grrr666 is very much a weekend warrior so I doubt MPG will matter to him.

This is almost 100% correct. Except if it's a sunny Tuesday morning or a bright Thursday afternoon I can go for a ride
then too. Any time I want really, my weekend is 7 days long. Every. Single. Week. A luxury of not having to work
because my portfolio of investments, and high earning wife keep me in complete and utter, very comfortable idleness.
So if you could be a love and refer to me as a fair weather rider from hereon out then at least you'd be digging me
out correctly. Cheers mucker! Thumbs Up

Had a pick up in Guildford this morning, gave me a chance to hack round the M25 for a few junctions, also tanked up while I was down there saving me a few pennies.

That's gotta be another shit me-self euphemism right? You baked some homemade brownies in your mustard y-fronts with the brown piping?

Fragrantly warm, and gooey on the inside, with a delicate crust!?

After a think, I reckon this is the right place for it.

Earlier this evening I fell down the stairs from the very top all the way to the bottom and I hit EVERY fecking step Shocked Evil or Very Mad .
I now have a really painful elbow and the base of my spine (Coxys) feels like I’ve been kicked by a horse.
My knee hurts and I’ve got an assortment of carpet burns.

However, I’m still in one piece and can still think straight AND everything still moves the way it’s supposed to Thumbs Up
Sleeping in my own bed tonight and not a hospital bed, yay!


You know domestic violence can happen to men as well don't you?
Just sayin if you need to talk...

Managed to rejuvenate my old works music amp.
The volume control (rotary encoder type) has been slowly deteriorating, turns out it just needed opening up and cleaning.
Might last another twenty years.

More than likely as it'll have real lead based solder connections. Much more resistant to corrosion and movement than the modern environmentalist shite.

Spill counter!!

I do hope you're alright, Uncle Pepperooch Shocked
That does sound a bit of a tumble for an old feller.

No doubt it will be all black and blue in the morning.
Hope its not too bad, and that you're only creaky for as short a time as possible xx Wub xx

Had a really good ride to the Lakes. First real ride I've had on the bike since I got it at Xmas. All I've been doing so far is a daily 70 mile motorway commute so it was nice to ride just for fun.

I finally got an Openreach engineer round to sort out the slow speeds on my BT Infinity (<30mb on a 76mb circuit).

Apparently there is some problem between where the line enters the house an my master socket.

Locating the problem would means lots of hassle for him so he suggested fitting a new master socket in a different room.

I was going to pay to have the socket moved at some point so that saved me > £100 and got my speed up to 73mb/s

Where from, it matters.
If local half decent outlet then cool, if KFC then very uncool.

Someone in my village has some racing pigeons and they are out doing circuits above my road. I quite like the sound as they circle round before disappearing again.
