Hello!

Never liked Meatloaf much, but enjoyed his acting. Never heard of the other band.

I seem to have spent the day doing something but not too sure what. What day is it anyway?

I've had them since I was three, except for off and on in my teens when vanity was more important than being able to see!

How dreadful. I seem to have dust in my eyes.

If I can’t ride a bike, that’ll be it. Car. No trikes or scooters for me thanks. Rode a few different scoots as curtesy bikes and hated them. Can’t filter on a trike as its footprint is almost as big as a small car. No, it’ll be a car for me. Or maybe a van.

Hello!

I went on the bike to the shop for a few bits. Only a mile but I managed to stretch it to eight and a half along the lanes. People out everywhere walking, and hordes of the Lycra clad brigade. Twas good for the soul though.

Amazing scenery.

Rather excellent. Thanks.

They don't like bikes. Just blanket charges according to cubic capacity rather than emissions like cars. My car BMW 520d £30. Bike BMW R1200GS £91. s

I hope that Tesco are paying you commission @Sir Fallsalot ?

Just put the tax on fuel and be done with it. The more miles you do, the more you pay. Maybe that's too easy.

I prefer iPhones.

Always the same approaching land in the tropics after a prolonged spell at sea. You could smell the jungle and earth.

When I had my Yamaha RD250 in the early seventies, I had to blip all the time because the bloody thing would keep oiling up one plug or the other, and it was the only way to stop it from stalling. The second cylinder would usually fire up half way around a corner in the wet, causing a huge pucker factor. Always kept me alert!

Hi!

I shall now be able to sleep easy! Thanks @boboneleg

I know that place, can’t remember where it is, and it’s doing my head in. ?

Hello!

A bloke in Bangor caught me pissing on his wall in Bangor during the National Eisteddfod week in 1971. I apologised profusely stating that I wouldn't have pissed on it had I realised that it was his wall. He seemed placated, and bemused. No cops fortunately. Might have been a bit underaged at the time. ?

That’d really freak out the neighbours! Excellent. Left my respirator on my last ship as it took up too much space in my luggage. Would have been useful now.

Was in a club with her when this bloke turned up giving her grief. As he went to thump her, I got my punch in first, as you do, laid him out, then two of his mates joined in. When the bouncers turned up they realised that I was Welsh and joined in as well. I got used as a football down some stairs. Cracked my nose and headache for a couple of weeks. Transpires that the guy who started it shared a cell with the woman's ex and was out to cause trouble. Savages. Cops came along and wanted to press charges but I let it go, thinking that revenge is best served cold. I was up there years later but the club had closed down. Shit happens.

@Titie got back from Columbia by the skin of his teeth. There’s a story there if the lazy bugger can shift his arse to posting.
