Holyfeckinmoly they must have been BOILING! I'm cold blooded (the aircons currently on 25 and my feet are freezing' ) but I only wear a mesh jacket in this weather. Bet their gear stinks!

You have a point, if even a bike jonah like you can’t break it they must have something going for them

I’ve just bought a shelter cos spending time here has made waiting for a non-rainy day in the UK annoying. I didn’t notice it before but now if a dry day appears on the forecast all I want to do is ride my bike but they’ll be sodding jobs piled up that can only be done outside waiting. Riding instead of doing the job you’re supposed to do is fine at the time but as soon as it’s over you’re back to hovering over the bastid forecast again! Immediately after I bought it I discover xlmoto do the same sort of thing but much cheaper

If you survived

Urrr no, you don't find the idea of saying that to Tyson Fury's face funny?

Tricky. He could be a rival for an imaginary comedy award but he's more big laughs than consistent cuts, not the same as putting people back in their box with a one liner

Yep MOTY candidate for sure. If there was a comedy award Six would walk it. His love of pricking pomposity and slicing through anything even semi serious with a funny line is pretty feckin sharp. I don't think there's even a rival on that score.

Now now, you shouldn't say things behind peoples backs you wouldn't say to their face imagine that..

It's all there Pete. The solutions he comes up with that sometimes involve him making a part that actually works and does the job. His ability to laugh at or with the most annoying crap without getting his hair off. The lovely photo's with (IMO) just the right amount of colour enhancement. He does TRF rides and people come back for more. And lastly he rides stuff that most people on here wouldn't or couldn't. So yer it's in all his posts, if you read them Pete rather than skimming everything and just posting something about Brexit

Six?

Honestly nothing I’ve ever seen would make you less than A OK! Skilled and accommodating, a leader, great photographer, accommodating of all the arses around you and above all of that a great feckin rider. In fact how dare you be so rude about yourself!

Yours is IMO a bit different. For whatever reason he's damaged goods who shacked up with a nutjob and bred with her before he realised what was going on (men and their dicks, it happens) and now doesn't have the wherewithal to get himself out of the situation. Thats just sad.

Fuck that. Really just fuck that. But also yer I get it Why is he the way he is @Clive?

You waaa? You've had to spend your death fund on your kids already?

Yer death plans are quite an interesting topic. One Brits shy away from lest something unbearable like an emotion might surface, heaven forbid We've told my boys to spend as little as humanely possible on cremation, keep the ashes til they have both parents crusty remains, mix them up in a tuppaware and without asking permission from anyone go and throw them (after checking the wind direction ) off the edge of Burgh Island into the sea. Should I become infirm or suffer dementia etc they are under strict instructions to not provide my care, I'd prefer a professional to do that, well meaning relatives are all well and good in theory but they're are often shit carers so a nice care home for me, and I mean nice, the sort thats like a hotel but with one caveat, they put hidden webcams in my room so they can check up sneaky style that the staff are nice!

I don’t think it’s morbid, it’s simply practical, people who don’t make these sort of plans are a total pita for their relatives! Women do often have a level of endurance that’s see’s them truck on in ill health for donkeys years, men are more like dogs, they often don’t realise they’re ill until they die

The current plan is to just do the well trodden but beautiful roads from a Ride magazine guide. This is what I’ve been sent, we’re doing 34-37 I’m looking forward to it, I like the two I’m meeting up with a lot. Non-bitchy, non-whiny, practical and quietly tough but still somehow very nice peeps. Cue torrential rain and miserable conditions to rain all over my parade Then we’ll go our separate ways. One back to France, one to Blighty and me onto Salobreña

Definitely. It feels completely different here without them. Although he'll being riding straight(ish) down here and I'm riding over to the pyrenees to meet up with a couple of mates to piss about on some mountain roads for a few days first.

Not to sound rude but isn't it a bit of an assumption to make future care plans based on your youngest sons life? I'm sure he'd be more than willing to look after his mum but what about his new wife? It is quite a lot to ask, especially when it's usually the woman that gets lumbered with the actual care

Going back to Blighty on Monday and as much as I like wastrels it's not enough to spend my last couple of days in a new Brit Ghetto with a golfing pirate and a teabag hunter

Or Honda’s

Sorry the way you were talking it sounded like your wife would have difficulty staying in the country if you shuffled off. I guess you’re actually referring to her physical dependence and that’s somehow got mixed in with the other stuff.

Or apply for a non lucrative visa

Well said Pete, you’re always fair minded and never take part in a fruitless windup using a bit of Brit bashing. click click click.. monkey herding the IT way

Quite possibly the worst drop I’ve ever seen proffered as an actual adult drink in my life, shame on you!
