Talking of zones Bristols clean air zone starts 28th November. I've already been sent a warning letter for entering the restricted area, it'll cost £9 to drive directly to where my sons living but as he's about 50 metres outside the zone I will be able to drive around it. Wonder how much extra pollution and congestion it's going to cause as the tiny roads surrounding the area clog up.

Altered my life beyond recognition in many ways.

Quality not quantity Mr Pukka pie

Boys left with full stomachs, haircuts, a tank of fuel and bags of food, job done, time for a Johnnie Walker Black Label. As blends go it doesn't get much better.

I forgot Georgia (the country not the American state). Its position in between Europe with the Black Sea, turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia and its long ancient history makes for some interesting reading. Mongols, Turks, Independence from Russia with German protection then back again and most recently the Russian- Georgian war in 2008. They have a number of UNESCO world heritage sites worth a visit.

I did not know that. I always attributed the inflexible uptight prudish attitudes of today to the Victorian era.

I had to look it up the first time I saw ICE and that led me off on one about why you needed to specify internal, what external combustion engine would be and the vagaries of engine efficiency. Had a good couple of hours geeking out in that

I miss her, she always seemed a naturally cheery person, a rare trait.

Happy Sunday Suspect a late lunch today as the boys are still asleep, not surprising as they were up at 3.30am?!

Well you say that but it was still a robbery.

With or without a brighter bulb I won't be seeing him again

They're just not straight jacketed into a narrow definition of manliness like we are. A bit of warmth with your fellow man. Whats not to like.

The first Paddington was made in the UK but likely there or china now.

Cheers. Might order some and get over my fear of touching anything electrical on a bike.

I've got to go where Paddington was born

This one riding round the yard where I live on my first bike barely in control, shit yourself level scared and loving every single second. Woke up everyday for months excited, feeling like something good was going to happen and not be sure why, then I’d remember I have a motorbike.

Not sour for you of course, you like a bit of drama. Causing it that is, not being in it.

Exactly. Robbed from the outset.

Why no Peru?

I'm not familiar with the Nepalese fly area but as finding a flushing toilet is a rarity you don't hang about in Nepalese toilets, they smell like hell on earth.

I like seeing it, its warm and friendly so obviously wouldn't suit a brit In Nepal the men will walk along holding hands as well just cos they're friends. Lovely.

Internal combustion engine.

Yeh well six30 was robbed.

It's a truly superb bike. The only reason it remains my second favourite is because the 9T was my first and I can't have an ICE knocked of the top spot by a supersonic milk float. The Low Rider is a thing of pure beauty.
