I have just rediscovered the joys of removing clingfilm from the bowl I nuked my baked beans in!

Nuking clingfilm makes it go all soft and stretchy. It feels like peeling dead skin after a case of sunburn. I love peeling skin

Just spread some Copydex on your hand (palm is better) let it dry and you can experience that feeling all over again.

The other day (Thursday evening, I think) I saw someone flying a fighter kite on Figges Marsh. Summer's here, then.

And I saw a kite flying beside the road while we were WARTYing.

Looking back over my school career, I must have spent days doing that.

I once managed to peel off all five fingers and a palm in one go

This post requires something, but I am not clever enough nor sufficiently worthy to do it justice.

A bit of red food dye mixed with the Copydex and you can spend a happy half hour with a syringe giving yourself a really nasty case of something...I once did this for a fancy dress party. I looked truly hideous. Didn't pull mind.

Another odd dream remembered.
Last night I shared a bed with Prince Harry and a polo pony. The pony might have been Shergar.

Were Shergar not already converted into pedigree chum, I've a feeling that he would be rather offended at being referred to as a pony, and probably even more disgruntled at having to share a bed with the ginger bastard...

A Halfords Apollo bike box arrived today.

It doesnt contain an Apollo, but something much much nicer

I've just changed the left brake light on my Honda Shuttle. It's the second time a bulb there has blown. The last time was about 7 years ago (the car is 12 years old). The right hand brake bulb is still the original one. The only other bulb I've replaced is one of the side lights. Impressive.

Impressive.

I rode my Kawasaki GT550 for 13.5 years (from almost new) during which time I never had to change the stop light bulb.
More impressively , in the time I owned it, it had just one oil change in approximately 120k miles

Yebbut, they were bulletproof. Thats why all the couriers used them. I like Kwackers , I owned a Z650 a Z750 Custom and a GPZ600, great bikes all of them

Rather than being lost, 'borrowed' by a colleague or leaking in a jacket pocket my Bic crystal ballpoint pen has run out of ink. I never thought I'd live to see the day.

Time to hie me to the stationery cupboard (which fortuitously also happens to be stationary) and obtain a new one!
