I had a pass out today and the weather was taking a slight pause between storms so I had a look at the forecast to see which direction to go. East looked best so off to Wiltshire but where should I go ? On the far side of Calne I've passed a 'Motor Museum' sign countless times so a quick look on the net confirmed that it was open. It took about an hour to get there and probably because of the shitty weather it turned out that I had the place to myself. This couple are the original owners, unfortunately they've both passed on now so the museum is governed by a trust............. and this car was the first one to enter their collection which eventually became the museum, it's a 1937 Buick Albermarle.............. Th

Then we went from the sublime to the ridiculous, a superb Toyota Celica ST2000 and an even better (imo) Opel Manta To a FSO In one part of the hall @Buckster was doing his 'other' job and then there was an example of the first mass produced car, the Model T Ford.................

The museum has three small halls, it's very neat and tidy with all sorts of stuff to see...............

Oh FFS alright. You’re grasping at what is known as iatrogenic illness or disease. A topic that is studied before qualifying by anyone who works in the medical profession. It is far more prevalent in countries where private healthcare dominates and pharmaceutical companies find it easy to push their wares. The tidal wave of opiate addiction from prescribed meds in America is well documented and quite sinister. It is the opposite way round in the UK because meds cost money and they don’t want to spend it unless they have to. But there are still cases of inappropriate polypharmacy. It happens here occasionally that older people go into hospital and the first thing that happens is stopping almost all their meds because in combination they’re doing more harm than good. But that is rare. Most of the time those blood pressure pills, or diabetes meds are keeping that person well and alive. Why someone who’s devoted their life to studying disease and developing vaccines would know more than someone who’s read a few crackpot articles and come up with some bizarre theories after contemplating it for a few nano seconds is truly a mystery. I’m certain with a few days wading around the internet watching a few youtube tutorials you would have been delighted to let that person operate on your recent obstruction. No? Rather it was someone knowledgable who dedicated their time to that task? Well just make sure you only believe the people that it suits you to and dismiss everyone else who is dedicated to a field you clearly don’t understand. Reading some of the unbelievably ridiculous things on here it’s clear some folk really do need to go see the Doc and get more pills not less.

Go fuck a moose you turkey necked cunt.

On the way home it was a case of dodging showers all the way back .................... It was looking really threatening as I approached Batheaston so I stopped at a cafe to get a bite to eat. Fecking £10.70 for a bacon ciabatta and a coffee I took revenge by taking a very smelly dump in their toilets before I left . At least i could keep an eye on my bike from where I was sat in this massive mirror..............

and the last place had some real oddballs ................. and if I could have taken any one of the cars home with me it would have been this one. A series one Honda Civic with the Hondamatic gearbox............

There was a small hall with motorcycle and pushbikes in as well..........

Down in the newest hall were some good and some not so good cars that you'll probably all remember............... Love this Jag 420............ I drove a Scimitar like this back in the day , I can even remember the reg number , 4DOP................... one for @Catteeclan, it was only a 1600L though Dave but quite tidy ............. This Mini was unusual in that it didn't have a conventional gearbox , just some torque converter arrangement that gave a forward and reverse gear. It was supposedly Alec Issigonis's own car ...............

The Limousine hall ............. Anyone who had a car in the 1970/80's will tell you sh*t these alarms were

Got the mot's on both cars tomorrow morning, so fingers are crossed that nothing crops up apart that go and do the weekly shop then Sunday I believe its rugby training for the rugrat

All of them should be behind bars!

cause every time you sneeze or stub a toe you tell us.

Evening yesterday in Ericeira

I know first hand, if Mr Slowlys leg lands on me when asleep you’re pinned until you can wake him

Was hoping for a quiet one but the boys have both just txt to say they’ll be down tomorrow, then two are going to the rugby club for a Colts reunion and one is going to a surprise birthday party. I swear if I have to wipe up vom splatter again I’ll.. I’ll.. umm.. probably just wipe up vom splatter

I think that's the most twattish comment I've ever seen in my life , you've excelled yourself

Suns out here at the mo but the rains return for the weekend.

