Hello yourself.
Although I'm not a huge Sue Perkins fan, I've seen two of the four episodes and I thought they were excellent.
I've been enjoying

I guess I enjoyed it from knowing his type from my youth in the London markets, if you know what I mean.

I find him a very engaging chracter. In the original programme about Billingsgate he was not very likeable but very watchable, but the new series (liniked above) he is both engaging and likeable. He also has a wonderful naivety when out of his comfort zone of home.

Wouldn't last long on most bikes - take your hand off the throttle & the bike will slow down sharply. You learn not to wave with your right hand first time you nearly go over the handlebars....
You can fit 'cruise controls' to keep the throttle engaged though.

I'm happy to practice staying on the bike, not finding ways to fall off it. Anyway, I couldn't do that pose on the living room carpet, never mind hurtling down a strip of concrete at 40mph.
The bloke in my local motorcycle shop told me 2 months ago that they were having a half-price clothing sale on December 1st. So I went in bright and early expecting it to be packed but I was the only customer there.
"I thought you would be busy on the first day of your sale" I said.
"Oh we were" he replied. "We had it last Saturday".
There was hardly anything left. I still managed to get a good pair of gloves and some waterproof trousers though.
I have a 2 hour lesson and then take my Mod 1 on Friday.
Smoke me a kipper.....

No. I went and saw an instructor and spent half an hour getting on his good side. (As per the T Kendall Cooey Wooey method) Then I told him I was skint so I needed to get through my test as cheaply as possible.
He gave me a one hour assessment and advised me to go away and take my theory test and then book in for a two hour lesson plus test at a cost of £125 using his 600cc bike. If I pass the Mod 1 we'll book in for mod 2.
That's where we are at the moment.

I was thinking last night about the bloke (Or woman, who knows?) who invented the wheel.
Inventing the wheel is no biggie, it almost invented itself. Stand on a round stone or a log and it will roll beneath you.
Inventing the axle, so that when the load moves, the wheel goes with it. That was the clever bit.

Thought you were referring to Rich Hall.

I struggled for years with the concept of a limited-slip diff.
If only I'd had YouTube back then.

Yesterday, it came to my notice that there is a difference between a quilt and a duvet. I had to Google to find out what it was.
I didn't find the explanation interesting, but the fact that there is a difference is. (Or should that be was?)
