Patience seems to be the name of the game. The main problem is you can't rush it because it's too costly a mistake but if you're too careful and it's as good as you think it is you miss out. The law in England allows you to back out of an offer, does Scotland vary?

FFS I'd go take a pic but it occurred to me posting a pic of a garage full of bikes on an open forum is dum as hell. Also I've just booked my new imaginary bike to have heated grips fitted (the posh ones with intelligent heating which sounds like a load of over complicated shite to me but they look good and being pretty is what this bikes about so I'm going with it) so theres that.

True true but also technically the car driver should have looked in his mirrors and checked his blind spot before the manoeuvre. Then again what my pops oft said to us about the roads when we were growing up - "its not who's right, it's who's left."

Nope and I'll have to go in disguise

Did you find somewhere?

Although I will admit I wouldn't mind living there in my old age. The Everyman cinema is at the end of the road of one of the places I'm looking at and I'll confess that is my sort of thing. Somehow even it's train station still operational even though it does one tiny stop at Temple Meads- at £1.50 a ticket! Bought a moisture metre today (so many jokes there, I'll be disappointed if you don't come up with something good) and have read up on the different graphs that let you understand about damp, they're gonna love me aren't they, mad woman sticking a probe on their walls every 100mm to build a moisture profile

Think they're the bees knees cos they live in Clifton don't you know.

More like a 5-10 minute neighbourhood.

It's appealing from the point of view that everything's on your doorstep but it's so feckin pricey and some of the people in Clifton really aren't my cup of tea if you know what I mean.

Nope I don't even have a photo. It was pitch black by the time I got home

Viewing 2 flats tomorrow. This whole buying something in Brizzle has turned into a nightmare. There's something wrong with almost all of them, mainly that anything in the centre that isn't a shithole has doubling ground rent, a short leasehold or no parking. After exploring all the options I'm basically being pushed into Clifton cos it's mostly in good nick and runs on the old rules. As @boboneleg can tell you Clifton is stupid money for a shoe box.

Theres no such thing. Ask Zzzac.

What is this obsession with alcohol? Projection me thinks Thanks @Clive you're correct I'm busy. You layabouts got no concept of being flat out? @XTreme I didn't start a thread about the BSA you did, you've had a lot to say about the BSA so far so I'm sure you'll have no trouble filling it I rode it home parked it and thats where it's stayed. Leaving for Spain Tuesday if I can get through this mountain of work so it's going to be a lot longer yet. @Six30 I can't abide people sulking, I've ditched good friends who've tried that childish power play. I'm the daughter of a prolific sulker, word of advice, don't give someone who sulks a self help book about sulking unless you want to see the biggest sulk you've ever seen

Sod that keyless system. It’s as easily scannable as physical keys are copied. Except the inconvenience of having a keyless lump in a pocket you’d prefer empty.. and a £250 fee to the added inconvenience of losing it in the first place.

Evening peeps. Knackered so taking the evening off, I can regret that decision later Youngest has been frighteningly ill. If it’s whatever you lot have had (the way it’s behaved my moneys firmly on a new variant of Covid) then I doff my cap, congrats on still being alive, you must have Marcel strength DNA It’s got a killer chest infection component, it just doesn’t let up. My youngest is fit and strong and it’s completely decked him.

Sounds like your typical corporate CEO

Evening. Had a tooth drilled and filled for the first time today. I must of watched too many torture/confession films cos I was more than terrified, have heard bad dentist stories galore so nearly backed out but I didn't feel a thing, they give you anaesthetic and everything!

ALRIGHT You feckin crazy minger losers. I’ve checked in but not posted, it’s been manic. I mean full scale loon level manic and it’s not over with for a month or so at least. And yet you twats are still in the back- and let’s be clear no credit for any of you past the very back of my mind so there’s a compliment and a half for people who I don’t know, haven’t met and will only be slightly annoyed if I shuffled off Anyhow, I’ll be back with my favourite company (oddballs like me) as soon as possible

Soz, it’s been manic. IRL is sometimes insane. Picked bike up. It waaay surpassed my (very low) expectations but it was so late it was pitch black and I froze my way to my dads house where my brother (who lives in Scotland) has been waiting for a week to say hello. Then both my boys arrived from Uni and a pre-party party occurred (lot of unexpected work if you’re the keeper of the kitchen) and today is Mr Slowly’s birthday which entails some efforts. Plus trying to negotiate buying a flat in Brizzle, which I think I may have failed at. Heyho. Am knackered. But somehow you right royal turds are also on my mind so I’m checking in to say Hi gays guys well after fecking 3am in the morning before I finally get a snooze. Bike pics and review imminent, well.. quite later than imminent when I can get the extremely pretty bastid thing out of the garage and ride it… laters. Also HAPPY SUNDAY now cos tomoz isn’t looking any quieter

Viewing another bloody flat and… tadadaaaaa going to pick up the BSA

Did they hurt your feelings?

Onion bus?

I thought a Gammon was a white man of a certain age who goes puce while expressing vehemently what they believe. A bit racist ay..
