Dear Mr. Boy. It seems that you are suffering from Chronic Pannier Deprivation Syndrome. This is an illness that seems to be spreading, but can easily be cured. There are many sources on line who can supply you with a pannier, which once you've had it delivered, you can lovingly gaze upon it, and indeed cherish it. However, do be wary of @MrWolf's rule of pannier ownership. Adrian

Abandoned rails in the road.....(or elsewhere...)

That drags me back 30 years. I forget who the company was (they eventually ended up as part of Virgin), but they spent ages digging up all the pavements in the area putting in cable. At the time, I had a flat, so a group of us asked the freeholder if we could get connected up. He came back some time later and said no. We assumed that was because he couldn't work out how to make something out of it. I subsequently got talking to a colleague who's girlfriend worked for the company. It turned out that they had spent so much money on digging the road up, that they couldn't afford to make any complicated connections, which we would have been. Adrian -

And the cake. Do not forget the cake. Adrian -
Last year, our usual postie asked me to take in a parcel for next door. The resident genius had left a note on the door asking for parcels to be left in the recycling box. When he came around to collect it, I asked him why he thought it was a good idea. "I couldn't think of anywhere else" was the answer. Adrian

Just remember where the B Ark ended its journey. Adrian

Almost true. 40 years ago, the local council had the privilege of employing me. We had a parking area at work resurfaced, and there was more on the lorry than they needed. That evening, chatting to my father, he mentioned that someone had turned up late that afternoon with some spare tarmac, and did he want his parking area doing. Adrian

Presumably not to be confused with the neighbouring Wisbleat and Upwool. Adrian

Heading into London last night, it looked as thought Dominique's London end was resting on the first pier after the canal span, so perhaps they've started moving it across for the next section. Adrian

I'm pleased to report that my subscription copy arrived at the Manor House this morning. That accounted for this afternoon's lack of activity. Adrian
