      How does Youtube's algorithm conclude that having watched that, I next want to watch clips of GB News and Katie Hopkins (someone who I would gladly watch being hit by a windmill)?

      If the latest I have just heard is true, this week isn't over yet I am afraid.  I suggest a stiff drink (or indeed a whole fleet of stiff drinks) on standby...

      You tested your binfluencer status to the limit?

      Did anyone in your road follow suit?

      Its more likely a reaction AGAINST binfluencing...

    Tomorrow is announcement day; we have another exclusive wagon product popping up tomorrow (just before the Hornby announcements) - this time it's with Accurascale. A nice one if you're into industrial stuff!

    As the street's binfluencers we seem to have messed things up this week.

      On the other, photo-sharing, website to which I belong - ipernity - there is a group named 'World of bins'. This was one of my recent contributions - http://www.ipernity.com/doc/philsutters/52194536/in/group/304285

      Not my bin I hasten to add.

    4. Bucoops

      Not even trying! The village I work in has two recycling areas. This was one the first week of Jan - so bins full and a little bit of overflow. The other area was similar!

    Further to last night's announcement that I would today be announcing that we are going to make an announcement tomorrow still holds true. I'm also delighted to announce that Gold and Premium members won't have to wait until tomorrow for the announcement and that I am happy to announce that they will be able to access the announcement later today*.

     

    There was a small clue in yesterday's announcement so another small one would be to say it's 72 on the 30th November.

     

    *I can neither confirm nor deny that the vagueness of these statements is inspired by one of our members in the South-West.

      This reminds me of how I see Kenny Loggins‘s „Danger Zone“ as the perfect tune for a catchy public transport PR video!

      Well, YouTube's advertising bots seem to think Jet 2 Holidays ads are appropriate interruptions when watching a video investigating the crash of Dan Air 1008 in Tenerife with a plane load of Manchester holidaymakers.  I'm sure Jet 2 might think otherwise.

      Its one of the best Documentairies I've seen for years. Happens right under our noses if you will excuse the expression? I'm very old and still don't know half the things that happen in nature every minute.

      Having now got a wonky sense of smell courtesy of COVID, I'll not wash for a week then stand very close to the Memsahib. I'll report on the feedback, in particular how anxious I feel following said feedback.

      At the recent Ally Pally show, one exhibitor had an atomiser wafting around some aromas.

       

      Thankfully, these didn't include certain olfactory delights people at certain shows are reputed to have come to know and love* ... .

      This is starting to sound like one of those "meerkat" ads: "Whilst you open the fridge for the 27th time today - naughty!!"

       

      OK - perhaps not - but everyone needs days away from work every so often - that's why weekends and holidays were invented.

      Therein lies the curse of working from home, Andy. Been there, done that.
