Car wouldn't start so I had to take the wife over on the bike to feed the horses. She reckoned it was a lot better than what she expected......very smooth and comfortable, with no power band that I can rip into in order to act stupid. She's never forgotten when I scared her to death on the Thundercat back in the 90's. But despite the bike being pretty good, predictably she said it wasn't as nice as Big Bird. However.....Big Bird doesn't get us home! This one will. Incidentally it was the exactly the same time last year that the brakes went on the Beemer outside the horses area! But this is a Honda so no such drama! But there's always a downside! Cos when we got home I found that she'd had horse shit on her boots and it's now smeared all over the pillion footrests! I'm going to have to sell it now.......it'll never be the same again!

Departing pic....one more joined the group just before crossing over to the US..

Our room for the next 7 days not bad

You need to get that into a bucket of disinfectant at once.

Went to Royal Cornwall show yesterday with the Mrs and my daughters. Hell for me but horsey for them. I was lucky though as I met up with a load of mates from my old choir (Loveny) who were singing on one of the events stages closely followed by my favourite local band called The Countrymen. So that redeemed the day for me. Saturday I am singing with my choir up in England in a beautiful little Esturary village called Noss Mayo. Gotta solo to sing as well as singing the feature part in a couple of songs. Weird having 40 backing singers but should be fine. Sunday I hope to be out early for a biking bimble and My last overnight shift with the 111 service. Be glad for a Kip on Monday.

Got a co driver today, shes very happy

After the referendum I spent a bit of time tracing family history in the hope of an Irish connection. I actually found my maternal great grandfather (surname Lyster) was listed as Irish in the 1840 census. But there are no birth records I can find, and I believe that grandparents are the furthest back that is acceptable. Besides that it seems that everybody in my traceable family history on both sides, apart from my maternal grandfather (who was from Monmouth), was from Swansea. I must be the person with the most Swansea DNA on the planet.

Gotta love a free hotel room as well...

I've just come back from watching a mate playing lead guitar in a steely dan tribute gig. Was pretty good but my ears are ringing a bit. Only to walk in on the misses, 3 parts pissed blasting out Les Mis louder than what I've been listening to. I just tried to point out the time and she just said, "don't care". Think I might get a word or two off the neighbours tomorrow. Tomorrow I should be collecting some patio furniture for younger son and watching the sprint race in the afternoon. That is all.

@The Limey Rider ignore Pete he’s had some traumatic experiences. Well as you can tell from the comparing a kipper to fanny

No Wi-Fi is £39 a day I don’t need to talk to you fuckers that much I got good signal because we are still in Southampton departing about 6 and then it’s radio silence I think

It's like an episode of Steptoe & Son but with a funny accent ...............

I take it back.......its damn hot (for us) in the sunshine. Just got rid of my son and his girlfriend........and he got rid of 4 bottles of my San Miguel

He is … he just can’t handle the fact they chucked him off .

On a slow boat to Norway

Ignore the Hanoverian wankers Saul. Bunch of fucking Germans they are! You come over to the Celts Corner with me, @Renegade, @Sir Fallsalot, and @Specs!

FIXED! I asked on the Picasso users group on Facebutt and somebody suggested this: "Could it be an immobiliser thing? Try locking and unlocking the car using your key fob before starting it..." I didn't even know it had an immobiliser......but I tried it anyway! And it fucking worked! Now the missus can get that fucking horseshit off my footpegs!

Exactly my point, what defines a true Celt ? I don't think Celts were any different to the rest of this island for breeding with Danes, Saxons, Romans, French or any of the other invaders who came here. Anyway, Bristolians are the only true English race . Come to St. Pauls and see ................

She said there's no point in cleaning it off now cos she's going to get more shit on it later!

I went to the supermarket yesterday which turned into a bit of a pita cos they’ve closed the road I take and I ended up on a massive detour Then due to my long circuitous route I needed fuel asap and although I’ve seemlessly navigated a million fuel stops in France and Spain I could not make the pump work. It was bloody Fish Friday so the supermarket and fuel station was heaving, me and my British number plate caused a blockage for quite some time while kiosk people had to come out and help.. twice! Turns out if you tap the ‘full tank’ option on the prepay screen it does not work, you have to select £100 or under. Sometimes Lo siento just doesn’t cover it! I dragged my red faced self around the supermarket hoping all the people queuing watching me Frank Spencer fuelling up weren’t in the supermarket when I came across this- Spain has made a wine just for me Can’t remember the last time I had an alcoholic beverage so this morning my head really hurts! This was on display in the supermarket, better than most supermarket promotions! Not worth drinking 0% beer to enter though!

Riding moto support for the Ironman race in Boulder, CO tomorrow. Just got back from our pre-race briefing. Apparently a moto got tangled up with a bicycle in last week's race in Germany. Rider was killed. So they're being super critical of the moto's right now. See video below. Pretty good gig though - paying us $175 per moto for about 3 hours work. After Saturday's race, I'll be marshalling a 6 day ride across Colorado beginning on Sunday. Only $150 a day for that but should be fun. Wifey snagged me a free room in Boulder, too !

Damn right! Proper manly dancing.

Happy to have been of service, but you only say that because you know it has to be true, how else would he know..... Funny you say though as I did spot a picarsehole in 'that' layby I stayed in the other day with an old ginger looking cunt at the wheel so he could well be a dogging specialist and the 'problems' he's experiencing with his picarsehole are all just a ruse to throw us off the scent that he drove here to said layby for its activities...

Yebbut the trailer is ok, the rider is hoping theat PC Plod can't see the tractor for the trailer . Like you can't see the woods for the trees ................ I think

I'll stick to what I'm cooking now then

It’s my life’s ambition…….along with shagging Julia Roberts. Best I concentrate on the bikes.

