This is my Dad, sometime in the early sixties. That was the first bike I ever rode on, he took me out on the back across the moors , no helmets or any other bike gear. I suppose I was about 8 years old and I can remember that it frightened me at first but I loved the freedom of it. My dad never got to see me ride a motorcycle as he died when I was 15, I often wonder if he would of approved of my biking.5 points

......of being in existence! As you recall, I only started the show going again cos we were all locked up! I really didn't expect it to last longer than 3 months......I always thought that once everybody got released then that would be it. But I got that wrong didn't I? Like all the other things I've managed to get wrong when it comes to forums. Yes it's true...I've been fucking up forums since 2002. Consistently! So given the past, and looking at the drivel that's posted here now......I'm amazed you're all still here! And why is everybody still as fucking stupid as they were all those years ago? I don't know about you......but some days I look at this place and feel like I want to flounce! We need a Flouncing Floater in our midst I'd say! So.....how are we doing so far? What are we doing right? What are we doing wrong? How are we different to other forums? And most importantly, are we still stuck in the shallow end of the gene pool?4 points

since you asked: If we manage to not turn every thread into the same hijacking repetitive mayhem like a few years ago, it'll continue to be ok. Repetitive trolling is what annoyed me in previous iterations, some days here remind me of that, more of that now than a month or two ago. I am a little bit disappointed that the "emotions" option you use to react to posts or threads sometimes may take away from people actually commenting on something they like. For example; in ride reports, some people sometimes put effort into composing a decent presentation, be it with photos or text. They do that trying to share stuff with others, I think actually reading people's comments is what you should get back from it. I do like that I "know" and have friends in people I haven't actually met, simply from hanging out in the same place with them for decades. If most didn't live in a rain pestered island where people drive on the wrong side of the road I might even visit4 points

I've only had nice cars, I'm almost sorry for it but did make myself look like a twat in a couple of them, though First was my 1986 320i, it had aircon and ABS, and open top, I loved it. It looked amazing with sparkling chrome but I did look like a twat when I threw it backwards into a grass field and then had to beg a farmer to drag it out in the rain. Same as the one below but BRG. It was an attractive car. Then came a Golf TDI, it was pretty great and I loved it, made me look like a twat by going through a corn field in it. No damage but corn bits fell off for a week. Did my first laps of the Nurburgring on it and drove it from Portugal to the Nordkap, that's a proper road trip. My car parked next to a cabin in Norway: Then another Golf TDI, never looked like a twat in that one except by being myself. No pictures of it. By then, I was doing big miles for work, and got my favourite car for driving around the roads on, my 320D touring, I liked that one a lot, with fancy alcantara interior. It was quite fast once mapped. Never crashed it either, drove it from 70 to 320.000km. Here it is in a frosty Germany with my brother in it: Sadly, I sold the 320d before it needed big work and took a great deal on my dad's previous car, a 3 liter diesel. It's been reliable, quite fast but handles like a boat. I look like a twat every time I drive it, but it's comfy. I crashed it twice by my own fault over the last couple of years. Both times approaching the week when Maria passed. One time I was crying and didn't notice an incoming car, the other I fell asleep on the motorway. It's a nice car, though, here it is looking rather poorly: Then there's Maria's car, which is mine for as long as her parents wish it to be, it goes back to them at their will, I'm quite attached to the thing: And, lastly, my 318ti, which I bought to prep and use on the Nurburgring. It's done quite a big number of laps, and was one of the fastest small engined cars around the place when I used to basically live there when not working in Portugal. It's underpowered but quite the weapon back then when the track used to be very technical. I've looked like a twat in it a couple of times, but never more than when I was drifting in the rain and beached it halfway through the Karoussell, it was quite embarrassing and a good laugh specially as the guy I had passed earlier in the lap came past laughing so hard he was probably crying, and clapped4 points

I saw this on Twitter tweeted by Nick Ferrari........one of the fucking idiot announcers on LBC! He was ranting on about the Covid restrictions and said "We didn't close pubs and theatres during the war". An NHS Hospital Doctor replied: "I was unaware that pubs and theatres were a breeding ground for the Luftwaffe".3 points

He's a twat i cant show him nothing without him saying, "I've been here before" its just not right an Englishman showing a Welshman around his own country. If he was on mastermind his specialist subject would be trails of the world3 points

My life would certainly have been different that's for sure. I've spent 41 out of my 66 years married (7 and 34)......plus an additional 4 years living together with the second wife. That's 21 years of freedom.......and for the majority of those I had no pubes!3 points
