    Why? Despite a dangerous fixation with aprons and recipes, you still have a tenuous grip on the Man Card. That means you are expected to fiddle about, waste time, and above all NOT be productive in any way.

    Or, come pack up my house. That job scares me.
    I'm thinking of what to cook for friends at the weekend, I've cooked and cleaned up, I've fone the kid's lunches, I'm doing a crossword, I have a synapse or two thinking about meetings tomorrow. If I was boozing, I'd be slumped in front of the box.

    Moving house is my biggest hope. Mrs H3 is a terrible hoarder, while I'm a chucker-outer. It would give me a chance to "lose" boxes of crap from when we moved in 7 years ago.

    Sure you said you had sign off for a bike. Anyway, buy it, hang nice things on it, we can go for a pedal, and find cake.

    This.

    Buy it. Buy it. Buy it now. Buy it. You need it, it's a good price, so buy it. Buy it. Buy it now.

    Boring people round? Go to the garage and do some hobbying
    Why go to the garage? Think about it for a moment. Do your hobbying in front of the boring people and there are two possible outcomes either of which is a win.
    They may be appalled and leave. They were boring so that’s a win. Alternatively, they might like it and join in. Actually that’s only a win if they’re hot. But that could be a mahoosive win.

    If you decide to hobby when no one is around you could film it and show your collection of hobbying films to the family at Christmas, weddings, funerals, bah mitzvahs.

    I personally reckon it's a winner winner dinner is a roast chicken.

    Just get it altogether in a big pile in the garden and set fire to it. Nina did this to all my stuff and I still laugh at the money today.

    Then go and hobby in her mum's bedroom while her mum is asleep. That's another video for the collection sorted.

    As if I haven't got enough to do and then I go out and buy another old German banger*. Hee hee. You can come up and polish it if you're bored Hoppy. With your motoring background and heritage from that place, you're probably a natural. It's in your gene's whack.

    It's metal, so none of your wise cracks.

    Just 6 WS?!

    Frikkin rain on the M6 today. One lane closed due to it turning into a river. 5 hrs 30 mins to go 206 miles. Bloody Brexit.

    I do like to polish stuff. I've sharpened one of my knives to a razor edge. Might do another.

    I want it, but don't need it. Saved myself 150 quid there. Now, what to spend it on.

    Firstly - it took longer yesterday to do similar miles

    Secondly - as I know what you bought - bet you were happier than me in the traffic

    Anyhoo, an Assos jacket ain't going to stop you from being boring.







    Soz mate. Couldn't resist. Besides, when someone in the office asks you 'what the hell is that?' and you say... 'it's a BonKa'... :roll:

    In retrospect, you could say you were a 'Bonka in a Bonka who occassionally Bonks'.

    That would really confuse them
