They come round and flog us a calendar for a "contribution". French law says that they can't just accept money, but they can flog you something and that's ok! The firemen and postie do the same, so we end up with several calendars that we don't need/use!

We get them in the garage, in the sun lounge and in the utility room. I don't mind them at all.

Is that a hint? Oh, OK then, Happy birthday Mrs Saul and Fred!

Too right, all those fuckers speaking French!

You'll have to stop breathing, @Clive, to reduce the humidity! Seriously though, our house in the UK suffered a lot with mold. It was only about 30 years old when we moved in, and had cavity wall insulation and a lot of loft insulation and uPVC double glazing, but it didn't seem to do anything. There was a built-in wardrobe in our bedroom and we had to stop putting clothes in it, because they all went mouldy! It's difficult to know what to do about it, mate!

This bunch, about 5 minutes into the video!

They were in some of his earlier videos, when they were "repairing " his bike! It seems that a few people in the comments tried to warn him of them!

As far as bike reviews go, I'd put more faith in something that is reviewed by proper bike reviewers. My favourites are: Nathan the Postman, Ian @ Big Rock Moto and Ben @ Dork on the Road. They put bikes through their paces and don't hold back! Big Rock Moto and Dork on the Road have both bought 750 Transalps and have been modifying them for more off-road ability. Both admit that the standard bike is a long way from serious off-road capable, but is a good platform to start from. I'm interested in seeing their modifications and ongoing reviews of the bike.

Yes, that other bike shop really did a number on his bike! It's a long way past an economical repair now, but I wonder if he'll go back to that bike shop and demand some compensation from them? They did more harm than good!

Shedding ice off my bike gear was something I did regularly when I was young........the novelty soon wore off though!
