They said that it would feel like being snapped by an elastic band. They failed to mention how big the band was.

On the way out to the M4 this morning I saw 2 Roe Deer running across a field, in the next field were 2 other Deer looking to see what all the fuss was. In a field in Swindon I saw a Fox ambling about and in another field a bit further along I saw another 3 Deer. It was a nice morning for wildlife.

A word of warning. Don't sit behind the rear wheel when you go over a speed bump.

So the new virgin box was delivered but Yodel gave it to neighbour as we were out.
The neighbours son delivers the package after I couldn't get an answer.
Sorry he says but the Husky has chewed the package but it seems ok..


So you left it on the floor for the dog to play with Cheers and yes it is damaged..ffs

I've just acquired n+1 - a vandalised Raleigh Pioneer rescued from outside the local library. Frame, bars, saddle, brake levers, canti brakes, bottom bracket, chainset, 6 speed block and front and rear derailleurs all in good condition, somebody had wrecked the wheels and it looked like someone had already stolen the gear shifters.

I had noted it every day since before Christmas when walking to work and finally asked this evening in the library if they knew anything about it and was told by the Librarian to take it as the council were going to charge them to send someone to take it away.

I can confirm the following
a) Cheap bike locks break very, very easily. I was able to pull it open by bracing my foot against the bike stand and giving the bike a hard jerk.
b) You can break a lock and walk of with a bike in a busy shopping area at 5pm and nobody will bother you.
c) A Raleigh Pioneer gets very heavy after you've carried it 3/4 mile. I really should have went and got the car.

The hospital has given me some very strong antibiotics. No products containing milk 2 hours either side of taking them. I suppose that includes choc choc !

 

[Gravity Aided]

Yes.
I'm not a doctor, but I'm a skilled taker of antibiotics. Drink lots of water, each antibiotic has different diet changes. I have one where I should not take antacids or vitamins 6 hours before or two hours after my antibiotic, or some such. I just set up a pill schedule by the recommendation, then I'm set.

Cab and platform look like Fiat/Chrysler. Very nice. I have to pick up my new to me Nissan Murano today.

You've stopped using 'postman' 'postman' and now use 'postman' 'monkey'?

I almost forgot that I'm not supposed to have milk 2 hours before taking my tablet. I was just about to drink the tea I just made when it suddenly dawned on me.
It is the Calne Model Railway Exhibition today and tomorrow.
