Imagine my disappointment, @Pedro, I went to all the trouble to remove my top box for 1 vote! I won't be making that mistake again!

But the bikes rarely change, so the setting or the photo is the only variable from month-to-month? But, the bike is the constant, so calling it BOTM encapsulates it for me. This reply probably makes no sense to anyone else, but I know what I mean!

I suspect that @Mawsley posted that pic primarily for this reason and the voting was also a kind of protest vote? I have nothing against the Vespa and it was a great photo, but I voted for @MooN because I liked the bike and the setting. It was a close run thing though, because I also liked Michelle's photo and @Sir Fallsalot. In fact, I liked all the photos, so maybe it was my affinity with the Triumph that swung it! Edit: I lost my train of thought in my reply. Personally I think that Bike of the Month still encapsulates the sentiment of the subject, but maybe to keep in line with current trends it ought to be called TOTWVOAVTIASOTM: Two or Three Wheeled vehicle or any vehicle that identifies as such of the Month. That should keep everyone happy?

I loved and still love the Asterix books. Sometimes some light reading like this is more fun than wading through something heavier. -

They're good for my French, as there's a fair bit of slang in them and I also enjoy them, as they're not too taxing on my basic French! -

He passed away in 2019, sadly.

Yes, he was a bit of a pioneer as well as a writer. Wind, Sand and Stars is about his exploits as an aviator I believe. He went missing during a reconnaissance flight in 1944 somewhere off the coast of Marseille. He lead quite an extraordinary life. -
Someone we know has just got home to Cheshire from their holiday home in Greece, to find that they've got no power! They're dead pleased about that!

We had a cull of books before we came over here because we had just too many to bring with us. We've still got 2 bookcases worth, and I don't doubt the other bookcase will soon get filled! I've got a Kindle and the Kindle app on my tablet, but I just can't get into a book unless I've got it physically in my hand. The Kindle is good for holidays, but that's it as far as I'm concerned. -
Another great 80's song.

I go through periods where I'm reading all the time, then have a spell where I don't pick up a book for ages. I'm just coming out of one of those spells. -
