    Happy National Tea Day!

    No. It was like the Peter Kay sketch. What makes it funnier is that it was a cup of camomile. :cry:

    Happy National Tea Day!

    My girlfriend has just dropped a square of Cadbury's chocolate in her cup of tea. Is that acceptable?

    Motorsport Off Topic Thread

    Yes, although this looks to place them above the rear crash structure, under the rear wing. This Motorsports article explains more. Thinking about it, if I were a rear-wing sponsor I wouldn't be too happy, as I've just lost advertisement potential.

    The best way to have a cuppa. As for bananas in tea, hang your head in shame @BananaDunka

    How much crap do you have on hire purchase?

    That is it exactly. I could have bought the guitar outright, but I'd rather have the money in my bank earning me some interest than Anderton's.

    How much crap do you have on hire purchase?

    Currently, only our sofa, although that is 0% finance for 3 years, so why not? We also installed new windows in the house and the company offered a 12-month 0% deferred payment agreement. Personally, in the past, I did buy a Gibson Les Paul on 0% finance over 3 years. There is nothing else...

    Am I remembering this old Don's name right?

    I remember him during a game of the OCUK Poker Tournament having to go all in a few times in the hope of losing. He'd let his daughter watch Marley and Me in the other room and forgot about the sad bit and had to dash off to comfort her. It's a shame the Internet doesn't feel the same anymore.

    Scrabble scrambled scam

    Right next time I see you, we'll play a game. I struggle with spelling and therefore I find Wordle and Scrabble harder than most. Anything easier is a win in my book.

    Platypus' Beginners Guide to Running

    I decided to continue last week's training, which was 5,10,5,20. I did have to get up at 4 am to run the 10 miles on Wednesday due to being in the office and then out for a meal and drinks, but boy was I knackered when I crawled into bed. I was dreading the 20-mile long run on Saturday and...

    Platypus' Beginners Guide to Running

    Sorry this post is a moan, you've been warned! Ugh, another pretty crap long run on Saturday. The marathon plan had me running 9 miles on Friday, followed by another 14 miles on Saturday. I woke up on Saturday with a headache, never a good start, and probably a little dehydrated. I had no...

    Netflix Turning Point The Bomb and the Cold War

    I'm currently watching episode 7 as I type this. I think it's very well done and helps to tie everything together regarding Russia's history and the surrounding countries.

    I can never remember which way is port or starboard. Is there a handy way of remembering it?

    Bacon butties - with or without butter?

    How can you not like brioche buns?! :eek: They are lovely with a burger, the sweetness contrasts nicely with the savoury burger.

    On Saturday I completed my longest-ever run to date,16 miles. https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/embed/14432952593 I did seem to struggle with this run. The alerts (eating and drinking) on the watch weren't enabled therefore, I had to attempt to keep track of myself and lost track. My...

    How often do you use a pen or pencil to write?

    The only time I use a pen is to write birthday cards. Pencils are used rarely. I can't remember the last time I used one.
