They invented being miserable and frugality, think Foggy in Last of the Summer Wine...

Is that really Classic

 

[172traindriver]

We still look up in awe at the sheer miserly and grouchiness of the Tyke

 

[Andy in Germany]

I can't afford to be rude, the region I live in is called Swabia or Schwaben in German, and its inhabitants supposedly take grouchiness and miserliness to the ultimate extreme.

They also have an almost impenetrable dialect.

Foggy used to panic if the purse had to be brought out, aye, miserable...

"Swabian (in standard German: Schwäbisch) is just one,albeit a very major one, of the dialects of German spoken in Swabia. However, like folk from Yorkshire or the Arcadian parts of the New World, speakers tend to be rather proud of their linguistic heritage"

There's links with this part of Yorkshire there as well.

Good Morning

 

[Mo1959]

Morning. I decided yesterday to have a day off exercise apart from walking as I've run or cycled 10 days in a row. Typically, I get up to a dry and bright morning. Bleeding weather gods don't like me and seem to be having a laugh. If I had been wanting to run or cycle it would have been chucking it down.

 

[Andy in Germany]

Good morning.

Just sprayed a few bits of the developing rando bike that are somewhat vulnerable so hopefully when I do the rest of the varnish later they'll have 'double" protection.

Someone did say Thors Day would be Wednesday, but you went with the BBC forecast.

Using those dribbling spray paints.

What you do is get it all back together, nifty, artistic paint job. Then admire your work. Don't ride it though, you buy another for that.

Dribble, dribble...

My goodness no, I need to get out riding on it: that way the mistakes will be less obvious under the dirt.

Or I can pretend they're 'damage' from riding...
