£450 + Vat and LR fee I reckon for a solicitor.

Dungeons & Dragons

This looks good if you have VR! https://youtu.be/PY2YqgDUvFk

NordVPN when I’m out in Spain, works fine.

Go to Avon Tyrell next weekend and tie-in with the Big Bike Bash!! http://www.bigbikebash.org.uk

Revolut for my travels.

On the flip side to my previously mentioned PE teacher, we did have an excellent maths teacher who was really there to teach and if you wanted to learn he was really inspiring. Same with a stand-in woodwork teacher we had, he ran a carpentry business locally and stepped in when the regular teacher was off for a few months. Absolutely brilliant, real work skills that he just wanted us to learn.

PE / Geography Teacher – Mr Lander, ex-rugby player. Drove a 911 and thought he was the bees-knees. Savage bully.

Had a bike delivered by them, left it on the doorstep facing a busy main road.

Bodrum is Turkish food, do you mean the Greek Taverna just down a bit on Cowley Road?

For Turkish, go to NEF Istanbul on the Cowley Road.

Yeah, I’d go staged too. His minders were on the move towards the exit before he caught it in his frog-face.

Me too, through the door and straight to the recycling.

The feral ginger beast of a cat, that seems to have adopted me, would drop that metal mickey in an instant.

The Robot is pretty cool though, atomic thunder-busters.?

North Oxford here too. Parked at Thornhill, travelled down on the bus then underground to start – got there earlier than expected.

Getting out and home was fine, even had time to stop for a pint before catching the bus back.

Guardian and New European for me.

Local coroner office?

Lost Paddy, our 11 yr old Springer, in October. Unwell for a week then fell asleep in our arms one evening.

He was my shadow, and unless it was a foreign holiday, by my side everyday or under my desk in the office 🙂

For the first couple of months it was a massive change in routine and was missed desperately everyday. I got some lovely artwork to put on the wall for Christmas from the family along with a lovely picture book containing loads of FB pics from when he was a pup until the fateful week.

Strangely, up until last week he didn’t feature in my dreams, but does now and always in a comforting way.

Sad times but they do get easier. Sorry for your loss.

Another vote for Baldur’s Gate 3. Although I do like to revisit XCom 2 from time to time.

My son has some decent ones from here: http://www.spatzwear.com 

Riding road at a good level. I get knackered just watching!

I bought that gravel bike off the back of this lovely journal. BMC URS 1… flippin’ love it!!

Many thanks

50 quid more but really good; Soundcore Anker Motion Boom Plus

RIP Juno.

I lost Paddy, my Springer, last night. He died in my arms surrounded by his family.:-(

This series has inspired me to buy a bikepacking rig, thanks 🙂

Looking forward to the next instalment.

I’ve a 2 and it’s good fun.

15 yr old lad worked all last summer dry-stone walling, 70 notes a day cash in hand, did look right hard graft though. 7am-4.30pm.

Oculus Quest 2 for gaming, I like it.

But hang on, aren’t the UK Gov threatening to deport kids to Rwanda if they come across in small boats, probably without food, water and decent sanitation? Why can’t we “relax the rules” for them rather than Polly who’s missed a day of Skiing?

Inspiral Carpets Saturday night which was good.

Ozric Tentacles / Gong booked up for November.

Salad Cream + Scotch Egg = yumm!

Don’t miss the deadline letters for filing, penalties come quick.

I was gifted a similar amount around 2005 and bought an Omega Seamaster. Wear it everyday and remember who those lovely people are when I look at it.

Yep, I thought he was good in Chancer too. Some other great actors appeared as well.

They really are all taking the proverbial!

You can get Northern Lights in Amsterdam. 😉

My lad is 16 tomorrow, this video makes me sad.

Westgate, well priced too for a shopping centre.
