Went exploring in the old Mazarron mines today on the mountain bike. Not that far but about 60% of the 30klms was off road so plenty of effort needed. Loads of gravel. Legs felt a bit wobbly when I got home. All the buildings have fallen into disrepair but plenty to snoop around. Quite spooky really. I bet @XTreme will wank himself into a stupor when he sees the deprivation and total devastation.

Another day of work.....but not as manic now I've got the server migrations done. And tomorrow it's back to Baza Hospital cos the wife is having tests done. While I'm waiting I might look into the Hernia Dept and frighten the shit out of them that I'm coming back!

Did you show the mrs a picture of me @Clive.... this would explain why your place is so moist all the time ?

Just been out on a Hornet bimble with my mate. Nothing much to see apart from dirty Hornets.

its a place i have not been to for year's.

My Love

i could get a new van

Just remember Sofia doesn't live in the swamp us brits do, we've probably had more rain in the last 3 months than you've had in the past 20 years LOL

Even worse, he might be thinking someone would pay 250k for him.

So Sofia doesn't get moisture now then!

@XTreme only had a little wank , he only has a mega wank if there are dead dogs as well

Sunday dawned and the sun shone so I decided to go to a bike and car show that I saw advertised on one of the Facebook pages. I rode down to Alguena which isn't that far from Alicante and found the bike show consisted of one guy doing wheelies and endos along with shredding his rear tyre, the sort of things that teenager do before they get their licence. I didn't stay long I made my way back along the N332 from Alicante which runs along the coastline pretty much all the way home. Interestingly enough I took my time I was in no rush I actually stuck to the speed limits, short shifted and never went over 71mph. When I got home my bike was showing 4,4 litres per 100 kms fuel consumption which is a little over 64mpg not bad for a 1200cc machine, I filled her up this afternoon ready for tomorrows ride out with my ex pat friends, I brimmed the tank and it only took a little over 16 litres I had dome 310 km and with a 23 litre tank, which meant I had another 100 kms left in I was impressed. I have to apologise for all my spelling mistakes I try to go through everything I write but being rather dyslexic means one or two do get through.

No I won't There are limits. But I have discovered that I can get on with horrible cunts well enough.

Don't you start fucking trolling as well Saul!

"I bet @XTreme will wank himself into a stupor when he sees the deprivation and total devastation".

It would be a nice day for a ride here, sunny, 11c and only a slight breeze blowing. But the bloody papers keep saying that snow is returning in the coming week.

I have actually been to Passchendaele but not on that day, just stepped in a puddle that was deeper than it looked.

Signed up for a ride out with the TRF this Saturday on the dog so thought I'd stick a new front tyre tonight as i was like Bamby on ice last Sunday, it's got a Michelin tracker on there now so should help this weekend, then i remembered i have a winter rear wheel with knobblier rubber on so thought i'd stick that on and noticed the pads were low so swapped them, after fitting the winter wheel i remembered why i haven't used it for about a year, bloody wheel bearings gone, checked my stock and have some there so that's tomorrow nights job it's costing me a fortune and i haven't got to the start point yet, ride it better be fucking worth it

She lives 50 meters high next to the atlantic in a flat with shit portuguese 80s isolation and windows, and minimum sun exposure. It's a very humid house and was starting to get black mould all over. 4 days of dehumidifiers cleared the air and after a week the mould was gone. If you switch them off for 12 hours the humidity goes to a steady 92º in winter, and after a week the walls would be in the same state. Granted it's more rain there but that just means you have to be intensive and constant in taking humidity off.

Sofia has two modern ones and there’s hardly any change in electrical consumption since they’ve been on, they did however eliminate all moisture.

I thought you were going to ask @Clive if he had any photos

It bloody well has, I 'm fucking charming in normal life

but not a fool

Yeah but I bet he wa a lot more comfortable riding his bike not having to wear a chastity belt

I bet @Skippy was shitting himself being there on his own without me to babysit him.

If Pete was on the bike it would have a different meaning

Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt

Yeah man

You need another dehumidifier, Clive, working full time after a few days you'll get a nice dry house. It'll smell different once you start to get the moisture out of the walls.

Your bike's brand is weed?

This bungalow too has loads of roof insulation, don't know about cavity wall insulation, windows are double glazed too. I do not leave any clothing or bike gear laying about, those are stored in what used to be our airing cupboard, pipes for the central heating pass through it, so it is dry and mould free in there, Think it will be a constant battle with the mould, something we will have to live with. In other news......got the insurance renewal for the scoot......it has gone from (roughly) £65 to £100...

@Six30......these are brilliant, now everybody's challenging Big John!

It sounds like it could be condensation, in which case it’s a matter of controlling the humidity within the property rather than looking for an external source of moisture. Using a paint with a mild fungicide in it might help control the mould (eg Dulux Mouldshield) but it won’t stop the condensation, if that’s what it is.

This bunch, about 5 minutes into the video!

The housing association guys have been here a couple of times and painted on some evil smelling stuff, it is applied in 2 coats, the mould dissappears for around 2 months, then returns, as said, we have the windows open when the weather allows, to get some ventilation through the bungalow, one guy said leave the heating on 15c for 24/7, but that's unaffordable for us.. During the late spring, summer and early autumn the mould will be much less of a problem.

We have a extraction fan in the kitchen and bathroom, they are linked to the lights, turn the lights on, fan fires up. They have spent quite some time in the loft, found no evidence of leaks.

It's airborne mould, they have done a examination of the roof, it is watertight, no sign of any water damage in the loft. We have the windows open in the effected rooms as often as possible, but obviously it is limited by the weather.

Where you been? Passchendaele?

You got water getting in somewhere , no good just keep treating it with out finding the cause it will keep coming back

They were in some of his earlier videos, when they were "repairing " his bike! It seems that a few people in the comments tried to warn him of them!

Same here mate....I think I was more prone to it than most as I've been on ski's since I 4y/o....sort of a junkie for the snow. Riding in ALL sorts of weather, especially winter, can be a rather sobering experience in finding out just how BadAss you think you are @ Riding!

Shedding ice off my bike gear was something I did regularly when I was young........the novelty soon wore off though!

Photoshop!

I'll see your snow on the hills 100 miles away and raise you some dirt and water touching the tyres LOL
