Damn!
A third puncture since June, and this time it annoys me significantly more, because on the cycle route some thoughtful lad decided to devote a fair few minutes to laying a pack of drawing pins, upright of course, and slightly submerged in the sandier parts. As I reached the suburban roads, I heard a very regular tik-tik-tik...and it was only when I got home, 5 minutes later, that I realised I had a golden drawing pin smiling at me. Mozzy pin maybe.
But even now, the tyre is fine, but the whoosh of air as I pulled out this pin is not on...however, the local cycle shop know me pretty well now.
It brought back visions of Stanley pulling something similar out of Ollie's car, blowing his hat off. My hands held outwards and upwards to the sky was my instinctive and immediate, unconscious Stanley impersonation!

On the radio just now they were going through THEIR most annoying songs, and one that was selected was "Together in Electric Dreams" by Giorgio Moroder and Phil Oakley...without wishing to give my opinion on that hit, ( ~^,^~ ) it is one of those tunes that sticks around like a wasp...however hard you sweep the mind's floor, or swat the irritation, the tune touches down again and again and again.
Have you got any songs that immediately shut-down the brain?
Songs which you hate so much they intensify while in your mind?
Those songs that enter the head, and just will not go away, however hard you try?
Tunes that feed on thought, halt work and reduce you to standstill, like admiring a great tree in the evening, and as you get closer, find yourself amidst a cloud of flies that take to you instantly...or worse, a bluebottle falling into your coffee...(worse on TWO fronts that one!)
