How to fold the piece of plastic a thread the wire to make a toy windmill. I did loads of them for a school fête a LONG time ago.
What skill did you master that you will never, ever use again?
Summer of '95 I had a job assembling single-use film cameras, which I did enough that I can still perform the actions. I don't think they even sell them anymore, but even if they do I'm certainly never going to be making them again!

In the summer of ‘88, I had a job where I installed cell phones into cars. No one has needed that skill in over 30 years.

After a very long day yesterday, thanks to a well-known airline, I feel remarkably refreshed this morning. Then again, there's nothing like a night in your own bed.

I could drink rather too much Gluhwein at German prices. It's such a rip-off in Britain.

For a moment, I thought I'd lost the Injured Jockeys' Fund bauble, but it has now turned up in the old suitcase in the loft, the only acceptable storage for Christmas decorations.

It had escaped me that the Tote has now become Britbet at the ARC courses as of the 1st November. At least they got their new signage up in time here at Lingfield Park.
