Two blissful, wonderful weeks before the horrors of British Summertime begin and the entire nation can pretend it's an hour farther on than it actually is. For a country that can only tell the time for half of the year I think Brexit was a big ask.

There were just the three of us tonight, Haydn for the weightlifters, myself for the powerlifters and ju-jitsu guy for the rest. Some interesting conversation, concerning all manner of things and including that the earth travels at around 67,000 mph and that "We buy any car" dot com can solve a lot of problems assuming that you have the right kind of problem for them to solve.

Day off tomorrow, the boiler man cometh, hopefully between 8 am and 1 pm. Is that life on the edge or what ?

I know you are a man who likes to be precise, so you should mention what that is relative to, in this case as I'm sure you know it's the sun. Our own solar system, and everything in it is also spinning around the Milky Way at around 448,000 mph, and the Milky Way in turn is moving through space at a ridiculous speed.

As for a frame of reference that everything could be measured by, instead of just relative to each other, it seems that the Cosmic Background Radiation is a reasonable thing to do it by. Relative to the CBR we are apparently traveling at around 390 kilometers per second, or 872405 mph.

This is quite a thing to remember on those days when you feel you are stuck in a rut, etc.

I had a poorly child that kept me away.

Mack was feeling a bit rundown and was also victim of a flat tyre so decided to rest.

I will also be missing on Wednesday as am in Newcastle interviewing prospective promotees (which i suspect will be painful and quite possibly fruitless)

Back in on Friday!!

Thank you for that Bim, I am impressed that you know these things. Cosmic Background Radiation is something I have never heard of, research will be done.

And here was me thinking that I had travelled little in my life

I knew about Mack as he had texted Haydn. Dave is pre-comp resting as is Jamie. Everyone had their reasons(even I missed last Friday), but it is a rare thing for there to have been so few.

It is six years since Alan left us tomorrow, so I will have a quiet sit and a think and a remember, and then I will crack on.

Joe should be with us tomorrow, but I have heard that before

Anyhoo, the boiler man has been, he arrived just after eight, did boiler man things and left about half nine. I have taken it easy from then till now, and after I am finished on here, I will continue to do so. Even though I say it myself, I have quite a talent for not doing much.

I don’t know if the video mentions it, but while you may not have heard of it, you have certainly seen it. In the old days of TV static on dead channels, about 1% of it (from possibly faulty memory) was CBR.

No problem Pete, I did have to look up the numbers Happy. I remember the first time I heard about CBR, the discovery of it is quite interesting and involves pigeons:
