Worked, turned off the railway for a troubled idiot at Pevensey who was staggering up the track at 0630 this morning carrying bottle of wine and waving two fingers at train drivers.
Got home, fiddled with E- bicycle but new part won't fit.
Transferred dog microchip to us after taking on a rescue last week.
Later will be taking new dog to vets along with another of our hounds who has developed an eye infection.

They'd still need to turn the power off to recover the bodies. Rotting bodies on the railway lines would create even more complaints.

Troubled souls and young kids I have no problem with, but the 20 year old scrote that effectively shut Brighton down including mainline, east and west coasts for nearly 2 hours on Saturday evening running up the track from Brighton to Clayton I have to agree with you.Mr Moofo wrote: ↑Mon Aug 14, 2023 11:49 amWhy aren’t they allowed to just shoot people who wander onto railway lines?MingtheMerciless wrote: ↑Mon Aug 14, 2023 10:33 am Worked, turned off the railway for a troubled idiot at Pevensey who was staggering up the track at 0630 this morning carrying bottle of wine and waving two fingers at train drivers.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Today it's six years since I threw the TL1000s into the back of an Astra on the M32 and did my Superman impression (flying was fine, the landing was a bit shit!)
Since that day - two shoulder replacement ops (2017 & 2020), a head injury (2019 - week in hospital and quite a lot of residual issues for a couple of years!), broken leg which caused damage to the shoulder replacement after the 9 weeks on crutches (2022)!! Add a bit of what I'm told is PTSD, mental disaster area and menopause and it's been a properly challenging 6 years. (After all that, a failed business and Covid hardly register - although the business stuff is still in clear up stages, so causing some stress!)
It's a day that really means something to me. Mostly cos I'm still here (was probably a close run thing with the landing!!) but mainly because I do actually have a functioning shoulder, albeit I can't do star jumps, but WTF needs to do those!! LOL Biggest thing is that I CAN still ride a bike and do want to! Just need to find one that doesn't hurt my shoulder as much as the Monster Still plan to keep that though, cos she's gawguss!!!
And actually I'm really proud of how well the shoulder has dealt with the first properly physical job I've had since the accident! This evening was the first physio I've had on it in 3.5 months, so I've been mostly able to manage it for all that time
Anyway - as you were!
Wanders off to eat dinner and crash out after a stupidly busy day!!

Re: What have you done today thread?
Seen Sarah Moore (Money for Nothing) being filmed outside a house just down the road from home. (Not an expensive production by the look of it, just her and a cameraman. No dedicated sound person, no other crew etc at all).
(Probably going to explain to the householder how she'd made £4.50 by converting a Chippendale table into a pallet).

Re: What have you done today thread?
Been out for a bimble in the Cornish lanes. Main roads, and no doubt all the beaches, are rammed with emmetts, but I've been to the places they don't go. Nice ride, mainly in 2nd and 3rd gear.

An emmett is someone visiting for a short time, a grockle is someone that's bought a house there but lives or has lived somewhere else most of the time.Skub wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 5:17 pmWhat's the difference between emmetts and grockles?Cousin Jack wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 4:32 pm Been out for a bimble in the Cornish lanes.
