There's no shortages here, the fucking press mention there may be a shortage of delivery drivers but there's no reason to panic and as usual the thick greedy twats in this country that think of no one but themselves panic and create a big problem out of a slight inconvenience nothing but twats all of them spoilt my ride on my bike today

That bike still looks good Fred Can you remember this one ?

Needed blood taken this morning so had a day off and was going to have a quiet day chilling out, after the doctors i thought i'd add my new bike and the daughters car to my list of tax MOT and insurance due dates and realised the old Africa twin was due its MOT today. Phoned the place i take it and he said he'd fit me in which made me think i could get a ride in after, great that's my day off all planned and i was out after topping up the air in the tyres. Because i don't listen to the news i hadn't a clue why there were long ques at fuel stations as i headed up the valley i only found out off the guy doing the MOT what was happening, i needed fuel but i couldn't remember if i'd reset the trip on last fill up or not and then there was the thought had i syphoned any fuel out to put in one of the other bikes as i sometime do if the bikes been sat there for a while, anyhow i decided to ride and if the opportunity arrived on route i'd fill up but every fuel station i passed was heaving with dipshits panic buying so i kept going, after a while i was getting pissed off with not being sure of how much fuel is in the tank and its not the kind of tank you can see in without a torch so decided to head home i hadn't hit reserve yet so i was ok to get home on what the bike holds in reserve. On the way back i decided to take the old girl over Eglwysilan mountain i was going to stop to look at the view but there was an eerie fog rolling in so took a quick couple of photos and headed home. When i got home i got the torch out to look in the tank as i couldn't hear anything slopping about when i shook it, to my surprise there was nothing in there i'd left the bike on reserve last time i was out and forgotten about it another few miles and i'd have been walking

This is my favorite quote of the day

Retirement party tomorrow, if we can find a venue (Company owner was going to use the rec center at his new digs, but that just fell thru!). Then, either play in the dirt again on Sunday, or spend some time readying the RR for track day on Monday!

People trying to get fuel today was like this

you would

Today's delight was king prawns baked rice. My picture doesn't do it justice, was delicious!

Exactly this place is full of fucking morons and i'm not just talking about Motorcycle riders forum

Well that was a mission , 4 garages local... all rammed with twats panic buying, probably still got cupboards full of toilet rolls, last garage before i was about to give up, saw a pump empty , gap in traffic coming the other way ..boom i was in , going away early Monday would of just filled up before we set off . Its the media causes all this , just shut up about it, few garages might of run out for a short while waiting for a delivery , if this carries on they all will.

No problem here (yet). Anyway, must dash to top up the car and two bikes and Jerry cans and garden buckets etc etc etc. Fuckwits, all of ‘em.

really .....he's messed about with the photo, this is the original

The vine leaves are just starting to change colour here now.

Lorry drivers............... under valued for years. Despised by the public as they are in the way of their cars as they all charge to the out of town shopping centers. Ask any members of the public how those all important goods get into the shopping centers and they haven't got a clue

I'll be queuing for petrol even though I can't ride my bikes

Okay, if you insist...................

Depends what this does. Pretty good chop now out there in the water, ugh.

seems to me the bike would be useful for expediting deliveries, or pick-ups

For me it used to be April. Every year in March my boss would ask me what I needed for the Lab , the fecker never let me buy a new bike though

I won't be queueing for petrol this weekend. I will mainly be doing bugger all........again! I may squeeze in a bit more beach action, but that depends on the forecast. Tomorrow is forecast rain and thunderstorms, but Sunday doesn't look too bad at the moment.

I may be missing something here......but my understanding is that the UK Gov has literally said that Covid is over! Hence no masks, no restrictions, no furlough, no additional universal credit, etc. Then they say the food, medicines, gas, fuel, and worker shortages are all due to Covid?

Just saw news report that there are long queues at all petrol stations......while stocks last! I don't suppose it helped that the Transport Minister issued a statement that said "Don't Panic!"

Yep......Covid went on a seek and destroy mission to eradicate all delivery drivers from the country! It's a cunning little fucker for sure!

Still nursing my sciatica. Over to friends tonight for a couple of beers and a Chinese takeaway.

Perhaps it was an optional extra, sort of designer patina thing.

The waste is the best bit, I don't just do it for the money and causing traffic jams, that's just the cream on the cake. Going down there today hopefully, got to think about drainage, it's flat as a witches tit everywhere there and a large puddle when I've finished will make me look like a right dickydoodah. The bloke who is doing another area up the road told me last night he's off at the end of next week. He was agency and interviewed for my job but didn't get it when he should have (two posts the same, not actually my own job) and they told him they couldn't guarantee to keep him on after March as agency. So he's off to Croydon for a longer term engagement and you can't blame him. I despair sometimes, we have lost a lot of people over the years we should have hung on to because HR dick about. Now we'll either get someone hopeless who needs to have it explained all over again or I'll be doing that one as well plus all the other stuff he was covering.

Looks a crappy one for me.....I've got to travel to Venta del Peral tomorrow to meet a new client! So that's the best part of the day tied up with work. Hopefully be OK for Sunday unless there's a drastic change in the weather! What are you perverts, deviants, losers, and casuals up to?

Nothing quite like that @XTreme put that photo up not long ago, perhaps it's in his wank bank

@Grasshopper's Ride for some reason @boboneleg had this photo to hand maybe it was in his wank bank

The answer to why "Black Sheep of the Family" resulted in Rainbow forming was that Blackmore has always loved that song. He wanted Purple to record it around the time they were recording "Stormbringer". The other members said "no" so Blackmore (who's always got to have his own way) left Purple to form Rainbow! And the version of it that you heard above with Dio was the first thing they recorded. And he recorded it again in 2019 with Ronnie Romero on vocals.....and it was more in keeping with the original.

I did a one year stint at the Anchorage, Alaska Water Utility. Great group of people to work for (in the design section). Obviously focused on solving problems and helping people. Management, on the other hand? Their biggest contribution each year was figuring out where to throw the excess cash before June 1st, or their budget would shrink the next year.

Oopppss!

I got tired just reading that

Well, when you close the A&E department and downgrade local hospitals to centralise the service it's only a matter of time before this happens! Coupled with the fact that people are rocking up at A&E because they can't get a GP appointment, you've got the perfect storm!

Bugger!!!!.....can't drive any longer cos of my condition. Cant work in the field as I have a glass back.

Saw reports today that some firms are now offering 78K a year! And fruit pickers 30 quid an hour!

I can't see any of those in my albums above but I'll give it a go. My musical tastes go far and wide, I'm not stuck in one genre in the 1970's

I have three quarters of a tank of petrol, so am ok for the next two weeks.

The Raptor nicked his bike …

Trump won.

I expect they same people who are buying petrol are stocking up with toilet rolls too.

Jitter Music (whatever that is) is beyond your comprehension Bob. Stick to your Bucks Fizz, Bay City Rollers teenybop shit!

If Yamaha ask for it back I'm going to look a bit of a numpty giving back a new tank plus it was much easier to paint the new one , much less prep involved so quite a lot cheaper.

He looks like Julian Clary and Susan Boyles love child that has been involved in a serious house fire .

I pretend to be a Civil Engineer. Our company's specialty is private development, mostly. Subdivisions, commercial and industrial buildings. churches, schools, hospitals, ranches. we just try to stay away from public sector work as it is a drag on your spirit. The waste in public agencies would/should drive a normal person crazy!!

It’ll probably be December before I could contribute
