Seeveral pairs of good gloves. Thruxton baseball cap. Booster plug. 2 add on wind deflectors for screens. Oil filters. HT leads. Buell lowering footpegs. Canon EOS dslr.

Just back from playing golf, third outing this year and was pleasantly surprised to shout a +1 72. By the time the season starts I should be playing really well and putting in under par scores.

Is Time Team still on? That was Sunday evening telly when I were a lad, my dad insisted. In hindsight it seems a bit daft to be rushing at archeology, it ain't going anywhere!

No, TT is long gone, although there are sort of successors. Mick Aston died 10 years ago.

Actually, the "don't rush, it's not going anywhere' did get mentioned today.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Luckily, I wasn't alone in the office, so I couldn't be accused of that!! LOL I did try to fix it, but there seemed no reason for the trip to go. No added use, no new things plugged in. Bloody hope it got sorted or tomorrow is going to be a challenge!! :lol: :lol:

Called Sky.

My BB has been out of contract for a couple of months after my 18 month cheap deal ended.

Noticed that you can now get Sky purely as a streaming service using their own version of a Fire stick.

So got them to do a deal.

Super fast BB and Sky Entertainment with Netflix and Discovery+ for £50. First two months free and no setup fee.

Quite happy as I was paying £35 just for the BB and my Discovery+ had just expired and they wanted £7 a month to renew.

I've never had Netflix, so that's exciting!

We've got 3 of their streaming 'pucks', just make sure you Broadbeans speed is good enough or they stutter a fair bit.

Cashed in my immense lottery winnings. Binge watching Californication, I'd forgotten just how damn funny that series was. Later I have to drive down the hill about 30 miles for a med appt, just drizzly wet here but there's snow for most of the journey.

I've been to the dentist, private because NHS dentists are as rare as hen's teeth. He removed most of a molar tooth, scanned my mouth and made a crown using a CNC machine. All done in an hour. It cost £545 though
