The law here says you can only have blue, green or brown windows and doors here.

The law also says that all houses can only be painted white. It's beautiful when the villages have uniform houses.

When we go to Fuerteventura, it looks like Beirut in comparison

Back when Filofax was a thing.

I even had a software product called Portex that printed out diaries, phone lists, notes etc on Filofax format paper.

(It was If you lost your Filofax, you just printed everything out again).

Portex you say?

I'll make a note of it on my PalmPilot.

My Filofax was replaced by a Psion (still got 2 of 'em )

I had a boss who used to do exactly that. And I'll be really freaked out if your first name is Robert...

Nope, not Robert

Put it all in the computer
Print it
Stick it in your filofax
Lose said filofax
Go back to the computer
Print it again...

I can't help but feel something is wrong with this picture

Don't try and convince me you could have a portable computer, the battery tech and available charging infrastructure would never support it.

[Yorick]

Never had any of those things. My memory seems to make them redundant.

Happily, I never lost it. In fact....I still have it.

If you've connected it into your house then make sure you've isolated from the mains, otherwise there will be a bang if it comes back on.

They built a football stadium half a mile from us last year. Mainly for kids.
I've walked past with the dog many times but taken no notice.
This week there's some sort of competition as first week of school holibobs.
I stopped to watch a game and was a bit gobsmacked. About 11/12 year old, but they could play a bit.
Obviously been watching Ronaldo and some of them had the tricks and twists and turns. But it worked and played well.
I watched for about 15 mins and really enjoyed it.

I remember school footy as a keeper and 10 centre forwards

This lot were better than any Sunday footy I saw in the parks in UK

[Sadlonelygit]

Made some emergency tyre plugs for the mower out of some strimmer line as the front tyre had lost all pressure in @2 mins and then popped off the rim for good measure!

There’s a thing called a changeover switch. Very popular in the 70s during the miners strikes

Today I am mostly waiting in vain for a flight home from Berlin airport.

Just gonna move to a new and interesting piece of floor to sit on for a bit.

Just been to visit my ex neighbour. She is in a care home now. Very frail on her feet. 100 years old in September .

Most of her marbles are still there. Her older brother survived D day only to be shot dead 3 days later by a sniper

Here we are 80 years later....my Ferrari is better than your Ferrari . My Aston Martin is better than your Porsche

How about we all shove a tenner each month to the priest and keep your trap shut if you are loaded

I survived being shot at by a sniper in Iraq, I actually dug the bullet out of the wall behind me and wore it (7.62mm round bent just like a banana) on a chain around my neck, but sadly I lost it one day.

The lord works in mysterious ways.
Try and be happy for people rather than all bent up and resentful, I'll still do whatever and I want and the world will be a happier place for you.
Have a great day

Sump drain plug was in so tight I had to use the breaker on it!

The filter is a shitty job too as it's so close to the headers... That are at flesh melting temp because you've just warmed it up to get the oil out.

Wheel it outside and hosepipe on the headers.

And that’s where we differ. If I’d have been shot at in a war zone I would never dream of posting about it on the internet.

What am I supposed to say or do on hearing you’ve been shot at? I have several friends who have been in war zones from the falklands to Iraq and Afghanistan . Not one of them speaks about the time they were there.

You didn’t mention anything about my last sentence in my previous post

To you and your loved ones......live long and prosper
