You'd struggle not to get on with him, he's a down to earth no frills type of person.

Is that wise? I mean Pedro had a full head of hair before he rode with you

Well I seemed to have successfully wasted the last two days and now I have to pay the price. Hope I can get into bed before midnight the rest of the week. Laters gators.

Delicious and nutritious

I did his LEJOG ride cos I needed Mr Slowly to understand the vagaries of large group rides ie it’s mostly a total PITA. I found him a lovely guy but not quite the bimbler you’d think. He’s straight forward company and works pretty hard but doesn’t appear to have cracked the happiness thing yet, carries a lot of weight on his shoulders. But yer still a very nice guy. When we got to Scotland due to Covid restrictions we couldn’t enter as a group so thats where the route officially finished, although people did carry on individually I told him we were able to take our time so could he suggest some roads. He seemed to zone out from his surroundings and marked up my map with the encyclopaedic knowledge of a rain man! It was worth the trip cost for that alone.

I suppose it would be bound to have some noise absorption qualities but can’t imagine it’s worth the hassle.

SAS Rogue Heroes is well worth watching.

Im watching that right now! And yer it's not riveting is it. Did you try SAS Rogue Heroes?

Finished Happy Valley. Really enjoyed it. Excellent acting by Sarah Lancashire and Siobhan Finneran.

Looks great.

What is the point of the natural wall?

Genius!

Urr well perhaps moderating?

Doing DIY?

Nothing wrong with a bit of celebrating the good things.

Excellent. I loved plasticine. It got banned from our house as my mum kept finding it mashed into the carpet ( I was genuinely clueless about how it got there), I become apoplectic before sobbing uncontrollably so she relented. I don't think I've been that upset about anything since, well maybe Lassie going the wrong way.

You're spending a worrying amount of time on that photo

As Pete's keen to show off his DIY skills I thought a thread where you can put pics of stuff you made/are making/have fixed or rescued with a bodge would be good to look at. I don't have anything to contribute at the moment as my recent epoxy resin fix on the fridge door has just come off in Mr Slowlys hand Last upholstery thing this Friday so hopefully Ill have something to contribute then but the way it's been going I'm not so sure

Thought you wouldn't be too keen Practical peeps like looking at wot other practical peeps have done. You can post.. urr.. umm.. elsewhere?

I love a good bodge. Although if its a good bodge I tend to think of them as resourceful fixes, and if they're bad more of a farmer fix My epoxy resin 'fix' of the fridge handle back on last week was definitely a farmer fix, glad its out in the garage and I don't have to look at it

Nice work! She'll boil in there in the summer won't she?! I quite fancy a thread along the lines of "What you made/making/bodged" because there's a lot of resourceful people on here doing things I think we'd all enjoy seeing. What do you think?

He’s not two faced. He’s multi-faced and that’s the problem. One minute you’re having a laugh with him and the next he’s off on one and gunning in your direction for a seemingly inexplicable reason. Personally I found him both good company and a nut job. His constant right wing gun toting hyperbole was exhausting and should you dare say anything about it he’d go stellar, that part of him is not fun or forum friendly. So he might have reserved being a good friend for you but he didn’t extend that to others he imagined had slighted him in some way by disagreeing. Having endured some of his deluded rants which mostly revolved around me somehow not being a real woman (some antiquated stay at home ladies who lunch type person) or some sort of slag I didn’t have much choice to put him on ignore. I miss his nice contributions and don’t miss the rest of it one bit.

So that’s a legit thing men grow out of is it?

My guess is. He got a bit extreme, people put him on ignore, the lack of response to his posts annoyed him and he huffed off. Shame I liked his nice side, the pics in the sea etc but the rest of the off the wall rants not so much.
