Mundane facts about your day...

…. also …. think about it, Xmas, beyond the next (of many) Brexit dates… might as well be a trillion to the power of a trillion years away ….

I note that today marks the halfway point on the journey to next Christmas.

Strange you say that, whilst filling sons built in wardrobes last night , and not being able to reach the top shelf myself , I joked with him that he could store his christmas tree up there when he gets one.


Not today, but last night..... Dared to climb up several rungs of the loft ladder to have a look at the 'loads of wool ' that he'd seen up left up there. Can leave my knitting needles stored away after all , it's loft insulation

On a more immediate note, stores are beginning to fill up with "Back to School" displays for the new school year before the summer holidays have even started. Buy their new school clothes now, and see how much they've outgrown them in September.

How do you think I feel ? …. I bought my Nuclear Bunker Kit in 1963, during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I've only just figured out how to put the f****** thing together !!! …. I complained to the manufacturer about it …. but they're no longer there …. they've been f****** nuked … !!!

Well as that was in October 1962, you were too bloody late.

Typical Staffordian...

Yes … but …. we were late with some degree of style. (Until the f****** blast wave hit.)

Because a router can work without power?

Course it can, it's wireless

Course it can, it's wireless

I remember telling someone in the mid-1980s that I had bought a cordless kettle.

He expressed total incredulity, on the basis that the batteries would need to be huge...

Because a router can work without power?

Never thought about that Good job I hadn't quite used all my mobile data in sons new house , which hasn't got internet connected for a couple of weeks yet .

Take it from a radio ham and former professional in the job. This idea of calling a radio a 'wireless ?' (I think a very British term derived from the days when all communication went over an actual telegraph wire.)
With a radio …. there's bloody wires everywhere !!!

If ever I climb the gangway of another ship …. I want you to promise you don't come aboard it.

PCBs?

 

[Withnail]

On some occasions the sound of sanctimonious self entitlement from some of your brethren can be almost deafening

Yeah that's really funny.

And proportionate,

Because, like, the true story of people killed annually by motor vehicles is, like, truly deafening. And yet completely silent.

Coz we don't want to talk about that.

Or do we?

Coz that's not very funny, is it?

PCBs?

PCB's make pretty rubbish aerials. They're not much good for counter poises or radials either.
