Nope, nothing exciting, soz At some indeterminable point around Christmas everyone decides to either clear their desk or realises “oh shite this has to be done by next year” - cue flurry of work and don’t get to bed til well after 1am every day, last night 2am. Snore. Exciting was the ride to the airport out on exposed viaducts in the mountains with torrential rain, thunder, lighting, hail and a sky so dark it was like night. Thought about sacking it off but as Pedro kinda guessed boys excited I’m coming home and booked an everyone home banquet for Friday And am British so in my DNA to do stupid shit, didn’t book a car and rode to the airport anyway. Todays ride was hairy. Gonna buy some super reflective gear

Not the best job to be honest...but looks much better...now he has the job of making good his mess....numerous screws in the wall that he used to hold up the cables.....and he has to remove the trunking that goes up the side of the door......keep him busy...if daughter can get him off of FIFA football game for a hour.

Just had a call from my boy to pick up the grandkids at 3.30 for a couple of hours. The wife bought a Xmas tree yesterday so they can help her decorate it.

Waiting for my car to defrost.....doors are frozen to door seal strips. Then going to try and tidy up son in laws attempt to route cables to their new TV (will post a photo of the mess he made later) he ain't got a clue.

I had a bit of black guttering screwed to the wall once. It hid everything perfectly although I did have to buy some longer leads. I've now got our tele where the old fire place was and put some drain pipe with a 90 at each end in with the brick work. Once again I had to get some longer leads but there's not a wire in sight.

Fuck knows...how is mind works....iam rerouting them at the base of the skirting board.....it will look a load better.....fucking stupid place for a TV....he has a full wall next to the sky box..but no..put it on the opposite wall...

a work of art

Wifey did our tree the other day...its one that comes out of the box fully decorated..just have to position the branches....lazy persons tree.

Toty nomination right there

I told him to put some Christmas lights on the cables

It's very low consumption... Had proper candles on our old tree..

She would be posting here if that was the case. She'll be home cooking a 5 dish meal for her sons and getting hammered. Or, @Slowlycatchymonkey, going on a big multy day motorcycle ride around the UK too busy to take two pictures and post a ride report!

That’s not a tree … this is a tree

Winterising it

Just asking for a friend can non forum members me nominated for TOTY? I'm sure there would be endless nominations if we can

I was just about to post this myself @Tango but wondered if it would be wrong for a mod to post politics. There again it's not politics, it's the fucking truth

Clearly he is making them less of an eye sore!

Hope it doesn't eat through your electricity allowance mate

Fucking working like a madman again. And it's still pissing down......but there's light at the end of the tunnel now! So I may be getting my new tyre and handguards fitted next week!

Ordered a heated towel rail for our bog a couple of weeks ago. Company sent an email to say it's been shipped and gave the tracking link. When it hadn't turned up after a week I looked at the tracking link and the delivery company show it as still with the supplier. I emailed the supplier to ask them to investigate........no reply! Emailed them again to investigate........still no reply! Because there's so many scammers around I always pay by PayPal, so I'll give them until the end of the week and if I don't hear from them I'll get onto PayPal to get my money back. Meanwhile, it's bloody freezing in the bog at the moment! One thing I have learned since being here is that customer service can be extremely sketchy! Either brilliant or complete shit. There seems to be no in-between!

Neither have we … but the mrs finds it… the twat

I’ve got a fat skying raindeer that stays on all year

Keep watching banged up abroad we may see her

True, mine gets a bit jittery over 180mph.

Wah-hey , she's back. So..................... spill the beans then ................. anything exciting

28 minutes including paring the joints and cleaning the industrial mincing machine afterwards.

I see plenty of squashed gonads after riding that

Holy shit! I thought I was fucking hopeless but that's a whole new level! And why has he got the wires going right up the wall?

Hopefully there were no gravel traps on the way to the airport LOL

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

I knew about Everts vs. Carmichael, but not about this, what a race from Herlings

I cannot get in the car till the rubber seals have fully defrosted......I dare not pull on the door handle too hard as they are quite flimsy......end up with the handle in my hand and not attached to the car..

Today we made it through the first of three mountain passes that we will travel over this trip. It was scary at first, but then I settled into the flow. The vehicles did great but that highway driving in the winter is something special in terms of dirty….. Wow!

It's got a silly small front wheel though. Makes sense, a 450 WATER cooled must surely be the basis for a sports bike!

Modern looking

Not really........I don't have the facilities, tools or patience to work on anything nowadays. Changing a spark plug...air filter and oil change is about my limit now.

All offers considered.................

That's pot calling kettle, we could say the same to you

Our snow has nearly all melted now but it's still feckin freezing . I wonder if @Slowlycatchymonkey managed to get to Bristol as loads of flights were diverted last night, some went to Paris
