The All New Megathread

Morning orgers. I was contemplating heading out for a run this morning but the sky is as black as the ace of spades. I think we're about to get some serious rain again.

What's everyone else up to this weekend?

Morning. Weeding/digging up yet more Spanish bluebells. I was thinking of going for a ride but rain radar is showing intermittent light drizzle. I'll know better when I get outside and start digging in the dirt...


Interesting thread on reddit about the pronunciation of "none". There are two camps: "non" and "nun", I'm in the former. Half the UK population (on reddit) didn't know the other camp existed.

Scone or scon? Has to be scone - bone, stone, alone, gone..oh no, wait, hang on.... and none.

It's 'non' and 'scone' as in 'bone'

I have zero plans this weekend, and I might not even get around to those ...

The Monkey has come to see us for the weekend so we went for a nice walk around the charming Chiltern village of Turville, better known as the filming location of The Vicar of Dibley, Goodnight Mr Tom, and many more. On the hill above is Cobstone Windmill, better known as the home of Caractacus Potts in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

The village pub is called The Bull and Butcher and was our stop over for lunch. Fantastic grub and Brakespear on tap. Trouble is I am now struggling to stay awake...

If you want to picture the place watch any number of the episodes of Midsomer Murders constantly on repeat on ITV3. It's all filmed in the villages around Turville. If you ever spot Barnaby heading into or past a flint-faced pub called The Chequers, that's in Fingest, just half a mile from Turville!

both pronunciations are correct. "non existent" and "there are nun left". yes the english language is great.

Morning all. Largely dry day forecast for here today, but a fair bit of snow tomorrow morning. I think the bike will be staying under cover for a short while!

Today would be a good day to get out and about. Thurs and Friday are looking very wet and miserable.

It's that part of the year when we're all waiting for that first bright, dry day when you can smell the unmistakeable tang of spring in the air, and you realise that your fingers and toes are actually staying warm while you're riding.

Not here Craig! It's blooming nippy out there, despite the sun.
