Well, it had been a few years without a bike but I eventual decided to get riding again albeit a bit more sedated as I could never seem to act my age on road bikes and we all know how that ends, been there done that, don't want to spend another two months in a wheelchair So a scooter it was in the hopes of limiting my own twatish behaviour I was getting a bit nervous riding the scoot, loving it but it was a bit odd in it's road manners, low speed bends/corners in particular the bike would step out on the rear causing butt fluctuations and a need for clean underpants on occasion after a while (500 miles ish) I thought I'd best have a closer look to see what's happening, the rear tyre had plenty of it's tread, I'd got rid of the chicken strips nicely, I did my normal tyre pressure test with my thumbs and all was fine Still stepping out on roundabouts and bends, so I put a shout out on a scoot group on facefook and it was suggested the tyre pressure might be low, surely not I tested it the same way I always tested my dirt/trail bikes with my ultra reliable thumbs As it happens when I put a pressure gauge on it there was only 6.5psi in the rear and 24psi in the front, whooops, fucking twat, I'd been gunning that round big fast bends and ridden around 500 miles including all the way to Aberystwyth and back. Well what a difference now, I'm even more impressed with the scoot, frankly for the roads I ride there's no need for anything more, I don't do two up riding, I don't do motorways or dual carriageways or at least I avoid them as best I can and stick to smaller A and B roads It now sticks to the tarmac like shit to a blanket or in this case shit to my undercaks with a 6.5psi tyre pressure So the moral of the story is don't be a cunt, scoot tyres are much stubbier and thicker and thumbs don't work7 points

When i was first diagnosed as being diabetic i gave the wife a row for leaving sweats and shit where i could find them as i have no will power at all and will scoff the lot. So i thought she had stopped buying them as i'd not seen or been able to find anything for a long time, that was until i went somewhere i very rarely go near, the fucking washing machine, it was full and not with laundry6 points

Mum said none of you updated the camera, now shes sure i get everything! lol Camera fogged up bad and its hard to fix that while underwater. Bridge traffic was light. Wind and tide took me right out. pic on island with blured sunshine hiding the nuke plant, cool..lol Let free Captain Turkey, he plays to the underwater crowd now. What you see floating. Took a break on a deserted beach, breakfast for mermiads if you cant find a lactating whale, we'll settle for this. Pondering the next adventure. Thats waterford island in the background.5 points

My pressure gauge was free on a motorcycle magazine that I bought in a Greek airport about 12 years ago . It still works perfectly and I've never had to change the battery, it was the best 3 euros I've ever spent. My thumbs have been redundant for over 12 years now4 points

Elveden near Thetford. It's my middle childs birthday on the 14th and thought it would be a good idea to holiday together. Which is fine till I learned the destination. I can see I'll be doing lots of walking while they indulge the pool etc.4 points

Menu choices have become very restricted since Mandy has been diagnosed with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and she's (we're) on a diet! My cooking has had to become a bit more "experimental"!3 points

I noticed the savvy parents found their way into the pool area remaining fully clothed and sat drinking beer n reading while us less than sensible ones got whacked in the face by sheets of water and the limbs of squealing children Bicycle hire is a good move but you might want to face the inevitable now and book up early cos the seasoned parents have all the good shit (and bicycles) booked up long before they arrive!3 points

Which centre? Its like going on holiday to your local council run sports centre, rubbish food and overpriced activities. Took mine three times under duress because thats where their school friends were going. Only thing I can say thats helpful is take flip flops for the pool showers because the changing rooms have that slippery slime on them that you cant bear to wipe on your towel and who wants wet verruca sludge on their feet Good luck2 points

Spent the weekend at The Aviator in Sywell. I’m a bit of a sucker for time pieces and its an old art deco officers mess that was so well looked after they kept the original Art Deco fixtures n fittings and turned it into a hotel. Its still a working airfield and has a museum attached (shut this morning so cant tell you what thats like). I loved the old furniture and architecture. After a lovely ride in the sunshine across the Cotswolds it was a great place to stop. The food menu does not do the place justice at all, it was well executed but very basic pub menu (gammon egg n chips, burger n chips etc etc) but they said they had to pull the menu right back because just like other hotels they cant find staff and have to keep it as simple as possible. Cheaper than most premier inns but much much more interesting. https://www.aviatorhotel.co.uk/2 points
