    Edit. Ah hah, will now take emojis straight from iPad rather than having to use the selection on the drop down list.

    You could build a Cake Stop advent calendar with that feature. 🤔

    Is that like 'okay snowflake' or am I getting the gist wrong?

    Yeah basically, except all the boomers have got all pissy about it being ageist or something (ok maybe not all, just some).

    I like the lack of a frikkin swear filter.
    Now we can have proper rants.

    How about a string of faux flounces? Anyone?

    Pinno (I think it was he) showed me a way of turning my drill into a grindstone for £5.

    Sharpening my splitting maul in a shower of sparks cheered me up even more than smiting the previously unsmitable rounds of wood

    Anyone else tracking Jonas Deichmann on his Cape to Cape (North Cape to Cape Town) cycle? Day 63 in Zambia closing on the Botswana border. Target is 75 days I think.

    This guy is something else. Has done Cabo da Roca Portugal to Vladivostok, Alaska to Tierra del Fuego.

    Not trivial at all really. Big respect.

    Sticking Strava on, going out wherever your legs take you in your lunch hour.
    Uploading and finding you've almost drawn a cock and balls without meaning to.

    Hearing some Rylan Clark Neal 24h KaRyOke on t'radio, thinking a bit meh, decide to have a look on the BBC red button, freeview 601 as happens, and actually quite enjoy seeing live radio studio transmissions. Plus having Reef doing a live set... Feeling cheered up after a 'kin cold and mizzling work day.

    Watching Andrew Neil absolutely rinsing 2 Muppets from the SNP and Labour last night. I mean if you're gonna get grilled by the nation's foremost political interviewer you'd do your homework first wouldn't you? Apparently not.

    Watching a program by Billy Connolly on his life and finding out he was a keen cyclist in his youth. London - Glasgow; Glasgow - JoG. A Flying Scot bike. Interesting.

    Again, not at all trivial.

    Jonas Deichmann tonight has completed his Cape To Cape 18,000km ride in 72 days, 7 hours and 27 minutes, just a whole 30 days inside the previous record.

    This man is something else. Full respect.

    Watching Newport County v Grimsby. The Grimsby shirts have a Young's fish sponsor logo on the neck and the players names just below. One of the players is called Pollack.

    I might start doing this to all the political parties. I'll look at their manifestos to make a decision. Not a leaflet that tells me nothing.
