Is it 5 o'clock already?!
Quote: zooo @ 28th May 2015, 1:59 PM BSTDoes this involve a stranger measuring one's backside?
It takes a team of 4. Not because of the size of my backside you understand.
They're not strangers now!

Nope, it's eight twenty nine.

Moving flat soonand unpacking stuff I've had in storage for 10 years.
And found the following.
1 3 add water heater packs for military rations.
2 3 cables for computer systems that no longer exist.
3 Ian Bradys book "The Gates of Janus" (which is sinister as I bought it for a friend and it gave it to them, how has it come back to me?)
4 A small bottle of essence of Root beer.
5 A picture of me with a shoulder length Jew fro, wearing a tutu.
6 A small bottle of sriracha sauce which is very hot and exotic, but not as much as the above photographs.
7 Several arty looking infusion tea bags, with the names in indecipherable itallic. I am drinking one at the moment it would appear to be Earl Grey. Hopefully not poisonous or a laxative, but pretty sure if either of the above the antidobte will be close at hand.
The dig continues.
5. had better be true, and you'd better show it to us.
It's real but it's never going on the interweb.
Not if I want to be head of the BBC and a secret agent at somepoint in the future.
Curses.
The wild primroses have finished flowering in my neck of the woods, and so my favourite time of the year is over.

Doesn't make me feel any better though - next month is the longest day and then it is all downhill into the winter and dark nights.

I had to carry a 17kg exercise bike home for my girlfriend once.
She told me it only weighed 7kg, the absolute brute!
It seemed alright for the first couple of hundred metres and then I didn't half feel as though my arms would drop off there and then in the street for everyone to gawp at.
"Look at that armless twit!" they'd cry.