The sun doth shine ☀ and a reasonable temperature, thought about a little ride then the biscuit bandits rang to say "We are on our way, get the kettle on"

All fact checkers are part of the conspiracy? That's convenient for you and the other conspiracy idiots.

@XTreme If folk don’t have the desire or ability to read various credible resources to form coherent thoughts theres not a lot of point even trying is there? There is a cool word for them though - Mumpsimus!

You just need a blood transfusion from @Marcel, it would fix your hernia, render you immune to all diseases including the ginger mange and turn your hair brown.

That’s right, you and Pete could be brothers.

I don’t actually know how tall or heavy Mr Slowly is now. I remember at his pique fitness playing for Bristol he was about 5’ 10” and 17 stone but that was when rugby in England decided athletic was good and heavy was bad. Then they got stuffed in the scrum many times and realised weight mattered. So he went up to 20 stone and decimated anyone that was in front of him. Light on their feet they are not. Formidable they definitely are.

Feckin hilarious. There’s no of idea of the muscle mass involved in being a front row player. One leg probably weighs more than a normal persons entire body

But playing in the front row and being 85kg wouldn't have boded well.... You tell them @Slowlycatchymonkey

Try what, talking to you in the language you profess to be fluent in ie common sense?

Working tonight and Sunday night. Singing in a Concert on Saturday night and going to Redruth Christmas Choir practice on Sunday afternoon. Haven't been on the Hornet for 2 days so will put that right as well.

Well they and an army of armchair experts misusing Dr Google can’t possibly be wrong can they

That's a nice looking machine wonder of they will do a dual sport version and looking at the specs this is a prime example of why i can't get my head around the weight of the Himalayan. it's 151KG and 650cc that's 44KG less than the new Himalayan why ? To sum it up Ducati Himalayan

Saturdays weather looking grim ....Sunday looking like a better day, but we have no plans......we may do a John & Yoko

i agree ... i dont agree with the figures they gave during covid , what ever some one died of they was adding to the covid death figures, there are more excess deaths now than at the height of covid , but thats not on the news every night ... perhaps its cause of the back log of treatment people couldn't get cause of lockdowns ... i dont know , im just sayin

Correct. Antibiotics work on bacterial infections not viruses. Giving someone with a virus antibiotics will not stop the infection. It is usually done to - A. Protect a someone who has a nasty virus from getting a bacterial infection. B. To cover all basis if theres a suspicion the patient with a virus may have subsequently developed a bacterial infection. The inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics is what led to resistance eg MRSA so it had to stop. If everyone with a virus was given antibiotics we would be back to the days where there were none and folk would die from bacterial infections pronto. Bacterial infections tend to be fast and extremely nasty, without working antibiotics we’d be living in a very different world.

I like that, be interesting how much it is.

I thought that too But they manufacture with indo-Asians in mind who expect to be able to fix things cheaply (ie it bends back and is easily welded) so they make a lot of it from steel.

Need I say more.... My legs are like tree trunks, I did a composition scan at the gym a few weeks back and whilst yes I'm heavy im only actually carrying about 18kg of fat the rest is muscle, bone and water weight

So how tall and how heavy is Mr Slowly?

You tell him dad

I was on the bike this week for work....

The only thing I take is Enalapril 10mg once a day! That's it!

Yes he should be!

So you do fuck guys then, don't deny that this is you.

why aint the BBC on that list ?

Let’s check your sources, oh dear. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/world-tribune/

De Nile isn't just a river in Egypt by the looks of it and how come the only people getting Covid are the jabbed ? Read this enlightening little pearl of information, ask yourself why and how did this happen. She gave one of many examples to illustrate the point: “On one day, 30 people were jabbed on the same day, at the same location. All are now deceased. And their deaths are in close temporal, time, proximity to each other. We are calling for an inquiry. Not just any inquiry. A full-blown criminal investigation leaving no stone unturned.” It's mass murder on a scale never before seen, and its going to get far worse in 2024 and 2025, good luck top ya, the only way that you can get the poison out of your body is fasting so get onto it.

Bmi literally means fuck all.... it doesn't take in to consideration any physical exercise just a height and weight.... Don't even bother going off it, having played rugby for most of my life I know I'm healthy enough that's all that matters
