Good morning everyone. It’s cool but the suns up and looks like a fair day.
I’ve checked me spuds etc and all seems good. I had to add a few barrows of soil to the spuds yesterday!



Onions leaning towards the afternoon sun!

Good luck to you all at whatever you are at today.

Fout.

That looks amazing Magoo!!!

[Bobberoo]

Well my dad is in his new care home, it's much smaller and not quite as nice as the last one, but it is much closer and the team seem really nice!!
He was a bit subdued and I could tell he was anxious, I spent an hour with him just chatting and getting all his clothes hung up or put away.
Hopefully he'll settle in and this will become home for him.

[Still Mulling]

Glad he's in and safe, Bobbers. Hopefully this new location can provide lower stress for you all.

[Mr Magooagain]

Thanks Bobbers.
Good news on your dad. Let’s hope he settles there and can be happy. Better for him and you then.

Byker that’s a bit of a rough deal by the sounds of it. I’m presuming you’ve explored all ways to get around it.
Sell the other house maybe?

Uh - oh!

Tell us all about it Bobbers.

Did it happen anywhere near Buttocks Heath?

Happened Tuesday glenrobbo on the way home, some idiot tried to push in in front of me, I accelerated round him, he didn't like it, undertook me and carved across in front of me, stopped his car blocking two lanes, got out and hurled abuse at me about nearly causing an accident because I didn't let him in, I remained calm, refused to get out, told him to grow up, get in his car and fk off or I'd call the police.
He did eventually get in his car, but not until he'd called me several names, and threatened me, all I did tonight was try to upload the video to the online police dashcam portal, but as he'd threatened me and blocked the road, it was escalated and I was asked to submit a statement.

I had some idiot try and force me off the road a while back when he was the one at fault.

Imagine a two lane elongated roundabout/island, left lane for straight on, right hand lane for turn right only. I came up to one of the junctions, van in right hand lane and pulled out into left hand lane.
matey in the van got all road ragey because he was essentially using it to try and jump any traffic but wasn't indicating.
How was i supposed to know he was being a prat?
So this nebulous retard decided to then try and force me to stop on the A1M and as i already knew he was going to do it, closed the gap in front of me so he couldn't get in.

boy was he angry!
I then very carefully manouvered him to the point he couldn't do anything and came off at the next junction while he had to go sailing on past.

Her ladyship pointed out he could have been a madman and i might have been stabbed. I conceded this point but also made her aware i was in my work steel toe cap boots and had a heavy coat on at the time, so if he pulled a knife i would have kicked his kneecap out of joint, then suffered a faint and accidentally kicked his face as i stumbled on the way past.

This apparently makes me angry and grumpy, whereas i prefer just not prepared to be pushed around by someone in the wrong.

We encountered a number of the same type of knobs on the road to and from Scotland. Treat everyone out there on the roads as psycopathic mental health patients.

The general standards of peoples behaviour has dropped considerably since the pandemic. It's like it gave them a green light to be a total ahole, i'm glad i'm getting close to free bus pass age, once work moves and i am only a 30 minute walk away, i'll suggest to her ladyship we go down to one car and i'll walk to work

I disappeared from here for a while because I seemed to be getting dragged into arguments in other parts of the forum.

I didn't want to be followed into here and spoil the peace.

So, hello everyone again.

[Bobberoo]

Hi BN, good to see you back.

Selfless behaviour above and beyond the call of duty.

Thanks for keeping the beastliness away from us, BN.

[Biker's Nemesis]

Thank you gentlemen.

Great news. Remember he'll be feeling confused, a bit lost, possibly scared, not sure what's going on. It'll take a little time but then the routine will take over and he'll feel settled

All the best from me, too.

Let’s hope you can all settle into a daily rhythm.

[Still Mulling]

Welcome back, BN. Sorry you’ve been having troubles amongst the proles!

Good to see you back mate, you do seem to attract your fair share of numpties elsewhere

[spikeyhead]

Welcome back BN, and all the best for you and your Dad Bobbers.

Tiem for bed, typing lessions tomorrow

[hammo19]

Sounds like a good day for resolutions. Bobbers dad, slopes cars, BN returning, all good news along with a fab show by Romesh who was both funny and very rude….

Spent a solid two hours this evening reading rubbish on the internet to avoid doing anything more productive.

One article was about Usyk's preparation and training regime over the last few months for his fight with Fury tomorrow.
Reported that Usyk is a big fan of swimming and mentioned he can hold his breath for 4mins & 40secs.

Thought that an impressive time, and led to me wondering what the longest time for holding breath underwater is - thought perhaps 8 mins...

Turns out the world record is 24mins & 37secs which is simultaneously astonishing and utterly ridiculous.

Although it's been verified, it still seems impossible to me that anyone can hold their breath underwater for almost 25 minutes!

[DickyC]

I spent a solid I can't remember how long it actually took doing this.
