Just overheard my neighbours outside with one of them repeatedly saying that well-known expression concerning coldness resulting in the separation of the precious possessions of the copper- alloy ape; then it hit me why are those parts called 'nuts' when 'nuts' are otherwise female components? Scratches own head in confusion.
Nuts would have been steel, the side plates brass. Different expansion rates of the two metals caused the separation of the two. Similar principle with iron balls.

That was mildly disappointing, out for lunch at Cassilax in Roland avenue then down the Unicorn Club for booze and bingo, pushing my Good Lady down Parkgate road and the snow started, fortunately we were in the club before it started to come down heavy, got in the club and there weren't enough people for bingo so it was just a sociable drink and a chat, when we came out the snow had turned to rain, we got the bus to the top of Lythalls lane and walked home from there, fortunately my Good Lady was well wrapped up and her coat plus the blanket on her lap and round her legs kept the rain out.

Puzzle game procrastinator!
Can of beans in each hand?
I have two chunky 7.5 kg kettlebells for when I want to wave weights about. It shocks me to think that from my heaviest weight I have lost the equivalent of four of those! I intend to lose another kettlebell worth, and when I was a student I was another kettlebell lighter still... :eek:

I must ask my ex if she has any photos of super-scrawny (and baby-faced!) me from back then. I haven't seen any such pics for years but somebody must still have some.

@PaulSB - has your new phone arrived yet? I was watching some very positive reviews of that model last night. It looks like a good buy.

-22C at 9 am....will get to 4.4C this afternoon with a little Chinook action. The snow we got yesterday is dry and light as thistledown and squeaks when walked upon.
I will go for a walk at some point and maybe a little Nordic Track. Perhaps my V brakes will arrive at the LBS today. I think the
last few days snow may have delayed them though.
Mrs 12's oxygen bottles and her veggie box should be delivered today. Hopefully not while I am walking.
Testes in Spanish are called "huevos" colloquially as huevos actually means eggs. It seems there are probably more words for breasts, genitals and rear end than any other body parts.
Be safe and warm.....
