fail, for 1,099 days.

The streak of sensible answers didn't get very far!

11040 days without lamping somebody at work for stupidity. 5000 ish days coming close to lamping somebody for stupidity. Maximum of 384 days before I don't have to worry about lamping anyone at work ever again. Shouting at idiots doesn't count. PS Erika Roe was a legend.

This one gives her a good run for her money. The commentary is superb.

The bobbies helmet sits proudly on the retired officers mantelpiece!

I once went a fortnight without getting bollocked by a senior officer...because I was on leave! To be fair the telling offs were fairly mild, I think of lot of the scrambled egg desk jockeys were a bit scared of big ruffty bobbies with nicknames like Chopper (my nickname), the Swede, Bluto, etc, so they were usually fairly mild affairs.

The CI's "interviews without coffee" were legendary for shouting and throwing of office supplies, but he was a Sandhurst graduate who'd also done time in the Green Jackets before going over the the Anglians to hold hands as an EOD specialist, so he was quite chummy when delivering a bollocking to me. Mjnd you, I once earned another bollocking when I walked out his office while pulling up my trousers and shouting across the room, "same time next week, boss?"

Waking up, nearly 63 years on the trot. Long may it continue.

You only wake up once a year?
