They look great @Sofia they suit the bike well. Have you a ride planned?

The Mini Cooper S Love what they represented, how they came about and that despite all their faults theyre really fun to drive, more like a dodgem than a car. Love how they arrived on the rally scene and frightened the competition. Had two old minis, one countryman and one clubman. Neither liked to start if it was raining and required a very specific amount of choke, throttle and correct timing to get them started, mess it up the first time and you were going to be sitting around for a looooong time while it decided when it was gonna start. Loved them both. Id like another one really but the price of them now is ridiculous.

So your soup is a meal of beef and noodles in liquid? ??? The soups sounds nicely sidestepped ??

Nope thats no good either. My understanding of what Americans and Canadians call biscuits are what we would call a scone (same recipe) and that is definitely looking like a cheese scone. And an excellent choice to go with soup ? Not sure what you’d call a cobbler though but reckon that would float your boat too.

In New Zealand Easter weekend is all about ?kill the babbit? Wonder what the kiddywinks make of it? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/apr/05/new-zealand-easter-bunny-hunt-pest?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Thanks for giving this a bump @Grasshopper's Ride the pics are great. Love how verdant it is and Pedro’s enjoyment of food. Pairing a view with an autumn ride and cheese and chorizo is great. Might add antihistamines to a back pocket before returning.

Just how cool are you?

I had money on you picking up on that ?

Happy Easter you filthy animals. Got a lot of roasting and baking stuff to get on with today so necessary to lubricate the day with plenty of wine. What time is it acceptable to start on the vino? I’m thinking 11am ?

I’m with Boboneleg on this, those tyres aren’t up to much. I also still have the stock tyres on the bike and a better set waiting to go on. Not done for the same reasons as you but they’ll be going on now, thanks for the warning ?

Cos

You’re the only person Ive read mentioning this is a low rent low quality forum but what’s more telling is the lack of members disagreeing with you, god I love low brow ?

Sounds like and excellent recipe for enchiladas

Aaw come on spill the beans.. or the fro or the stu, get the laundry out ?

Yer. Off to cook up a storm for the ingrates. If I’m back on here talking more shite than usual later you’ll know why ?

Dont give a stuff about other people, it was all for me. Happy now though, son rang from supermarket (they made made it out cos they’d used all the bloody hot water ?) so I requested a £15 bottle of Chablis. Back on top of the world ?

Yer but he would be welcome wouldnt he. He has been missed. And its always nice when people get on again.

TLDR Thought I was going out but I’m not. Today was to be an exciting day for me. I was planning on going to the supermarket just because I can and to a shop to pick up a click n collect order, then to a friends house to drop off Easter eggs. It would have been my first day out (other than on the bike) in over a year. I kid you not, Ive avoided all supermarkets and contact with the outside world for a year due to having too many vulnerable/at risk people around me but now theyre jabbed and I’m free ? So I get my jobs done and go down the yard to train (a bit of rowing and yoga) then lay out a dress and new boots (that have stayed in their box since I bought them over a year ago), just normal stuff that Ive not worn or done for so long it no longer feels normal. I get overwhelmingly excited at the prospect and even have a glass of wine at lunch time. Whoop whoop. I turn on the shower to discover theres no hot water. NO BLOODY BASTARD HOT WATER. FFS. AARGH!! Heyho better have a glass of wine ? purely medicinal you understand to help with putting the new boots back in their box back and everything back in the wardrobe ??

Who knows the political bias of folk who pay millions to live in a terraced house in a crowded city, Monster Raving Loony party? ?

No, I have no idea why young people shun forums with there grangrangrangry papa’s ?

Yep I’ll concede on this one, you’re looking fine.

Superb! Colonel Steve Austin lives ?

No Daytona on the list. The highest quality most reliably waterproof boot available. I’ve walked through water in them more than once, not a drop of water got through. Yes I could have walked over water but my Jesus mode was playing up.

You’ve gone soft in your old age? Jesus this is a softer version?!?
