This might sound like a stupid question, but does it feel that cold?

 

For example, it was -2 this morning when I left home, with a really chilling wind and it was horrible.

 

But when I've been skiing in France, its been like -10 and doesn't feel as bad as it does when it's like it was this morning.

 

Is that a psychological thing?

Yes, it feels very cole in your bones man. Aftr awhile your body adapts and accepts is fooking cold but you cannot be out there too long thats a death wish. It's like the opposite to what  oz says about his +45 or whatever madness in Australia. Of i had to choose, likely rather freeze to death then be burnt knocking on wood that neither ever happen

Mate, can't exactly walk outside in the frozen tundra with no shoes on unless you want to be amputated and in a wheel chair whilst watching your twig and 2 berries drop off (or hide up in your stomach lol)

 

These two extremes (extra cold or stupid hot) and never good for anyone. The extreme cold might be easier to digest of the two but both of them can piss right off. Stay safe and i hope it cools down for ya.

Not the best, I knocked my bike's front wheel against the curb at full speed having just come down the other side of a bridge.  Managed to maintain balance and drop speed a bit before the inevitable forced dismount, but I still ripped through my thick work trousers and the thermals underneath them to leave a nice skinless patch on one knee.  Not looking forward to later when the adrenaline's slowed down and the bruising's had a chance to kick in but I suppose I should be grateful that's all I have to worry about

Went out last night for a beer with a mate and he's asked me to be one of the groomsmen (usher?) at his forthcoming (second) wedding - a wonderfully overly pompous affair (he don't do things by halves, lavishing money on his relatively new bird). 

 

Obvs it was nice to be asked but as a fella who is naturally standoffish and has the opposite to a magnetic personality, it's a role that fills me with dread. An absolute nightmare tbh. 

 

I know him, his Mrs and his kids but absolutely nobody else. I'd happily reconciled myself to fading into the background for the day and waving my glass at the happy couple from a distance every now and then. Now there's no escape!

You don’t have that much responsibility as an usher. At most you’ll have to sort out family when it’s their turn to have their photos taken. A hell of a lot more daunting as a best man.

Controversy at the pub quiz.

 

We came an admirable fourth, bearing in mind it's just me and the Mrs. 

 

Then came the impossible question, which is always a number, to win the 68 quid jackpot.

 

I was 3 away, as was someone else.

 

However, the quizmaster thought I was someone else and the two "winners" decided to split the pot, rather than go to a tie-break.

 

I had to tell them that I was in fact the correct Tom who was also 3 out 

 

Had to split the winnings, which is fine (I'd have personally gone for a tie-break!), but the guy who was mistaken to be a winner wasn't happy. Turns out he was bloody miles off!

 

The question was...in which year was the "Magpie Nursey Rhyme" said to be written. You know the one, One for sorrow, 2 for joy...

 

I guessed 1783, when it was 1780.

I’d have gone for 1781 …. sadly wrong but still better than your effort dumbo …

Charity shop shift today, someone dropped off a large donation without ringing the bell at the back door, which is also a fire exit and has signs saying "do not obstruct". There were six large boxes of old encyclopaedias stacked up half as high as the doorframe. Several bags of unwashed and unpleasant clothing and a magnetic "taxi" roof sign. 

Unbelievable.

Charity shops are not council tips.

By all means give us stuff but please, be considerate. We need things we can actually sell. Thank you.

Generally had a bad day. People think they know better and decide to do their own thing and it comes crashing down. Tomorrow will be interesting

The Taxi sign sounds kind of cool 

 

Does it allow you to drive in bus lanes?

 

Because, you know, I could be interested.

Sad day in our household.

A dear family friend lost her fight against Motor Neurone’s Disease today.What a cruel disease it is.

 

[Parafox]

Surprising.

8 years ago my late uncle left me his retirement gift in his will. A watch made by Bentima. It's been in my bedside drawer since he passed and we discovered it again yesterday.

He had an insurance value of £750 back in 1968. I took it today to be valued for insurance purposes.

 

£4500.

****!

Was going well until I accidentally mistake my bottle of water for floor cleaner, thankfully I didn't swallow it just spit it out

Apparently there was a minor earthquake just happened in Birmingham?!
