A walk along the beach from Playa Del Ingles to Maspalomas is different than from Whitby to Sandsend.

I’ve never before felt overdressed wearing only a pair of shorts.

Mrs Moose has insisted on doing the same walk for the last 8 days, mumbling about being short changed these last 40 odd years.

Doesn't a sunhat count as cheating, GYJ?

The first ever National anti-smoking programme was implemented by the Nazis, they banned smoking on public transport, in air raid shelters and in various public buildings and restaurants. They also banned advertising that showed it as a positive thing. It was also banned in the Luftwaffe and SS officers were banned from smoking while on duty. Meanwhile the allied forces seemed to virtually survive on cigarettes and if you view any film from then or all through the 50s smoking is virtually compulsory.

Ha! I remember the 50s. Our family GP, Doc Murphy, used to smoke a pipe. The waiting room was bad enough, but stepping into his surgery must have taken a year off my life every time.

I bought a new pair of trainers on Saturday, my older ones were 6 years old, or so, and smelled like Salford's home changing room. However the new shoes have given me blisters on my heel that might take until Easter to heal. Heal the heel. I am in agony. TCP has helped, but I am wearing flip-flops in winter.

Serves you right for buying inferior Swinton merchandise.

New Year, same sh*t.

Happy New Year.

Smart ass, they are Karrimor shoes, designed to carry your plebeian team,

If Swinton ever did produce merchandise, I am sure it would be better than Salford's tat,

I saw these this afternoon and I wondered what they were called. Turns out they are mammatus clouds or mammary clouds.

Mammatus clouds are often associated with extreme weather, but when they are formed in the sky it merely indicates "descending pockets of small droplets or ice crystals from an anvil surface", BOM said.

The first shot fired by the British side in WW1 was fired by Australians, in Melbourne.

The German cargo ship SS Pfalz, had been docked in Melbourne when it received news that war was about to start and they should get out of Dodge ASAP. Before they reached the open sea an Australian artillery  position just south of Melbourne received news that we, as part of the Empire, were at war with Germany. They signalled the Pfalz to turn around and the ship refused. They fired one shot across the bow and, after some conversation, the German skipper agreed to turn around and head back to port.
