Seeing as my work will likely be dwindling as the economic downturn ensues, I'll have time to actually write LWW again. There's lots of places to pick up from - like when Ben Moon asked if I wanted my book signed at Crag X. 

There's even footage of an esoteric 7B FA I need to upload from a couple years ago.

Yes!

This one's especially for TT, Duncan and any other academics: the REF's been cancelled.

Cancelled? I heard it had been put back a year yesterday... with a very badly worded statement that could have been out of Boris CV strategy...

If so - fantastic news.

Probably me just not reading anything properly, I'm probably wrong. Even a delay is good, unless they think that means you should be able to grind out another two 4 stars.

(I will refrain from mentioning that I will likely never have to think about it again in my life).

Is it just me or is anyone else happy with temporarily forgetting any pretence of staying in shape for climbing and instead enjoying gorging on refined carbs and alcohol?  For the last 10 days or so I've been really enjoying coming home and just slobbing around with a beer, tube of pringles and some dirty takeaway. I figure I have another 4 months or so to get over my dirty new habit and get back in shape, no point rushing things it's a marathon not a sprint.

My take is when it finally comes for you, it might be worth having a bit of excess fuel in the tank to keep the body going. Fatten yersel' up a bit like.

My alcohol consumption has fallen off a cliff without pubs and the rugby club being open. Plus you have to be organised now and cant just nip out for a bottle of wine.

The sensible would be able to just buy in bulk but unfortunately my lack of self control means i would just drink it all quicker. I am always impressed by people how can open a bottle of wine and not drink it all.

[Muenchener]

I had about 30 bottles of wine in the cellar at start of play. Fewer now.

I can no longer masturbate as I’m never alone. A lot better for my mental health.

I'm going to move my car onto some double yellows immediately.

You not showering?

I'm impressed by people who can drink wine and not grimace at the first sip. Proper pleb me.

Can’t use my phone in the shower.

What? Even if it takes three days, like me?

Post of the thread. Right there. 😂

I spent the morning in the garden (more of a little flagged yard due to it being a terrace) drawing with chalk on the paving with my daughter. Lovely. Although she seems more interested in digging soil out of the planters.

[SA Chris]

Never mind her wanting to go digging Jamie, I'm sure the picture you drew is lovely. Have a gold star.

My son has decided now he wants to run a marathon distance over the first 3 weeks, assuming they don't clamp down further. I've got a chart for him to colour in for every 1/4 mile completed, can email it if anyone wants it.

[JamieG]

Haha thanks Chris. I’ve rediscovered my love of doodling thanks to her. Crayons, paints, chalk. Great fun. 

[SA Chris]

I'm terrible at drawing, kids are the only ones who have ever been impressed by it.

Mate started doodling after kids having stopped for decades, and has started doing it as a sideline to raise a bit of cash.

He did this for me from a photo

[JamieG]

Yeah, your mate actually has talent. Those are really good. Love the style. My doodles are (and I can't emphasise this enough) nothing like that . . .

Just filled up my van. Diesel £1.06 a litre.
Then drove from Sheffield to Alnwick. Got on M1 at end of parkway set 80 on cruise control and only touched the break once before I got to the 50 zone at the angel of the north.

Cheap fuel is great, until people start losing jobs. Already redundancies at some companies in the sector.

Innovation combined with generosity!

Oxvent (a n Oxford/Kings Uni spin-off) have developed a ventilator that can be built at about a tenth of the price of current models with an open source design using off-the-shelf parts. It was on BBC CLICK today.

Well if they make a big donation to the Conservatives they might just get a contract, in the meantime we wait for Dyson and JCB to sort their shit out.

Keeping the kids apart could be our big chance to get rid of headlice "forever"

I think discovering perpetual motion is more probable.
