    I've been to Lodi in California (not been on the railroad tracks though!) Had to stop and get a pic by the sign as this is one of my favourite CCR songs ....

    @Archers Road

    I’m in your neck of the woods I think at the moment. Let me know if you’re close enough to the centre of North Finchley and fancy a socially distanced coffee (or beer). Just moving my daughter’s stuff into a flat and will be looking to hide once the wife starts building the flat pack furniture!!

    Joe had headaches.

    The doctor said, “Joe, the good news is I can cure your headaches. The bad news is that it will require castration.

    You have a very rare condition which causes your testicles to press on your spine, and the pressure creates one hell of a headache.” The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles.

    Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live for. He had no choice but to go under the knife.

    When he left the hospital, he was without a headache for the first time in 20 years, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself. As he walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life.

    He saw a men’s clothing store and thought, “That’s what I need… A new suit.” He entered the shop and told the salesman, “I’d like a new suit.”

    The elderly tailor eyed him briefly and said,

    “Let’s see…size 44 long.”

    Joe laughed, “That’s right, how did you know?”

    ‘Been in the business 60 years!’ the tailor replied.

    Joe tried on the suit; it fitted perfectly.
    As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, “How about a new shirt?”

    Joe thought for a moment and then said, “Sure.”

    The salesman eyed Joe and said,
    “Let’s see, 34 sleeves and 16-1/2 neck.”

    Joe was surprised, “That’s right, how did you know?”
    “Been in the business 60 years.”

    Joe tried on the shirt, and it fitted perfectly.

    Joe walked comfortably around the shop, and the salesman asked, “How about some new underwear?”

    Joe thought for a moment and said, “Sure.”

    The salesman said, “Let’s see… size 36.”

    Joe laughed, “Ah ha! I got you, I’ve worn a size 34 since I was 18 years old.”

    The salesman shook his head,
    “You can’t wear a size 34. A size 34 would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache.”

    New suit – £400
    New shirt – £36
    New underwear – £6
    Second opinion – PRICELESS

    Can anyone help...my Sky has been on and off all day. Anyone else notice this. I know it plays up when the weather is stormy, but hardly that now.

    P.s. for weather buffs. Had bout of heavy rain in Newport today, but very localized...didn't rain in Cowes.

    Log in to your skygo account and watch online. Unfortunately not a lot you can do when the weather affects your dish.

    I hear that Dominic Cummings plans to sue the makers of Spitting Image, when it returns to the screens, on the grounds that Boris Johnson and the rest of the cabinet are exclusively his puppets.
