I'm going on my boat trip on Sunday, the one to see the WW2 forts. A delightful trip on a summer's day or four and a half hours of chucking my guts up, who can tell? I visited Strange Dave last night. He has a new part time job. He shoots rabbits, squirrels and rats for pest control. His gun sight has a video function, so I got treated to many rodent deaths, they don't know when to give up when shot, I'll say that for them. One of his regular jobs is a warehouse full of old loaves of bread which gets chopped up to go into animal feed. The piles are swarming with rats at night, he said it's nearly made him turn vegetarian as the bread must be full of rats' piss. I watched the gunsight films of mass slaughter, all the rats have glowing eyes in the night scope.

Pizza, everyone should have a back up job.

Beat me to it there.

By the time they finish swapping out parts as they find more problems you will only have that top box left of the original bike. Henceforth your bike shall be known as TRIGGER'S BIKE. The terrible thing is, the top box is Italian.

What are the chances of it pouring oil all over the garage floor, maybe we can narrow the manufacturer down?

Yamaha 700 or a Honda Africa Twin.

Going to be 32 degrees and sunny here tomorrow according to the Met's graph of lies. I've lowered my screen a tad in readiness for tomorrow's journeys. I shall still take my waterproofs cos they is lying bastards at the Met Office.

A knot will sort all of them.

I didn't even know they had Butlins in Spain??

Trying out my new intercom thingie that i had just fitted to my crash hat and I had youtube running on my phone. Because I have listened to the Lime in the Coconut song last time this came up instead by the same bloke. Jigging round the kitchen with my crash helmet on, love it.

I feel your pain about unreliable bikes. I've had to replace a headlight bulb on the Yamaha already and it's only done 19,000 miles. Friday afternoon build I reckon.

I recall you saying that the ST10 weighed too much and the BMW would be lighter, but I didn't think the weight advantage was because it wouldn't be with you most of the time. Is this what BMW mean about a low centre of gravity?

Congratulations, it's your WORK Jubilee this year then. What you need is a little job that gets you up in the morning, out in the fresh air but isn't too taxing.

He's a just dancing man Kathleen. This is exactly how a lot of the Irish roadworkers speak, they have a way with the words. When I asked one of them what their new supervisor was like he replied, 'Well I'll tell you. He's a grand fella..... but I wouldn't want to pay for his breakfast!' This was his polite way of saying he was signing off on the wages fairly but was also a fat bastard.

That's eerie, I know the Save The George Tavern campaign and it is nowhere near where they roll the cheese. It's a very old pub in Stepney that everyone seems to want to pull down and the landlady is forever fighting them off. https://thegeorgetavern.london/shop/save-the-george-tavern-white-t-shirt

Get the spill kit ready for its return.

That's your modern lean police budgets for you, they're keeping the jam sandwiches going for as long as they can.
