Pendolinos are also stunningly quiet when the aircon/heating isn't running full pelt.  It really ruins the effect.

I thought they always smell of poo. Which to my mind, would ruin any effect.

The wheelchair bay is tops for poo pong. :sick:

I have sometime suggested to travelling companions they should find another seat.

Why did you take your Nexus 7 into the shower?

NO! Don't answer that ;).

Actually, a more accurate expression would be:

Nexus 7 + confined space (rucksack) + bottle of shower gel wrapped in a plastic bag to prevent accidental leakage = £236

If it had been doused in water I'd be more confident of a successful resurrection ... on the plus side, both the buggered fondleslab and the inside of my backpack are very clean and smell faintly of apples.

A replacement has been ordered - the one time I'm actually glad there's a big Te$co just up the road.

Does it top the delicate aroma of brake lining that used to percolate through HSTs as they slowed?

'Sobvious innit?

To see if it gave a better blow job than a Nexus 6.

This is one of those rare situations where you're both right and wrong ...

(if you hadn't worked it out already, I'm referring to the Google fondleslab rather than Shimano's canned gears)

You could have been on a bus in Newcastle.

For some reason unknown.
Other Nexuses are certainly available.

Of course! Poo pong is more  :sick: than brake lining! I thought you knew...

We have two sets of car keys: the bear keyring one, and the "Ian keyring" set.

Two days ago my good lady asked if I had seen the bear. No I replied: "It will be around somewhere." However, after a quick look, we couldn't find it. Nevermind eh, it will turn up.

This morning the need to head out in the car arose: we had run out of prawns for the cats breakfast and were running low on beef for the same purpose along with a few heavy bits like cat litter and bottles of pop. No worries, I'll just drive down to the shops using the "Ian" set.

Can I find the "Ian" keyring? Nope; nor the already missing bear set! I have checked EVERYWHERE I can think of but they are still missing. Sigh.

Looks like I will have to cook some chicken for the cats breakfast instead. They won't be happy.  :facepalm:

Have you checked in the car?

I usually find keys months later (at the change in season) when I put on the coat/fleece/body warmer last worn when it was cold.

No. I was wondering where he was taking a hub to in his backpack!

Mr Tesco.

Tesco's Finest Pilgrim's Choice Cheddar

You are right, it probably is your finest, but I really think you are lying when you say a pilgrim chose it. Not unless they were extremely very desperate and hungry, or maybe needed a boot to repair a gash in their tyre sidewall.
