Good Lord….popty isn’t a word for anything else is it? You seem to have to analyse every word you write in here now in case it offends someone! :laugh:

Oh go on. I like a bit of dark humour.

Some of it is way over the top though. And some is worse than that. And the really bad stuff... :stop:

I am thinking of one (unfortunately) unforgettable joke which a colleague told at work. It pushed the boundaries so far that they snapped and then he trampled on their remains.

No, I won't repeat it, even privately. Just think of the war crimes that some Russian soldiers are currently carrying out in the Ukraine, to the most vulnerable people, and make them into a joke...

If I quoted some of the black humour we used at work I would be shot at dawn! :laugh:

Yes, my youngest brother was a fireman (now retired), although he never discusses details, he obviously attended some very unpleasant scenes, but, the associated humour from him, and his colleagues can be quite amusing, in a dark sort of way.

So, go on let it all out @Mo1959, we won't tell anyone, honest ;)

WOW!! 79 miles, 3000 feet, blistering headwind and 14.4mph avg. Through and off at 22+ for long stretches. Absolutely loved it. Three of the Pedalling Pensioners back on it for the first time in a while.

Bib longs rule!

Good morning folks,
Daughters chap is running the “ Highland Fling “ race this morning so Mrs Tenkaykev and I are tracking his progress via the race website. Its 53 miles from Milngavie to Tyndrum. It will be the furthest distance that he’s run so we’re hoping he has a good experience.
Meanwhile it’s a grey morning in Dorset, I can hear the coffee machine gurgling. Wordle in three 👍
Have a peaceful day folks ☕️👍

Well, he’s started the race so hopefully he’ll finish it. The route follows the West Highland Way so it’s a bit challenging in places 🧗‍♂️
Mrs Tenkaykev and I walked it a few years ago, the path along the side of Loch Lomond was in very poor condition in places, more of a rock scramble than a hike!
