Chaos here this morning in chez oneleg. The ceiling is coming down in the kitchen and living room as there is asbestos in the artex and the extension build can't start until it's removed. We are confined to upstairs which is interesting when doing a simple task like making a cup of tea as we can't find anything. I think dinner may be coming from the chip shop this evening

$1,700.00 For one day bike rental and 2 nights lodging? If anyone wants to do this, I'll guide ya free of charge. Bike rental would be around $125 for one day.

Yep that seems the easiest option, going to have more time on Thursday plus an extra pair of hands/eyes so I’ll let you know how we get on.

You carry on then guv, pay your £100 to go and watch Spurs or whatever bunch of prima donnas takes your fancy. I'll keep £88.00 I've saved for petrol for my bikes ..........

Almost certainly mate, well that’s the only thing I can think of. It’s not like it’s a moving part that has snapped, I would have expected the hoses to split over time but not what’s happened. I’ve got a mate popping around tomorrow to have a look and see if he can come up with a fix. He’s pretty inventive so fingers crossed.

Much, much better than going to a league/premiership game. You could have a drink on the terraces , walk all around the ground, fans mingling together and having a bit of banter and none of the toxic atmosphere you get at the bigger clubs PS. £12.00 to get in as well (senior price)

Yes it was a good run, kept dragging Gary along but i just couldn't get him to break any speed limits LOL oh and i lied i was out 10 hours not 7.

I'm sending her a link to this.

Yeah she’s always been a tight fit

Happy birthday @MooN, you old cunt.

Happy birthday … enjoy this ..

Metal putty on the spigot ?

Jap shite.

Good new for the misses but that looks a bugga to get your hand in.

My day today went a lot better than yesterday! Went to the hospital with the missus to have a consultation with the arrhythmia specialist. Proper swanky hospital, first class service and definitely worth the monthly fee. The cardiologist has said she needs a small operation to stop excess electrical signals being generated and sent to the heart muscles which is what causes the arrhythmia. The way he explained it is that most people have one circuit that sends signals to the heart muscles to beat according to whatever your doing (resting, exercise etc) but some people (the awkward ones ) have an additional circuit that chips in randomly and causes the heart to go mental……hers hit 212 bpm last time it happened. Anyway, he reckons the operation is pretty straightforward and should be done fairly soon, possibly in the next couple of weeks (can you imagine that on the NHS?) They basically seal the end of the extra circuit to prevent it sending electrical signals. It’s a case of dropping her off one morning and they look after her all day with the op usually in early evening. She can go home the next morning. Thank fuck we can get it sorted because it’s really scared her and me too. However yesterday was a complete twat of a day……… had a lovely ride out in the morning, all went well until I got home………… Pulled up outside the house and noticed coolant pissing out at the bottom of the bike. Traced it to where one of the hoses fits onto the rear of the cylinder head. I’ve noticed that where the hose clamps to the engine there’s no stud and that’s because it’s corroded and snapped off. It’s probably stuck inside the hose but until I can lift the tank and take a better look I won’t know for sure. If that’s the case I’m not sure if it can be welded back on or whether I need a new head cylinder! If that’s the case then I think I’ll have to sell it for spares and repairs because the cylinder heads seem to be quite pricey and you never know what you’re going to get second hand. So now I’ve no working bike and the mountain bike is sitting in the corner of the garage looking smug. Double fucking bollocks.

Must admit, quite nice to ride if I was shorter in the leg, shame Mandis not here.

Whoo hoo! The new sofa has arrived, old one had several broken springs, well it was nigh on 15 years old, maybe this new one will help with my back, which has been bad for months. Both sofas are the same size, got then from SCS when they were on for a sale price.

Now in the Pyrenees, travelling back. Bilbao tomorrow, for culture.

Got out early on the XR with Gary today out about 7 hours, but we did manage a respectable 164 miles and a lot less talking. Started to drizzle mid day and didn't let up until we were on the last leg home poor Gary didn't take any waterproofs so was soaked though i was pretty cold and wet with them on by the time i got home The red arrows This was slightly washed out Our route

I used to wear jeans like that when i was your daughters age not because it was the fashion of the time but because i was a scruffy cunt, who knew it would catch on and i was one of the pioneering trend setters

Still sunning it up … it’s fucking hot here , around 32… 3 weeks ago it was touching 50 .. and humid .. talking to a few xpats they said it was unbearable

The Mrs. & I will be fine tuning the ergo's on her trike today....& then possibly a Ride on this optimum-weather day. Then prepping for our 2-night camping trip beginning on Monday....Destination here:

Weekends just a normal day for the retired.....so like any other day I expect I will be As well as watching the BSB from Oulton Park.

what you really meant is the wife has left you alone again for the last week and you havent been getting the nudge.
