8 am is not first thing .

I'm still in bed.
10am is 'first thing' chez Dirk.

Crikey is everyone else having a lay in? Morning Daves. Morning Paulus. Grey and a bit dismal outside. 4⁰ already though. I notice the birds aren't singing. What do they know that I don't?

I'll do an hour's jigsaw shortly. Probably pop out to buy a new track pump but might ask for CC recommendations first. My good one is nackered and the replacement I bought 5-6 months ago is shite.

Not much else to report. More coffee ☕ I think.

Oh yes. Forgot. The world has gone mad. Utterly crazy. The first ever "tweet" is up for sale in an online auction. The current winning bid is $100,000. Apparently the tweet belongs to Jack Dorsey and is locked in a secure digital vault.

You couldn't make it up. Who are these fruitcakes? I'll happily accept $100,000 for my first ever CC post.

Do you accept bitcoin ? ( half a sixpence !)

Is there another way to eat chips?

So we're talking thruppence? Yes, I could accept this for an immediate sale with some conditions attached. It would need to be from King George VI's reign and minted in 1946.

OK? Otherwise I may have to give young @Dave7 the opportunity to up his opening 1p. I note he has yet to accept my generous discount.

Geez.........you forgot the Marmite.

 

[Dave7]

Well as you're clearly interested perhaps we could cut to the chase and agree a price now. I'm prepared to meet you halfway between your 1p and my $100,000. It seems fair as you would be saving $50,000.

I'll encrypt it now, Paypal the cash to me and I'll post the password in here for you. Deal??

You know what Paul......I would agree to that, you know I would.....BUT it would not be fair to all the other CCrs.
I will let it run its course

In a butty is my alternative chip eating method.

Don’t like cheese and onion crisps (or any “flavour” crisps), but, ready salted crisp sandwich is the only way to eat crisps

You can try them dipped in ketchup??

Morning

Morning. Chilly but nice here. 6.5 mile walk with over 800 feet of elevation done. Really enjoying my walking just now. Most of the benefits of running but without the pounding on the old body They have completed a section of new footpath and are working on more so will probably head up there more often.

I had them with white wine tbh....very nice

After seeing what ITV payed to buy that much publicised interview I might sell them my life story for a very reasonable ten shillings

 

[oldwheels]

Aunt Bessies are good.
I buy Aldi's own. They have a good selection but tbh some are not good so I stick with the traditional style.
BTW, although we buy "oven" chips I do them in an air fryer.

I just use potatoes for chips. Slice them then 5 minutes or so in microwave and finish in the remoska. Easy and tasty with no fat involved unless you want to spray some on before roasting in remoska.

Geez.........you forgot the Marmite.

Tom sauce would be better of course.
