Hope surgery went well and you are doing OK. I was in theatre this morning but nothing major or life threatening and I'll probably get let out tomorrow. Will just need to navigate Storm Claudia to get home. Looking forward to hearing from you here again. Best wishes ...

Caught the first gig of the tour in Bristol. Was excellent and well worth turning up in time for British Birds too.

Is this Public Service Bincasting going to be free or would a paid subscription be required for garden waste collection day alerts?

These aren't hacks, just adverts. Here's a proper hack I use that's free ... few pages of a magazine or newspaper down front of jersey for an early start - keeps the cold off and can easily be binned once it warms up a little.

Or "bicycle in near miss as driver crashes"?

Yes, makes great coffee. Mine is 25 years old and still in use. The rubber seal is cheap and easy to replace when it wears out. Be sure cooker hob is suitable. Have used with gas ring and a hot plate. For electric stove top the ring size was too big. Not sure if will work with an induction hob.

It's growing on me. The bike is alive and is curling round the back of the chair to give the rider, who is a bit out of sorts, a hug.

Is it just me or is the bike all wrong, and distracting from the excellent figure? The helmet feels a bit off too.

Look like nice decorations to hang from Christmas tree. Black spokes would work better.

I assume logo is placed automatically without any check. Majority of them would be fine if it was just placed top right instead of bottom right. But that would kind of spoil your thing. Might need Guardian Chins instead then though?

She might go for a nice walk in the countryside to chill out a bit. Not round here though, black sheep everywhere today and hardly any white ones.

It's great and I would get annual membership, but I only do this once a year.

Sure, please do.

But here in UK it is National Crisp Sandwich Day. You guys are missing out on this gourmet experience.

In UK that would be classed as a motorcycle - requiring driving licence, tax, registration, insurance and helmet.

I was going to comment but must go and clear up the farage that the dog just did on the back lawn.

I would hope manufacturer will sort this out for free as it really should not have happened, however old the frame. Some do boast of lifetime frame warranty. Definitely worth pushing for. Good luck!

Had never seen it before but was feeling a bit crap after Covid booster vaccination and wanted some easy junk to watch. All the luvvies and national treasures scheming and being horrible to eachother. Was great fun and am now hooked.
