So fucking depressing isn't it.

It's really lovely that mate. Bet you can't wait for Monday (good post weekend blues hack that too!)

Interesting discussion and some name mentions worthy of a follow up (the Simone woman who works in AI). Thanks for sharing as ever mate. You devour books like I do kettle crisps. I may be moving home soon and what to ensure I have a dedicated 'reading area' (powered by a new habit I need to...

Thanks mate. Just needed that assist to nudge the ball in. I'll get in sent in. I do have my dad's old watch that sadly got damaged a few years ago. Always thinking of a way it can be restored so these guys might be an option to look at that too. It's an old work watch his dad was given a...

Anyone seen the Dead Zone recently? First time I saw Walken and he stood out then as being a brilliant actor, if a little different. A rather queasy, but fine movie that. My kids have discovered him through the Apple series Severance, so I'm thinking of watching this with them.

Hey all. I had my battery changed on this a couple of months or so back. A few weeks later I noticed the watch had stopped. I took this back to the watch repairs in Cheadle Village (who have always been very helpful) and she suggested as the battery was brand new it was probably a case of...

Much of Piccadilly Garden, top end of Market street & High Street and lower Oldham Street which meets Picadilly gardens is still a remnant of when Manchester wasn't doing too well back in the 80's. Sachas hotel (and Britannia owned by the same crew) is a fucking state. However, much of the rest...

Haha maybe. There's something in the agua.....

Astonishing performance by Alcaraz. Watched if with my daughter just as I used to watch Wimbledon with my mum as a kid. One of the few constants I have. He's only going to get better this guy. I didn't actually think he was playing that ambitiously (3rd gear for much of Wimbledon) but he...

I'm aware of all that. But I'm guessing we're not talking about a walking tour around bomb shelters and canal paths.

Where’s the new train station? Cheadle? Underground plans sounds like rather dramatic news.

Yeah, cheers. I'll do the same tonight. Keep lightly pushing. What I'm interested in though is how I can prevent this again. It's a big chunk of discomfort and time, never mind the knock on effects of not being able to exercise (and guaranteed I'll put a bit of weight on and my muscles will...

Alcaraz starting to warm up. Should be an interesting next set of games....

Was looking for a bit of solidarity as I've been walloped by this latest strain (nowhere near the one I had in 2021 pre vaccine) but in 2024 there's still some grubby, petulant neck beards posting on here (as much as I hate to use the block function, I feel it's time to finally deploy.... I had...

Was Sinner ill for a while? Just caught a mention but haven't seen.

Wasn't James Dyson a Pro Brexit champion? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/jul/09/dyson-cut-uk-workforce-jobs

Just saw a clip of her Zooming into a conference bringing out line such as 'woke virus'. She's absolutely fucking nuts isn't she?

I've mentioned before that when I had it back in 2021 I was knocked out for three week (the first week I couldn't get out of bed) but the after effects (long covid as it turned out) lasted many, many months (in fact I couldn't return to running for nearly a year). I may or may not have had...

His Delia moment....

Rune fizzled out. And the aforementioned panto villain Djokovich having a go at the crowd in this speech was mildy amusing....
