    Sunday has gotten off to a flying start, literally. Out on Fireblade this morning, I hit something slippery at about fifty which while didn't unseat me, caused the mother of tankslappers and I ended up hitting the kerb on the other side of road. Game over.

    One side of the bike is perfect, the other side less so. Fairing lower, both wheels broken, mirror, indicator. Could have been much worse, at least there was no traffic coming the other way.

    At the moment I'm walking like I've aged 30 years. In a fair bit of pain too. Typing this with my left hand while my right rests on a bag of frozen peas. At least I don't have to work for another nine days.
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I'm walking like that and I haven't even been on a bike. Right knee is buggered at the moment and I don't know why.

    Sorry about your bike Steve. I hope you heal up OK.

    Thanks Geoff, it's a bit shit having aches and pains for no good reason, eh? Like having hangovers without having had a drink

    Not bothering with the insurance for the bike even though repairs will cost hundreds. I'd have to pay couple hundred excess, bugger up fourteen years of no claims and the fall out will no doubt affect premiums for bike, van and car.

    Pigmy Pony clocking off for seven days. C'mon I know you like having me round, making the rest of you look intelligent. For serious discussions about runny poo and spunk bubbles, the king of toilet humour (Marco) will keep the flag flying.

    Oh dahling, you'll be missed! I presume you're having *that* operation you mentioned? And I know you'll miss having it dangling there
