Wifey instructed me to grill chicken wings tonight, which she set up to marinade all day, but it is pouring out ;-(

I’ve just drank a Newcastle brown ale.

It's a bit misleading to show just coronavirus deaths and not show deaths from other causes alongside. Certainly the UK's stats have been manipulated to give a higher death toll than actually exists by confusing positive tests with cause of death.

If I pop mi clogs due to non treatment of a known condition, and the lack of treatment due soley to covid, what's to blame?

Cats are fed, and I'm just waiting for my veggies to finish steaming.

I wasn't paying attention and worked a few minutes past 5pm

I think I need to have a lie down

Put in for overtime!

Mine gets dearer. Stuck with Rias as nobody I have found recently will even quote due to age and no blemishes on my record. I have been warned by somebody with no axe to grind that I may get a quote but it will probably only be for one year and then no certainty of getting another.
Mind you mine is due at the end of October so fingers crossed I get any.

Have you tried Saga They do look a bit pricey though

My blue recycling wheelie bin hasn't been collected.

I have washed and blow dried my hair.

I also now have a

And it currently isn't raining here.

Wish I had enough to blow dry

The last ad I saw for Saga gave an age limit of 55 for new business. I was with Saga at one time and then they refused to renew due to age. Cannot remember the age but I think it was 70.

My Saga quote was quite reasonable. Not as cheap as a few other places, though.

Had cold roast pork, apple sauce, a jacket tattie and cavolo nero for supper.

Managed to get to the bottom of the silver pencil conundrum this evening. A bit of patience trawling through listings on the 'bay and a bit of sweet talking, and I've picked up a mint & boxed 1994 sterling silver (hallmarked) Yard-O-Led "diplomat" pencil for 20 notes.

It's in the deco style rather than actual art deco, but at least I don't have the worry of condition issues, engraved initials, bidding bunfights and such. It's a compromise I'm happy to make to stay within my budget.

Happy Reynard.

Have to admit I just about fell off my chair when I looked up how much they are new...

I have about dried out now after my commute home. It was light rain when I left work, it continued for about 20 minutes then decided to up the ante to very heavy rain until I reached the bottom of my street when it suddenly stopped and the sun came out. In all 20 minutes in light rain and 40 in heavy. I'm so glad I took my lights as some of the roads I have to ride on have no pavements never mind a cycleway.

I got a reasonable price from QuoteMeHappy.com when I was almost at retirement age. They may be worth a look. They're a purely internet based company.

You're likely to be one of many.

Everything finally packed for a trip to the Irish National TT/road races, we're up at 4am for a 9am ferry. National TT is Thursday (son's off early-ish, with riders such as Nicholas Roche, Ryan Mullan & Ben Healey about 40 minutes later), with the road race on Saturday morning.

The race manual's still not arrived ...

No clue where the HQ is, or any other details. The Irish do like to do things very last minute
