Well that was nice

Switzerland. But he had a distinctive Polish accent....

Just had a heating engineer round under our service contract to deal with a leak. Turned out to be a plumbing issue, not in his remit. But he fixed it anyway. There are some nice people around.

Where I live, motorways are allowed for learners and may feature in the test. Alcohol levels for new drivers are essentially 0. If you screw up during the probationary period, you'll have to redo your test.

The worst drivers are those who've learned elsewhere and just switch their licence...

Currently snowing lightly. High of -2.

It was -8°C when I went into town to the haematology dept of the hospital. What do these people want from me? Blood?...

[NotAllThere]

Because you posted it here. We'd move it but the software will screw it up and still hasn't been fixed....

It was a pleasant surprise when that team turned up. And even better when they won! Sorry if you're watching it on catchup....

I bought that for my dad for Christmas.

I read the unredacted chapters of the first version. I wish I hadn't... :-o

I'll get v2 soon.

-6°C frost tonight, but it'll be a sunny day....

I used National last summer in from Orlando, Florida. No up-selling at all. I did reverse into a friend's truck and put a 2 inch scratch on the car's paintwork. Reported it. Never heard anything more about it....

79/85 are one star reviews. Not a good look! Previously, I'd hired from Sixt and had a great experience, but this was the first time in maybe ten years. They still haven't got back to me. Probably they've given up, but I'm not chasing up - the longer they leave it, the weaker their case and the dumber...

You're right. It's non-steroidal, but not anti inflammatory. After exercise I have taken ibuprofen before going to bed....

I've regularly driven for contracts. Decent hotel - it's worth the expense. Certainly *not* working is more expensive.

Paracetamol doesn't mess with your stomach. It's ibuprofen and it's relatives that need PPI. And in this case, he's talking about topical cream which certainly doesn't affect the stomach.

I have arthritis in my hands and sacroiliac joint. If you don't do anything, it gets worse - it's just...

I did roast lamb today. Roast at 130°C until reached 59°C. Then 20 minutes at 200.

Perfect.

[NotAllThere]

Yep! That's it....

Slipped on our stone stairs yesterday and now have a massive bruise on the left side of my back. Thankfully, ribs not cracked. Worse, I've had to give up booze due to liver options.

On the other hand, it's been a nice relaxing day. Our usual run up to France for KFC. Tomorrow I cook full...

Now he's really gone Home for Christmas. I love that a security guard tried to throw him out of his own after-show party....

At this point I would have cancelled my card....
