I can assure you it does because I wanted a furry hand muff (the victorian type for keeping your hands warm not the dirt that's going through most people on heres minds) and the results were eye popping without a single hand warmer in sight. And that was before Six messed with my algorithms

It was only guards wasn't it?

Don't fall for it @Saul. They're masters of screwing with your algorithms. Nothing good will come from googling muff.

Very soon all our NHS records will be held by an American company backed by Trump. They aren’t even going to give you an option to opt out. They’re saying don’t worry it will all be encrypted What could possibly go wrong.

This is how fucked up my algorithms are. Both of these ads are on the same page. They’ve got me with one foot heading towards the boudoir and the other towards the grave

Yeh well I'm not googling that Mr FeckinWizardSleeves I'll ask Mr Slowly when he gets back from the pub. On second thoughts I won't cos post pub he'll probably insist on showing me

Mind you with the electricity price hike expected in April maybe we should all be buying coldstore gear to wear at home

True. If you google 'coldstore clothing' you'll find a multitude of options, they do different temperature ratings too.

Bored and wading around the internet is dangerous isn't it... I've just signed up for an upholstery course

Ah the cold store stuff might be a bit too warm for you then.

Yep heated vests are amazing. As are ski mobile suits and coldstore gear (which is considerably cheaper than a ski mobile suit. Just size up n put it over your usual gear. I have some very pricey thermal lined padded out trousers and they are ok but not as good as the ski mobile suit. Anything labelled up for more than -30 is good.

It is, they even have a coffee made from the shit of bats that protect the entrance to hell. I kid you not, look up Kopi Luwak.

Smoked haddock chowder. It was delicious.

About to make some Cullen Skink. Not everyone’s thing but done with good quality ingredients it’s a total winner to me. Laters

I had a latte last week. First cup of coffee I’ve had in years. I was shocked at how disgusting it was. It’s so strongly flavoured there’s no way you can drink that stuff without it effecting your taste buds. Bit like smoking.

Now that looks great. It’s funny one of the things I was concerned about you giving up your home for hobo life was you would miss baking too much and it would make you a bit sad. So I’m very happy to see that cake!

No it would not weaken your immune system. Quite the opposite. All vaccines strengthen the immune system as it’s the same as being exposed to a virus. There are different ways for a vaccine to work but essentially you’re taking something that’s the same shape as the virus with the nasty kill you bit removed. Your immune system fights it as it would the real thing without you having the symptoms. Then if the real thing shows up later your immune symptoms recognises it immediately and goes “hey arsehole we told you last time you’re barred” and shows it the door sharpish before it can smash the place up. Job done.

So Six did lend you his crayons after all

Us too. A percentage of returns are free and they weren't being used due to lockdown which meant no fuel or vehicle costs. The emergency returns which are pricey (you want a document and you want it 10 minutes ago) are usually medical files and legal docs like Wills for solicitors which demand for went up. But those days are gone. I was talking to our pension advisor and he said the bounce back from Covid was excellent. He had peoples pots performing at 20% up and they stayed there. Then we had an outstandingly stupid 'mini budget' which wiped the entire 20% off. They ditched the stupidity and its regained 5% but thats it. Heyho.

Ditto. Everyone quiet but still paying, no daily runs but the odd emergency return giving us permission to go out on a bike during lockdown on totally empty roads and bonus time with my eldest son who stayed at home for a year longer than planned. No obligation to see people I didn't really like spending time with and we had ridiculously good weather. I feel bad saying that when it was a genuinely terrible time for so many millions of people but for me it wasn't, well once we all got past the imminent death part!

I don't think I've ever had that clocking off thing. Well not since I was about 16 years old! Even when I worked in a hospital we were starting a business so I'd come home to more work. There's always been a completely random immediacy that's meant we have to be always contactable, plans are so often changed by what's occurring I never believe I'm going anywhere to do anything until I'm actually there doing it and even then it can stop in a instant. The very next day after my wedding... back at work because something had happened. I accept that is price I pay for what affords me a lifestyle I mostly like but I can't imagine I'll ever get to experience clocking off. Sounds nice, I'd like to try it but I'm ok with the compromise so long as it involves motorbikes

My kind of work I really enjoyed the first part but this not so much, the economy, the predictions about where we are heading and the increase workload we're currently experiencing as everyone jams on the brakes and looks to cut costs wherever they can is frightening. Our increase in workload isn't a good one, it's caused by fighting to hold onto customers after some disreputable company offers to do what we do but much cheaper - which they can't so they just lie to get the contract and increase the 'extra costs' after they've locked them in. I could go on but it's both painful and boring. I don't understand why you're never 100% on work when most people are? I find the flat out before I leave and a tiny bit everyday works very well. Hope it does for you. I can't remember did you get a back up phone in the end?

An americanism, a bit like "you're on fire" "Cooking with gas - to be making very good progress or doing something very well: I can see we're really cooking with gas now."

Lemme guess he should be taking the best bike ever made, EVER MADE and taking the all conquering Honda CB500X
