Pronouncing "fire" with one sylable may not be enough when others drag us closer to the Final Battle.

Annihilation is for the secularists amongst us. When I say "us", I mean 'you'. God may bring Armageddon down on to us for the mispronunciation of 'fire', and we will all be guilty for not having prevented it. Were I a younger man, I might feel the burden of my personal guilt.

We all need something to look forward to.

I sometimes listen to songs, and it drives me mad when "fire" is pronounced "Ffiah" as in Martin O. Since it seems it is me against the world, Armageddon can't come soon enough. Who else is rushing towards Armageddon?

In the post-truth world, leap years will be scheduled retrospectively. Remember, you heard it here first.

I don’t know why anyone would stand by a blatantly false statement, unless they were The Emperor of MisTruth.

If you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time, that’s just misfortune, but if you are in the wrong place at the right time you’ve really missed out.

Dance

Do you mean someone running into a guy stopping to collect a bottle? Stopping is sometimes necessary; driving into people is not.

We're getting to the pointy end of the season, and it looks like Warrington will be sitting in the Stands. I'm pleased to see Leigh doing well.

If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing yourself. Sadly, closed in 2010 or shortly thereafter.

Good on you for bringing this thread back from the dead, you could be the next Dr Frankenstein. Do you want to go and see if you can resuscitate the "Taking my ferret for a run" thread?

The Black and White quality of this image is great!

I am guessing that you are building the narrative up before you share it with us. "Ravening" is a useful word when it comes to rabies shots...

I'm guessing that there is a story behind the scratches and the rabies shot.

Cycle further; its a great way to build up a thirst

Quantification never works

I don't really bother about it. In fact, I'll go further - the thought that you might have cancer never crosses my mind. Everybody dies of something, and from the limited experience I have of close family and friends passing on, cancer is as quick and clean as anything else, once you stop biking. My worry is taking a long time to die - you might as well go as soon as you stop living You might want to cut back on medical insurance, move to a country with poorer medical infrastructure, and take up with a family who have no interest in prolonging your suffering. Sadly, those that suffer from the Hippocratic oath cannot agree with me there. But they can acquiesce to your wishes SC

You can't judge all Scottish people based on those that are left in the Old Country.

Today’s station-spotting adventure took me and my colleague to Aurora, a single - track station that is being double-tracked with a new platform. My colleague led the way with his Wahoo head unit providing directions that would have been the same as my Google Map plans, barring sieve-like recollection. Alls well that ends well, and we got to the station. The next train home was cancelled for a “police investigation” - my first surmise would be a trespasser hit by train; we could do with some lunch anyway. Following the meal, my colleague set off to ride home via a different route, and I headed back to the station. - To find that the 12:55 was also cancelled! Daunted, but never thwarted, I eschewed the offer of a bus ride to the Highway 407 bus terminal, and said I would go my own way… six checks on Google maps in the first two kilometres called that into question, but once I got onto Bayview Drive, I thought “sod the preferred cycling route home, I know where this ends up”, and 2 1/2 hours of fast but tedious and busy traffic saw me parking the bike at home, a swift few pints of cider and meeting my colleague in the pub as agreed.

I could fair go a potato scone right now, and you can be sure that I would post a picture, if the opportunity arose. I prefer "familiar", rather than 'repetitive'; "predictable", rather than 'boring', "subtle", rather than 'dull', and "plain", rather than 'ugly'.

BSE is a blood disorder. It has severely affected blood donations. Misogyny knows no bounds, but we would all benefit if it did.

I suppose it depends on your point of view. You think you are healthy and don’t need medication; but big pharma needs you to take medication to start the cycle of dependency. You might want to ask your doctor whose side he is on, and see if putting your hand in your pocket could bring him over to your side.

Shame. Our own self-image, our imagination of what others might think, keeps us in conformance with societal norms. when I say “us” , I mean me and probably you, and maybe not me either…

Breakfasts. I normally skip breakfast, so I have a limited social media presence. I like croissants, but I’d not take a picture of one. Id take a picture of a potato scone, if the opportunity arose. Who would not?
