    I didn’t say who – but I

    I didn’t say who – but I guess the chances of Halfords checking the pressure/ knowing how to use a pump are remote. But if they repair cars there’s always the chance some klutz put the air line on it. 

    I know it’s a PITA, but do you not need to pay them a visit?

    Is this where the (amusing and fun) thread drift started?  Thing is, every guy under 30 now sports some kind of beard – it’s not exceptional .

    Many Boomers had them and still do now in white, Gen X it was largely a no (traps the foam in your cappuccino), whereas millennials, they’re back – them with their quiet quitting and all.

    That’s on account of the fact

    That’s on account of the fact that a bike travelling at 8 mph emits the same amount of CO2 as a Range Rover Discovery (driverless of course).

    No, no, no, if you’re going

    No, no, no, if you’re going to quote Roger Moore Bond to me, you had better be ready for the obscure references. 

    One of the nicest things my mum did [sniff] was take me to the cinema to see such delights as Moonraker, The Spy Who Loved Me, Star Wars, Superman, and Capricorn One.

    Something very 2022 about the

    Something very 2022 about the power cuts: 

    Charles Raymond – responsible for the colour artwork – came to the rescue. He volunteered to do the modelling himself, with his German wife, Edeltraud.

    Chris Foss, who was responsible for the book’s black-and-white illustrations, took the photos. The book’s author, Dr Alex Comfort, had given them dozens of positions to get though, and all were done for real over two hectic days in early 1972.

    The miners were on strike and they had only limited light to work with before the power cuts would plunge them into darkness.

    “We’d say: ‘Charlie, we’ve only got another 20 minutes,'” recalls Mr Foss. “And he’d say: ‘Oh I’m terribly sorry’ and he’d go off to prepare himself to perform again, and Edeltraud would go: ‘Charles, Charles, please, please come on, we only have 10 minutes, please two more positions.’

    Disappearing attacking dog

    Disappearing attacking dog passage – solved. Received the 1983 edition today. It was back in by 1989. 

    Much curtailed section: 

    What about an actual attack in which you are being bitten and savaged?
    Unfortunately, my publishers will not allow me to explain in detail some of the methods for defending yourself. Dog lovers have threatened legal action on the grounds of prevention of cruelty to animals. These are not people who have had to spend a month picking bits of gravel out of their legs and face because a dog knocked them off a bike. They have not had to undergo the long and extremely painful series of rabies shots which are mandatory if you are bitten outside Britain and the dog gets away. They do not have anything useful to say about the little girl who lived down the road from my parents’ place and who was pulled down by three dogs and torn to bits.
    So be it.
