Nope,disagree. I think it'd be magic. So funny.
H.Clinton is a seriously crooked sadistic warmonger so at least you'd get a laugh at Trump. The inside stories behind his golf course in Aberdoom are funny as well.
That's enough politics though.

Going past "Paddock View" again yesterday.
There are also a couple of pig shelters there and it really is not a nice view at all.
Better than looking out onto the M3 though
Think there are chickens, a horse or two and pigs. Is it safe to mix them up ?

Horse meat can sometimes be a little chewy, but it sounds like the basis for a fine mixed grill to me!

Just walked into the Wan Chai computer centre in Hong Kong and asked for a cheap 12v 5a SMPS for a Mini-T amp. The guy said $300 HKD (£27.00) I repeated the price quizzically, he said yes 300, very good quality. I laughed and walked out. WTF and you had to buy a kettle lead to go with it too, as it was just the power supply!

HK not as cheap as it used to be, then?
I found Akihabara in Tokyo the same, full of magical goodies but not cheap.

Off to ride bikes at Innerleithen today at trails called golfie - because they're next to the golf course. The golf course hate mountain bikers(think we lower the tone) so you can't park near there and you are expected to behave.
My pal sees the golf course and like a dog chasing a stick simply cannot help himself,goes riding off at fast pace and jumps the stream - not once but twice.
Utterly priceless.
If you were there.

HK not as cheap as it used to be, then? Nope, but when I first came here you got 18 HKD to the pound, now it's only 10 or 11. Nearly 8 quid for a pint of beer and I went to an average burger bar last night, had a plain burger, fries, onion rings and a small beer, £22.00! It was a good burger mind you, but that's expensive. It's the most visited city in the world apparently and becoming one of the most expensive too. |

Golf. A big joke anyway. They have ideas well above their station. Good on your mate |

The irony is you can buy the same power supplies on eBay from Hong Kong with free shipping for under a tenner!

Sorted, found an electronics store not far from me today and got a Mini-T power supply (12v 5A) for 45 RMB (£4.75), a bit better than $300 HKD! So I'll have real music tonight with my new MA Bronze 2 speakers and HRT DAC |

A "London Underground" van overtook me.
What was it doing in Surrey, Virginia Water miles from the nearest underground station ?

Got into work this morning to Sixth Form pranks. The entire staff room has been moved outside (making it light and airy and improving on the stuffiness). There are balloons and loo roll everywhere and I particularly like the innovative paddling pool full of water blocking the entire corridor (and the way to my office)!
