I think we are struggling for electricity in Bradford this morning. The grill element in my cooker won't glow red.

Have you tried putting a shilling in the meter?

What, a halfpenny?

Sounds a bit dangerous to me.

Played for Parramatta, Halifax and Wakefield, didn't he? :tongue:

Corrected to account for your typical Yorkshire profligacy (sic).;)

I thought I would make a start at getting fit and would try going for a ride on my Son in Laws bike.  It was right at the back of the shed so I didn't bother. It's a shame as I was really looking forward to it.

We are often told that 90% of success in sport is in the mind so if you thought about going for a ride that's 90% as good as actually going for one.

Kim Jong Un's brother has died in Malaysia of natural causes after being shot 4 times in the head. Dodgy ticker apparently.

Lead poisoning, surely?

It was an issue with his genetics, they were linked with a nasty little bug.

I've just finished work. 1am I logged off. I have a 9am meeting in London meaning I'm up at 6:15 to make sure I get there on time 

I will curse anyone who calls NHS managers lazy to an eternity of use as a rugby union prop's jock strap.

No-one's calling you lazy. But that smacks of inefficiency.  Have you thought about being more efficient?  That will help the NHS more than money ever could.

So, work smarter, not harder?  I'd never thought of that.  You could be a senior consultant for Deloitte with that level of clarity and insight. ;)

I've been accepted into this year's Ride London.

In other news, I've just watched a video of cyclists attempting to go up Leith Hill and now feel like weeping.
