You've missed the £27bn or so that gets spent on housing benefit. That's not all unemployed, granted, but all unemployed folks qualify and receive it.
That £2.3bn is unemployment benefits, which is a deliberately small category. The unemployed can and do claim a lot more than that. And it outweighs military spending by a huge margin.That's not true. My sister is unemployed but because she lives with my mum she gets no housing assistance. She still has to pay housing costs and head two children. Mum is really struggling to pay the mortgage but because she gets a small pension she also gets no housing help. When dad died mum's pension increased by a few pounds a week, as a result they increased her council tax by £80 per month so she's now much worse off. She worked until she was 70.

I do indeed have some and if I go to the NEC Bike Show in November I may treat myself to some custom moulded ones which should be comfortable enough for all night use. I find the rubarb and custard ones I use on the bike irritating after a few hours without a break.
Thankfully the inconsiderate revellers took their party indoors by half eleven last night and I dropped off to sleep soon after.
We live close enough to the "student village" for Bucks New Uni that every September when the new intake of freshers arrive we get a couple of bad weeks of constant noise until they realise how quickly they're drinking their funds away and they've had a few visits from the Rozzers. Just around the corner then. Oh goody.
I've tried sleeping in my custom ones and it proved very painful for me, I then tried disposable ones and that was fine. my conclusion is that because my custom ones are a rubber/plastic material and are firm, they must dig into my head. whereas disposable ones are soft and I've found they do fall out during the night, but they don't see me waking up during the night in some discomfort....

Herring gulls. After 10 days away I was woken up them this morning and they were making a terrible racket from 4am for about 2 hours. It happens every day. We aren't near a town centre, dump or the sea, I can't find any obvious source of food attracting them. It winds the cat up so he wakes me as soon as he hears them. No wonder I'm tired all the time.

Hearing the news today that a broadcaster I've known for nearly twenty years has died very soon after being diagnosed with cancer. He was one of those people who had a beautiful voice, but the charm you heard on air was genuine. He was a real gentleman who loved sport and devoted his life to sharing that enjoyment with others via the airwaves. He's about the fourth colleague to die in as many weeks. Much as I love being called by people asking if I have a nice photo of a person, just recently it's too often been for obituaries or funeral order of services.

Ok, no worries, I will take the wife's ER6. Go to get fuel, and I can't open the filler. Seized up again. Sod it, I'll take the car then!

on my way home from work after the test match finished early, sat in stationary traffic and a f****** car decides to reverse towards me to then try and get a gap that just wasn't there (hence why I was stationary). luckily the idiot only broke my indicator and after looking like he was going to drive away despite my beeping horn finally got out of his car. thankfully the bike was/is rideable so I would have been able to chase the git if he had tried to naff off.... he was very apologetic and instantly was offering to pay for the damage.
so I now have to get the bike to a dealer to find out how much it will cost for them to supply and fit a new indicator (I am not going to go through the hassle of trying to do it myself!).

There are nearly a dozen people I know in Florida who have refused to evacuate for hurricane Irma.
Tornados now reported on the ground where some of them live with the winds and flooding still to come.
Having grown up spending summers on the coast I have been in a few hurricanes, even once in the eye of a hurricane ,
of course no where near the size of Irma, but with that experience I have to wonder, WTF are these people thinking???
Too late to get out now.
Thoughts and prayers for the foolish.
Many have stayed and many will likely die in Florida in the next 12 to 18 hours.

The low air pressure under a cyclone system sucks the sea up (or rather takes the pressure off and the 'normal' pressure outside the tornado pushes the sea up) - if land where you live is only few feet above high tide anyway that is real bad news.
When we lived near the beach in Aussie (Sydney) we had a waterspout hit our house, I saw how dark it was getting outside (in the middle of the day) and went to close some windows thinking it was gonna 'p!ss down, felt the window vibrating and it went as black as midnight - within a minute the spout had wrecked half our street (including taking roofs off, ripping up all the trees, overturning cars and a neighbours car-port was ripped up and took down the power lines (power lines in Aussie go down the street on poles)) - it then bounced like a pogo stick and touched down further up the hill, wrecking about 40 more homes - at least we didn't get street floods, although our place was flooded because it no longer had a roof, but the state emergency service (mainly volunteers) quickly turned up and put huge plastic tarpaulins over the damaged roofs and generally dealt with the incident in a very speedy and efficient way.
Makes you appreciate the power of nature a bit, and that sucker was a minuscule fraction of the size of Irma.
Funny how the Hurricanes always arrive in alphabetical order, who said queues were a thing of the past, wonder if they ever get one that wants to move up a few places ?
just had a look at the IR images and it looks like a two for one. would not like to be in Cuba or the British Virgin Islands right now.

Chasing my tail all afternoon trying to get my powerline plugs to connect to the master plug, the last one was in the garage, so its a walk from the garage to the house after hitting the pairing button. Many attempts at doing it, and despite the plug saying I had network connection, the PC said nah!

