  1. Just me and then my bezzie will be joining me for a bit. I suspect Mr Slowly will sensibly stay away until she’s gone
  2. Shudda moved to the other side of the mountain… There thats cheered you up hasnt it
  3. Oh yes much more fleecing is coming our way. My favourite so far was mobile phone companies before Brexit saying they wouldn't reintroduce data roaming charges (or any other extra charges) when we left the EU. They soon changed their minds and will start switching over from January. They are sliding into dipping their hands in your wallet slowly though so there's not too much fuss by saying your current terms and conditions stand until the end of your contract. Aholes.
  4. So no mention of the stuff they needed to sort out, crap back brake, side stand thats way too long and gets battered to an unusable state off road, the headlight that’s as bright as a lit match and the abs set up thats slams the brakes on n off at such long intervals it snakes you down the road like a rodeo bull
  5. I wasn't bowled over by it...
  6. Brain damage will do that to you.
  7. It’s a complicated topic. Hormonal changes (menopause) are thought only a small part of it but hormones in general are a big part from birth. Men’s bones are bigger, testosterone encourages bone growth so men’s skeletons become larger during puberty. Men are genetically predisposed to gaining bone density when they do physical tasks like lifting a weight, women not so much. Women will lose minerals during pregnancy as the parasitic nature of baking a baby means the goods have to come from somewhere (hence pregnant women can often have trouble with their teeth). There’s also at the very basic the idea that women’s frames are smaller, the bones are finer to start with so simply have less to lose before it effect the bones n joints. I believe (but don’t quote me on this) women are 4 times more likely to suffer from arthritis.
  8. Dunno, I did read last year the council decided they were gonna to take his long term carers (the ones who can actually understand his speech) away and replace them with random agency. He campaigned against it. Dunno what happened. Can’t imagine he’d fair too well without them
  9. I’m not a top gear fan, all the fake matey ladishness puts me off but that is a genuinely good tribute. Well worth watching. Although you might want some tissues cos there was definitely someone chopping onions nearby when I watched it It’s series 31 episode 1 and it starts at 30mins 35 seconds if you want to skip past the rest of the ecky thump banter.
  10. The brits along with most 1st world countries LOVE German cars. As for the plates I’d be amazed if the great British unwashed recognise one EU plate from another (if its not British it’s simply “foreign”
  11. So it’s a changed event now, not mid winter for enthusiasts only?
  12. This looks like a total pita but once you've filled in the form it makes everything easy peasy. No irritation, no strops over preferential treatment, its just simple. https://doodle.com/free-poll
  13. Nah he's getting his book me in dates in first! He's as keen as mustard!
  14. and yet you shun other events... The 23 November 1961 issue of The Motor Cycle carried an article by George Wilson in which he asked, "Can such a dream be realised in this country - a rally for super enthusiasts only, and so organised that by its very nature, only super enthusiasts would want to join in?... But above all it must be held in the dead of winter when only men who are men would be interested and the softies would stay away"
  15. ..and this is why id need the bazooka, yin n yang n all that shebang...
  16. Oh yes, I have a bazooka greeting ready n waiting for six
  17. As Althea and Donna would say - Nah pop no style, a strictly roots.
  18. Only if he needed medical care in an old folks setting in Surrey 20 years ago
