    Sounds like a lovely experience. Ive always enjoyed the ritual part of tea n coffee making. Particularly tea, waiting for the kettle to boil, watching the leaves swirl around for just the right length of time, a peaceful 15 mins before the drinks ready.

    When I used to drink coffee the Aeropress saved me from drinking all sorts of dire coffee. Met a guy a couple of weeks ago who takes a tiny stove and weeny chair with him and stops at any view he prefers to have his coffee. Sounds good to me. Maybe a small stove and an Aeropress might provide the balm? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Aerobie-AeroPress-A80-Coffee-Maker/dp/B000GXZ2GS/ref=sr_1_4?adgrpid=104166745093&dchild=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrvqY-6_U8QIVW-vtCh19UwWNEAAYASAAEgI5mfD_BwE&hvadid=448944890121&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9045656&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=7709846566093587436&hvtargid=kwd-301155172040&hydadcr=19143_1810891&keywords=aeropress+coffee+maker&qid=1625778263&sr=8-4

    “Not so splendid as your mighty erections I imagine.” Thats the one stand out line from a diabolical film of yesteryear (1990) called three men and a little lady (I was on a ferry and it was all that was showing, well thats my excuse), annoyingly Ive remembered it since, surprisingly its not a quote that gets a lot of airing

    Funny, I prefer the look of the bike

    Sounds likes youve made up your mind though! 7 hours is pretty damn good off the bat although I suppose you have to be comfortable to repeat that more than one day in a row. Can you just change what youre doing if the joints need a rest or would it be a ‘stick to the schedule’ type thing?

    @MooN great stuff. Where are you planning to go for 3 or 4 days and how long did you manage (time wise) in the saddle?

    Delta variant has been prevalent in this country for a very long time now and the death toll hasn’t risen because of it. There will at some point maybe 6 months, maybe a year be a variant thats is truly resistant but right now its just fear being used to help people accept control. When enough of Spain is vaccinated (assuming their snail like pace gets the job done before a genuinely resistant strain appears) suddenly they’ll change their tune in exactly the same way they have here.

    If the percentage of people who have have had both vaccinations is low (sounds like if 60-69 year olds are still waiting they are very low) then I can understand the govt considering partial lockdown/curfew measures. Crap though that is for you.
  12. Slowlycatchymonkey
    Do you know percentage of the population has had two jabs?
  13. Slowlycatchymonkey
    Is the hospitalisation and death rate going up?
  14. Slowlycatchymonkey
    Better but still missing the mark.
  15. Slowlycatchymonkey
    Meh three15 half baked.
  16. Slowlycatchymonkey
    Two syllables!

    Only if you promise Ill be reduced to a monosyllabic knuckle dragger who regularly manages the unadulterated simplicity of statements like “gay” or “twat” or does that requires the book/icepick lobotomy package?
  18. Slowlycatchymonkey
    If it produces witty banter like “or Slowfuckymonkey and her flower thread.” its a must read. I’m guessing if you know about it it must be available on audible?

    Aw three15 come on now, this is an embracing thread for all abilities, it doesnt matter if your on book level one or are only able to manage the Beano your review will be laughed at valued. How was Spiderman?
  20. Slowlycatchymonkey
    Brilliant. Its so true Ex Pats dont think they’re immigrants. Oh dear now Ive stopped laughing I’m despairing
  21. Slowlycatchymonkey
    Oh Sophia you were already on dodgy ground worshipping Pedro but thats sealed it, philistine.
  22. Slowlycatchymonkey
    So it does

    Finished Hunter S Thompsons Hells Angels about a month ago and what a relief that was, tedious and repetitive. Gave some interesting insights but not worth trudging through it for them. The book flip flops between saying they’re not the violent criminals theyre portrayed to be but yes they are violent and criminal, an angry underclass of misfits born into bad circumstances and nowhere else to belong. It proceeds along those lines for many many pages simultaneously sympathising with them and then pointing at them like theyre trash. I can see why Sonny Barger didnt think a lot of it but if you have an interest in that type of club culture you might like it, it wasnt for me, cant remember the last time it took me so long to finish reading a book. Next up another book Ive avoided reading ‘Long way round’ by the much maligned Charley Boorman and Ewan McGregor.

    £3.99 plus £4.50 P&P for it to end up in the bin, definitely a no.

    Thats plenty enough for anyone! Although I would consider a fish tank, staring at a fish tank is very good for the blood pressure, like natures lava lamp and I understand there are companies in bristol that are happy to maintain the tank for you (for a fee) so perhaps a nice fish tank would be good. A 15 year old duck? Crikey how long do they live?
