  1. She'll only jump ship n dump him if there's something better on offer... or she's stupid and there's mucho's drama on offer. He's better broken free and then semi repaired than stuck like that forever?
  2. I've ventured over that stuff before when trying to find out what exactly was going on with my own mother, not a barrel of laughs at all, you have my empathy as does your son.
  3. Goddam I wanted the 3D one that show the bike in it's entirety. No matter Pedro's monkey is the winner!
  4. Oh dear I've been TRIGGERED Soz the reply is long, a need to vent occurred. Nope. You can't easily find a butcher's shop full stop. They disappeared when supermarkets bulk buying power and convenience pulled the rug from beneath their feet. The population in the area I live in is over 60,000 so it's not small and yet no butchers. Of the two surviving butchers nearish to me one is half an hour driving plus queueing and the other (like many of them now) is an artisan affair offering meat cuts at triple the usual price. To be fair in some arena's the supermarkets in the UK have done an excellent job of wiping the floor with normal butcher's, the meat quality is stated on the packaging and is generally true, it's usual to have the choice of budget (low quality), average quality and premium plus all sorts of welfare and organic certifications on top of that. If you went to simply buy a chicken there would be about 5 or 6 types in at least three sizes. Fish on the other hand, you're screwed. No fishmongers survived and if you're not after basic common cuts of fish it has to be ordered online. The supermarkets have however mastered frozen and fresh prepared raw shellfish. The prepared shellfish I can buy in Spain is truly awful. Prawns have to be bought whole and raw (otherwise they've been boiled to death) which is hard work if you're used to buying good quality fresh raw peeled and deveined creatures. On the upside the fruit and veg is exceptional!
  5. It's meat with a load of shite mixed in. Unless you're making the burgers yourself (or have a butcher like Pedro's) you're likely to be eating all sorts. My son has anaphylactic level allergies, I've spent 20 years reading or asking for ingredient lists, it's very boring but also shocking what extra crap is in food. They hardly ever contain only what you think they should.
  6. I think she just really didn't want to be recorded, when she appears and realises the camera's on her she can't handle it and disappears behind husbands back. I have some sympathy with that. I do not like having my photo taken or being recorded and my father in law constantly gets a video camera out and shoves it in everyones direction. You feel like a total bitch saying "I don't want to be recorded" but honestly I think he's rude doing it without asking and especially when I don't like it! Not that thats you Pete just saying I understand not wanting to be filmed.
  7. Very sad. She possibly doesn't realise that is a sort term contract, even the weakest of people realise once the children have grown up their partner is not their cup of tea and they need to exit pronto.
  8. DO IT DO IT DO IT Monkey bike on the front page. Course it'll make this place seem far more exotic than it really is
  9. I couldn't handle it Pete. Don't get me wrong I'm prone to lazy days (which I love and always make up for) but people who get everyone else to do all their shit for them just because they don't want to does my head in.
  10. Back when mudguards were actually long enough to catch mud!
  11. Afraid not just don't look into how bacons made then, speaking of which I have two packets of sulphites for breakfast tomorrow
  12. Unlikely Pedro, even if he skipped the crumb part which is what retains the juices in the burger the bacon will have been made with nitrites or sulphites or metabisulphites.
  13. This is so sharp it looks 3D! I want it on BOTM, a Monkey and a bike on the front page what could be more descriptive of here?!
  14. A course on what cos she flew through her free loader finals and graduated with honours
  15. Not true though is it, here's the ingredients for 'Edwards' beef burgers Beef (75%), Gluten Free Breadcrumbs (Rice Flour, Gram Flour, Maize Starch, Salt, Dextrose), Water, Caramelised Red Onion Chutney (5%) (Red Onion, Dark Muscavado Sugar, Red Wine Vinegar (Sodium Metabisulphite), Sunflower Oil, Cinnamon, Clove), Seasoning (Rice Flour, Salt, Dried Onion (Sulphite), Potassium Chloride, Dextrose, Preservetive (Sodium Sulphite), Yeast Extract, Acidity Regulator (Citric Acid), Dried Garlic, Natural Flavourings, Natural Colour (Carmine), Flavouring), Caramelised Red Onion (2%) (Red Onion, Dark Muscovado Sugar, Sunflower Oil), Rice Flour
  16. I used this, supposedly doesn't mess up the wicking, seems to do the trick. If your boots are not black they do a 'neutral' https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/515146
  17. Yep and then your lumbered with the hayburners and have to pay for two more and on n on it goes!
  18. Wow they really look like new! TLDR be choosey over what you stick on your boots. In case you're yet to garner I'm a part time geek. So when my expensive boots started looking shoddy I looked up what to use. There's a balance to be struck between waterproofing and breathablilty. If you over waterproof your boots the gortex liner can be as breathable as you like it won't make any difference because the oils and wax added to the outer leather clog the leather pores comprehensively and you're looking at sweaty feet. Brands like Daytona sell waterproofing conditioners that also guarantee the boots breathability. Waxes, saddle soap and alike are good if you don't think you'll ever wear your boots in warm conditions and generally have cold feet. I'm happy to fork out for the specific boot products because I rarely clean my boots.. save a quick slosh about in a puddle Dirty boots are cool
  19. Forgot to say Happy Sunday… HAPPY SUNDAY Had one of my favourite lazy Sunday lunches. No peeling potatoes, only one pan to wash and with the peppers, garlic n dusting of paprika makes it a feel a bit Spanishy too Washing it down with a crisp white wine also helps improve things a wee bit Before n after Mr Slowly first made this for me on Mother’s Day about 15 years ago, the brownie points went off the charts
