Ahh, I see you get the rest of the smileys if you click on the 3 little vertical dots at the end.

Stop pressing the buttons for God's sake. You might bugger it up altogether.

Just done the ironing and now making a loaf

When I hear a naturist say they've 'just done the ironing', I get strange visual imagery. I hope you used a cool iron!

Right - I'm up and awake enough to try to make sense
I've not been on this thread much the last month or so - but I must pay attention more - contact with nice (??) people is good for me!!!

Anyway - I looked at my Strava stats for the year and I cycled over 20 hours most months
but November and December were 10 and 9

OK weather and illness were involved - but I must try harder - my breathing (asthma and all that) does improve if I push it a bit!

Fifteen minutes of charm from 1956. I just watched this - why can't we have cycle vans with rubber coated hooks on the trains anymore?

That doesn't do anything here.

You pressing the right one. Down the bottom right along from the few smileys that are currently shown.

A lot of the roads on here are ones I ride, I've got both clips on my computer.

I've found it, thank you, I had two lots of three dots on the top and hadn't seen the third one bottom right.

Ah, they're on youtube too ~ even easier. Thanks Dave. I enjoy looking at the free stuff on BFI though (and there's no pesky adverts).

Maybe imagination or placebo effect, but I don't seem to be blowing my nose or clearing my throat so much since I stopped the cow's milk. They do say it has a mucus producing effect. Even if that is the only benefit it is worth persevering I think.

Research seems to say this is a very common belief - but isn;t actually true

No I hadn't. Thank you ~ good stuff.

We need to ditch our hydrocarbon dependency don't we, and get back to fuelling with carbohydrates instead.

Found the smilies. The rest of it still isn't working. The plan to walk up Great Hill has been abandoned. Relief.
