Not so trivial...Sold my house. Guy came around yesterday evening desperate to see it, missed it when we bought it. Sent him off to see the Estate agent, came around, loved it, bought it full price...

So probably get summer here and then...

Good news. And I got quite a good reading on the Triv-O-Meter by putting the inverter in series.

You have to do these things if you want good results.

Battert showed me how to do it years ago. He uses it on the Vote-O-Matic for the Members' Staff Review. But only for surnames of staff beginning with B. Too technical for me.

Anyway, my stroll took me along the towpath today. I came across this:



Like Danger Mouse but weirder.

And a bike someone had fished out of the canal and left as Objet d'Art.

I've arrived home to a lovely invitation to pay either £30 now or £100 if it's over 14 days just for the pleasure of eating at the Ladybower Inn the same as glenrobbo has, great, like I need anymore fking st to deal with.

Mrs Bobbers has taken the decision out of my hands and paid it, she keeps asking if there's anything she can do to help, I wish there was but ultimately I'm down as representative for him which means I have to deal with it.

Well, yes, it is, but I've never heard the bridge called that. I've never heard it called anything. I had to look it up. The single track bridge adjacent to it I know as the American Bridge (built during the war) but I've never heard the dual carriageway bridge called anything.

I'm new here. I've only lived here for thirty (30) years.

Today I learned something.

Art.

River Banksy.

Canal Banksy to be pedantic. River Banksy just sounds better.

Bobbers gave the work its correct title, but even in the art world it's known as Swampy's Bike.

I'm n ot sure i follow this....i might be being a bit Tim Awfully Nice but Dim but why after having been to the Ladybower Inn, have you had a bil for £30.
Is it for parking by any small chance?

Correct slopes, none of us saw any parking notices and the staff of the Ladybower Inn neglected to inform us of the need to register our vehicles.

Sneaky...very sneaky. I've been in there and if it hasn't improved over the years, that's a hefty price to pay for parking there. If i remember rightly, the Snake Pass Inn was better but it's been a long time since i've been in either

I've never heard of anything like that before. Hit them where it hurts, give a bad google review.
