You have to be careful with things like that

Well to be fair - given the saddle height, handlebar position and general set up of the bike

the shadow is accurate


and I reckon those pedals are DAMN close to the ground at the bottom

or am I being too literal

Large new cars with headlights designed to make the front look like an animal face. Cat? Also the new fad for a thin narrow light running the full width of the bonnet and boot between the headlights and tailights.

You have to be a very special d1ckhead to design it but just an ordinary d1ckhead to buy a car like that.

Winds me up beyond all reason and rational thought.

I went for a hospital appointment today. I went in hospital transport and came back in a minibus/taxi. Both drivers had their radios on, but on different stations. The funny, but quite pleasing thing is that on the way there this was on the radio...

Then on the way back this was on the radio!

Some memories are so fleeting; I'd totally forgotten how sh*% that DJ Sammy version was.

Yes, compared to the original it's dreadful! 🧐 Notice I didn't put a next to it, like I did with the Bryan Adams original.

Junior Bake Off! Ive never seen such well behaved kids and have such great attitudes They celebrate with who evers won, commiserate with the losers and help each other out. If cooking turns out such well adjusted kids then it should be a major part of a school curriculum

people passing me on my ebike then struggling like hell to stay ahead


sorry - had to be said - although I generally slow down a bit if they hit a hill or head wind and can't keep the speed up - no point being a prat just because I have a motor!!!

after my post in the 'trivial things that annoy' thread, i found this beneath the trivial thing that annoyed me...

...and i just happen to have an ancient laptop with XP in it.

Finally the starfield screen saver is back!

Replacing my shaving foam with shaving cream. It comes in a tube not an aerosol so half of it doesn't get wasted when the gas runs out.

I've noticed that shaving cream has a very similar consistency to hand wash so I might experiment with that when the cream is finished.

I looked into the topic of shaving cream etc a while ago. The foam’s principle job is to keep moisture on your stubble so that it softens - hair is made of the same stuff as fingernails and you can see how they soften with immersion. Anyway, based on this and some anecdotal stories I stopped using any foam or gel, choosing instead to shave in the shower or bath. Sure enough, nice clean shave and no problems. It does require a lengthy soaking to be effective so if in a hurry you might still need a foam, but aftr a shower is still better than starting with a dry face. I am bearded now so no such issues.

I started using Hair conditioner instead of shaving jel or cream, seems to work a treat
