Dicking about making another armboard for the rega rb250.
The goldring mc really doesnât work great with it. So now have a nagaoka mp 200 on which is much better suited

Meeting up tonight with three old school chums who I havenât seen since (I guess) 1987 at the latest.
I know how dysfunctional we were back then. Now weâre at the other end of our lives it will be interesting to see how theyâve turned out.
Iâm sure theyâre also intrigued to see what 40 years did to the curly-haired heavy metal moron.

As a positive, you have all made it this far!
Indeed. This evening is an offshoot of a larger event next month for the whole âclass of 85â.
About 120 boys back then, itâs very sobering the number of us that didnât make it.
All car accidents initially, the usual medical suspects these days.

Well that was excellent. 4 hours of drinking lager and spouting shite. I had forgotten how tall John is.
I was the only non-Oxford guy there

Not sure itâs documented anywhere nor many white papers written on it. Sinking a few jars and spouting shite to a bunch of old friends you havenât seen in a while is one of the greatest boosts you can ever get to your mental health.

There was a fair amount of this but one guy has had the full âI didnât know they could do thatâ medical documentary cancer of his tibia then six months of stretching his leg back out 1mm a day 
This morning my body continues to confirm that âskip meals, just keep drinkingâ is no longer the option it once was.
Thatâs no way to greet visitors to our shores, oh ⌠⌠wait !

Was a bicycle stand in a former life.
Suffering with man flu for the past week and watching the work stack up. Just about see over the worst of this now and nearly caught up.
Got a great boost today as it looks like weâve won a piece of work to help redesign neuromuscular disease services ready to integrate some ground breaking new treatments which will modify the disease and enable children and young adults to walk again. Really wanted this one so feeling like celebrating even though Hel wonât take me anywhere with the lurgy Iâve got.
