Someone has started defacing Michael Gove's election placards. And no it isn't me ( not that I haven't thought about it).

Was reading Three men in a boat by JKJ (again) last night as I couldn't sleep. Class. Laughed so much I woke up Mrs B and got told to shut up. Amazing to think that it was written in 1890 ish.

Waiting at a red light this morning on the pushbike on the way in to work, and another cyclist on a fancy road bike went steaming past me straight through the light.  Normally this would have been a grump, but the cyclist in question was young, female and wearing an extremely tight pair of black leather leggings.  The light went green shortly thereafter, and I caught her up - normally I would have overtaken but for some reason this morning I decided that she was actually going quick enough and stayed behind for the rest of the way in.

Fixed my IP cam.

Moved it slightly to run it on ethernet.

Drilled the hole through the pvc door frame for the cables.

 

This left me with a hole to cover, and a couple of hours head scratching.

 

Being a bodging bastard I covered the hole with a ketchup bottle cap.

 

Seamless.

I often do that with the Grossmith brothers' Diary of a Nobody. Written around the same time but still absolutely relevant today.

It does kinda help to know that things we consider pressing problems in our hectic lives were ever thus...

I listened to a podcast on bbc sounds, the missing cryptoqueen 
short version, Dr Ruja Ignatova sets up a rival to Bitcoin called OneCoin , it goes viral , billions of euros worldwide flood in , only it's a scam , they have no blockchain and the coin value is made up, people see their investment skyrocket only they can't spend it and the can't withdraw it so it's just numbers on a screen.
Dr Ruja legs it never to be seen again
while looking for her they go to africa , literally a village made up of a dozen houses in the middle of nowhere and they all own OneCoin , some have sold their farms to buy more based on the strength of previous investments
They go to the salesman , yes it's a pastor who happens to be driving a new Range Rover

This was a really interesting Podcast, the hype they create for OneCoin and the pyramid sales scam explosion before even mining for coins is shocking!

Billy's for sale thread of the lovely* Pissrat estate made me grin today. In fact, I nearly spat my coffee across the screen reading it.

I only got that because the couple of asdas near me seem to have a shortage of goblin. The hen is okay though.

Old crafty hen and old hoppy hen are worth a go.

I hope the police officer that hit them wasn't injured.

I saw a 2002 Saab 9-3 for sale here for $800...and was looking up mechanical fixes on them because starter turns, no start, no compression...an here's 2 actual questions owners asked:

1. "How far will my Saab go with a full tank?" _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

2.  "Engine stops...light comes on that has A PICTURE OF A SHOE. What does that mean?" _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

 

did cars like that wind up in the UK?....................please fill in good answers

1. To the moon and back, providing it's on a trailer.

2. Road ahead closed. Continue on foot.

was she eastern european , in the summer my car boot sale mornings have been improved dramatically by young eastern european women in lycra running clothes, though I have noticed once they've been here a while the McDonalds effect kicks in and they go from walnut cracker cheeks to slightly more padding.

I thought the last bit of that was quite informative to watch. Tells you a lot about the physics and trajectory of the human body being tossed into the air.
