They just showed some Hobby Horse riding on the TV just now. Apparently it has come from Finland where they were using it as a cheap way of getting children in cities to do exercise. I wonder if it could be converted to cycling, Hobby Cycling. I'll have to see if I can fit a pair of drops to a broom handle.

They have some strange sports in Finland,

Off to the 2nd of our 4 weddings we're going to this year. Time to dust down the old suit!

I thought I could combine my new Idea of Hobby Cycling with 2 friends who own hoops and we could all go for a cycle ride.

Manuka?

If it was manuka honey, @Leedsbusdriver should have gone to Lidl, where it's almost half the price (if it hasn't sold out), or ALDI, though it's in smaller jars and about 2/3rds of the price.

Yes Manuka. But the missus likes the 10+ stuff(whatever that means) I think the Aldi stuff is something like 5+. It really is a minefield buying genuine Manuka honey.

Yes, correct, Aldi's is marked 5+. Like you, I've no idea what is being counted. Manukitude?

I glad you are okay, Did they give you a piece of tennis racket?

A piece of gauze yes. I had the spinal anesthetic and sedation. The anesthetic didn't work fully. I was in some pain for about 20 minutes before they finished. They said it was quite a big hernia,so a lot of pushing and pulling was needed. It's not bad now. In fact i haven't taken a painkiller since the morphine dose, during the operation.

The average age of those in attendance was probably early forties.

The set was a mix of new stuff, some of his old solo stuff, some from Take That and a few songs from elsewhere - including a fab rendition of George Michael's Freedom.

The supporting act was Erasure, and they had everyone dancing and singing along.

A great night out!

I believe Erasure are playing the Corn Exchange sometime soon, if you fancy another boogie.

And who were you out with last night?
