You should have given him another couple of blasts

Drain covers that lift when it rains really hard.
I avoided the covers on the A41 this morning, it was the raw sewage that covered the bike and me that really annoyed me.

Filtering though to the front of the traffic, only to have the kawasaki die.
Hence forth it is to be known as Dobie

The phrase 'I won't be long'

4 1/2 hours later....... and you wonder why I get grumpy because as usual its left for me to do the stuff that needs doing

Getting lost. The European Space Agency have never been on some of the Org rideouts so this is probably a new experience to them, where they come up with all those careful plans of exactly where they want to be and then end up somewhere completely different, and even then they are not quite sure if where they think they are is where they actually are and it could be anyone's guess how they get home again. But at least we can usually find a pub or ice cream shop.

Blue area shows where Philae might be - in a crater. Red area was targeted site!

And on that theme - here's the letter I sent to my train company today after they failed spectacularly again yesterday to run any sort of service.

Great letter, just don't hold your breath for a reply!

" signal failures, points failures and overhead line failures "
looks like the pikeys are coming out of their pits - the dark nights do that - and are rewiring their cars ( stolen & untaxed ) their vans ( ditto ) and their caravans ( also ditto )
. . or there's an Essex lounge lizard desperately trying to rewire his/her SV using ever-thicker cable?

ps: hope you're not holding your breath for a reply.
Edit: if I hadn't been so long-winded I'd have beaten you to it, R.H.
