And already looking like a wrongun

Nice, the pics look cold too.

Yer I've seen the demo bike at Fowlups, nice looking apart from the cheap stickers they used.

Not convinced it does exist.

Theres a thought.

Can't wait that long Bob, something has to come out of the garage (other than a defunct freezer ) next week.

Haven't ridden since before Christmas, the withdrawal symptoms are severe

Complaints at Fowlups are like water off a ducks back.

Fowlers rang yesterday, said they'd heard from BSA and are expecting delivery on the 1st/2nd Feb. Said it may well take a couple of weeks from that point to prepare the bike (what do they do exactly?) but he'd ring as soon as it arrives so I can go have a looksy

Got better as it went along didn't it. I'm not usually a fan of overly chipper vloggers pretending everything on their jolly jape is simply wonderful so it was good that they showed a bit of the frustrations involved.

Happy Sunday Today is the first Sunday in a while I have no cooking plans, I was supposed to be joining friends down in Cornwall for birthday celebrations but I’m still black n blue from the aerial skiing I’ll be staying as still as possible, well I will be right after I tackle the freezer that went kaput while we were away and was too much for the boys to deal with. I completely forgot until last night when I saw watery freezer juice leaking out of the bottom at increasing speed. Odd that all of my appliances have kicked the bucket within a year or so of each other after 20 plus years. Odd and feckin pricey!

Blimey makes Blighty seem warm

Phosphates. They feed the algae and turn the water green. I believe the phosphates get into the water from waste like sewage treatment.

A Benelli?

He's afraid everyone will stop him. Skippy?

Well?

He's probably not feeling suicidal at the moment and could do without the trash talk about his new bike

It was disappointing. A tired old concept executed in a boring way. But I liked the start because I have a particular dislike of pretentious foodies and have had a couple of shit experiences in those places where it's all kings clothes. One was Heston Blumenthal's Fat Duck at Bray where a friend was told theres no such things a something that tastes bad you basically have an under-developed palate. Some of it was so awful (the rancid pigeon blood is an experience I wish I could forget) and the gushing guests who didn't mean a word of it made me want to vom. With wine it was about £750 per head which definitely made me feel very sick. What a waste of money. Mr Slowly got up n walked out. The other is a place in Bristol, everyone raves about the tasting menu at 'Casamia'. I suppose Michelin starred restaurants attract knowall staff but honestly it was like eating in a library, absolute silence to demonstrate your deference to the food. Couldn't bear it. If theres no smiles and occasional chatter the food is IMO soured. Anyway the film took over half an hour to get started and even then just plateaued into boredom.

Possibly but they all end up doing the rounds eventually don't they.

Oh goody.

Sounds hellish

Both. Slow Horses is a series (two so far but they're already going to do a third) and The Menu is a film with Ralph Fiennes who I always find an engaging actor to watch.

There's been some great suggestions for what to watch on here but I quite often don't commit it to memory and then can't find the post. I thought a dedicated thread so I can find the bloody things might work. I heartily recommend Slow Horses for easy watching, it's a strong 8 out of 10. Gary Oldman is superb. About to watch 'The Menu' heard good things about it (89% on Rotten tomatoes) and have avoided reading anything about it that would spoil the plot so fingers crossed. What have you enjoyed or hated watching lately? ps if you're going to give away the plot then please out a spoiler alert warning first.
