I went to a stag do at Dirty Dicks. We had a room upstairs and a buffet next to the bar. The groom to be came up and asked me if I knew the man tucking in to the food. It's your stag do I said surely you know him? The stranger claimed to be the barmaid's boyfriend, a claim she denied. He got manhandled out of the door, dragged down the stairs and pushed out in to the street.

Love the guitar opening in this

But I'll bet your new mob made it worse before sending it on, vindictive bunch.

Revenge for Spanish Flu

That picture made me thing of the keyboard player in Sparks, your bike has glasses.

It's probably more than reported. I think some of the locals you mentioned only count as half each.

The word sperm just leapt out of the page at me..........................which is a bit worrying! https://spitalfieldslife.com/2022/01/17/the-metropolitan-machinists-company/

I was knocking out some parking signs on KeySIGN software and had to use the Sign and Sub plate function which lets you choose the upper sign, gives a choice of lower plates and that you can put on a backing board for neatness. Saw this upper sign as I was scrolling down and realised you can edit the lower part.

I have got blue eyes, although I once had one blue eye and one black eye when a tyre lever decided it wanted to ping back and crack me one. Note the contact lens sitting off centre, my right eye always does that.

Just had my lunch and this is what I have to look at, the foot of a welsh hobbit.

This is how we convinced Charlie to get into this damp patch. He was a bit miffed when we didn't join him and went round another way. Legal byway that is!

I don't know why you were worried, you were going to wash the bike anyway when you got home. Now in my case I would have been cautious exactly the same as you were, but mainly because I would have to live with the resulting muck on the bike till the next decent rain shower cleaned it off.

I like his chicken.

I have re-read Excession by Iain M Banks for about the zillionth time last week. His 'Culture' sci fi books make me really wistful for a future I will never live to see. As far as I can tell, there are no two culture books about the same person or place. It's a crying shame he died so young a few years ago so there are no new books to read. Excession is my favourite book of his, followed by Consider Phlebas, Surface Detail and Matter and then the others who's name I can't remember. I live in fear that someone will make a film or tv series of one of the books and pox it all up. Edit, ship names in Culture books are something else. They choose their own (being AI entities) My favourite was the warships called 'I Said I've Got a Big Stick' , 'Lapsed Pacifist' and another called 'Frank Exchange of Views'. From wikipedia The asteroid 5099 Iainbanks was named after him shortly after his death.[58] On 23 January 2015, SpaceX's CEO Elon Musk named two of the firm's autonomous spaceport drone ships Just Read The Instructions and Of Course I Still Love You, after ships in Banks's novel The Player of Games.[59] Another, A Shortfall of Gravitas, began construction in 2018. This refers to the ship Experiencing A Significant Gravitas Shortfall, first mentioned in Look to Windward.

Yeah, but it was the way he posted it that made it funnier.

The one I hate is the one in the belly to stop clotting. Stings like a very stingy thing.

You need something bigger than a Lenor bottle unless you have mad skillz.
