Morning

[Wtf is The Decameron anyhoo? Why don't you quote something more profound and deep meaning like say, Tintin SG?]

Dull here. Stuff to do. Dad's taxi for Shorty who's curling twice this week and twice next week.

Bravely cycled in on semi damp roads, bike now ruined, might push it home. Racing fatties on e-bikes does nothing for the ego.

Slowish start after beer, wine, food, port. Half day of coffee, tea and food then leave God's Own and back over the border.

What was God's own like - was it right proper?

wtf do you mean by 'wtf is the decameron', it's almost as if you didn't do classics

it's a masterpiece of european literature, written c. 670 years ago

to escape the black death, a bunch of florentine friends head off to the countryside and while away the time wining and dining, and taking turns to tell stories on a theme of the day, there are ten days, hence decameron

antiochus (iv) dates back much further, reputedly a bit mad and prone to nastiness, though this may be due to fake news, some have it that his flesh rotted and went wormy before he died, i can think of several politicians i'd like to see go the same way

Pinno's idea of 'doing classics' is probably spannering his cars...

Morning Peeps,

Busy morning on things tax related and much stupidity to deal with. Got to be a 'mentor' to some lucky person in the business and got an intro meeting this afternoon - I suppose a change is as good as a rest.

Morning (just)

After feeling fine yesterday and full of energy then today is the polar opposite. Long snooze.

Gotta get up else won't sleep tonight. Maybe more video transfer after lunch. Or model ship building. Maybe more napping?

i could've added that the thread title was an allusion to us not having been here long and the leader is already going off 😀

This is quite correct.

...and no, I didn't do the classics. I thought SG would have worked that out long ago. It doesn't mean I won't indulge in exploring seemingly obscure thread titles.
