It's absolutely chucking it down here on the mean streets of Shepherds Bush, W14.
I'm looking forward to Doomsday headlines tomorrow.

Suppose doomsday beats the headline deadline?

Owing to a pocket malfunction, I had to retrieve my car keys from deep, inside the lining on my tracksuit bottoms.

I feel your pain.

Shaking a leg didn't work?

I think that the general idea is that Doomsday is the last post. No late comers are allowed.

Time for a few miles me thinks

Slightly confused, but I think it's 06:37.

Maybe true but it's a sad fact the road accident rate always shoots up with putting the clocks back. Not sure the reasoning that it benefits farmers stands up any longer given how many carry out farm work in the dark evenings, farm yards floodlit and powerful lights on tractors.

Thing is now we are on 'proper time' or as it is known GMT when the clocks change in the spring to 'summertime' or 'daylight saving time' that is artificial a fact not really noticed by many

Good morning.

I appear to have a fruit fly infestation.

I've cleaned every surface and packed all the food away, emptied the bins and put up sticky traps, but they are still buzzing about. Does anyone have a way of getting rid of them?

Will there be a race to be the last one to post ?

Time flies like an arrow...
Fruit flies like a banana.

I know that but for modern life and climate change keeping on BST surely would be better. The lighter GMT mornings are not that beneficial to many compared to longer afternoon daylight from BST. It would be interesting to see if anyone does an electric consumption comparison between last week and this week. I would think with everyone having to put lights on earlier in the afternoon there will be a massive uplift in consumption.
