My first run since 2017: 10½ weeks or 2½ months plus I know I’ve put on shedloads of weight since the start of the year.
I got a bit lost trying to navigate the junctions and subways near the hotel and it was getting dark, cold and drizzling, so I cut it shorter than planned.
Other people taking advantage of the good weather over the weekend included, I’m told, my ex-girlfriend’s ex-husband who was getting remarried in Derby. I represented her successfully in Court as her McKenzie Friend against him but who knows after all the lies she told me how much of her case was fabricated?
Anyway, I wish the happy couple well for their future together; I understand they may be trying to move away due to what they felt was ongoing harassment by the ex.
I was also told that my ex-girlfriend’s eldest daughter was a bridesmaid. It’s good that – having been thrown out of her home before she’d even turned sixteen, so I was told, because she didn’t get on with the new boyfriend – she’s building a relationship with the parent who may actually care about her.
Funny how things turn out…
Now we all know that the so-called Safety Camera Partnerships are staffed by wannabe policemen – probably those who failed the entry requirements – with no sense of humour and limited social skills. After all, who else but loners with voyeuristic tendancies would want to spend their days in the back of a van peeping through a zoom lens at people? On sunny days only, of course, because that’s when their tally of tickets is likely to be highest and after all points (and more particularly fines) make prizes for these sorts of people.
But for a complete lack of humour and for the best “think of the children!” moment of the week, this news story and the quote from the (no doubt)Â polyester-suited, greasy loser wins the prize:
Jeremy Forsberg, of the Northumbria Safer Roads Initiative, said: “This behaviour is simply ridiculous – it’s clear what he was thinking with what he had on show.
“Not only is it disrespectful, but distasteful and offensive, particularly to children who may have been exposed to this nonsense.
“This prank could have been a real distraction from the driver and that is not something to laugh about.”
Maybe not, but you are, Jeremy! What a puritanical jobsworth he sounds!
A bit cold and wet to start off with, but Sunday saw me heading down to the Ace Café London for Kawasaki Day.

I’ve been enjoying the latest series of “The IT Crowd“.
But one of the geek in-jokes I’ve been picking up on is Roy’s T-shirts: this week’s one simply said “meh.”