Us Celts are the tops. The "Foil Cape of Brynaman" is a 3rd century relic made from pure platinum which was, at the time, mined exclusively in the British Isles near Prestatyn. The cape was beaten from a single piece of platinum, probably using deer antler & conkers. The cape was unearthed in 1938 in upper Brynaman by a local farmer whilst clearing an old well. Incredibly he used the cape to patch a hole in a shed roof until it was recognised for what it was 30 years later, when a travelling antiques dealer spotted it gleaming in the summer sun. The cape was taken to the British Museum for verification and restoration. The farmer received £1000 in compensation from the Queen which he used to buy the first Ford Capri in West Wales at a cost of £890. The cape is believed to have been commissioned by Arglwydd Arfryn (Lord Arfryn) a fierce warlord who ruled all the lands from Garnant to Cwmllynfell. He was defeated at the battle of Cwm Gors by Sir Keith of Monmouth in 378. Sir Keith happened to be passing through when he accidentally spilt a pint of mead belonging to Arfryn in the beer garden of the Queen of Hearts. All hell broke loose and Arfryn, who was on his ninth pint, was slain as he attempted to order a tenth mid battle. Sir Keith continued on his journey, and the area, particularly north of the Napoli pizza and kebab takeaway has remained lawless until this very day. The local heritage society is raising funds in order to commission a replica of the cape and to restore the Ford Capri, both of which would go on display in the proposed Upper Brynaman Museum which will have a cafe serving hot and cold snacks and Welshcakes.

Turn off your data roaming when you depart or brace for an eye watering bill. The company that covers the sea is muchos moola so it won’t be included in your phone plan.

Back to feed the horses again!

You gotta post some brekky pics. Ark at me demanding pics. How the tables have turned

You can’t beat a screaming 600………surprisingly satisfying ……..and don’t bother with the usual insults because they only work if the person being insulted gives fuck…….and @XTreme can testify that I don’t

Antonio and Jesus!

ok, you better take it to Juan/Manuel/Santiago/Ivan/Alvaro/Pablo/Javier .

Same here, love them but would rather someone else stunk up their kitchen cooking them. I've bought a single ring electric hob so I can cook them on the table outside when the weathers ok. Cors thats a bit tricky from a 1000 miles away

Mr Slowly and my eldest tried the cafe out this morning and said it was excellent. Pics look great. Rare to find a place that still does kippers for breakfast but that place does. Mr Slowly had the breakfast kebab which he said was really good and the eldest said it's rare he thinks it's worth getting up early but it was so good it was worth it. Next time he's trying out the mega breakfast - traditional fry up with double everything!

Yes but a hernia trumps arthur itus

just found this on google, Put the driver's window down and open the bonnet. ... If you have a battery cover remove it. ... Switch the engine off and remove the key (DO NOT Open the doors) ... Wait for 3 minutes. ... Disconnect the vehicle battery and wait 15 seconds. ... Reconnect the battery, wait 10 seconds (DO NOT open any doors) Still could be a dodgy starter. solenoid or relay though.

Used to be a reset which worked a couple of times. Engine off key in the ignition, open one of the windows. Wait 10mins, disconnect the battery for a few mins and reconnect. Don't open any doors or try to start for another few mins. Fingers crossed. If that fails then it could be time for petrol and a match although it would have got that earlier if I had my way.

I was aiming at shits n gigs saying you know you are in England (technically you are ) but we may have touched a nerve here. I recommend hiding this nerve as quickly as possible @Saul there's nothing liked more round here than a new raw nerve

Funnily enough I have a good mate who lives in Patchway so I have spent a fair bit of time in and around Bristol over the years. I don't contest that the British in general are anything but a bastard race as as are almost all european nationalities and I certainly don't think our culture is any better or worse than anywhere else in the UK. But there is a strong celtic distinction here in language, music and tradition, and nothing delights us more than to be told it doesn't exist. As far as I know the Cornish aren't that far from most of England in terms of DNA and there have been numerous studies over the years with differing results, I am a realist and understand the composition of the UK. But this isn't really the place but there are reams of stuff I could supply if you were genuinely interested. If not and you just want to be dismissive thats fine to, but my opinion will differ from yours.

You're the last person who can advise on disinfectant Yen!

That's bollocks Bob, may be below 50% now and falling but we still are ethnically Celtcs, and who defines what a true Celt is and by what measure.

By folklore yes but how many are actually true Celts , probably less than 1% . Whereas for you lot from Swansea it's probably less than 0.001% as you'll shag anyone from anywhere

Yes of course old farts in Choirs have to dress in uniforms it's part of the fun prancing around dressed the same. Not a chance of any video of my singing on here, you fuckers are way to brutal for that. And as for being in England I know you are on the wind up Yep got a new Job actually working for the NHS now, only a lowly GSA in Launceston Hospital but better money, no overnights and a fantastic working environment with good people. I am chuffed and can't wait to start.

Let's see him fix it.

It's French It's probably on strike.

Same, front room for me though. I was special.

What you all up to now?

The planes use to come over our place on approach to Doncaster airport, but that as closed now, so no more low planes. We have a small airport near us (20km) that has flights (Gamston airdrome) so we get quite many small (4 or 6 seaters) buzzing around the area, and a gliding club 30km away, but never see a glider in our sky. We seem to be on flightpath that the Red Arrows use on their way back to RAF Waddington, seen them many times, but need Flightradar24 to know where they are, or it's just whoosh and they have gone. The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight are due to fly over here on Sunday, so I will be tracking them, try and get my camera ready for them.
