Cheers mate, the added complication is that she is prone to epileptic seizures but the last one was just over two years ago so the diet we have her on is definitely working. We have to be careful as like all Labradors she’d eat anything………she could be part goat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best car driving memories I have is causing a row of Tour de France style cyclists to go down like a house of cards. Approaching the roundabout they were negotiating using a very racy line on a very wet road, I act surprised and only stop right behind the white line (where you should stop), this caused just enough of a distraction for the leader to weave a bit, the leader caused the second guy to brake and slide off, and this caused the following 5 or 6 guys to do the same. All this and I'm stopped looking at them laughing, without having entered the roundabout. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this and I'm stopped looking at them laughing, without having entered the roundabout. The funniest memory like that for me was back when i had my old YZ490, i used to ride through the local forestry to get to the coal tip to play and used the same route every time so i knew it well. The one part was a Stoney track about 6ft wide, it started with a 50 yard dash off the forestry road to an S bend and after that it was a long right hand curve about quarter of a mile long up a steep hill through the trees with an even steeper drop off into the trees to the left, after the S bend i'd have the throttle wide open and just kick it up the box as i'd done many times before there, but this time as i approached the top two mountain bikers appeared and the cocks were side by side it happened so fast i didn't hit the brakes until i was on top of them, the one on the right just fell against the banking but the one on the left went over the edge into the forestry, i only stopped to see if he survived and judging by the way he was clambering back up to the track waving his fist at me he did so i just fucked off, Never went over there again because it was the time when mountain bikes started becoming popular they spoilt a lot of places for me fucking hate the entitled pricks with the exception of the ones on here of course 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
