Considering it's spring, was bloody freezing where I was this morning.

Give it time.

We'll be sweating in our jocks at 7am soon enough.

Bob Maumill is leaving 6PR at the end of September. From his Facebook:

"I suppose it's no secret now. I will be finishing at 6PR at the end of September. I've had a great run, radio has been good to me. Audiences and managers have put up with my antics. I've met incredible people. But I want to leave before I am asked to.
Lot of young broadcasters ready to have a crack."

I like bob and will miss him - but **** he likes the sound of his own voice and boy can he waffle

 

[Plugger35]

Bob Maumill is one of the best radio presenters I've heard, such a warm funny personality.

He was saying he's had a bad back the past few years which is why he was only doing Sunday mornings rather than weekdays, apparently 6PR were so desperate for him to stay on air they were thinking about allowing him to broadcast from home.

What.a. Magnificent.day

 

[Beerfish]

My body can't get enough of this sun. It's glorious.

I went outside to hang something on the line. Ended up spending half an hour just lying on the lawn playing with the dog.

Only starting at 7? Must be a cooler summer this year

Had dinner at The Dux in Como last night. Quite small but very nice food and reasonably priced.

I hate the sudden torrential downpours. They can GTFO.

Went for a walk by the swan down in east freo today. Glorious except for the people on bikes who aren't content with their own lane on the road and feel the need to ride on the footpath too.

 

[Off The Couch]

The change to the bike rule seems to have made it a little more chaotic - on the road when it's flowing nicely, up on to the path when the lights are red.

Had a near miss with a bike rider the other day. Bike rider in the bike lane on the left side street where stop sign was - me travelling past intersection and indicates to pull in to car bay. They ignore the stop sign and turn left into the path of my car entering the car bay - I copped a serious mouthful for not looking. Was ****ing gob smacked

TBH I don't even know if I was at fault considering they ignored the stop sign or doesn't that apply when there are bike lanes

 

[Beerfish]

If they're on the road they should follow the road rules like everyone else and that means signage too.

When I was 16 I got pulled over for going through a stop sign on my bike and had to attend a road safety lecture.

And that should still happen! Especially to these leotard wearing tour de france wannabes.

Also, I was speaking to someone recently who was a native Perthite like me and he had no idea this was under the Stirling Bridge. Just curious how many here hadn't seen it/didn't know about it?

Where is Stirling bridge
