Careful with the pose!

6. Obviously a lot older than you! I could never afford to buy anything until years later and by then I couldn't remember what they were.

A few stickers don't change a bike. Bullshit.

It seems that here in Wales the boosters won't be Astra Zeneca but one of the other two, Pfizer or Moderna I think.

The idea was to do some lanes on something lighter than the GS. That's when I discovered that my back and knees weren't up to standing up on the pegs for any length of time, and on the road the riding position gave me back ache. After walking too much over the weekend my bloody sciatica has returned with a vengeance and I can barely hobble around the house. If it's no better tomorrow I'll have to postpone the bike service/MOT on Thursday.

Or three.

Can't be any worse than the CCM.

I'm taking my bike is in for a service/MOT on Thursday and have asked for the G310GS as a courtesy bike while I wait. Am interested to see what it's like.

Shit for brains.

I meant that I’ve had the anthrax jab, and the effects on different people varied widely. We reckoned that the severity was directly proportional to the number of stripes on the shoulder. I share your arsenic view.

Conspiracy theorists would say it came from the Pope if they thought anyone was daft enough to believe them. The Aussies seem to be very good at producing these theories. What have we got so far? Animals in the Chinese market, the research lab around the corner and North Carolina. China gets my vote but scientists can’t make their minds up where exactly it came from, so what chance have we got of knowing?

Anything is better than being ingurlisch.

Reparations? How do you expect that to happen? Surely proof of culpability comes first?

Not so much the fat content of diet as the usual associated lack of exercise or associated health issues. Fat and carb content of many food products have been reduced in UK, so I suppose that could be regarded as mandatory. Hugeness seems to be far more common here these days than when I was a kid. It seems to be following the US trend. I see huge people queuing up at the food banks. How the hell can they afford to get that big? Many people are born stupid, although I'm convinced that many may have been trained. Some both!

Darwinism rules.

No sympathy for these idiots whatsoever. They should try a course of anthrax jabs if they're worried about reactions.

Same here but I think that the yank was a Canuk.

It’s the same story repeated time after time. They think that they’ll be ok for a short while. The third guy was probably not thinking straight due to shock. First mistake was with the first guy who should have tested the atmosphere. We always tested before going into chain lockers and any space where there might be rust, such as ballast tanks. Had to ventilate for twenty four hours before entry if I remember correctly. protective gear used if there was chance of getting contaminated, oils or sulphur for example. Breathing apparatus or dust masks as required.

I always remember this case from when I did my last Confined Space Course. It's from 2007. "In its report on the Viking Islay incident, which took place on the Amethyst gas field, 25 miles off the East Yorkshire coast, MIAB noted that the ERRV was conducting rig support operations when two seamen went forward with the intention of securing a rattling anchor chain within the chain locker. One of the seamen entered the chain locker and collapsed. It is probable that the other seaman, realising that help was urgently required, raised the alarm with the duty watchkeeping rating on the bridge before he, too, entered the chain locker in an attempt to help his companion. He also collapsed. During subsequent rescue efforts, the first rescuer found he was unable to enter the chain locker wearing breathing apparatus, and he therefore donned an EEBD. He entered the space, but at some point the hood was removed, or became dislodged, and this rating also collapsed. All three seamen died as a result of an oxygen deficient atmosphere within the chain locker." There were plenty of other similar examples. All very sad and unnecessary.

My shit is well and truly gripped by this bloody heat! Hate it. It's nearly 30C here. I'm not genetically engineered for these sort of temperatures.

Class!

Other than a couple of rides to see friends locally, to give the bike a run, I haven't ridden for a while. MOT will be due in a month or so so might make a day of it then. I'm off to the Overland Event near Oxford next month to see if I can get inspired! https://www.overlandevent.com
