Why is it every time I see a squirrel that the Mission Impossible music plays in my head? Or is this just me?

No amount of advertising, or cute animals will entice me to drink Carling.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

But if you did, obviously you'd be able to do what Squirrels can do.1 -

Those Carling ads from the 90's were great - they don't make them like that any more, sadly.

The apoplexy on display in a Exeter FB thread about some planters for a LTN in Exeter actually amuses me. All the usual tropes about 15 minute neighbourhoods etc being trotted out... one particularly enlighteded response suggesting stopping building any new houses and widening roads. I think it's the fact that they are still going to be sitting in traffic jams being cross while I serenely pedal past that's the icing on the cake.
Obviously I'd be cheered up even more if they realised that you can't ever redesign what is essentially a Roman/medieval road layout that has a major river involved to accommodate everyone who wants to drive and park in the middle of it.0 -
Haha, one of my pupils told me that his father was trending on Twitter, for his questioning of Carl Heneghan at the covid enquiry.

Impressive delivery there. Give the pupil extra marks from me.1

I have mentioned this before that there used to be a road race circuit round that area that went through a ford. You hit it at 30 mph plus and came out at 10 mph and wet. Your Velcro straps on your shoes used to come undone.0

I still remember the 'John Player girls' that used to sell cigarettes in the intervals in the 40-over matches in the 1970s. They appeared to have been selected for the amount of coverage they possessed to stop rain falling on the packets of cigarettes in the trays suspended from straps round their necks.0

People publicly falling for satire (though I'll admit that this is rather close to reality) - see the comments.

I can't read TwiXer. Probably just as well since my opinion of some is at an all time low. I don't need further confirmation.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

As much as I find the turbo boring, having it outside under a clear 'tarpaulin' when it's raining hard is quite satisfying.
Might have to listen to this this afternoon... some of the best harmonies of any of the great American songbook.

Ha, despite the wifi question (channel 155 being the offender), I've just discovered that through my new VoiP function I can now use my old landline number via the Talktalk Digital Voice app on the mobile, so that when I'm in France I'll have the same access as I would in the UK, and it can all go via my cheap-as-chips French data. Although at the moment Giffgaff give free roaming and normal calls, that's capped at two months, so this potentially would bypass that restriction on voice calls if, as planned, I manage to reduce my workload and can spend longer in France.
Well, other than that, I quite like new techy things to play with. Must get someone to ring my landline number to see if it works...
Just a bit sad I don't have my first phone number which I registered in my own name in 1985, which was Tedburn St Mary 223. Still, I've had the current one for 31 years.0 -

Today I finished my last section of the Cornish Coast Path.
No in a way that makes it any sort if physical accomplishment but still...
A very satisfying thing to have done... you can't beat a good coast path, and the South West coast path takes a lot of beating.1 -
Learning a new tune suitable for the weather. You can laugh at the somewhat compromised quality of the player, but breath control is quite tricky on the turbo....
