Yesterday Today

Sunrise in the garden this morning

Wot you on about, they’re not woke lovies names they’re the choices of trailer trash.

Slept like a lg last night and no pain killers or cider were involved

Yes, but have you met any van trash

It made me chuckle. We’ve got a bike with a dent on the tank in here so we stuck a post-it note on it which says ‘this tank identifies as straight’

If my wife falls over during the night she will have to wait till I wake up for help......

My clinician is running an out of hours clinic tonight. Had several in, including three kids at different times, A Braxton, a Jaxxson and a Tigger. WTF is wrong with their parents those poor kids are going to have to live with those names until they are old enough to change them. Perhaps its me with the 1 am grumps but I do wonder about people.

They just keep people obsessing about the invaders crossing the Channel so they don't notice that the country's assets are being plundered and sold off!

The biggest problems with that country at the moment are caused by politicians screwing the general population and the swathes of the population who shunned education, enabling those politicians. Aided and abetted by those who have swallowed the "woke" rhetoric. Anyway, I nearly spat my beer out in a pub garden years back when a couple were calling their son over: "Tarquin, Tarqhin, come here, we are leaving"!

Rude

You’d know …

I now have visions of someone laying on the carpet after a fall looking at the pull cords thinking “bugger”

I refer to my granddaughters as GD1 and GD2 when speaking with anyone other than their parents, I can't use their given names seriously. I believe that a child's name should be chosen the same way as you do for a pet dog. Would you be okay to shout it out loudly in a public place if they run off? If you would it's fine.

Flat out today and probably the rest of the week. Not looking forward to it much but still glad I mostly frittered the weekend away enjoying it. Not riding your bike for any length of time is a slow torture and then when you do the happiness top up is of the charts

thats the woke lovies for you and the cause of what is wrong with this country nowadays .

So that’s what happened!

Was having a dilemma about which bike to take, the 9T and the Bandit have both been idol too long for my liking and I’m imagining fluids congealing and stuff clogging up so I want to ride them both- insert own joke about getting your pipes cleaned here Mr Slowly offers to ride the Bandit so long as I don’t “piss off overtaking things” until he’s familiarised himself with it. Fair enough. A sedatish ride in the chilly sun. Pulled over specifically to get a shot for you keepeeon bastards. Rumwells Farm Shop and Cafe. Have driven/ridden past it many many times but it never appealed so I never went in but I googled best cafe near Taunton and there it is with rave reviews and an apparent love of doughnuts. 100’s a week they make. Put your order in by 12 the day before and they make them fresh that morning for collection or you can wing it and see what bakes are available. After taking my gloves off twice to take photos they’re now icey (see how I suffer for you ) Rumwells are fully booked, outside seating only for a cup of tea/handwarmer. Mr Slowly has an iced bun that’s so nice he starts smiling (and you lot know codgers don’t smile) so it must of been goooood. Then one last car park photo (especially for @Pedro) and home. Forgot how much fun the 9T is so we rode back the same way agreeing to enjoy our own pace, except by now Mr Slowly is clearly ‘familiar’ with my bike and suddenly I’m playing catch up Stopped at my Pops house on the way home with surprise doughnuts. Muchos happiness, his daughter, doughnuts, a motorbike to look at and I wasn’t stopping- his favourite type of human contact! Back home for Mr Slowlys shepherds pie (excellent) and doughnuts. Bonus, Rumwells have a dedicated gluten free kitchen (unheard of) and I’m made up to have my first doughnut in over 15 years! Bit too sweet aren’t they! Went to the Triumph garage to get you some pics but it was closed. Next time

Yes, people are alright in their place, just not where I want to go and look at stuff. Whilst trying to look at the secret agent gadgets in a museum in Maldon a few years ago, 3 little shit bags were running about and making so much noise behind me, I wished the nearby bayonets weren't safely locked away. This was when I got that picture of the MI5 'bum key holder'.

I was trying to get the same photo driving around Llyn Clywedog this morning but just couldn't find a good spot to stop when I had a good view. cracking sunrise this morning

Happens all the time. You’re not going to conveniently fall next to a pull cord so folk get the ‘Help’ pendant to wear round their neck so if they fall they can summon help easily… and then never wear them

True I’ve met a fair amount of trailer trash in my time, I’m too polite to name names..

Our next door neighbour was the oldest in these bungalows, she was 87 years old. Seemed a proper dragon till we got to know her

Good stuff, it’s great that you’re left by yourself to enjoy the place. People often ruin the experience.

no but you can see where they have been

I fitted a mousse in a front tyre for one of the TRF guys yesterday, fuck me it was hard, took the both of us to get it in, bloody tyre felt like it had about 30 PSI in after we fitted it , im still not convinced it was the correct size even though he said it was. Now you'd sleep after fitting that one LOL

There were even tube trains here, including some I went on as a child, they ran them for so long.

There were no areas they were ashamed to represent. An Essex wagon. Designed for the absolute shit state the clay roads get in during the winter.

Absolutely......tremendous hand speed!

Adam Azim , fighting Saturday.... this fella will be a champion .

I once was the first person into the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao, there’s this big exhibit in a giant room where you walk amongst some huge metal sheets signifying life and perspective and all sorts of feelings, and it was great to feel lost for an hour in there. When at the end of my visit I decided to pop back in to that room a group of spanish women had just walked in there and were clearly enjoying it very much, noisy as only older spanish ladies can be, it just wasn’t the same!

EARLY WARNING SIGNS OF FASCISM Powerful and continuing nationalism Disdain for human rights Identification of enemies as a unifying cause Rampant sexism Controlled mass media Obsession with national security Religion and government intertwined Corporate power protected Labor power suppressed Disdain for intellectual and the arts Obsession with crime and punishment Rampant cronyism and corruption Pretty much all those boxes ticked.

not wrong Bob

The spoilsport Yanks just shot it down .............. What say you @Tym ?

I had Allspeeds and Boyesen reeds on my RD250DX , I also had 20mpg

There's no flys on you Lionel

In all honesty I would prefer Allspeeds to Microns. On an Air Cooled RD400F.

Todays excellent result - Was on the verge of committing to buying an expensive oven a few weeks ago but some of the reviews were damning so I held off until I had time to look into it further. In the mean time I called domestic and general to try and get the old one fixed. The oven has been insured with them for over 20years (it came free with the oven and continued at £7 a month - I've had my monies worth). They can't fix it, there are no longer spares. Got an email this evening as they cant fix it would I like a replacement free of charge?!! Bloody hell I don't remember reading that in the small print. The oven offered for free is a £700 range and has mixed reviews so not my cup of tea but they offer upgrades of three different SMEGs and a Rangemaster all with excellent reviews and discounted by 700-800 quid! Can't believe it, I don't pay for insurance generally because I almost never claim and when I have they always squirm out of their obligations. Whoop whoop.
