It's like you laughing when the UK gets 30 Deg and there's a warning , because you're used to that too.
The UK gets cold every year but the media react as though cold weather is something new.

Saab went straight through the test today, nice man even turned a blind eye to the EML ( message on the dash readout told him it was gearbox related).
I was more concerned about the chunk of rear tyre SWMBO had removed from the sidewall, but that just got an advisory. New tyres being fitted now, here's to another 21 years!

Just started and finished a trog round the countryside at a local sports club. Today must be girl's footy day. Must have been 60 of 'em zipping about on 3 pitches. I don't think any of them were over 4ft high. :lol: They all seemed to be having a whale of a time. The fans/parents were making more encouraging noises than when the blokes play.

Only down-side was the din in the café from the ones who had finished :shock: Half of them left and the noise level went down by at least 0.5 decibels. :lol: In the foyer by the entrance there were about 30 pairs of tiny boots scattered at random (studs not allowed in the café)...good luck to the parents sorting that lot out. :lol:

Nice to see kids doing something other than staring at a screen.

Got out on my snowboard yesterday,
Thrashed round and round, hit some jumps, threw some 360's and found some new side hits and off piste drops.

My thighs are trashed today though :lol:

In a similar vein, I found my Fresher's Week polo shirt yesterday when looking in the loft for something else.

It's obviously shit, but has sentimental value.

Potter wrote: Mon Jan 22, 2024 8:33 am Years ago I bought some original Calvin & Hobbes drawings by Bill Watterson and over the years I've occasionally looked for them but could never find them, I assumed that somehow, in a move somewhere, they had been lost.

But Mrs Potter found them this morning in amongst some of the kids stuff from years ago.

I feel like I've found an old friend :wub:
One of the few things I follow on IG is a thread of Calvin and Hobbes strips. Genius. :thumbup: (+ Berke Breathed's Babylon County strips starring Opus the Penguin :D ).

On a similar note I have a signed original Jim Toomey who writes the Sherman's Lagoon strip*.

*I see that blank stare. Nobody has ever heard of it as it was only syndicated in the US. Not sure how it first came to my attention but it makes me chuckle.
