Clive

Off to look at the bike now.

I have posted a few photos of the area.......a ride report of the area would be boring.

Ride reports.....true I don't go very far, nothing much worth reporting on around here anyway. Scoot pics ....I don't post them cos I know no one is interested. But when I do, I post my own photos, I can't afford a professional photographer to do them for me.

Tell us your plans @Six30.....if it happens!..great! If it dont we won't laugh much! Then maybe again!.

as usual.

Fishing , how fucking boring on par with looking at bikes in a van.

Not the A14.......that and the M11.....I spent so much time on them roads that I think I knew where every bump in the road was! Ipswich.....I have never been there..... Oh well, your in a better place now......but you can come back occasionally......see what your missing!..

Is that £40 + parking every day @Tango?.........if so, it's a wedge out of someone's pocket......but eh, they are on great money darn sarf i cannot remember the last time I travelled by car into central London......never had any need or desire to since....been around it on the M25 more times than I care to remember........that was close enough for me.

If you can book a train journey (ticket) well in advance, and travel off peak times, the UK train fares are not too bad. But if you just turn up on the day, they are expensive. Costs about £80 from Nottingham to London, on a one way ticket.

I think I can get a train to Nottingham.......or to Worksop going the other way......I believe I would have to change trains to travel further

I see trains quite often ........can't afford to take a trip on one though.....

Those songs age ya, you old buggers!.............oh wait a minute.

Hope they don't decide to go in the other entrance in the future! Hope all goes well.

So @Tym you have changed gender (mermaid) now........do we refer to you as "They" now

Here come @XTreme with

She catches more fish than me.......cos I spend more time baiting her hook, or removing fish from her hook.......relaxing!.....would be if I got time to sit and fish.

I am used to being shit on.

Wife fishes too.....so maybe not so quiet.

I wish we had a video camera at the time, would have been £200 on You've been Framed.

Your making me want to get my gear out and have a days fishing.

The absolute biggest thing I ever caught!......must have been 3ft That was its wingspan a fooking Seagull, caught it in Majorca!. I landed the bugger though, what a racket it kicked up Took the hook out of its beak, and off it flew........it shit on me 1st though.

Only trouble with Chub when feeder fishing is they have the habit of gobbing maggots back at you when unhooking them. Never caught or seen a Barble.

There are some ponds (in the woods) near us.....with some big fuck off Goldfish in them....escapees from the fair.

All I ever caught in the Trent was Chub....... And could not be arsed with float (trotting) fishing.....I am (was) a lazy fisherman.

We gave up river fishing......after several weeks of finding the Trent matched up everywhere we tried. Not fished since Majorca in 2019.
