5k or 10k depending on mood.

Nice. I'm up to 10k also which I do for no other reason than to improve my mood! It's a powerful antidepressant and helps my chronic insomnia.

Respectfully yours,

Andy.

Yes, it's a great mood lifter, especially in the gloom of winter.

So who's Ludicrous Sextus ?

Infamy, Infamy! They've all got it in for me!

Romani Ite Domum!

I had that as an earworm the whole time.

Saw them in Finland just before Christmas, where they filled the sky. Made up for my wasted trip to Iceland......

Must have been exciting. It's on my bucket list.

No, can I take a message?

Has he been round again?

He is in Department S

Look but don't touch!

(ie Plastic, chequebook)

You know that you want to Al!

Go to Track Shack as an alternative.

Surely that's Christmas rapping?

Innit, bruv.

Respect!

Don't believe the hype. The engines are rated at 940hp up to 40mph before they then derate back down to 750hp, and acceleration becomes sluggish, frankly. A HST will catch up as its power kicks in higher up the speed range and will cruise past it effortlessly at 125mph like a true thoroughbred, while IEP flaps along struggling to maintain 110mph like a geriatric penguin.

I'll admit the initial acceleration is rocket like, however. End of the day, IEP is what it is due to how DfT specified it, but going by first impressions, Hitachi have made a damn good fist of it.

What did you tweet now?

5 or 6 this week ... but I make the most of it as months will go by before I see another one. They don't do well in cold winters, either, and the local waters around here are already turning icy.

5 or 6, not bad!

My wife and I see one on the banks of the Gloucester & Sharpness canal now that we've moved to Quedgeley.

Wasn't there just 60024?

You might have a stalker.

But a tree is blocking the water flowing...

I'd always assumed kingfishers were early-morning birds, having only ever seen them within an hour or so of dawn. They never seemed particularly bothered by humans in close proximity.

I'm not a morning person so most of the times I've seen them has been near dusk!

There were lyrics under the noise?

H to He Who Am The Only One

TORN BY VULTURES!

...and anyone who says different is looking for a punch up the bracket!

I happy, I'm happy, I happy, I'm happy, (and I'll punch the man that says I'm not)...

You can't fight in here; this is the War Room!

I an just surprised that the folks at the other end of the Pyrenees didn't beat them to it. We all should be aware of the leanings of the man with the flag. I might even change my avatar to the flag of my choice.

Each to his own

Progmajestic!

Had to work, otherwise might well have been there. Enjoyed Mr Hackett's two recent (Oct 15, Apr 17) shows in town, though.

FarceBerk definitely needs one, never mind here...

one mans ######### is another mans $$$$$$$

We could also do with a 'knob' button

That was quick - it took me longer than that to work out how to wire a single slip.

Yep, I agree, pretty speedy in my experience!

I don't know why I wrote double slip as it was a single slip. Turned out the wiring was OK, but I was having a mental block about how it should operate.

Try also the Oban to Craignure (Mull)/Outer Hebrides ferries in the west coast of Scotland; some come very close to the boat!

What were the numbers?

Minke whale from the Ferry over to Harris a couple of years ago

I put my riding boots on for the first time in about five years last week, to say they were stiff was an understatement.

Give them a bit of leather food / oil. They should soften a little.

I still have a pair of wellies that are 30 years old!

We don't talk about THAT sort of thing in our house!

I had a lovely curry from Wells market.

There's ALWAYS something going on, Constable

drive a couple of woodscrews through the body 16mm apart at each end to act as guides? You can screw them down a bit to raise cornering speeds or screw right into the baseboard in Hurricane season!

Or you could model some early 1800s plateway and put the flange onto the rail.

Just fit a steering wheel, like the Pendolino had at Grayrigg, according to the tabloids.

Buy a DAB Radio!

she's still not played any "book of mormon" tunes too

Me, me, me, me, me !!!!!!......

Horse is offering to pluck your strings. I'd run a mile, if I were you.

Oi!

Make that two miles!
