    If in doubt, have a good shout.
    Performance a groan, time for a moan.
    Generation is pants, let rip with a rant.

    Back home from a long lunch catchup with friends just as it turned dark - at 3pm in the afternoon! I hope this isn't how 2015 wants to carry on!

    Generation today is barely worth a mention at 0.15 O's! (600 Watts!)
