Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
It is indeed. I often use it as a weight when cutting things.

Blimey. I see one of my ex-colleagues was through this way yesterday and walked/jogged along the reservoir and then up Ben Chonzie. Some climbing.

I had a strange hankering to buy something on ebay...A tooth of an extinct Megalodon shark!
I think its an interesting 'ornament' as it could be 20 million years old. It only cost me about £90 and i think its awesome! about 6ins tall and still has sharp serrations. 
It looks like this one below

I hope that I can say that one day! I am only 3 months away from my official retirement (as opposed to the last few years of scrimping and saving in unofficial retirement).7 years retired today.
I keep having morbid thoughts about what happened to poor Vernon, and fearing that I will go the same way a few days after getting my pension. I really want to have (say) 15+ years of contented retirement before I hear the sound of the Grim Reaper again***.
Oh, where are my manners... Happy Birthday, Dirk!
I am an offcumden! I am in reality an Anglo-Scot raised in the Midlands. I came north as a(n) (im)mature student and never wanted to go back!
I've just tracked an Amazon parcel all the way here from Oldham. Modern tracking systems are great! I think I may have worked out why the dot on the street map representing the van sometimes appears not to be on a road though... I wonder if it is random 'jitter' added to the location to stop you seeing exactly where people have had deliveries before you?The parcel I'm waiting for is coming by Hermes, this guy wrote my car off
*** This one...
When my first pulmonary embolism flattened me (I faceplanted on the bathroom floor and couldn't get up) the Reaper was screaming in my ears. I heard an horrendous screeching sound, like the sound of the wheels of a train or tram going round a tight bend. There must be some medical explanation for it, but it was pretty bloody scary. I knew that I was close to death at the time and thought about The Grim Reaper. I don't normally believe in such things, but having one's body pack up suddenly can cause a bit of rethink!

We are having sausage rolls. I can't find any enthusiasm for food at the moment
