    A major conundrum of life....on the scale of where do spare teaspoons and socks go....why do boxes of Xmas cards often have a missing envelope? This has happened all my life and I have never had an extra one. Who is getting them?

    A man was fined £90 for throwing a burger at a police horse.
    The police have released a statement to say that the horse remains in a stable condition. <laugh>

    It's possible I could find a match among all the odd ones I have. Have you got some of mine and if so, how did they get there? I think when we are sleeping the socks make a dash for it hoping to find a new life with less smelly feet. Not that mine smell.....:oops:

    Have you noticed that when you throw away a single sock, the other one turns up immediately.

    I've had my motorcycle shed stolen. Not kidding either. My bike is over wintering in my brother's garage, and some thieves came along and decided they were much more in need of my bike shed than I was. So there you go. Not a lot I can do, as I never saw the going of it. Ho-hum.

    Not really. They wouldn't have been able to nick it with my bike in there. Too cumbersome and far too heavy.

    Well whilst you lot are watching us down Beer tonight, I shall be at the Bowie musical, Lazarus with Fable (it's her Christmas present from me). Not sure what to expect really, but massively looking forward to it.

    Bugger! They're not cheap either. TBH you have to bolt everything down these days, some scamps seem to see nicking some stuff as a challenge. Insured?

    Only ever had one bike stolen, horrible experience. Made worse by the thief 3yrs later letting me know down the pub twas him who'd taken it. He'd done 18months in prison by then, felt he'd been hard done by. Barsteward.

    Most embarrassing was when someone stole my padlock/chain off the bike, but left the bike behind.

    Very sad - one of my top 5 Xmas songs, but I shall get out my vinyl copy of "In the Court of the Crimson King" and play that this afternoon in memoriam .........

    Bloody 2016 - hope it finishes soon ....................

    Oh no! Another teenage favourite of mine gone. I saw him with ELP a few times but he'd left Crimso by the time I saw them for the first time. Here's the original lineup doing what seems the appropriate number:


    RIP Greg Lake, the only bass player ever to need his own 40 foot artic on tour. <rose>
