Four fuckin' C. Gonna freeze going home today. Is it at least sunny? Makes all the difference in those temperatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fallsalot Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Went to bed early last night with a pounding headache not like me to have them at all but up early this morning getting ready for a weekend in cider country on the bike with the wife. Going to a motorcycle rally near Banwell, hopefully not as sick and twisted as the ones Yen goes to and not as gay as the ones Buckster attends 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember his name now. He's done a few wheels for me but wheel builders are almost impossible to find now.

Here's something that may be of interest to you Yen. When they did a hole somewhere here, they always get an audience of locals that just stand around the hole and watch them work. They'll stand there for hours just looking in the hole! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind that, when they start a proper building in a city they obviously have to dig deep for the foundations and underground garages and whatever, that goes on for weeks and those construction fans, usually retired older men, peek holes through the fence to investigate the progress, it's quite the show apparently! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
