Aye, but my neck only needs a gentle defrost and it struggled with a 4 hour flight.

Canny backdrop for breakfast this morning...

That sickening moment when you return to the car park to find an empty space where your car was... and then realise you've returned to the wrong bloody car park! Dopey sod.
Striking fear into the hearts of duplicate posts everywhere...! :P

that is hilarious. :-D reminds of what my mum did many years ago. she went shopping in sutton in ashfield one day. parked the car up as normal. after her shopping trip, she forgot where she parked, caught the bus home, and then dragged my dad out with her in his car, and spent over an hour looking for her car. found it eventually. but boy, was she embarrassed. :-D

Don't believe everything you read about precipitation... it was persisting when we landed. :(

Mind you, where would you find a view like this from an hotel in Solihull?

Birthday card from my 28 year old daughter made me smile - it's her comment about me being an engineer and always giving her what she calls a 'too much information' answer when she was a child ...

Picture shows a Dad walking holding hand of young son, about 6, who says "Daddy, where does poo come from?
Dad answers "Well, food goes into our tummies, our bodies take out the good stuff, and whatever's left comes out of our bottoms".....

Little boy then asks

"and what about Tigger?"

:bonk:

Leave me alone, I think I know what I'm doing.

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

My backdrop was pretty cool as well and a good bit sunnier.
