Right here, right now. The B’stard Bike from hell is back on the road and dirt. Best I don’t take it to meet up with @XTreme on Sunday.

Bit of a cold one in work today discovered the van is shit in the snow this morning

Just had a look at the MOT and just noticed last years MOT had exactly the same advisories as this year i just didn't read it

It's starting to melt now but we're due for another lot this afternoon

My Sanctuary...

Amazing what ideas they come up with..................to fleece the motorists.

The Internet may be for porn, but social media has also made it exceptionally good for promoting wackadoo theories and linking the far-flung people who believe them. This is hardly news at this point, but Weill outlines how Facebook’s and YouTube’s algorithms very, very rapidly funneled viewers toward extreme, incendiary, radicalizing content. It’s done just so viewers will stay online longer and so Facebook and YouTube would rake in the resultant ad revenue. “Flat Earth was algorithm gold,” Weill notes. Even Globe Earthers (in case you were wondering what the opposite of Flat Earthers are called) made Flat Earth videos as a sure way to make a quick buck. (In January 2019, YouTube changed its algorithm, so watching a NASA video no longer automatically leads you to a Flat Earth video as it used to.) Then, against the backdrop of the president of the United States spouting conspiracy theories daily, the pandemic locked everyone at home glued to their screens all day as their only connection to the (very troubling and scary) world outside. It was at this point that Facebook exposed unprecedented numbers of lonely, isolated, vulnerable people to conspiracy theories online. And unprecedented numbers believed. “Conspiratorial thinking is not a weird pathology,” Weill writes. Our brains’ propensity for seeing patterns even when there are none and creating narratives to explain events we find hard to understand means that many people are susceptible. Constantly bombarding people with misinformation feeds into this tendency. Cult leaders know this; totalitarian regimes know it, too. And as Weill delved into this ultimate case study of fringe subcultures to learn how people can believe strange things, she said what she ended up learning is that “people can believe anything they want to.”

Hopefully Mandy will be in a better mood tonight than she was last night! She had a right moody on! Seems that she's trying to overturn some decisions that were made before she was in post, which most people seem to agree with her, but the decisions were made by a committee and it seems that she can't overturn them unless she reconvenes the committee and gets their agreement. Her boss wants the decisions implemented quickly, but trying to get the original committee together is like herding cats! She was all for telling them to poke it last night! So, she could be unemployed by tonight!

Well you can tell the sun's rays are getting stronger..we still have mounts of snow ...but hovering just above 0 during the day and sigh of melting are starting to show up...

But flat.

“You call me fat again and I will piss on your boots”.

Don’t start him off again.

just been snowing here too but not sticking and been on a couple of jobs today and freezing my pods off

Snowing here right now, due to be heavy for a few hours then a mixture of rain and snow. I have lucked out this weekend, a dry run to Norfolk on Friday with an expectation of snow for the journey back yesterday. I took the chance and had a dry run home as well, the snow only started last night. Weathermen, load of chancers!

Gay.

Maybe you should donate the extra skin on your neck, you multi chinned twat.

Mine too...when they preformed the circumcision they used the left over skin and graffed it to a poor soul who lost a leg ...

They have indeed.

I used to walk with a mate. Derbyshire, Dorset to name a couple. We'd cook on gas stoves, eat in pubs, it was great fun. Not sure these old bones would cope so well now. RIP Ash.

You would think the easier way would be to cap torque on electric cars.

and the sun tans

Who would do such shit ….

I slept in an Opel Astra a few times, and a VWGolf, it’s shit. I did it because I got lost in norway and wasn’t carrying a tent. Also slept a power nap in my racecar a few times, driving through the night, in a race bucket seat, that was properly miserable but not as miserable as when a passenger in my brother’s car, that made me want to stop living. On a bike in winter I like hotels with hot shower, a cozy quiet bed after a warm meal and wine. Covered shelter for the bike is advised but not mandatory

The logical reason is getting away from everyone to get a break from the mundane life most people have, i bet your boy would love to do something like this if the fat munter would let him if anyone needs it it's him

My dick is huge.

I like it mate, the higher screen looks so much nicer. That looks a tad fresh…….I don’t do cold anymore

Yep, that is just a small part of the article. I deserve a medal for reading the whole thing .............

apparently so .... in the Bristol area, every where else it settles

snow can pitch on the ground

Yum Yum!.

You know your Chinkies Clive!

Only 2c here, just a grey sky...... Fingers crossed that we don't get any snow......Want granddaughters CBT to go ahead tomorrow.

Tis raining here, 8.5 degrees C so to warm. for snow.

Looking very nice here......particularly the weekend! Sunday I'm due to see @Skippy in Almeria province......hopefully he can refrain from fucking up his bike and his jacket this time!

That looks terrible, time for a new hip.

Snowing here , luckily it's not pitching on the roads.

Scottish Motorcycle Show this weekend, I think I will go on Saturday. Its been years since I have been to a Motorcycle show.

And behind the radiator. The older ones are below the cylinders on the front of the engine, crank driven and behind a cover that is directly in airflow. It will be interesting to see if this turns out to be this engine designs weakness.

The Citroen has gone through 5 tests first time since we've had it.......so let's see what happens this time.

to be fair that does resemble my great grandma
