I have no idea when it went missing. I never take it off. Gutted, feel a bit sick. As well as livid.


I wouldn't suggest getting on a motorbike 2 mins after you realise something like this.
This morning was a full on rage ride.
Sad day, feel for you.
You'll miss it for ages. Took mine off in January prior to an operation and the swelling still hasn't gone down so I cannot put it back on. Still keep touching my finger where it should be.

Thanks,
Yeah now I know it's not there I can't help but notice it's absence. Shame I have no idea when or where it came off.


Well it looks like there is a down side to losing weight and getting fitter. I've lost the best part of 10 kilos since Christmas. (and now the ring)


PS. I hope the swelling goes down soon.

The youth of today who require me as their passenger to act as navigator, and tell them where to turn off the motorway, on a journey they're done many times before and where there's bloody great motorway signs saying Dartford Crossing!

But they still miss taking the exit.

Look in the obvious places especially where your hands get wet like around the sink. Check in bed, laundry basket, shower tray. Then call places you've been where you washed your hands like restaurants, shops. If someone found it they might have handed it in, worth a try. Hope it turns up.

I have been separated 7 months now but have taken to wearing my Sri Lankan sapphire on that finger, partly because it's the only finger it fits and it's a beautiful color change gem, but also because I kept having a momentary panic thinking I'd lost my wedding ring before remembering I'm not married any more!

Flickr has been bought by another company, how long before they start charging for their image hosting?

Yobbish behaviour. Went to Severn Valley Railway today as the weather was nice and it's a good ride through the edge of the Cotswolds. They had a gala event on and the place was rammed and half the people there it seemed were groups of lads bragging about how drunk they get every night. I wasn't the only one getting fed up with them as I could see others looking daggers at them too. One lot even pushed a guy out of their way so they could look out of a window and berated and intimidated him dreadfully until he stomped off. They thought that was hilarous - utter wonkers, all of them! And don't get me started about the families with young kids who were hot and fed up and clearly did not want to be there and should not have been dragged there just 'cos mum and dad wanted to go. The screaming and shouting along the whole of my final journey was so jarring by the time we got back I walked straight out and got back on the bike!
