Also, I notice the Worse Winter Since 1962!! predictions are starting to pop up on those supposedly local news outlets that are now entirely online and run by Reach plc for clicks.

That weird swipey Google news thing on my phone is suggesting I read an Auto Express feature on the best 12v tyre inflators in 2025.
I do want to read it but I don't want to read about and see pictures of 12v tyre inflators for the next 6 months on every screen I own 😭

Get out of my head. I was thinking Mads Mikkelsen as Bufford T Justice too. Didn't get much beyond that though.

Good call on Herzog. Shame Kinski isn't still around. Carrying the truck with the beer/methamphetamine in over The Rockies or something. I'd watch that.

Expanding on that, who's in the gritty reboot of Smokey & The Bandit?

Go on then. Favourite lie and best reaction so far?

FYI it is totally safe to drink from horse troughs.
My dad said so.

Richard @rich1068.bsky.social · 1d

John and I are clearly in professional dad mode this morning so if anyone else has any queries about plumbing, central heating thermostats and why no one should ever touch them or if it's safe to drink out of horse troughs then we're here for you. Or at least make up an answer that sounds convincing

Also, looks like it's the waste pipe and it's slightly down at the sink end so waste water is not completely running away. Can the other end be dropped a little?

Well.... I thought it was a little over and the dark chocolate made it quite bitter. But everyone was very polite and said they liked it. The real test will be how much is left in the morning.

Richard @rich1068.bsky.social · 3d

OMG. Just Googled a video. That's so cool!

Richard @rich1068.bsky.social · 3d

Ah, always wondered. I've never seen one of yours in the flesh.
So how does that work then?

Richard @rich1068.bsky.social · 3d

(whispers) I know 😉

Glorious colour on yours. Always looks lovely. Is the rear spoiler on those adjustable?

My alcohol fogged brain immediately saw a Saab 9000 CD. Odd that.

Apologies for the pastry. I'm terribly hungover.
