Gagging can do that to you.....

This has your name and style all over it. Wicker's a bugger to polish though.

That is a gobsmacking structure. What is that made of, is it hollow? I've heard of Reims and I have no interest in racing at all, but it has obviously been repeated enough around me to make it stick in my memory.

Green balls?

Race to Dakar by Charlie Boorman is an interesting read once you get to the part where he gets injured and it switches to the support rider's story.

If you mean the UK, that's too expensive. They've wacked all the prices up because they have a captive holiday audience for a while. Just seen a bloke in the paper who reckons they wanted £71,000 for a week in a 5 bed holiday home in Cornwall in August. He's off to Yorkshire instead now.

I wonder if I could get away with 'working from home' for a week while simultaneously spending it on a Greek island with decent wi-fi. I'll bet some wanker would call an emergency team meeting that required actually physically being there.

That's a hell of a stalk length!

The 85 bit is the turret and gun, the earlier ones weren't quite up to the task of ruining the German tankers' day.

T34/85?

I suppose I could hire a van??

No, nothing exciting to photograph.

I voted for the AT, because it is the best paint scheme for an AT plus the twisty road going into the background is also most excellent. However, I have to say the scooter on the jetty is a gorgeous picture and would have had my vote, but it is a scooter, I rode one once and nearly hit a wall when the brakes failed, also I can't swim so the water made me nervous. Edit, I should point out that the man in a Parka who let me ride his scooter said afterwards that his brakes were the best on any scooter he'd owned and they hadn't failed, they just had character.

That church in the henge must be a thing around the south west. I visited a church inside a hillfort in Cornwall, not far from Roche Rock. That's Pedro's last name isn't it.

See similar here sometimes, little sheds sitting on stone stilts with overhangs the mice/rats can't climb over.

Looking at some of your pictures, everywhere around you is a beach, it's just the sea that is a way away. (A way away???, is that right??)

Tis true, the silver fox.

Perhaps you are always accelerating or slowing when it is not so noticeable. It only drove me mad when following traffic at a steady speed.

I think this is a similar bike, no idea how much fuel it used, but I wasn't that keen on riding the thing, there seemed to be a very narrow rev range where the engine seemed happy and it never matched the speed I was doing whatever gear I put it in. Rest of it was okay though.

Just seen a video of these Japanese girls doing a duet with Rob Halford from Judas Priest. Someone didn't think it through when they chose the song, shades of Life of Bwian. The song was Painkiller and you can distinctly hear the girl singing Painkirrer at the top of her voice!

I rode a Harley once and also one of those weird Buell things. I don't think anyone saw me though. Enjoyed the Buell when it was actually moving, not so much when waiting at a red light as the vibrations made my whole body shake side to side like I had a bad case of Parkinsons. That went away as soon as the clutch lever was fully out though.

I like it, but no mention of Elsa?? No Bill Travers either?

Worth hanging on till you get past the first bit. Apparently this is a whole genre of heavy metal in Japan. If you pop the volume up to max from 1:55 onward it's quite good. Also I liked the crowd up the back doing some sort of circular marathon attempt.
