Tuesday that is back on the wagon.

[Homers Double]

A slightly fuzzy and tiring Monday means back to the gym today, then a site meeting.
Warming up slightly so no frost, dry tomorrow so considering a ride.

I saw some school children on this morning's ride without jackets on so must be warmer

'ning

i see pinno has crossed the streams again and caused reality to splinter, also probably why it's gone dark and rain is on the way

coffee next, then a coffee, then a bubbly stroll

You've been slide tackled by Pinno there HD and it was poorly timed at that.

Just waiting for VAR....and they're saying that you're good to play on by about half hour.

Only the forum recency bias can save him now.

Morning

Wet here, watching the pretty lights of the forestry machines on the hill from bed, what's more glamorous than that!
I'm following the strict time rules.
Coffee then a visit into civilization for pneumoccocal jag and food shop.

 

[Drago]

Its wetter than Keir Starmers online dating profile here. Very damp indeed.

@Pinno718 - we're over here!

I find myself in London... day of ticker tests at the Royal Brompton.

I really really wanted to fart *very* loudly on the tube platform at St P, as it was utterly silent, despite there being 100+ people on the platform. Does no-one talk to each other in London, or has there been a zombie apocalypse?

You should have tried that on Sunday when it was no trousers day. They'd have started talking to you sharpish.

Genuinely one of the most surreal experiences I've ever had!

There can't have been any Northerners on the plaform.

Morning All,

Up too early to see a very cr@ap excuse for my heating oil delivery not turning up, have given the supplier a hard time. In the office for more mitigation and delegation, decent window seat but very dull outside.

There no excuse. Even if you didn't answer itd go through your letterbox.

I spent 3 weeks in Paris in '97 just before hip op No1. Walking stick in hand, the French were so accommodating to me - offering seats on the underground and giving me just a little bit more room etc etc. Helped that my French is slightly higher than tourist level and plenty of use of the vu and not tu respectively but I was still a foreigner.
The moment I got off the coach in Victoria on the way home, I got bundled over by some tw@t in a rush with a cursory 'sorry. but no assistance from anyone to help me up. I then crossed in pain to Paddington and the whole journey was just hell. No one offered assistance at any point. Me juggling a wheeled case and a walking stick, brown mark on my left side where I hit the grubby pavement in Victoria. I cannot imagine any city anywhere so bereft of understanding. I was a student and couldn't afford a taxi across 'town'.
I was in Barcelona and Bordeaux just after that after hip op No.3 and again (with walking stick), there were no issues. Treated so well.
Having also spent time in our Capital and surrounding areas from Hammersmith to Wandsworth to Clapham to Ilford to Seven Kings to Kentish Town to Hampton Hill, I have never felt endeared to the f*cking place.
Of all the major cities I have been in, it's low on the friendly/accommodating scale.
"...oh but there's so much you can do..." You can stuff your 'so much to do'. I would rather be somewhere where you can have a conversation easily, spontaneously.

Sorry. Rant over.
