iL Dottore Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Morning All, Has anyone heard from @BoD recently. I’ve not seen any postings from him as of late - perhaps he too has succumbed to a bout of CBATPism* caused by the currently lightening fast incarnation of RMWeb (*Can’t Be A***d To Post). For that matter, @Dave Hunt seems to have been shot down over enemy territory - maybe we’ll get a postcard from the IRCC telling us where he’s imprisoned. Sorry, @chrisf, but marching in a parade does not constitute exercise - for exercise that provides cardiovascular benefit but spares the joints both swimming and cycling (either stationary or a “real” bike) would do the trick). For muscle tone - there’s a number of exercises one can do at home. There’s no need to join a fitness club and don spandex (now that’s something to contemplate: @chrisf in Rainbow coloured spandex - or not, as the case may be…..). The bear’s posts seem to be rather subdued recently, is @polybear suffering from LDC deprivation? I was most surprised to learn that @Gwiwer has gout - I had never thought of him like so: Definitely not a pleasant disease - even if the traditional triggers (Roast Beef, Port, basically rich food and abundant alcohol) are very enjoyable when going in…. I wonder if it’s any consolation to learn that - for centuries - gout was known as the “Disease of Kings” as only the very, very rich could afford the sybaritic lifestyle (and quantities) needed to trigger the disease. Finally, a belated Happy Birthday to @laurenceb - which leads me to conclude on a philosophical note: life is divided into two parts - one when you look forward to birthdays and the other when you dread birthdays. So when is the tipping point between anticipation and dislike? When you turn 30? 40? 50? 60? And after 60? Birthdays: an unpleasant reminder of our inevitable mortality or a celebration of survival? 15 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erichill16 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 7 hours ago, simontaylor484 said: @Erichill16 has someone stolen Oakwell?? There has been some dispute for several years as to ownership of the ground. It’s very complicated. When the club went bankrupt in the early 2000s the council bought the ground. When the Cryne family bought the club I think they also bought a share in the ground. When Patrick Cryne died, the club was sold to an American investment/sport/leisure group. They have been implying that they don’t have control of Oakwell and we’re thinking of moving out of Oakwell and ground sharing with probably Rotherham or Doncaster. All very unsavoury and complicated. It’s only the fans that truly care and now we are just spectators at any other corporate event. The corporation spends as little money as necessary to put enough bums on seats to make the financial model work. Rant over. 2 1 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post jamie92208 Posted January 30, 2022 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2022 Good moaning from a grey and damp Charente. I'm glad that I've had my breakfast as the thought of Chrisf in Rainbow spandex would not have eased my digestion. It's nearly as bad as the thought of me in lycra when I go out on my bike. Beth and I got stuck into fence renovation yesterday morning and after 2 hours hard work had removed the previous fence but salvaged the actual wire mesh. We'd also removed the tree growth from next door that had done the damage. I then managed to hammer in 4 of 7 new fence posts. Wielding a post hole digger and then a sledge hammer are definitely good exercise. That work will probably continue today. However the market is to be visited first then some friends will be coming for tea tonight so some lamb is to be roasted. Regards to all.

Popular Post chrisf Posted January 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) Jamie mentioned Tom Lehrer yesterday. It reminded me of how I came to make my debut on commercial radio. About half a lifetime ago I was listening to Hereward Radio, broadcasting from Peterborough. When the presenter, Paul Veysey, asked if anyone out there had any Tom Lehrer records I got straight on the phone. Two weeks later I guested on his programme. There are many worse ways of spending a Saturday evening! After the programme Paul said to me that he hoped we could work together again. Needless to say it did not happen. Paul's programme was taken off and he "went on holiday", whatever that means. I never did find out what happened to him. Flavio, I note what you say about exercise. Nevertheless, if I am allowed to march I shall do so, because it is better than doing nothing. Chris Edited January 30, 2022 by chrisf 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always..... Though I do in fact have an unopened LDC in the cake safe, but have yet to open it..... In other news....... Bear pondered starting prepping the walls - or picking up the leaves in the front garden (a loooooooong overdue job). The leaves win - yet I'm sure I'll live to regret that choice when I'm doing an impression of an icicle. After that I think I'll prep the lounge for starting on the walls - furniture out of the way and properly covered then refit one of the doorway dust guards (one had to be removed during plastering). 15 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post NGT6 1315 Posted January 30, 2022 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2022 Moaning owl. Still blowy outside and there are storm surge warnings in effect for the coastal lands, updated multiple times over the course of the night, judging by the number of notifications from the weather service app! Maybe I will, in fact, go for a bit of a walk later, weather permitting. Staying indoors all day with no exception whatsoever seems to have proven to be not good for me (as in aggravating seasonal factors to the mood issues of recent months, shall we say). Other than that, not a lot to report right now. Ta… 17 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted January 30, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) Good morning all, Belated birthday greetings to Laurence. Quite frosty here but the sky is blue and the shine is sunning. Currently 2°C and sunny spells and light winds increasing later are forecast. Late up today due to watching recorded stuff on TV until about 1.30. This did not include rugby as the match time was shifted from 3 pm to 7 pm because of the weather up North and although I changed the "box" it failed to record. As I now know the result probably won't watch it when they show it again today. I will be watching a match this afternoon to see if TB's team can continue with their winning ways. The Boss is now on parade and the usual Sunday fried breakfast has been offered providing I "get a move on." I will comply so farewell for now. Have a good one, Bob.

Gentle readers will be relieved to learn that I have no plans to venture anywhere near Spandex but possibly alarmed that I have everything else. I had been wondering how to marry The Tie with the [non rainbow] T shirt. Wrapping it round a wrist is thinking outside the box par excellence. Lest anyone be wondering, there are bound to be more outrageous outfits than mine on the day, for many marchers are far more flamboyant than I could ever be. The parade is due to take place on Saturday 2nd July. If I am not in it, I should be about somewhere. There is usually TV coverage, particularly if it is a slow news day.

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted January 30, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 30, 2022 Morning all from Estuary-land. The bugs seem to have gone, and the constipation but something else has cropped up that might be far more serious. I've noticed that one of my testicles has swollen to more than twice its normal size. There is no pain (unless I catch it in something) but its a bit uncomfortable when I try to sit down. If it doesn't go away in the next couple of days I'll go to my GP. 3 hours ago, polybear said: Will this do? https://www.fruugo.co.uk/adult-unisex-rainbow-stripe-unitard-mardi-gras-lgbt-lgbtq-pride-gay/p-64678107-130516382?language=en&ac=croud&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0vL2uIDZ9QIVcpBoCR2P9QI6EAQYBiABEgLXjvD_BwE Where's the eye bleach?
