Welcome to the cheap seats

Ok so it's taken me a while but at long last welcome to the hall of fame/shame to a number of close personal friends and regular contributors to both my life and my sanity.

Bline in the meadows
Not much going on and
Silent word speak loudest

you are the first three (as chosen by our viewers) to be accepted into the long suffering hall of fame. Welcome

It's only f*@king November

Ok.. rant on..

The neighbours have decked the house with christmas tinsel,
fa la la la la la la la la
November is not the season to be joly,
fa la la la la la la la la
Down with all this christmas cheer,
fa la la la la la la la la

Now I see the time and place for putting you're flashing Santa on your house and spraying the windows with fake snow. But it's still November!

...rant off.

BMX style skills

As part of a scheme to try and get the wife back onto a bike after the "stag do incident" we've been cycling to and from venues, and as a present I purchased him a set of lights so that "it's too dark" can no longer be used as an excuse.

So having returned from the rugby on the weekend we set off back home, a little bit worse for wear when he spots a BMX ramp on the pavement and decides to take it on.....

So off he sets in a wobblying manner at the ramp, reaches the top and proceeds to fall over the edge onto his head! thus smashing the new bike lights, bending the bike and his head.

Why do I bother?!
