Would not have cut my engine!

Crohns really sucks. I'm a coeliac and the occasions I've been given a gluten poisoning from some idiotic restaurant/cafe staff and still had to ride have been truly diabolical. That\s one of the reasons I carry so much stuff on the touring bike, a lot of the time I'd prefer to use my own food rather than risk it. She has my heartfelt sympathies.

Test rode an Indian Scout and really loved it. Still think about it now.

You can keep your real Spain, swimming pools and aircon are the dogs. Along with palm trees, good views, nice places to eat, grocery delivered, brit teabags in the local supermarket, everything you need only 10 mins away and microclimate that doesn't suffer the rain or temperature extremes. Enjoy sweating mwahahahaaaa.

Nowadays you can end up on the sex offenders register. A bit much for needing a pee!

When I was a little more dignified I used to take this type of thing with me so if there are no loos you can pee in a field/behind a hedge but still protect your modesty by wrapping it around your waist. Then I went to the Himalayas where alfresco peeing is totally normal and no-one gives a hoot, I still find a reasonbaly out of view spot though, one doesn't fancy an indecent exposure charge I expect photos from the butchers of fat steaks and thick burgers https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073S5835H/ref=sspa_dk_detail_4?pd_rd_i=B073S5835H&pd_rd_w=zQHDo&content-id=amzn1.sym.84ea1bf1-65a8-4363-b8f5-f0df58cbb686&pf_rd_p=84ea1bf1-65a8-4363-b8f5-f0df58cbb686&pf_rd_r=N65NW79PCTS0R1ZDEXHV&pd_rd_wg=tAz8Z&pd_rd_r=663923f6-928b-41f1-87ce-2239199025aa&s=outdoors&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWw&th=1

I forgot about those department stores. Great idea. Nearest one is 35 mins away though. Found a Chinese supermarket that's 30-40 mins away depending on traffic and it's en route from the airport. That'll have to do. The Alcampo here's not bad, they even sell gluten free soy sauce, they just miss selling crucial ingredients like Chinese five spice which is a weird one to skip if you sell other Asian ingredients. I guess the people in charge of the stock don't make Chinese food Did find a well reviewed Chinese restaurant 20 mins from here so maybe they'll be able to tell me where to shop.

For gods sake Pete stop pressing his buttons or we'll be listening to Chesney Hawkes new theme tune My God the One and Only

I'm trying to face up to making some cushion covers from some extremely difficult fabric my son chose. So far I've managed three cups of tea and a long search on Chinese supermarkets round here. Did you know there are approx 290,000 brits in Spain and 230,000 Chinese people. And yet the nearest Asian supermarket is 45 minutes away. Unless I venture into Granada which I can't be arsed to do for some noodles

Where's the "it has to go, lost faith in it, needs to be 100% reliable" speech about the Picarshole then?

Oh Pete you're fooling no-one, give it up and just lower the damn thing, everyone knows you're a shortarse

Apparently they still do a nice cup of tea and scone.

Also thats a sadly empty bag

Another aliexpress algorithm special?

@boboneleg I did not know the oldest Methodist meeting place is smack bang in the centre of Bristol???! How does a place that big disappear in the centre of the shops? World in Bristol for over 20 years so I find that unbelievable. A 'library' of 9000 books of the methodist religion and a room of worship replete with benches dating from the 1700's tucked behind Boots chemist?!! Crazy!

Had a video meeting about the cost of replacing the kitchen in the flat I want for my sons. Went well apart from A, the cost. B, not expecting to be facetimed while sitting on the sofa drinking tea. Always professional

Where's Mr LackOfDataRoamingSirFallsALot? and Mr Hererandomly (soz thats me too) @Tango? It's not good enough!

Give him a break, an inability to do things correctly mechanically is going to discombobulate a maladroit.

He's pretending he's not a property mogul and thats not his pool net. Oh yeh.

Spend five mins here n you'll quickly deduce you're all anally fixated. You'd think bikes were the common ground but no, it's men's arses. So does this make me... a .. fag ..hag..

So a t-shirt is the man equivalent of ice cream? Run Buck run!

Ice cream?

No it's not. That doesn't sound like your typical waterproof bin bag?!

I have a very nice set of Alan keys. With one missing. Just one. Drives me nuts. JUST PUT IT BACK WHERE YOU GO IT FROM, ITS NOT THAT DIFFICULT. I have a second secret tool kit they don't know about

Mr Slowly occasionally uses a Richa waterproof jacket and it is a good jacket. Well made and does the job. Only problem with it is it's lined so it's thick. This makes it warm (too warm for Spain) and it's bulky ie doesn't pack down small.
