Global fatbike day this Saturday.

Obviously originated in countries which have snow this time of year. For me it's the annual opportunity to get muddy in and around Swanage!

Don't complain about Tory Laura Kuenssberg. Stop watching her and similar shills.
Take the power from them.
Turn them off.
Make the client media irrelevant.

Why would they "grow up" when people still read, watch and listen?

How to tune a snare drum head.

1. Tighten all the lugs finger tight in a clockwise pattern.
2. Stand on the drum skin and then tighten the lugs with a drum key until the skin crackles slightly.
3. Repeat step 2 until you run out of thread.
4. Your snare drum is now correctly tuned...

Chilly e fat bike ride to the New Forest. Smelt paraffin by an old cottage. Annoying, but totally understandable that farmers manage bridleways in the winter when they're hardly used.

The roof of Brampton Towers is the highest point in Southampton. Almost had a flat there in the early 1980s. πŸ™‚
