There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Aside from giving my liver/kidneys a good workout, I've almost finished decorating the front bedroom. I've got x2 more before baby arrives but plenty of time for that.

I removed the skin from the knuckles on my right hand.

Yes, I changed the spark plugs on the SV and I still hate the front plug.

I stayed absolutely silent from 8pm on 24th December until 7pm on 27th December - I didn't utter a single word to any living thing for a whole 71 hours, mainly because I didn't see anyone for that length of time.

Now that has got to be the biggest favour to mankind ever.

I only broke my silence because my housemate came home and asked a question that required a long answer, then he buggered off again after 5 minutes

Something I need to do as well, but I was going to use 200mbps homeplugs instead of long cable runs.

Finished building my winter bike(bicycle) and went out for a ride on Boxing Day

I washed and polished my Versys and the company FJR, but I don't class that as useful.

Valve check on Sylvie, then fitted a new tank pad and cleaned out the garage. Two days off from work, felt like I needed much more.
