Also the dog needs interaction with its owner surely.

Having been a dog owner for the first 40 years of my life, I concur with you completely Speicher. It never fails to amaze and disappoint me the number of dog owners I see out now that have earphones / headphones on whilst with their charge/s. No intereaction with said dog/s.
I have now been owned by cats; currently nine, for the last 26 years and would never change it now.

Maybe the extra price is for the instructions on how to take it off...

Unfortunately the magnetic tag instructions are attached to the helmet. Which is on my head.

SWMBO just thinks I'm stupid and won't assist.

I have a new posh helmet. It's so posh I can't work out how to undo the magnetic buckle so am currently wandering round the house wearing it.

It's an S-Works Evade in white with cobalt blue. And no, I didn't pay that much; I live in Yorkshire

Very nice! My Spesh helmet is 22 years old, might be time for a change

This character was quite fascinated by my open car door. Or was it the vegan sausage rolls....?

Which is possibly why they're making staff redundant: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-64171008

They’re building a massive “ fulfilment centre " in Poole, very near the Town Centre.

Thanks @rockyroller - it's sorted. Press and slide, slightly counter-intuitively.

What happened to that chap who was cycling around Europe I think who made friends with a stray cat which sat in the basket whilst he cycled ?

And I thought my 6 Cats were a bit excessive.

They can be so helpful at times can't they

With a front brake it'd be legal as it's a fixie and the fixed element acts as a rear brake. It'd also be for grasstrack racing rather than the Fuji I have currently - which ended up in a bush thanks to a certain lady TT champion giving me a "friendly shove" last time out.

Thats too nice for grasstrack.

Yep my old moggie certainly kept down the heating costs in my old flat, Kissa* was like a furry hot water bottle

*At the time I got the kitten my girlfriend was from Finland so I asked "what is the Soumi for cat.......................Kissa

2023 is not shaping up so well. Not even a week in and we’ve had covid ripping through the vulnerable family members, a family friend dying unexpectedly and way before his time, and a much-loved neighbour dying suddenly last night. I am longing for just a normal boring, cold, January.
It is blue bin day tomorrow. Our neighbour who just died always put out his bins on exactly the right day. You never had to check the website, just look out of the window instead. He was always right. This week, he put the blue bin out a day early.
