  1. 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!
  2. 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!
  3. 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?
  4. The family name of the people who owned our house before the couple we bought it from were called Fuck. That raised a few eyebrows when we were signing the contract!
  5. I loved and still love the Asterix books. Sometimes some light reading like this is more fun than wading through something heavier.
  6. 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!
  7. These are also in my reading list.
  8. 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.
  9. 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!
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. Just on our way back from a Black Friday sale!
