And your own!
At just under a cubic metre a day.

Speak for yourself

I'm watching La Boheme on TV. @vernon's butler hasn't appeared yet.

Thats because he's been busy cleaning up my two Amal carburettor spanners.

 

[vernon]

I've often thought about playing the guitar again...

I've been thinking of getting my bagpipes out again.

 

[vernon]

I've just eaten a full chocolate orange. @User14044 said it qualifies as one of my five per day.

 

[vernon]

As suggested by @vernon I've just googled Amal spanner while Mrs R was looking over my shoulder. I'm in deep trouble.

It's an 'm' Rocky an 'm' you fool. Get your glasses fixed.

 

[vernon]

Have Fenton he's a dab hand at typing.

Amal carburettor spanners look like this.

 

[vernon]

I had an Amal carb on my Triumph Tiger Cub (which I bought in 1973)

If it was a Monobloc carb then I've got the spanners to fit. I swapped my Tiger Cub for a BSA 175 Bantam Bushman. The Cub was a spiteful starter.

I thought you'd have larger nuts Vern.

 

[vernon]

I thought you'd have larger nuts Vern.

It's cold innit.

I had a BSA Bantam D7

 

[Maverick Goose]

I used to have a boss who talked a lot of BS

 

[vernon]

Direct Line Insurance lowered their quote for my car insurance renewal by £25 when I rang them to say that I was going to buy a cheaper policy elsewhere.

 

[vernon]

Peter Conrad is spouting some contrived verbiage on Radio Four but I can't be bothered to get up and switch it off.

 

[Shut Up Legs]

I just wrote a screen saver in C++, using the MinGW compiler running in Cygwin, integrated into Eclipse running the CDT plugin, and using OpenGL for the graphics.
It's amazing how 'trippy' you can make a screen saver, just by varying values in fields and vectors.
