    We don't have Pixies up here, we have Gremlins.
    One could assume that we have legions of them, However, this is incorrect as the majority of the population in the Land of Jock are just simply very short and easily mistaken.
    The language, attire and manner are similar and it is therefore hard to distinguish the vertically challenged from the Gremlin.

  • The International Foreign Fighters initiative. Trivial? Maybe not, but it does cheer me up.

    That this new cycle racing / training circuit, designed by my own fair hand, got approved at planning committee a few days ago. Hopefully it can now get all the funding in place. I'm also trivially cheered up that I no longer race as the circuit has over 30m of elevation for each 1km lap including a few 10% ramps so an average 1 hour race would have in the region of 1000m of climbing!



    Nice... although you missed the chance to make it look like cöck & bälls...

    On a marginally related theme...

    There's a pair of collared doves hanging about in my back garden pretty much all of the time, regularly see them out of the kitchen window necking each other then quick sh4g rinse and repeat. No need for a MF stylee #wankitout there whatsoevs.

    Hard to imagine David Attenborough with "Go on on my son!".
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    We have np more than 2 nesting pairs in the garden at any one time.
    A Collared Dove was sat on the ladder rack of a pick up I was using to cart sand and cement. I watched in amazement and slight horror when it got hit by some raptor at phenomenal speed.
    So the local birds of prey keep the numbers down and I have come to the conclusion that as Collared doves are a bit fat and slow, the best thing to do is sh.ag lots to keep their species going*.
    This winter the local Dove's are sticking together in a flock and there must be a dozen of them. I have to scare them from the bird table.

    *Panda's should take a leaf out of the Dove's books. I mean, all that international scientific attention and all they need to do is bloody sh.ag. Why not feed them beer and kebabs?

    I've seen the same in my garden. Sparrow hawks fly in fast, even crashing through the shrubs in hot pursuit.

    This piece of rusty old tat being advertised for sale on a local farcebork market thing. Now just how much £ do you think is being asked for?

    Unless it's got provenance proving it was dug up by Les Ferdinand, maybe £1 if it's for charity?

    Wow! Mine went up 50%. £210 from £140. (Additional £45 for accidental cover worldwide, unchanged) Will be researching this week....

    I wouldn’t worry too much.

    The reduction is due to being in a high risk area of nuclear destruction which is not included in the cover. They only anticipate the policy being active for 3 weeks.

    An increase suggests your property is not in a primary target area.

    I'm not too sure that Land's End is a primary target area, at least not enough to justify my decrease ;)

    A statement target. Maybe Putin went to Cornwall for a holiday and found Lands end incredibly cheesy.

    Anyhow, back on topic, bloomin beautiful out today, lovely walk over the local fella in the sunshine.
    Unsurprisingly busy out but makes you feel glad to be alive.
