My tea has gone cold.

I've left the shopping there, when I've been told that they're the only "tills" open. I'd go online if I wanted that sort of service from a shop.

I was just after some watch batteries.
It was a frightening experience. I may have to have a lie down .

Will the weather hold off long enough for a ride round Combe later on ?

Speaking of watch batteries, can anyone recommend where I can get really good ones that last. Since the watch place I have used for yonks closed, I can't seem to find a battery that lasts more than 6 months or so...

13.03 is after the 5 hours they needed to come out to me. If they operate on a "we'll say between 8 and 1,but if we can't be arsed we'll come later than that' basis,then they should stipulate that!

It's also 3 minutes after the guys lunch is likely to finish, if your boiler is that impotent to you, then waiting an extra few minutes wouldn't have hurt you, but heyho you seem to like conflict.

impotent

Are you sure that's the right word to use in this instance? I now have to hold you to account for a very... interesting... mental picture.

I thought it was a fitting word, get it plumbing, fitting, I'll get my coat

Leave the coat where it is. Award yourself a beer / cake / bar of chocolate / cigar (delete as appropriate) instead.

Working on "A Secret Shame" is hard going. But I now have two verses and a very dire need for another

Elder Son is coming over all artistic. He's come up with a song tor when he's riding on a shared use path. In German:

"Freude, freude, freude, freude, wann der Fahrradweg ist Frei,
Freude Freude freude, freude, wann sie lassen uns vorbei"

It loses a bit in translation:

"Joy, joy, joy, joy, when the cycleway is free,
Joy, joy, joy, joy, when you let us ride past"

But if you sing the German version to this tune, you'll get the idea:



He says it works pretty well: people move over but don't feel angry or threatened...
