Is there a "Dislike" button on here.?

Tried!!!!.....they are doing a fucking good job of it.

Beach racing back on this winter with luck!..

Maplethorpe.........Looked on the UK map......nowhere to be found. Sod it.....I will go to Mablethorpe instead.

Fuck off to where?.........Minorca, yeh Minorca.

When does your winter set in?

As many say....trade him for Anne Sacoolas.

Seem to think he looked a bit like Phil Mitchell off EastEnders............but not sure cos I don't watch Eastender.........yeh!...he would be Dirty Den........whoever the fuck Dirty Den is....

I think (if I remember correctly) there was 3 guys in the photo......or was it 2........is it dinner time yet?.....I forget.

Thanks for the offer of free coffee!.......but my appointment took presidence.

There was a long range (grainy) photo on the other forum......................but was it him?....who knows, only @Six30

And fun in the water?.

http://www.shirebrookmotorcycles.co.uk/ A busy place at times....it looks like the Open all Hours shop......without the veg.

Yes, a tyre for the scoot, and I will ride there on the scoot....only 1 (poor) bike shop in Mansfield, another a few miles away, but they are (in my opinion) a bit of a rip off place, top prices for everything they sell........where I go is a old fashioned cycle/motorcycle shop......reasonable prices, and if they ain't got it, 9 times out of 10 they will get it withing 2 days.

Off to order a new front tyre this morning......only a 15 mile round trip....

No heatwave for us....which is fine by me..............40c....nope, your welcome to it.

Putting my fleece on, it's a bit nippy at moment.

Hot aches!!..... remember suffering from them after hours sledging on the hill in the village. Did not suffer them again till around 1975 when riding back from 1st wife's in law's in Chester le Street.......was in March, set off in reasonable weather, but within 10 minute of riding the temp plunged, all the way back, sleet and snow, think my hands where cold and wet for most of the ride home......oh the pain.

Never happened to our house..............only had water to the kitchen sink. In the outside bog my dad kept a paraffin burner on low, or the water in the cistern and pan would freeze up if he did,not.......... glad it was a wooden lav seat.

There were some good times in the 60,s . My dad got his 1st car in 1963.....a huge Austin 16.....he looked after that car like my mum did the house. Every Sunday he would religiously wash it, and clean out the interior, then polish the seats, resulting in anyone sat in the back sliding from one side to the other on corners.....any corner, as the Austin 16 did not do fast in any shape of form. He was able to buy the car courtesy of my mum........she won...wait for it!!.... £500 at the local bingo hall........which would be equivalent to around £10,000 nowdays.....it also paid for her to visit her sister in America. That year I got everything I asked for at Christmas.

How did we survive!!....no central heating, the bog was outside. Continental quilts/duvets unheard of.....had so may blankets on the bed that it was nigh on impossible to turn over
