For you that is the likely number. Or perhaps sub zero would better suit a someone of your disposition..

Bloody hell they are stunning together. I can foresee sponsors falling over themselves to monetise that. Hope they have a good agent!

I didn't know you were American, I'd guessed you were from planet Loon

Its my favourite bike (with the Livewire a very close second) but its not an all day bike. It has hard suspension and a slightly more aggressive seating position. The GSF1250 is much more suited to cover larger distances. Smoother, more upright seating position, fine to leave if you stop in a less than delightful setting. It crosses into the sports tourer territory well unlike the 9T which is just plain fun.

Oh I know the dark side, I just had not seen

Sticky Vicky?

I did not know the boxer engine is as beautiful as it is.

Natural selection…

@Clive suffering from Petes lack of desire to make his shit work on anything other than a PC?

Why did you stop?

Oh I’m pretty certain he took a walk on wild side and tripped all over the place

My Pops almost tried it once. He was in a bar pissed as a newt and toxed up on other substances and this very attractive woman said hello. He said she looked (through his altered goggles) like Lauren Bacall. He got as far as discovering she had junk in her trunk before he realised what was (not) going on His only complaint was he hadn’t noticed how masculine Lauren Bacalls jawline was before that encounter

I think we need a second opinion on that. What you say our American friends?

Apparently this is a thing. I kid you not. People are dying from taking selfies like never before. Some may say its mean but I call it natural selection. Now signs are being put up and barriers put in place to stop the dumbasses falling to their death?! Wot you say? Ever incurred any photographic injuries? Or is this just the biggest bunch of twats walking the earth finally meeting their fate?

Was sarcasm. Every nation reserves their greatest dislike for their neighbours. You always get the greatest warnings about the people who are in closest proximity, tis human nature.

Blimey that is a surprise. My mini compressor won’t switch on until the tubes removed for inflating but I like the farmer style fix

I dont understand, the Spanish love the Portuguese and vice versa don’t they? Frozen prawns over here are pretty good. I didn’t know the frozen stuff over there was so crap. They are exotic, most shellfish comes from far flung shores. Why buy frozen at all? Because when you’re running the catering for a family that consumes large amounts you need flexibility in your weekly menu. So you find quality frozen ingredients, here prawns are one of those ingredients. Its that or you have to eat whatever you pick up on the day and buying that way doesn’t generally add up to a balanced weekly diet and it adds a ridiculous amount of extra time to your already long day. I certainly won’t be buying anymore frozen fish/shellfish in Spain!

Yes I know funny isn’t it I have to to say I’ve really struggled with the quality of frozen fish/shellfish in Spain. It reminds me of the stuff we used to get over here about 20 years ago. Over cooked or over salted and totally water logged. The prepared prawns are just awful. I’ve tried many and they’re all coated in layers and layers of ice, totally tasteless. Horribly watery affairs. But I guess thats because there are fish counters everywhere in Spain with fresh fish so the frozen stuff has remained a second class product. Here the fish counters disappeared a long time ago, then the complaints about the quality of the frozen alternative started and it improved immeasurably. Now we are losing our butchers and meat counters as well Have been on an olive oil tasting course, thats how much I want to like it. But I guess sometimes our palates just perceive something as wrong. Odd because I love olives

I was brought up with that idea. That foreigners have to add spices and flavouring because their produce was poor. Seems hilarious now

Happy to try it with a more neutral oil. I just find the taste of olive oil (no matter how expensive or the perceived quality) overpowering. Raw octopus over here would be an unlikely find without resorting to online ordering which I’m not happy to do… fish in the post.. no thanks So octopus rice looks the likely outcome. Cheers for the link.

Love it. Such a good way to spend time.

Something that will make a lot of the pie from a tin eaters on here vomit Having been into making food as far back as I can remember, its rare that I find something I’ve never cooked. I’ve eaten this many times but not bought it. It’s never been available in the UK and at £20 a pack with its monstrous overtures I can see why its not popular. Definitely a Pedro type food I think. Won’t be slicing it and coating with olive oil n salt because as untrendy as it is I just don’t like the flavour of olive oil. Might char it with a bit of paprika. Any other suggestions?
