... and dispatch a laptop.. internal delays apparently.. Still, it's here now and I've logged in. Tomorrow will be moaning that I'm having to work again [emoji1787] the last 3 months have shown me I'd be very happy in life if I never had to work again.. Oh.. and they've spelt my name wrong in every ...

IT problems at work and a meddling manager looking to grow the scope of the project AGAIN despite being late and having had this exact discussion a few months ago.

One of my favourite local cycling lanes, once again strewn with McDonald’s rubbish
It really gets to me, we go on about net zero we can’t even put rubbish in a bin

... claim and CD30 (Careless/inconsiderate driving) and hit "get quotes"... The cheapest was Bikesure at £1323... Why do we protect that NCB again? (bandit) I'm almost hoping they write it off now, so I can get something a little cheaper to insure like the rare Aprilia Caponord 1200 (£370 ...

Late to the party, but very glad you got away lightly mate!!

Hope insurance don’t muck around too long and you are back out on a bike again soon.

... users) who seem to brake really hard for the 20's and 30's then 2 mins in get board of driving at this speed and go back to their average speed again !!! Anyway, forget all that it was good to get out on a long run. Totally knackered, more from having to concentrate on the Muppets around me ...

Anyway.. I took the speed out for one last blast before I start working again.. didn't go with as planned, my rear seems allergic to air. [emoji20]

... to matter what I did. At this stage I was doing no real notable exercise. Started regular walking/hiking and the weight is starting to fall away again. Down 3kg in 6 weeks. But my fitness has increased as well and I’m having to carry extra weight just to get the same intensity over 1-1.5 hrs. ...

It's creeping up again. £1.539 seems to be the average near me

My neighbour has just had it again and I'm seeing more Perspex going up at shops and cafe's, might be a tough winter.

... deal as I’ve not used it due 9 months. Went out with Mrs Cookie out to start the running in process. Dry when we left, then we got wet, then dry again. Stopped for a coffee at Doms. Then dry, wet, dry, soaking fooking wet, dry then monsoon as we got home. FFS Her new bike is filthy. Poor thing 😄

Sole engineer today again and our all of our 3 scoping systems decided to pack up at the same time. 2x software, 1x hardware. I'm certainly being tested!

Took wife pillion to BMW dealer, tested F800r, pillion to Triumph dealer, tested Speed Twin 900, then pillion home again. Mrs Cookie finally has a new bike. Box fresh SpeedTwin 900 in a dark metallic green, arrives Friday. I’ve traded my VFR against it as it’s not being used, I’m ...

Yeah...it's the first episode, and I remember seeing it 3 or 4 years ago. The horrible dubbing isn't doing it any favors.
It reminds me of The Hunger Games, another show I never really got into. I'd watch it again though.

Cheers guys, 51 again! Had a really nice day. Nice breakfast with the kids and out for a curry with the rest of the family.

The best present has to go to this one from my eldest lad, the git!

... to be soooo good....I've literally had to wait for years to see this band, while Covid put things on hold, dates got canceled, then moved back again & again, etc. I'm moderately excited about this. THIS IS GOING TO FRICKIN' ROCK!!!!! (rock) (rock) (rock) (rock)

"The Blacklist" Loved watching that, its getting back to a good watch again. Now hooked on Glitch, an Ozzy series, well worth a watch.... My way of watching programs has changed so much in the last few years, it really is a binge fest most of the time!!! ...

starting up the platform process again post 5 day maintenance shut down... the wells are looking wobbly and a good percentage of us are hoping it comes back at reduced rates bringing us closer to the end

... or two ago. For the life of me I can't remember what it was I had eaten, but I do remember that it was something I hadn't tried before (and won't again). Some Mexican dish or sommit.

been to my second physio appointment and finally out of a sling , surprised how hard he pushed me to get moving again
