Macca I chatted to Dave C about it and we concluded that it would be based on respect for the bar. Thank you for an excellent and timely reminder. It's good to have confirmation. Fat Pete is on the case. | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17865 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Day off today as I have to have the car serviced. You now book them like dental appointments, they service and wash the car and you get to mooch around drinking coffee and looking at vehicles you can't nor want to afford for a hour and a half or so, then pay a monstrous bill and leave. | ||

It's over in that there Yorkshire, junction 32 of the M62 if memory serves. We'll see. | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17865 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Post Edited: 16.09.2018 @ 14:43 PM by Fatpete Left home shortly before twelve with the intention of going to the usual pub for dinner and then to Castleford to watch Mac lift, the timings were close but I was assuming that "rising bar" would as always delay things so I should get there early. I took the scenic route as usual to the pub which invloves a small portion of M60 and there the signs warned M62 - closed - J22 to J24. Oh dear I thought, the road to Castleford lise along the M62, J18 to J32. Oh dear indeed. The pub was offering home made Steak and kidney puddings and no finer thing has passed these lips in a long, long while. I left at one and the traffic report said that although the motorway was now open, it wasn't fully open and a few million cars were taking their time getting through. I do love Mack, but not that much, mission aborted and head for home. This proved to be rather more complicated than usual, I saw signs of road closures and diversions and remembered that I had previously seen signs about some marathon / iron man type thing that the council use to infuriate motorists was going on. So as I neared the spot I saw a diversion sign and followed it. That was a mistake. Bolton council do the iron man type thing and Wigan council then decide to really piss people off by closing a few more roads for re-marking purposes on the same day. As an extra treat they don't put out diversion signs, only "road closed" ones. In an especially nice touch, they place these signs so close to the work that you can see that the road is closed before you see the now utterly pointless sign telling you that it is. I have never knowingly been to Hart Common before today, but I have now been twice in an hour. Anywoo, home now and the kettle works so all's well that ends well. | ||

I will bow to superior knowledge, it must of been for a different reason then. The fact remains - it was closed, and I will now admit that I do not know why  | ||

When done this way 75 is enough, I doubt if I could have managed any more | ||

Still 20 kilos up on last time, I won't complain at that. Hopefully things should be a bit better next time. Pencil in 210. | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17865 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Last week when I had the car serviced I had some time to kill so I mooched around the showroom and chatted to one of the salesman, something he hinted at started a chain of thought and so I went onto the Mini website to check, it would appear that they no longer make a Mini One Diesel which is precisely the car I have. If you want a diesel you have to go up to the Cooper, if you want a "One" it has to be petrol. I really can't see me shelling out the extra for a Cooper, so a petrol engine will power the next Fatpetemobile. It was a decision that I was wrestling with, diesels are superior in every way for my money but they currently are getting a lot of bad press, it would now appear that it is no longer a decision I have to make. I have driven Diesel for most if not all of this century. I will be very sorry to have to change back. | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17865 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | The delivery of the jerk blocks has made me realize that my hands do not supinate as much as they should. I can only get them to about thirty degrees from level. This made it almost impossible to carry said blocks in a relatively normal manner, so I opted for a relatively abnormal one and managed. The weightlifters did not seem at all concerned by their normal carrying position. However, we had a breakfast afterwards and that was dispatched with alacrity so I remain unbothered by this discovery. | ||
