It's a lot better since the clean air zone though don't you think? Although the Uni's and colleges going back this week made me make a mental note not to venture into Bristol their first week back!

Must have been the FPM survival plan- Be too big to fit in top box

Mr Slowly has quadlock on one bike and ‘Peak Design’ (very highly rated quadlock type thing) on another and they're both good. The adapters that stick to your phone don’t feel that secure, they cannot be put on silicone cases. Mr Slowly used the quadlock adapter on his case for one trip and bought the dedicated case. The support bracket is a standard ram mount.

Very slowly catchy monkey

Fibber you’re a massive drama tart.

Right I gotta go. Lorry arriving in 10 mins and I have to be about.

Thats cos Six used to be able to use his personality to keep people away, then he joined here and discovered a raft of piss taking fuck ups. Then in-spite of himself started to enjoy their company, try as he might to piss everyone off out of it he’s addicted to the magnetic personalities and quite horrifyingly finds himself engaging in other peoples lives. Poor bloke

Nope not until Pete signs a legally binding I won’t be a dickhead clause

Sorry I need better assurances I won’t have to endure the usual bollox before I share the latest battery fiasco. Like not blaming the feckin bike, which it turns out has done a stella job

So do you want to hear the latest battery saga on the Himalayan? Im only telling if Pete can control his third world bashing tendencies cos it has nothing to do with the bike.

That’s cos Navidad goes on for feckin ever in Spain. In the UK the madness is contained to a much shorter space of time preceded by nothing and followed by nothing save a minor blip of a holiday at Easter, in Spain it’s just the next lot of excuses used to run a continual fiesta/siesta Still now I’ve found the supermarket run by the chinese party poopers I don’t have to concern myself with the constant shutting down, they work all the hours god sends!

Been busy sorting out Christmas this morning (yes I mentioned Christmas in September shoot me) and for the first time in decades I'm doing something different. This year we're having two Christmas' (yep greeeedy) one in Spain where we'll all fly out on the 17th Dec and then return just in time for the real deal which we're having at the boys place. I've booked a nice restaurant just across the road from where they live so not a lot of cooking (on that day anyway) and then we'll return back home Boxing Day and resume the traditional stuff. The flights are booked, the hire car's booked, the kennels are booked, a pop up Christmas tree for Spain is ordered and tbh I'm so excited (and a little bit nervous) to be doing something other than the usual slog that I've got mild butterflies

Phew, that got a bit worrying for a minute or two.

I’m not getting drawn into yet another “the youth of today don’t know they’re born” conversation.

The homeless figures for Bristol have been reasonably static for the last three years, but I imagine it’s worse since that was made in 2015

It’s possible but you can’t base that off forgetting your keys, that happens at any age. Particularly with young people!

My email notifications from here end up in junk which I don't often check. Some people don't open emails from unfamiliar addresses either so I suppose it depends whether he'd recognise your email address as you. Anywhichway it's odd. Hope he's ok.

An exciting schedule

When you look at that you understand the surveys that show rural areas are relatively poorer but still report much higher levels of happiness.

I had an LS2 adventure helmet and left it in Kathmandu, didn't care at the time, regretted it since, it was a really good helmet. That looks like a helmet ring (knock yourself out Pete) holds your lid upside down while you piss about with the straps and the liner etc without scratching your visor.

Phoning the samaritans comes after interacting with other forum members not before.

It's ok Peter no-ones going to make you buy any bike, unless its a Honda then you absolutely must have one, they are the best bikes ever.

The air version of that works very well, Mr Slowly rates it highly, don't know about the gel one though, report back won't you.

Did they enjoy your hopeless boomer opinions on developing countries though

Donkeys ago when I read he was a sex addict I remember thinking "that must be difficult looking like that, cos no-one would want to sleep with it"
