    all the time. it is ridiculous attire unless you look after an estate in Victorian times.

    i suspect that you are a hipster. do you have a beard?

    a hipster (beard, stupid hair, 3 piece tweed suit) was on my train yesterday. his doris, dressed in jeans, trainers and a coat looked embarrassed to be with him.

    bizarrely he wasn't cool and looked like every other hipster I passed in the street.
    I will be growing a beard for the next 6 weeks due to only having one arm available for shaving. I find that the contours of of my face require two arm manipulation in order to get a clean shave.
    I think I am about 30 years past hipster age.

    Depends on whether your wearing a wet or dry suit.

    when working on an oil rig.
    I wouldn’t know as I my only knowledge of oil is it’s the stuff you put on your chain or forget to put in your car.

    I found a wallet yesterday while exiting the Westgate 'development' in Oxford. Woohoo. Party time it is.

    No, I was having a sh1t day and it cheered me up to seek out the security office and hand it over, to security staff who promptly thought 'party on'... :mrgreen:

    Not having to put up with 4 pages of pictures of England rugby players running up a slope carrying a 10kg weight and headlines about how good they are after they were MARMALISED AGAIN at the weekend.

    You can get a TUE for tablet?
    Good tablet is good but only in small amounts. Bad tablet is worse than Marmite.

    Agree totally Pinno it has to be the soft melt in the mouth stuff, not the rock hard variety.

    Asked the missus to check out any Bike Sale groups on facebook - as I don't do facebook and have a few bits to clear from the garage.

    She spent the next half hour looking at >£10k super bikes commenting that there's a lot of money in bikes.

    Should hopefully help when I'm trying to (unsuccessfully) sneak some "bargains" past her in the future.

    The current version of Top Gear. I think it's working quite well now they've got rid of Chris Evans and tweaked it a bit. Let's be honest, the Clarkson version had gotten really sh1te before it was axed (and apart from the opening episode) The Grand Tour is everything that was bad about Top Gear ........on stilts. Matt LeBlanc and the new team are doing a good job IMHO.

    I have only watched the last one when they were in Japan but I have to say it was really, really good.

    WTF is tablet? I assume it's not an electronic device or pills.

    I tend to avoid any foodstuff that is from north of the border for the benefit of my health!

    I thought when Evans got taken on he would give it a much needed format refresh but he just carried on doing the same old rubbish, just even more badly. I haven't watched again since the first couple of that series as the trailers made it look like more of the same but might give it another go it it has improved.

    90% sugar, 10% fat.
    Or thereabouts.

    Hard Talk on the BBC early in the morning.
    Picturing Chris Morris as the presenter. He was ahead of his time, and scarily accurate.
