So it's come to this ...

FFS, I've just spent much of the afternoon sitting. In an armchair. In my lounge. Reading a NEWSPAPER. The garden has a every single seed removed, the beds have had straight edges cut with military precision, and I've bought one of those horrible plastic greenhouses for growing tomatoes. Thank goodness I have dogs to constantly maintain a layer of dust and spattering of mud on the walls...and the rain is making new weeds grow....

I used to homebrew, then I had an incident with some home made kit, which let to loss of power in the shed. I bought all the bits for a new stainless steel brewery after that, they've sat in the shed for four years. I've finally got round to drilling some holes and fitting some fixings. I still need a few hundred quids worth of bits and bobs, oh, and an electrician to wire my shed into the main fusebox. But we're close to being able to brew again...

Holy thread resurrection, Batman

Went for a ride with my son early doors (he can wheelie like a street scote...) and after cleaning the bikes he went up to his room and I flopped on the sofa and channel surfed till I landed on the 1985 World Snooker Championship replay on the tele.

OMG .. the Black Ball Final ....

I watched this in raptures back then, as a Pot Black obsessed teenager, beamed live via satellite right to my living room mat in Brisbane. Steve Davis, the unbeatable cucumber of snooker, and Dennis Taylor, whom I just adored for his upside down glasses and simple guts. So fecking tense ... final ball of the final frame Taylor took it and I pee'd my pants with excitement and relief (it was a long frame) They played the black back and forth for ever, like pub idiots, till Davis left Taylor with a straight shot.

Such a great memories.

Only just come to this thread but seeing your reference to old classics and having read Reg's posts puts me in mind of an old Morecambe & Wise sketch involving making breakfast. I'll see if I can find the link tomorrow when I get to a computer
