I saw that and thought "that can't be a very good quality frying pan".

Probably not the message they were trying to convey.

Good to see that they have some Famous Grouse for when the peasants want something to spice up their coca-cola.
That's the reserve stock. The live stock is in the living room

Some excellent news I've just received, the specifics of which I'm not telling just yet.

I've not quite yet worked out which celebrities I read of are musical types, footballers, rugby player or actors.

TBH no-one drinks the bourbon. Infact 95% of what I serve from there is Gin and Tonic or Vodka and tonic !

Is that normal for end of March or unseasonably a bit strong?

My rellies are out in Tenner-iffy this week and will no doubt come back brown and beaming.

Normally low mid 20s. A bit of a heatwave for a few days

My Dad's been laid-up recently and has been going through old photos. He gives / sends to me anything he finds that's interesting including bike stuff (this has all made me realise that I probably didn't own a camera until I was thirty...).

Today was a photo of my old RGV...but I also noticed, at the edge of the photo, the tail end of a Peugeot scoot I had in 1996. I'd long since forgotten the reg so on the off-chance I looked it up and it's not only still MOT'd and taxed but is apparently the only one of its model left on the UK roads.

I'm quite proud of the little feller :)

FB auto & bike groups are plagued by scammers, usually out of Cameroon or Bangladesh. They're fairly easy to spot & block/ban from groups I admin, but other group admins can't be arsed, or don't know how to stop them before they post.

One chap from Cameroon (with a FB page falsely showing he was in Colorado selling truck parts) managed to out himself this morning in a Explorer ST group by advertising "Auto spear parts" which I thought was mildly amusing.

We've got my pal's widow and kids here for the week. Watching them playing and splashing about in the pool is bringing a smile to my face.
I'm chucking coins in for them to find with dive masks.

The sound of laughter is a real tonic.
