Used to be 25+ per week (sometimes it was per day!) but I've cut back considerably since April, for no other reason than I just can't be arsed anymore. Imbibe a few beers on the weekends (2/3 Fri, 3/4 Sat, 2/3 Sun), but maybe one beer per evening on a school night. Even if I'm on an overnighter with ...

Weight is lost, that's what kicked off the condition.

And I swim like a brick. I do, strangely, find "traction" a help slightly, but I'm waiting to hear back from my sports-physio mate about a safe approach to that thread.

Does anyone else here suffer from cervical spondylosis, by any chance? And if so, what are you doing to stave off the absolute agony that gravity causes on the afflicted section of the anatomy?

I'm in bastard fuckery here at the moment, & no amount of morphine, codeine, etc. is giving me any relief ...

Duchess of Kent has died today at the age of 92 apparently.

And I've just finished changing the labels on the wife's spice rack ... she's not discovered this yet, but the thyme is cumin.

Today ... not an awful lot, other than remux some video files ... pick up some pain meds, pick up cooking ingredients ... update my Raspberry Pi/NAS/Plex server ...

THIS PAST WEEK however, I got back into the world of work with my new job (after a year out).

English is well known fir adopting foreign words. I suspect it is why we have so many words, far more tha many languages. Sometimes we stick with more of less the original sound, sometimes we translate it into English sounds (tall boy for haute bois).


This is true; Welsh was spoken in London a ...

Who decided what words were for which use?

Genuinely got me thinking this tonight ...

Words matter, of course, but who decided which words was for what & all that bollocks?

A sound expressed as a word, even.

Time for bed I think. :/

... any advice on which "self-publishing" routes to go, & those to avoid.

It's nothing earth-shattering, but it's a bit of fun & hopefully it'll kick me in the arse to do another one (I have ideas & concepts, despite being a useless ol' git).

And I'm not using any AI to write either.

My TV show ...

Shopped for cooking ingredients, watched Wales Women get cooked by Scotland ladies, cooked dinner, ate the cooked dinner, took the dog for a walk/run in the dark & updated my Plex server.

It's a week since I had my 3rd heart attack, & had stent-age.

Nooo ... I was last on a GUZZI Cali2, but that's gone now. Before that it was a VN800. My broken back isn't coping with scooped seats amymore, & I'm too porky to get my derby over a tank these days.


You can join Taipan's scooter boi club. He loves fresh meat. :thumbup:


"Fresh meat ...

Good job I'm fuckin' Welsh then, isn't it boyo. There's tidy, innit? Oh, what's occurrin' ... ?

We have enough Scots, you can never have too much Scotch.

Welcome BTW.

That's pretty epic!

William was a guest on my show talking proper form for weddings, Christmas dinner & other situations. And thinking back on that ... fuck, it was 10 years ago!!

Have some etiquette and decorum, of course they need to be cut.

Corner to corner.

The person to ask on this issue would be the legendary William Hanson ... he was a some-time guest on my ol' radio show ... HELL of a funny chap.

I'm there ...
