Eat sprouts the day before hand so you are primed and ready!

I found a small type written envelope in an old cardboard box, I thought it was a reference from my first job, but it turned out to be my school reference. Reading it now, they definitely had me sussed, if I didn't think it was interesting I didn't bother, hence the U grade in Chemistry O Level when I just filled in my name and two joke answers. The man signing it, Ken Drury, my headmaster in the final years, was at school with my Mum, she hated him, told me he was a knob. She reckoned he failed his 11 plus, but he seems to have caught up at some point by the look of his qualifications. He died a few years ago according to the local paper.

Heineken don't build sandcastles, but if they did.....

And now GET THAT WASP OFF MY SANDWICH

This in memory of Cookie, a professional northerner (If Blackburn is properly northern) who was a big Saw Doctors fan and would walk around the office with his t-shirt inscribed with the words GET THAT WASP OFF MY SANDWICH. First song is live and hard to hear but worth straining your ears for the lyrics. Second song is the subject of the first song.

Shout that out loud as you try to wrestle a bloke to the floor in a bar and I guarantee he will run away.

Seeing as he's sadly just popped his clogs, two vids

I did an image search of Gnats and Hawks and the only easily visible difference to my old eyes is the rear tail plane is lower than the main wings on a Gnat, and higher then the main wings on a Hawk. Gnat Hawk

A gnat?

Absolutely cracking.

I had to look up Argan oil. It mentioned the traditional way of extracting it!!! A tradition in some areas of Morocco allows goats to climb argan trees to feed freely on the fruits. The kernels are then later retrieved from the goat droppings, considerably reducing the labour involved in extraction at the expense of some potential gustatory aversion.

This picture makes me dizzy and I am not sure why.

Never play leapfrog with a unicorn

If a man speaks in a forest but there is no woman to hear it, is he still wrong?

So it was already a warmed up engine, weird, you would think it would love bump starting, it's being contrary, it needs a good kicking with heavy boots on or a Basiling with a large tree branch.

As it's cold have you got the choke on and using second gear rather than first?

I didn't even know Darby and Jones clubs were a thing there?

Is it a kick/electric start model or just electric start? Is it carbed or FI?

Taken this morning. They had to drag me to school when I was little as well.

It's started

I seem to see faces everywhere, probably some sort of illness. Or watching to much HR Pufanstuff as a child.

We had the same in some places. I assumed it was the whole Moslem thing about only God can make anything in the image of man, it's not seemly for humans to do the same. The same reason you only get fancy patterns in Mosques, not images of God, saints or prophets. I recall getting annoyed with one of our group and telling him off when I saw he was trying to take a photograph of a girl who wasn't comfortable with that and him offering her money.

I clicked on the 'like' wossname, but that isn't really the most appropriate reaction. A very personal and honest ride report, I am looking forward to reading the rest.

I just let the bike sit and if the bike didn't want to start come the day I would take the battery off and charge it normally like they did back in the 20th century. I think it's drip feeding day in day out that kills them, but it's only a theory.

Pedro, are these your meunkeys?
