  1. For the first time in quite a while, I woke this morning feeling very saddened.

    My thoughts go out to those in suffering everywhere.

    I think it's my fault. I used up all the good luck yesterday when I got my brother's Frod Fiasco
    through an MOT.

    My thoughts go out to those in suffering everywhere.

    3am this morning, I was in Eye (which is a real place in Suffolk) picking up staff from the chicken
    factory. Reports of war were coming in, as always with breaking news, little facts and newscasters
    stretching out the material they had. A crowd of people were gathered around the telly in the
    canteen, half of them in a sort of voyeuristic trance. The other half were saying things like "kill
    the [censored]".

    Bizarre as it may seem, I'm more upset about Russ. After all, the war was inevitable - doesnt
    surprise me in the slightest. I don't know Russ personally but he obviously rides his bike in the
    right mindset. And a lot. And this is one of those very bad things that comes along and buggers you
    up like a hoover inhaling a ball bearing.

    Quoted message said:

    Shaun aRe - Today is not a good day.

    Agreed. Nice and sunny though. And the smell of fresh cut grass is drifting in through the window.

    Maybe an am-b group hug is in order.

    Errrmm, right - did I just drop a clanger re-bomba's mum? - Soz if there's something going on
    there that I missed/forgot about. I thought you'd thrown that in as a sideways dig at

    thought it was rather amusing 😉

    Soz pal - that message wasn't on my server - I just thought that (typically) Andy was saying you're
    mum was suffering having you as a son, heheheheh...

    Hey, all the best to your mum Jon - hope she heals up quick.
