  1. All pics should be approved by a specially selected panel before they’re able to be submitted along with a completed application form stating all the necessaries, legitimacy of claim to own the bike, proof of date photo taken, correct dimensions, no alterations or enhancement, it must be outside and they can’t submit the same bike two months in a row. Did I forget any other lunatic rules?
  2. Hmm the last day tickets are 16.00 so not exactly stargazing time.
  3. Looks worth it. The Observatory itself has no availability until February 2025 and is €519 per night. Not sure I’d want to stay overnight at that altitude, last time it gave me crushing head pains and I’d already acclimatised to the 1500 metre mark prior so a straight up to 2800 metres doesn’t much appeal. There are hotels/apartments down at the bottom of the cable car and thats over 1000 metres lower which would be better on the the ol’ red cells and kinder to the wallet! But does the cable car still run after dark ie would you get to see the stars?!
  4. Might need to do some altitude training first
  5. Sure is The Pic de Midi observatory wow! That is going on my list.
  6. Forgot all about it. Just finished the first one. A good watch. The Pyrenees are so beautiful. Even Portillo’s just about palatable, but WTF is he wearing - an overcoat in the mountains
  7. For anyone living under a rock that’s The White Stripes
  8. Well most of the time I forget and last month yours was the best pic so there’s that.
  9. Too late it’s gone, I wrote the post and immediately set about eradicating the animal living on my head!
  10. Good to know I’m not going to be locked into the world of skunk forever
  11. Tbh I stopped looking at the BOTM thread a while ago when it went rule mad. But if six enters thats who I vote for first. Then I’ll randomly move it to whoever has the least votes (usually you, you topbox horror shop) then eventually on the last switch I’ll actually look at the photos and vote for the pic I like best. If I remember
  12. Decided that now I’m 50 I’d let my grey hair grow and embrace it. Well turns out I’m still only grey in a strip down the centre of my head. I look like I’d be a good fit for someone.. Edit- I’m 51 not 50, it’s ok to start forgetting that stuff now right?
  13. Tis global Pete. Spain sits between the UK and France for resistant staph with the US top of the charts. Although theres not a huge amount in it numbers wise. But I wouldn’t worry about it. Even if it caused you a problem they’re much better at recognising and treating it now, there are still antibiotics that work, they’re just the ones that fell out of favour for causing GI upsets.
  14. Nothing, it’s a city. Tis the same if not more upmarket than decades ago, fighting gentrification in fact. But if you will go comparing it to Swansea..
  15. Back up from stooges, very Trump. Independent enquiry needed and not the IOPC sort where the investigators are ex-police. You need a truly independent spirit like… zzzak. Yep that’d be fun Hope I remember to vote switch repeatedly this time, I forgot last time.
  16. If you were from Brizzle you’d immediately assume he was nicking it too
  17. Your blood tests and ECG are an hour apart? That’d would trigger a complaint in the NHS
  18. It was Pete, the Pedro post is a diversion.
  19. He’s just the poor sod that works in the pub and drew the short straw, ‘ere theres a barrel going awol, you go, no you go, but I haven't brought mi waders, tough shit
  20. I think so, Sauls posted these type of pics before. I seem to remember him saying they’re used to it.
  21. So do people just stay in the pub until the tide goes back out?
  22. He can’t reply he’s busy hoovering.
