Mrs F's birthday tomorrow. Bought her a replacement Smartwatch after her old one kaputted. Taking her to 20 Stories (Manchester) for tea. Followed by a comedy night at a local bar, then staying over in a little boutique hotel in Northern Quarter.

Got a cracking rate on the hotel being mid week and only booked it on a whim.

Just looking through the first few pages, I can see why it escaped my notice... That's really not my cup of tea. Free verse, that is.

Although the poetry in motion thread that's linked to it is actually rather fun - that one I do remember reading.

On the other hand, give me something to watch with wheels and an engine - preferably four, but two or three are eminently acceptable - and I'm in seventh heaven. Note, for "engine" also read "battery"

I'm struggling with the Scalextric too much bumping & banging for me, for that I watch BTCC or Stockcars

TCR is slightly smaller than Micro, but you've lane changing.

The perennial plague (although I wouldn't call it that) of a single-make series...

Mind, for someone who's watched her fair share of assorted oval racing, rubbin' is racin'

I'd rather see some sharpened elbows than no overtaking at all.

P.S. Don't assume I'm condoning crashes etc

"No slot" slot car racing.

"No slot" slot car racing.

Not trying to be funny, but how does that work?