Having to drive the cage in to work to get an MOT. Now this would normally be bad enough.
However today I made it even more special. Got to work at 7am having just done a boring 22 mile commute in the cage instead of the fun filled hooning that is my normal near death ride into work. Only to find that I had somehow picked up my wife's keys too.
Bugger.
So I had to go home again, in fairly **** near rush hour traffic. Drop the keys off and come back again in gridlock. Finally got to work 2 1/2 hours after I had already been there.
I really hate today. And I get the joy of being stuck in it all again later.
Days like today remind me of why I don't think twice about getting on the bike come rain,shine or sleet.

I had an idea from riding in the rain the other day. Why don't visors have "hoods"?
So it would attach to the top of the visor and go over the back of the helmet. That way you could have the visor part way open so that it doesn't steam up, without having rain running down the inside of the visor

In the pre pinlock days, when visors fogged up with a 🐁 exhaling breath the old trick was to put one drop of washing up liquid on the inside of a dry visor and polish this drop until the visor was clear and smear free.
It worked too, just cracking the visor cleared it. Stopped working if the visor got wet on the inside.

My bike spent a lot of it's life in London and Wales, now finally settled with me :rolleyes:
I had some wiring (garmin and 12v socket) to properly route below the tank so while I was there changed the clutch cable. Selector linkage needed a little muc off(similar to wd40), some persuasion that rhymes with the former and well, the sprocket cover inner had nearly an inch thick sticky gloop of chain oil and welsh countryside.

You must have been good parents for teenagers, as you've guided her into University education.
My eldest was supposed to start uni too, after a gap year, but because of her anxiety issues, she's decided that she doesn't want to go to the uni that had accepted her, as they weren't responding to her emails. She felt she wouldn't get the support she might need, plus it wasn't the uni she really wanted to go to in the first place.
So another year at home for her.
I don't mind folio much, as no point her going when she was going to be unhappy, but lack of communication didn't help her, but then she was worried about us getting angry.
Thanks! im not sure its us as much as how insanely driven she is but it must be tough, I could never have done it.

Nice day so thought I might take the bike out, but hadn't realised how long since I last rode it so dead battery. By the time I'd charged it I was in to doing other stuff instead and couldn't be bothered to get my leathers on again.
On the upside, I had time to make two Newton Wonder (a type of apple) traybakes and a batch of chocolate brownies. One traybake for work, the other and the brownies were dropped off at the County Ground this morning as a 'well done' to the lads for winning the championship. I made sure the security man knew what the boxes were that I'd left outside the dressing room at 6.45am. The last thing I'd want to read on BBC news is 'Cricket ground evacuated due to suspect package that turned out to be a Mary Berry recipe cake'!

It's a bugger, back pain, isn't it. Getting into and out of the car is pretty excruciating, even just sitting down and standing up again is painful. Got intermittent sciatica down my legs as well.
It's also the fact that this is the third injury of one sort or another this year that has interfered with my running which is hacking me off.

A former team member of mine, and also a friend had a prolapsed disc, which pressed on his sciatic nerve. He could barely walk.
But after having an epidural injection at the end of the nerve, and working on his core strength he's back to full fitness. Luckily he had a sister who was a physio
All my issues stem from over tight or short hamstrings, which comes from my cycling.
I should do more stretching and work on my core, but I'm a bit lazy, as when my leg isn't giving me jip I lose my motivation to keep it in check.

It's an age thing Gary bodies don't fix themselves like they used to, and we still think we'll get fit and well like when we were 21 with no input from us, so it's not laziness :D

I was indestructible at 21! Trouble is, the abuse comes back to haunt us later in life .......

The Radio 1- onification of Radio 2, not only by presenters but in the playlists, starting to hear the mid numbing pop that's a feature of R1, rather than the diverse 60s,70s,80s,90s,00s playlists of old
An example of what I'm on about, when I've been forced to listen to R1, the whole lot have sounded like this.

BIL had it bad the other week, somethings going round
Tuesday the car (Impreza Turbo) was starting 1st time every time. Wednesday the battery was totally dead. The car needed a rare battery that cost me £106.

Although it's not been really cold,it has been colder at night. Can kill a battery, first frost had done this to one of my batteries before

I've started going to a gym again. Unfortunately my current client doesn't have one on site so I'm paying for one. That's not my gripe though. Cannot believe they want a quid to use the scales!

I just went to my gym and they are closed. Last night the showers and pool were closed for refurbishment with no warning. Nobody mentioned to me that they would be completely closed today. The least they could have done is send an email

Perhaps they thought all members stopped going in February and won't go back again until the New Year.

My new place was packed out on Tuesday (my first visit) and thankfully not quite as bad this evening. I know I'm there at peak after-work times but on Tuesday it was madness, and it seemed to be full of students who you would have thought would have gone at a quieter time. So I'm hoping the young gits will start running out of money soon and will will cut back on their membership (no contract at this place) and it will quieten down a bit. Wishful thinking I know. Gawd only knows what it'll be like in January...
