Good morning all and a Happy St Andrews Day to those who celebrate such things 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Cloudy and mild today, forecast to hit 13° this afternoon.

I have risen!

Morning again. Not long back from a 4 mile jog. Jeez, it was hard work today. One of these days my legs are like lead and the heart rate is high as it was such hard work. I’m not consistent enough with my running so it’s sometimes at least a week between runs which isn’t much good. I think I need an absolute minimum of two runs a week, preferably three to improve and make it feel easier.

I see the problems with the site haven't been fixed yet. Most annoying

Yes, we should get a reduction in our subscriptions.

They should sack the lot of them and put @Drago in charge.

Morning all

Excellent gig by the Kast Off Kinks last night coincided with the Minehead Christmas fair, so it was a fun packed evening all round.
Got to be back home around lunchtime as someone off FB is bringing her son's Specialized MTB around that needs a service and small repair. That'll give me something to tinker with next week.

Cooooeeee. 12 deg here.

I still can't like @Tenkaykev posts.

Seems more odd behavior going on at the BBC. About time it was made to pay for itself.

Anyhoo. Stay safe peeps

Me neither . He will start thinking we don’t like him 😂😀😀

In this day and age it’s very unlikely the program is made by the bbc . Most programs are made by independent production companies.

Morning all . We are having a lazy start to the day as we are still in bed .

But a suspect the lure of proper coffee and croissants will drag us out of our pit very soon. 😂😀

Have a lovely day everyone one , make the most of it as it looking like it’s raining tomorrow.

The LBS phoned. It's new bike day! So this could be the perfect day, beat Leeds (????) and pick up the bike afterwards.

My LBS is Ewood Bikes. I use their car park on match days. It's 7 - 8 minutes from the home of football that is forever Ewood Park.

I've just read Greg Wallace is alleged to have once walked in to the Masterchef studio completely naked. He was wearing a sock over his penis. He then performed a "silly dance."

Mind boggling. What is it with men who feel they can behave in this manner?

What puzzles me is, there must be many people in a studio for a TV production, so, many people must have observed such behaviour. How does he (or anyone else) get away with it more than once?

Is the incidence of such behaviour evenly spread across the TV channels, or, are BBC world leaders in this?

My wife raised this point 10 minutes ago. She was asking how can it go on for years?

I believe it was Kirsty Wark who blew the first whistle. Now, there's a strong woman who takes no cr@p from anyone. Can you imagine stepping out of line in her presence? Yet it seems to have taken some years for she spoke out.

If this proves true, he is the odious little creep he comes over as on TV.

Good morning. I haven't looked outside yet but I can't hear any weather. A slightly odd feeling, there is nothing I should or need to do. Feels a bit odd.

I'll crack on with my exercise routine shortly and follow this with a leisurely breakfast.

Rovers are at home to Leeds. A big game. Leeds are second and looking to go top. A win for Rovers, 8th, might put us 6th. Looking forward to this one.

I thought it would/should be on TV but it's not.

Long time since I've tasted Cointreau, can't even remember what it's like.

Orangey - our third fave tipple.

Drambuie being first and Grand Marnier being second.

I believe KO was moved at police request. There'll be 7 - 8000 Leeds fans. 1.30pm KO limits the drinking time available to both sets of fans..........and the inevitable carnage that follows.
