Overheard in the shop this afternoon, two ladies chatting

"...and his name was Zimmerman"
"Oh that's Bob's name"
"Bob who?"

Wasn't that the holographic doctor in Voyager?

 

[Reynard]

Anyways, I did an hour's worth of sawing and splitting firewood, and I actually feel all the better for it.

Now for a and two custard creams and some writing time.

No, it was the guy who programmed The Doctor (also played by Robert Picardo)

Christmas presents ordered as I can't go shopping: everyone in my family's getting either Irish or Yorkshire hampers.

Except my 16yo who's getting some carbon disc wheels.

That's mean!
You can't eat carbon wheels. The fibre content on the other hand...

Nope. That's the cats' area of expertise Poppy and Lexi are excellent nappers.

I'm sure he ends up being called Dr Zimmerman... There's an episode about him choosing a name.

They'd be a bit crunchy, for sure...

Having recently acquired a very cheap roll of printed cotton, I intend to start making a range of extremely ugly little dolls, but before starting, I'd like to sound out the potential market.

What the hell? Who mentioned toilet rolls? My carefully crafted wordplay is totally wasted here (as am I, having started the weekend early after a traumatic afternoon fretting whether the central heating would pass inspection, and preparing for a fraught DIY replacement of two basin mixer taps - the flexible tails needed an open-ended 11mm spanner but had to be attacked/attached with thin nose pliers - to be continued tomorrow, insh'Allah).

Aren't brake blocks 11mm nuts as well?

Wife’s bike had puncture today. Seems the bikes are taking it in turns. It was my Brommie‘s turn a couple of days ago.

Fairly sure they're 10mm.
Edit: make that very sure. I have a 10mm spanner which fits them, but wouldn't look at the tap tails.
My adjustables were too fat to get into the available space. Make of that what you will; there's a comedic slant available to a suitably twisted mind.
