Free items picked up at the bicycle show, and how they will be useful: Waterproofing liquid (soak then agitate thoroughly) Aromatic massage gel for joints (and indeed muscles) Sensitive face care hydro gel for men (no greasy residue) Putty to repair things (finish with wetted spatula) Firming body oil (firms within 2 weeks) High protein…
There are two tins: Small change Proper money Small change is anything that is not really worth carrying around. This means 1p, 2p, 5p, and yes, 10p pieces. Proper money is anything larger than that. So 20p, 50p, £1 and £2. Sometimes a 10p will make it in, depending upon my mood. If it is…
See the larger version of this cartoon here: Differing heights. I, being towards the taller end of thingst, often feel awkward when I find myself in a central seat near the front in church (well, in truth I often feel awkward in any seat, but that is another story). This is because I’m certain I’m…
We had a kettle – it dribbled water. It seemed hazardous to keep dribbling water, what with the electrics and kettle water being boiling, so we got a new kettle that did not dribble water. Now the new kettle dribbles water too. Do all kettles dribble water? I have set up a poll on the…
You can always tell a rubbish photographer by the fact that the shadow of their head appears in the lower half of the photograph. This inspirational picture shows an innovative moneymaking initiative by Torbay Council, who have realised that you can hire out uncanvased deckchairs for 90p per half day. Many tourists are content to…
Readers tuning in hoping for a picture of me bathing in Brixham Harbour will, I’m afraid, be sadly disappointed. I think all right minded people would agree that bathing in Brixham Harbour should be severely frowned upon. But it is the illegality of the ‘attempted bathing’ that presents one of the great moral issues of…
I made the transfer from PC to Mac about a month ago. Here are my thoughts about it, numbered because the ordered list tag exists and I just don’t use it enough: I changed computers because I had worn out the keyboard letters on my other one out through my furious and continual typing. Also…
This is my final post of 2007 unless something unexpected happens. I have no plans for this to be the case. I am about to take a bit of a break. All being well I will post again on this blog on the 1st of January 2008. During the intervening time comments may be moderated,…
In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month. This verse, 2 Chronicles 31:7, is the 30638th most popular verse in the Bible out of the 31101 verses that make up the Bible. This is according to TopVerses.com, a site that ranks all of…
The Churches and the Railways in Norfolk and Suffolk are teaming up to promote the Churches and the Railways in Norfolk and Suffolk. The ChurchRail Trail has been endorsed by Vicars and enables travellers to get special stamps when they visit churches: As well as enjoying a unique day out, visitors can win prizes by…
Last week I found myself with nothing to do for an hour whilst in a parish caravan. A clergy friend I was visiting had to lead a group, and so I sat at one end of the parish caravan whilst the group he was leading took place at the other end. Having nothing with me…
Kester posted an interesting post yesterday about online advertising and how it is a bad thing as it is the poor who lose out. See also his Facebook group ‘I’d Rather Pay For Facebook Than Put Up With All The Dumb Ads‘ and this previous post Advertising Makes Us All Poor. I’d like to agree…
We bought our first vegetable rack at the weekend. A person’s life can be divided into the time they live pre-vegetable rack (P.V.R.) and the time they live post-vegetable rack (Also P.V.R, confusingly). Of course there will be some people who are not able to purchase a vegetable rack at any time of their lives,…
Dear the BBC Weather Forecasters, It would be really helpful if you could include a ‘washing forecast’ as part of your weather forecast updates. I have devised a system that you could use to show us whether it is worth putting washing outside on the line to dry or not. First of all you will…
[The title is a Goon Show quote. Explanation at the end of the post] I showed this cartoon when I did my live gig last week and as soon as I put it up it got an ‘Oooo’ from the audience. Now, I don’t get a lot of ‘Oooos’ normally, so I didn’t quite know…
I have had cause to glue several pieces of wood together lately, so I thought I would keep you updated. The budget dining room chair This became broken because someone had been leaning back on it in the way that we were told not to do at school. I poured some wood glue into the…
In this day and age it is right that those who are able should travel to the supermarket by bicycle when they can. I find though that when I do so I often encounter problems transporting groceries, especially if they are delicate or malleable. My bread, as the jottings above indicate, often ends up rucksack…
The Pope has said that non-Catholics are not the proper church. Well, he didn’t actually say it, but a document with his name on does say it so for the sake of this post we’ll assume he did say it in the planning meetings for the document. I have been trying to get my head…
