    oh.
    my.
    word.

    sheer, utter, total perfection.

    i think i've just spaffed myself.

    its the TDNFNATN of bicycles.

    grazie, grazie!

    Right, ebay here we come.

    Yeah it had some serious provenance queries... a vague possibility it was actually one of the bikes Cipo rode...

    And the asking price was suitably eye-watering...



    its just amazing.

    So cool.
    So Spinergy.
    So yellow.
    Will annoy soooo many clubbies.

    Next door's kitten was howling to go back inside out of the cold earlier. It came to see what I was doing but it's still too timid to come in and sit on a radiator. I've prepared some culinary bribes for next time.

    You keep doing that and it will move in.

    One of my friends, she is a cat person, has stolen has adopted looks after one of her neighbours cats. Denies the cat is 'hers' but the cat lives there 99.9% of the time.
    Previous neighbours got a fawn coloured kitten which used to love climbing up the fence to see what bike fettling I was up to. I'd look up and there would be a little face watching me through the gap.
    It ran away in the end, I think it got sick of the constant screaming kids and adults.
    They eventually got another, and then moved out about 12 months later. The new cat wasn't having any of it and left to come and live back up here. I'm pretty sure they took it with them and didn't dump it, but wouldn't be surprised if they did.
    It decided to move in with the people across the road.

    Late start, wife bonked, coffee drunk, breakfast on the go. Seriously unimpressed with the size of the latest snow flakes.

    So who's the frozen gnome next to my pond with dog p1ss on him?

    Afternoon all, went for a walk out with the hounds in a slightly soggy and snowy winter wonderland. They like the snow, especially as they can eat it.



    Now watching more soggy white stuff fall and wondering if its worth running later on. Time for lunch I reckon.

    I am unimpressed by this "Beast of the East", it's blue skies here in Bucks.

    Get yourself over to Lincolnshire then , cold wind , snow and a mixture of sleet
    Performance the course up in Lincs LD? I remember having a track day or two at Cadwell called off due to snow in March many moons ago.

    Tesco shopping collection from the depot. 2-4 time booked. Just been told that I have another half hour before the van arrives. Intermittent turning the engine on to warm up. Lucky I have lots of data should I need to start watching the rugby.

    old next door neighbours stole my cat.

    they said it moved in by itself and was no problem.

    so did it cut the hole in your front door for the new cat flap itself thenyoufuckers? said I.

    We "stole" one of ours (the one that died before Christmas).

    She kept coming round and the wife didn't know where from, so she put a tag on it saying the car kept coming over and her phone number. The person that owned the cat didn't want her and said my wife could have her.

    Our mistake, she was mental. She'd come to be stroked, which if you did she'd attack you. She so just lash out at you randomly sometimes if you walked past her.

    Thanks - I appreciate that. I don’t know how but I survived it. Scarred now.

    Lack of trust, badly treated. I had a cat that adopted me. She must have been stray for a while. Couldn't pick her up for about 6 months. Then we were friends.
    She would listen for the noise of my car and come running out to greet me.
    Got killed on the road unfortunately.
    Never had a cat so loyal - almost dog like. Full of fun. Used to play hide and seek with her in the house.

    Roasting a nice chicken. Roasting several potatoes in lard. Shredded cabbage will be wilted in some of the chicken pan juices. Broccoli. Carrots. Gravy made with homemade stock.

    Not much of the forecast snedge. Just shyte sleet in a strongish northern easterly.

    Boy appears to be turning into Cheech and/or Chong. His father confiscated this lot after catching him in the garden on Friday night. I had all kinds of suspicions, missing money, ravenous consumption of snacks, general dullness and lack of motivation, but hadn't caught him in flagrante delicto, well, not since last summer. His freedom has gone up in smoke...

    Makes me paranoid just looking at that. I was convinced my toothbrush trying to kill me the last time and was paranoid that I’d be paranoid forever, never again!

    Afternoon folks,
    Traditional slow start was enjoyed, should have kept hibernating but had to get provisions. Wobbled back from the supermarket with overloaded panniers. The EPO wanted to get some stuff from B&Q, I think she's going stir crazy from too much time in the house. Unfortunately I had to take her, picked up some coal for the old dear and dropped that round. She complained the heating was making gurgling noises so I baked the radiators for her. Got the fright if my life when I noticed this on one of them.

    Best of luck with that Hoppy.
    Never had that problem with my 2 when they were young unless of course I didn't catch them.
    Drink yes, drugs no.
    With the drinking, I could relate as I did the same.
    Never tried drugs so don't know how I would have reacted.

    But did he inhale?

    I wouldn't worry too much if it's just a bit of spliff. F#ck it even David Cameron tried it and he's as dull as f#ck, although there was the incident with the pig.

    It probably won't be long until it's legal I suspect and drinking seems to be much more harmful

    Problem is, jeff up your gcse and you're stuffed at 16.

    get through gcse
    get through a levels
    get into uni
    get caned & laid

    i submitted that job application today and looking at my exam results could see exactly where i discovered booze, birds and gear.

    AS levels - A and B across the board

    A levels - errr not so much

    Degree - back on track

    But it could have gone so wrong

    seen too many mess up their lives

    point out that it fu​cks his short term memory

    remind him that it fu​cks his short term memory

    tell him that it fu​cks his short term memory

    ask him what it does to his short term memory, if he gets it wrong, tell him what happened to charles freck

    the next thing he knew, a creature from between dimensions was standing beside his bed looking down at him disapprovingly.

    the creature had many eyes, all over it, ultra-modern expensive-looking clothing, and rose up eight feet high. also, it carried an enormous scroll.

    "you're going to read me my sins," charles freck said.
    the creature nodded and unsealed the scroll.
    freck said, lying helpless on his bed, "and it's going to take a hundred thousand hours."

    fixing its many compound eyes on him, the creature from between dimensions said, "we are no longer in the mundane universe. lower-plane categories of material existence such as 'space' and 'time' no longer apply to you. you have been elevated to the transcendent realm. your sins will be read to you ceaselessly, in shifts, throughout eternity. the list will never end."

    know your dealer. charles freck thought, and wished he could take back the last half-hour of his life.

    a thousand years later he was still lying there on his bed with the ayn rand book and the letter to exxon on his chest, listening to them read his sins to him. they had gotten up to the first grade, when he was six years old.

    ten thousand years later they had reached the sixth grade.
    the year he had discovered masturbation.
    he shut his eyes, but he could still see the multi-eyed, eight-foot-high being with its endless scroll reading on and on.
    "and next-" it was saying.

    charles freck thought, it least i got a good wine.


    if he still doesn't get it, an old magneto telephone test set and croc clips is a classic method
