Stirling is a very strange town. It doesn't half remind me of a small version of Bradford. The train station is the best bit of the town so far.

On topic though: the centre of Inverness is further west than the centre of Glasgow

The lump that Mrs Ginger has been getting very concerned about is benign.

Adding to the sense that time has passed Stirling bye is that the train line isn't electrified.

"Depart at rainy Grantham for sunny Skegness". :P. I think the train conductor is bored.

The line to Hastings isn't electrified and nobody could say that time has passed ... oh.

When I was born in 1971 apparently there were just over 3.8bn people alive.  Now there's over 7.2bn.

A chap is coming tomorrow to Chateau Timtum for a photo shoot.  I've promised my wife that I won't do anything risqué or that I might regret by the following morning.

Just bought a ticket for Glyndebourne.  The Tour rather than the Festival so formal wear is optional.

A small (£232) tax rebate just dropped into my bank account. Considering I only submitted my 2014 tax return online last Sunday, that's a four-day response. Impressively quick!

Just listened to some bloke called Tim, who makes sausages, on the radio.

Edited by Bedford Roughyed

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

They do give me a nice bit of publicity every now and then them two (Radcliffe & Maconie).

 

And I managed to mention rugby league!

 

Hope I didn't come across as too much of a posterior….

I wasn't really listening... then heard the words sausages and Rugby League...

There's an advert on the regional paper's website (East Anglian Daily Times) that says "Did you know that the EADT is available to view online?".  Nope, I didn't, thankfully your website helped me learn that you have a website.

First day back at work today after two weeks off on sick leave. Not enjoying this at all. It's sunny and nice outside and I am stuck here ploughing through 100s of unread emails and I have a very dull telecon due to start in 15 mins.

Unless it's a web teleconference with functionality that shows who is speaking, why not liven it up with a few noises during the call.  Maybe some heavy breathing, the occasional fart, background music or similar.

Sadly there's a web option for controlling the call (even if no slides) so you can see which line the noise is coming from and mute or disconnect them if you feel that way inclined. Have to play nicely.

My internet connection with BT is suffering as part of their national problem with their routing to most internet sites.  TRL is one of the very few sites that I can access.
