    Oh, well bumped!

    The best way of using a Dyson airblade dryer is to use a piston motion, one hand down as the other comes up. That way it doesn't switch itself off as it does at the top of the conventional parallel-handed cycle. Ear plugs are recommended though.
    Looking for a cycling buddy?

    The noise they make is incredible, I suspect if a piece of equipment in someone's workplace was as noisy they'd have to wear ear defenders under H&S rules.

    Being at work is rubbish. Being on holiday is boring.

    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    When there's a knock at the door, why do dogs always think it's for them?
    And dogs also never like people blowing on their ears, yet they happily stick their heads out of moving cars...

    I have loads of 6mm and 4mm Allen keys, but only one 5mm. How irritating.

    My Iphone screen gets really dirty, finger prints and smudges. Makes me sad.

    I had my haircut today.
    Grade 1 back and sides but only 3 or 4mm off the top.

    Only costs £5.50 but I gave them £10 as its Christmas.
    Got a Quality St chocolate so it was worth it.

    My plastic drain-pipes have been bleached by the sun; gutters and fascia boards are fine though

    If you rotate the pipes the sun-bleached side can be hidden and they will all match for a little while longer :)

    Thanks for the tip Stone Glider, but I tried that when I had nothing else better to do a few weeks ago; they refused to budge.

    Decided to do something useful instead, so I trawled through the girls in knitwear thread for a few hours.....

    Whenever a male and female go cycling together, the male is always at the front.
    The same is true of ducks.

    I will have to take your word for it as I have never seen ducks cycling. :?

    Have you noticed that, in all the ads for the (IMO crap) film Mama Mia, they don't show a clip of Pierce Brosnan singing (if it can be called that)?
