if you're playing " one-upmanship" in this domain on this forum, I think it should be made clear from the start that neither Yamahead nor Bob Oneleg are allowd to play , They should have a league of their own where weight loss due to removal of body parts is a legitimate thing and the rest of us can sit and quibble about who's getting oldest the fastest...

Since the consensus seems to have Bob & I disqualified from this thread....maybe we'll just start our own Cyborg/Amputee thread.... Then "Mr. Perfect" who has all his digits, can Piss Off on his Hardley-Ableson

I did it a few years ago Chris on my way back to Blighty. I managed to see most of what I wanted to see in a day but I probably only saw a quarter of what there is. I would try and factor in two days if you can I've still got plans to do some of the stuff around the Falaise pocket whenever I can get around to it.

Rain has arrived, but Costa enjoyed the protection of his warm Rukka jacket.

Fair point. , so I'll see your mangled arm / hand and raise you a rheumatoid polyarthritis and twin teenage daughters ( if they don't count as handicap or a disease they f'in well should do )

I have always wanted to do the Normandy Beaches and spend some time taking it in. I have been to Ypres and Passchendaele and the associated museum with one of my past choirs. Also sung at the Sundown service at the Menin Gate and at Tyne Cot Cemetery. Helluva experience something that I will never forget. Both my Grandads were in WW2 and my paternal one was also in WW1. Neither of them mentioned a word about it ever, I found out some stuff after their deaths but I bet there was plenty more to tell.

Mine is a 40 years old drama queen.

Keep your cock in your pants ....................

Woke up to -14f temps this morning ....talk about crispy cold! Had a helluva time getting my truck back up the driveway on Thursday....more snow on the way.... Might just hang out in the house with the misses today....catch up on some domestic duties, like getting my income tax info sent off to the tax lady....oh joy.

We call them the Buckets for this, and other reason's....only two of them and live in a 5 bedroom house!....they have a car each (i will let him off on that because his is a Pugshite ) sis in law has a new car every 3 years, she has a Renault Captur at the moment, I bug her no end when I tell her it's a upmarket Dacia Sandero

definitely.......They will give the usual speech..."we are off to Tenerife for 10 days soon...Thailand in May for 2 weeks.....Australia for 1 month in September.....back to Tenerife for Christmas & New Year".......envious, me?....a bit, only of the Tenerife hol, I could not tolerate the Australia & Thailand flight... oh well, 8 weeks and we are away for along weekend. ☺

buy some earplugs. oh, and make sure your bathroom has industrial gauge waste system.

Knackered last night so early bed for me. Woke at 4am usually get up at 4.30 anyway so no suprise. First gym sesh today after accident so will probably break myself and do eff all for the remainder of the weekend

I find more alcohol got me a lot of injuries and ailments i should never have had

anybody here visited? 80th anniversay this year, and if my Britanny trip doesn't come off ( looking less likely already) my plan B for the 8th may long weekend would be to go visit the landing beaches. I'm looking for info on whether I need 2 days "on site" or if one is sufficient, and what to see and what to not bother with. As the internet is only capable of supplying commercial tour operators advertisements and information pages from conspiracy theorists explaing how, "in fact", none of it ever happened, i thought I'd ask a group of people who's opinions i respect. Obviously I could,t find one, so I'm asking you lot as a last resort... anybody been and done it?

That's how it goes isn't it. I went to visit my Auntie (she's 91) in hospital a couple of weeks ago. She told me how my Grandad lied about his age to join up and fought in Egypt, Italy and France in WW2. He never ever said a word to me about it and nor did my dad.

You could always offer to walk it when they are gone, might be a treat for both of you.

yeah buy a shotgun to keep all the local youth at bay

I have fond memories of ST Malo from my youth, its the first place i'd ever been where they were topless sunbathing on the beach i spent most of my time there LOL

All along the coast from Port-en-Bessin going North and then inland to the church at Sainte-mere-Eglise.

Not really no......virtually no memories. And that generation never talked about their experiences.

Quite pleasant out there, clear blue skies and 7c.........nice enough to have a short ride , but the biscuit bandits are on their way here.

you get up at 4.30 normally ! .... you got a paper round ?

Me and the wife always wanted to......but like with everything, life has always got in the way. Both our fathers were on the D-Day Landings......her father would never speak about it, all we knew is he drove tanks! My father was in the Royal Glos regiment and landed on Gold Beach. He was deployed as recon and got captured by the Germans. Then he saw out the rest of the war in Stalag IV-B. Contracted TB and was invalided after the war......dying in 1959 at the age of 43. We will visit these places one day.......before time runs out.

And something to hook all the hair out the shower drain or any drain, it seems to be a job i have to do every month even the boy has hair like he's a reincarnation of someone from a 70's rock band wouldn't be a problem if i was here on my own LOL

Sooo the twist is due to the triple clamp being twisted. Its not pleasant to ride now. I know it was twisted before but i was used to it. Seems different now and horrid on a corner sooo i got one off ebay and a yoke just incase that was also bent. Hmmmm this little bike grrrrrrr

Friday, cleaned my bike again, fitted a splash guard over the rear shock. Watched the rugby then work overnight. Saturday, sleep then hope to either walk the dog or go out on the bike, then rugby. Sunday, bike or walk or probably both, then rugby then work overnight.

And then your alarm clock went off

This is Bobs reply to this lol

Amen my 2 are not twins, but at 16 and 18, fuck me they make my life complex.

It's a big part of what they do, which surprised me. They also do a lot of outdoor non motorcycle things.

So you are in fact English then ..................

Isn't him that wrote the ad ?

keep her way from @Buckster

The Captur, Nissan Juke, Sandero and Jogger are built on the same platform, so in the end they are all Renault Clio,s.

playing bagpipes no problem ...wearing a wet suit put me off to be honest

ST Malo is my favorite place on earth. ( so far...) first visited as a kid on a sailing boat and have been back numerous times since, it never gets old. but don't even think about going when Paris is on school holidays.

Ah I see !! I love those sort of people. The sort that think they're superior to you because of all the holidays they have ....................

My (occasional) riding buddy has been there, and on a Ypres tour too, he likes all thing WW1 & 2, I remember him saying he was there for 3 days, but didn't get to do and see all that he wanted too....he is hoping to do the trip again this year.. My wife always wanted to visit St. Malo, she is disappointed that it never happened.

I often wonder what goes on in my, admittedly very spoilt, Jack Russell crosses head. Everyone of his toys has a gimped right front leg, non of the others are touched but he always attacks and takes the stuffing out of the right front. The only exception is his walrus where he has gimped the right front tusk. ???

Push that class A boy you need to sell it quick time

I seem to have a bad case of the hiccups right now, does it count?

Where's @busabeast's ailments? Cos I remember him saying he's got a fucked up arm and injured ribs! And of course he's struggling with the disability of being unable to keep a job for more than a week!

Too right Scott . I know a twat from the enablement centre who tells peeps that his leg got blown off by a mine in the Faulklands, the truth is that he fell down some stairs when he was pissed .

and im going to get a sons of arthritis t shirt

I'm trying to speak to a Doctor and then I'll probably be doing fuck all ........................
