No AA it's in the cooker.......well on the outside at the bottom

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
We had bacon egg and chips
As I was getting ready to head out to last nights club dinner, Mrs Tenkaykev, resplendent in her new frock, looked askance at my choice of clothes. I donned a pair of long trousers and a casual shirt, muttering about being too hot and wanting to wear my spiffing new shorts. When we arrived we went to the bar and of course the vast majority of the men were wearing casual shorts. I did perhaps mention it to Mrs Tenkaykev, “ I see Ian’s wearing shorts “, Bill looks really smart in those shorts, “ Martin looks really comfortable in his shorts “ . My “ piece de resistance” was to have a quiet word with one of the wives, after a suitable delay she wandered over for a chat, said hello , and said to me “ aren’t you too hot in long trousers? “

Here's to feeling better sooner rather than later.Good day all (too late for good morning)
Still upchucking I'm afraid. I tried a Kitkat earlier (purely for energy).....that stayed down for an hour
And yer right, it is too late for a "Good Morning".

Think back a few! years, to that time when you wanted to wear long trousers like all the big lads did, not shorts.
Now you're saying you want to regress back to those days.

That's an odd size, and on the outside to boot.

The Met Office think that I might be in Devon because I had looked at forecasts for Exeter when I was last down there. I just got a thunderstorm alert for the SW tomorrow.
It is warm but overcast here. It might rain, it might not. If it stays dry I might nip out this evening and pick up a saddle that I am buying from a former colleague.
I am trying to stir up the enthusiasm to do a metric century ride tomorrow. I'll see how I sleep tonight, and what the weather is doing in the morning.
I bought a new 52 tooth chainring for my 2-speed bike on ebay last night. I have been riding the original ring for years and its teeth are now looking distinctly worn. Campagnolo rings tend to be expensive so I was pleased to get this NOS (New, Old Stock) one for £21 + p&p. I knocked the vendor down from £25. It will probably last me at least 3 or 4 years.

What a difference the sun makes. Two weeks ago I worked the club bar flat out for 2½ hours. Takings for the afternoon were over £1200 - that's a lot of booze as prices are low. Carlsberg £2.60. Local craft ale £3.60. G&T £3.25.
Been here 1½ hours and pulled two pints, two small glasses of wine and a Vimto!

I have just found a strange Space Invaders pouch upstairs. It matches a pair of Space Invaders socks that someone gave for Christmas. I have been wondering what it is for? I could store the socks in it but it that would be a very strange idea... 
Anyway, it just struck me that it will make an ideal phone carry pouch. I have a case on my phone, but the camera lens is not covered and is therefore vulnerable to getting scratched in my pocket by keys etc.

Don't forget, that was the Jubilee break!

I had the cooker from new and some ten years later the spark thing didn't work, behind the said cooker was a alloy box, but I could not open it as no screws and I thought that it had broken, so I bought a spark gun.
A few years later while cleaning said oven I noticed a round ring like hole with a cross on it right at the bottom
Ah...... I've seen something like that before …...so with a 2p coin I turned it and a AA Duracell battery fell out, put a new one in and bingo we had sparks again
