There's some real twats about. All our family dogs are being kept on a tight leash even when/ where they'd normally be off it. This is to minimise their risk of exposure to the plague as they can carry it too.

Now in England or Wales the midges generally don't bother me and as I spent a lot of time fishing / hill walking I certainly met them. My wife on the other hand is as susceptible to the non-Scottish variety as to the Scots ones. They all bring her out in hives. She also got bit by Norwegian, Faroese and Icelandic ones. Consequently in midge infested areas she is the one with not a single spot of skin exposed. Looks like an extra out of Star Wars.

Ah so. Where we used to live we got a lot of visitors at the weekend who'd bring their dogs and let them crap all over. Eventually it got so bad that the council started policing it and after a few people were fined the message started to get through. Where I live now despite a lot of local dogs there's very little fouling. Civilization has its benefits.

Is this the same guy who solved the problem of squared off tyres with a belt sander?

Go on - I'll bite. WTF do you want a flock of inflatable sheep for.? Are you opening some kind of kinky brothel for sheep sh@ggers? Do they come complete with wellies or do they have to bring their own? My mind is boggling.

Your shiny metal ass is probably midge resistant. For us lesser mortals of mere flesh and blood we ain't.

I was once fishing at a remote hill loch when the wind dropped in the evening. Within minutes the air was literally full of the evil little bast*rds. We got driven off the water and had to take refuge in our tents. Nearly gassed ourselves using midge killer to kill the ones that got inside. Fortunately tents were pretty midge proof but they're a real downer on activities.

North Welsh at that, Tremadoc I think in what used to be Merioneth. Gwynedd now?

Bob's best one time offer for unbreakable bars? Made in China and guaranteed Covid 19 free. Also proofed against rust for at least 14 days.

Never liked Lennon. The man was so stoned and up his own arse that I can't imagine anyone feeling the need to off him because of something he knew.

My first two houses had wooden Georgian style windows. I absolutely hated them. They were a purple bitch to paint and the damned starlings used to eat the.putty. I've no idea why. In those days I was too poor to replace the windows with PVC double glazing. Fortunately the current house has the best plastic windows money can buy. Winner.

Guns n Roses. Jarrod Dickenson. Plus whatever Spotify throws out on a search.

I've visited Portugal and thoroughly enjoyed it. Would go again assuming we ever get out of house arrest.

Well it gets worse. My wife is bipolar and has been since 1984. She goes long periods without any manic episodes and never gets depression and needs no drugs in these times. This time the interval was 8 years so not bad. However this has been a particularly bad episode and she's in a bad way - worst I've seen in fact ( this is the 6th time). To cap it all half an hour ago I got a call to say she'd started coughing so was being moved to another ward to be tested for Covid 19. We then have anything between 24 and 72 hours to wait for a result. Depending on that result is where we go next. Life sometimes is full of shit.

Had a solo ride today to take some stuff in for my hospitalised wife. Also got a face to face chat with one of her primary carers. Could so easily have burnt off some rage on the way home but I was good. Still building a pressure head of steam though.

I am sure it's fake / video game but still good for a bit of a yowzer. Having seen bus drivers in India performing almost as bad ......

Seeing Billy Connolly's name reminds me that I met him in February 1987 in Dubai. He was eating at the next table and my Captain's wife got his autograph. We all had tickets for his gig and it was brilliant. He didn't tone it down at all which given it was in Dubai was a calculated risk on his part.

I'm glad your well enough to be bored As hideous as it is it does have potential as a barbie. It's probably made in China and infected with some ghastly disease for which there's no cure. Oh wait China's already given us that. The gift that keeps on giving......

Keep us penned up for too long and there may be quite a demand for potential murder weapons!

I really dislike that ! Cheers Ian Ditto. It's horrible.

Jesus Christ on a crutch. I felt ill just watching it.

I voted for the kick to the tads but reserved purely for the Chinese Communist Party and any of their Covidiots in the West. I'd actually like to upgrade it to a sledgehammer to the nuts.

Cleaned and lubed the chain. So dull.

Only when they're not warmed up. Start my engine then tog up with helmet and gloves and annoy my neighbours then off I go, usually without snatching.

Serves the scrotes right.
