    I bought a knock off for 100 baht at a street stall 10 years ago still works fine, only wear it when flying as cheap enough to lose or get robbed but no one wants it, I too had it about 5 years and only as my eyesight started to fail did I remove the plastic cover!

    I did that when I got official decals put on a motorbike from the official Honda dealer.

    After a month they hade turned grey and were bubbling.

    I went back there livid. Pointing and screaming and shouting. Fokin' monkeys this, and fokin' monkeys that.


    Manager: You peeled off the clear plastic covering, right?


    Ed: Fuck.

    Good point!

    Although if you check this link, you'll see that I operated my ham gear to provide emergency radio comms and 'radio-email' for yachts and ships in the Indian Ocean, who were either too far from land-based radio/internet connections, or didn't have or couldn't afford satellite comms systems.

    Sofa? I don't actually possess a sofa! I did buy an office chair last year to save my lower back from pain...

    ????, I'm trying to figure out why you ask!

    Yes, I am left-handed.

    Update: Ah - maybe because I wear that watch on my right wrist.

    People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are more likely to be left-handed than people without ASD. This is part of a larger pattern of atypical handedness, which also includes mixed-handedness.


    Neurodiversity
    The idea that conditions like autism should be viewed as a diversity of brain function, rather than a disorder.


    Atypical handedness
    A higher prevalence of left-handedness, mixed-handedness, or non-right-handedness in people with ASD.

    Brain development
    Genes involved in brain development may link left-handedness and neurodiversity.

    Cerebral structure
    Atypicalities in the cerebral structure and lateralization for language in people with ASD may contribute to atypical handedness.


    Research
    A study found that people with ASD were 2.49 times more likely to be left-handed than people without ASD.
    Another study found that people with ASD were 3.48 times more likely to be left-handed, 2.49 times more likely to be non-right-handed, and 2.34 times more likely to be mixed-handed.

    Well, interesting comments about left-handed people and autism, and I already knew these facts. I'm pretty sure that I have no autism, but it doesn't make any difference even if I have, because I have lived 65+ years without worrying about it, so I'm certainly not going to do anything about it now!

    I ordered a pair of reading glasses yesterday morning.

    On reflection, my eyes are back to normal today.

    ^^ What is it?


    After receiving a useless miniature 2025 wall calendar from Lazada I was talked into buying a Country File wall calendar from the UK (mentioning no names, but it includes the number '44'). For those that don't know, Country File is a great BBC programme about the countryside and farming.

    My order arrived today, but instead of the desired two wall calendars I now have four identical John Craven tea towels.

    I mean, WTF?

    You can never have enough…

    Speaking of calendars, I’ve just noticed this one appear on our Kitchen wall.

    Below a happy birthday banner from last January and above some discarded Xmas wrapping paper.

    Hanging from a thermostat that can’t possibly serve any purpose in this bloody igloo of a house.

    ^ That is exactly the kind of calendar that I'm after (to be honest, it's nice to see a picture of a horse without some yokel standing on an upturned bucket behind, trying to get his end away). I can't believe how difficult it's proving to get one.

    Anyway, a Happy Birthday banner from last January? I'm thinking it must be your Birthday again this January, Dirk?

    Happy Birthday!

    Haha I can see that might be a problem South of the Border.

    Not my birthday, the landlord’s daughter packed the place out for her 18th Birthday.

    So I guess most her friends will be over 18 by the time they come around for her 19th.

    Don’t tell Eddie…
