Nothing In Particular

I had my letter confirming the "old gits" winter fuel payment delivered yesterday.

Mike what oil did you order and who from? Seems unbranded so you could have any cheap oil in there....I use Opieoil for orders

Silkolene Super 4 from Opie Oils. Says on the box, the bag-in-a-box thing is for reducing plastic pollution. Oh-kay, the bag is thinner than a plastic bottle, so, I guess, if they say so.

Implies we're going to be seeing more of this style of packaging.

cynic mode on

to me (maybe not others)there is a distinct correlation between milk and motor oil.
Milk used to come in glass bottle..100% recyclable.
Motor oil used to come in a one gallon steel can...100% recyclable(give or take).

now both come in plastic bottles....off to hell in a hand cart

I'll hazard a guess re milk bottles, so little darlings can't break them and cut themselves.

Tins for oil, dunno.

But on that item, just so happens the two lots of (different) oil I've got for the Bantam are in 1 litre tins! By Millers Oils. Yay.

Brilliant thank you.

One-upmanship large.

Thanks to Youtube's algorithms -
There are few things as insane as the IOM Senior race, but here is one that compares :

If it weren't for that horrible noise I'd have fallen asleep. As it was I gave up watching about half way round. How pointless and stupid.... Imho.

The fastest lap on the Nordschleife , in any class of vehicle (including EVs) is highly prized in advertising terms.

Because of the number of bends, and the cambers, only drivers with vast experience of the circuit can do well there.

It is open to the public (for a fee) regularly.

A lap (or two) of the Nordschleife is on my bucket list.

That was a lot of fun. The comments are great too.

Looks like we might have some snow here on Friday.

Must dig my Damart thermals out.

I put my long-coms on to do a bit of tidying up in the shed, still wearing them! (And a Serape) Looks like rest of the week will be the same

PS: Google doesn't know what 'long-coms' is.

Probably "combinations" or "long-johns", probably unknown to the younger generation.
