Yeh.....it seems some have had water pump issues......but mine has been fine.

Just to let you know that there might be a slight break in transmission this afternoon while the server gets upgraded to MySQL 8.

The thing is, if you're down to a basic State pension then just making ends meet is a challenge.

He's got a new craze now!

Bob's DR for me!

And it don't get any easier Bob. Every year it gets a little bit harder. But at least we're facing up to reality......there's a lot that don't!

I think you'll need a Lottery win for that!

Deflecting again then?

How many kids you got? Or is that a secret as well?

What does that entail Fred?

OK.....time to tell us how good, or bad, 2023 was for you. In my case it was one of the worst of all time. I went into it suffering from Long Covid, and then came the most severe case of flu I've ever known. That went on for about two months, with multiple doses of antibiotics for secondary infections. The resulting cough was so strong that it caused the fucking Hernia. Then the grandkids left the town in early May. It was sad to see them go, but that was offset somewhat by the jubilation of seeing Fatty fuck off! Everybody who ever had any contact with her in the town thought she was really fucking weird! I then spent the rest of the year having to carry the Hernia as best I could. Getting on and off the bike was difficult, any bump or movement when riding was unpleasant, and when I could get off it any standing or walking gave me a lot of grief. Ended up only doing about 2500kms / 1500 miles in the entire year. December 5th I had the op.......meaning I couldn't ride over Xmas and New Year. At the moment I'd estimate mid to late January before I can get back out! Though knowing my luck the weather will be hell by then and put the kybosh on it. Livin' the fucking dream I am! Anyway.......tell us about your 2023?

No.....that's fine!

You get one submission!

@Pedro.....just so you're aware, you don't need to download and reupload the pics. Just get the image link for each and paste using the "Other Media" tab.

Still more than you managed you wannabe!

I've only done about 1000 miles since May Alan.

My next adventure is being able to get back on the bike!

Finally finished all 7 seasons of Cold Case! Kept me going throughout my recovery period.......now I've got to find something else.

So some people (like you) don't even ride once a month?

We've got loads of BOTY submissions.....so why so few entries every month in BOTM?

It'll look a mess.
