Challenger, no questions.


Will you be drilling the gun barrels on the Lancaster?

The joys of technology! Had to renew insurance, so called the number and was answered by what I assume you'd call AI. It misheard my date of birth but was otherwise quite efficient. Then it connected me to a operator (yeah, I know, but I'm old). We were getting along fine when the phone suddenly decided the call had ended but since she could still hear me and I could hear her we continued. Then, when she finished and the AI returned, the phone decided the call was still connected. Could be they are taking over!

In other insurance related news, my DiL was hit by a lady coming out of a car park yesterday with her car turned upside down! Fortunately while shaken she was uninjured. Which does say something for the car.

Glad she is ok.

"Dambusters" or standard?

I've just switched energy suppliers. Scottish Power can go whistle - they put my payments up by £5 about 6 months ago and, as my contract was coming to an end, I input my meter readings at the end of March to get an idea of how much I'd used. The good news was that my account was £70 in credit, the bad news was they tried to add another £5 to my monthly payments. At least I'll get a decent refund from them shortly.

Hello Bulb Energy who only wanted an extra £3 on my current payments despite me adding a bit to this year's useage to account for the mild winter we've had (just in case...)

I'm trying to decide whether to get red panniers or blue ones...

Ah, now I'm with you. Basically a meat, potato and vegetable stew. Which can also double as a pie filling.

Pasty, without pastry.

What color is the bicycle?

 

[Gravity Aided]

Well the top 3 to chose from are

1/32 spitfire - looks fantastic
1/48 Lancaster bomber

Or finally start the 1/350
Uss enterprise aircraft carrier, I
Built it once but bought it again to do it as a waterline kit with photo etch!

All 3 are big builds but there’s also a space shuttle model
Which would please my grandson and a few tank kits which I

More good Mundane News - I've just won £25 on the Premium Bonds. I'm going to treat myself to a new pair of bib tights to replace the two pairs ruined in recent offs.

And my Post Office savings bond matures this month - part of the interest has already been spent on shiny new wheels

What color is the bicycle?

A combination of red, navy blue and brushed aluminium, with black bars, drivetrain, seatpost and saddle.

Get both.

 

[Jenkins]

I'm with @classic33 on this - get one red & one blue and swap them round each day

 

[Reynard]

Get both.

Hmm... Not sure I can justify four pannier bags. I could get one red one and one blue one I suppose, but wouldn't that look a wee bit odd?

They also come in black, grey and eye-watering yellow.

Motorised, with R/C?

"Eye Watering Yellow", or Black.
