No probs. Don’t forget if you want any of those geeky tunnel facts I’ll likely be awake for some time now

Nope. Best message gerontious. Not sure he wants the times on here

Ah yes the karaoke king might put in an appearance

Depends on the tolerance levels, have a suspicion @rennie could soak up one or two, might be a problem staying awake though

Aah distraction, goes very well with coffee you know.

LIES!!! I reckon it takes you at least 3 coffees to build up enough steam to get to work. Plus you’ve found the time to reply here so there’s gotta be a hot beverage in the equation lurking somewhere.

Good evening, how many coffees so far?

Enthusiasms infectious isn’t it- booked the tunnel crossings Itll be my first channel tunnel experience, anyone wants any geeky tunnel construction facts Im your woman! Oh dear this excitements not going to help me sleep, especially as it feels a bit like I’ve booked the ending of Covid

Hohoho good luck with that holy grail! Although you do occasionally hang around here so I’m thinking you could probably drop the ‘sensible people’ part

Ah I hadn’t thought about that connection. Let’s go with Elephants. That’s relatively safe right?

I wanna go. Although I can imagine sliding down and realising I’d left my bag at the top

Glad it worked out What are you going to keep your eye out for, I’m thinking gorilla conservation management or space shuttle pilot might work?

@goat I might have missed the update but what happened, did you tell your boss you’d need the reference before you got a firm job offer?

Where’s @Tiggie to tell you not to go political?

Good god no, merely referring to wasting prize money!

I think that’s one of the few things you can still get free on the NHS

Hehehe gotta love a bit of enthusiasm.

Had to go to the germfest that’s Bristol centre today and watched a woman step off the pavement in front of a lorry. The lorry driver saw her and wasn’t going very fast so no drama but her daft decision to step out shocked her so she stopped walking and jumped up and down. So there’s now a woman pogoing up n down in front of a lorry with a large bobble hat flapping about. My confused expression and the drivers met at the same time, we couldn’t drive on cos we were laughing too much. Brilliant. Love a bit of comedy gold with a random motorist and the no splatting was a bonus.

@KiwiBob nice work. Just a little rerun on an easier bike and mod one is yours!

Congrats @mthinesy that’s great news nearly there now!

Crikey I’m sorry @James in Brum this thread would have stayed buried back in June if I hadn’t of asked. Sorry about that!

Now now I’m from the West Country you know, inbreeding is the sturdy foundations that produced all those spade like hands n feet that toiled the land that fed you, it’s not to be mocked

They didn’t come back, the posterior capsule (the back of the bag the new lens is resting in) can sometimes thicken giving the same effect as a cataract. This is easily remedied with an outpatients appointment and a bit of laser. Doesn’t hurt, takes 10 mins. Many people are prone to over dramatising anything to do with their eyes because having anything at all wrong can be very anxiety provoking. Lost count of how many frightened patients have told me their neighbour said “they take your eye out and dangle it on your cheek” which is impossible to do without blinding someone, the optic nerve isn’t on a spring but their neighbour told them so it must be true... Or how many patients wear their eye patch about for days, sometimes for what they feel is extra protection but often so relatives can see they’ve had something done
