I pay €40 a month for unlimited everything wherever I am in the world on Vodafone, and €60 a month for 600MB Fibre Optic, Telephone, and two other mobile lines with Excom who are my ISP. Sure......I could save money by ditching Vodafone, but the coverage and reliability isn't as good on the other providers......plus the Taxman pays for it so why bother?

You've got to ask yourself......how much can you trust a guy who used to meet up with Blender?

He's a Gammon......so he should be used to being betrayed by now!

It wasn't you Clive! In fact nobody has voted for themselves. But one person did recently......we let it go because it didn't influence the outcome.

It wasn't you! But you were the one who made a point of telling @Six30 that you voted for him......then took the vote off him!

Just a reminder that it's not good form to vote for your own bike!

The Gammon started it!

MySQL 8 upgrade completed!

No Dave......it's now everybody knows that you're clueless enough to believe what Rupert Murdoch, Rothermere, and the Barclays tell you.

Too fucking lazy probably!

Yeh.....it seems some have had water pump issues......but mine has been fine.

Just to let you know that there might be a slight break in transmission this afternoon while the server gets upgraded to MySQL 8.

The thing is, if you're down to a basic State pension then just making ends meet is a challenge.

He's got a new craze now!

Bob's DR for me!

And it don't get any easier Bob. Every year it gets a little bit harder. But at least we're facing up to reality......there's a lot that don't!

I think you'll need a Lottery win for that!

Deflecting again then?

How many kids you got? Or is that a secret as well?

What does that entail Fred?

OK.....time to tell us how good, or bad, 2023 was for you. In my case it was one of the worst of all time. I went into it suffering from Long Covid, and then came the most severe case of flu I've ever known. That went on for about two months, with multiple doses of antibiotics for secondary infections. The resulting cough was so strong that it caused the fucking Hernia. Then the grandkids left the town in early May. It was sad to see them go, but that was offset somewhat by the jubilation of seeing Fatty fuck off! Everybody who ever had any contact with her in the town thought she was really fucking weird! I then spent the rest of the year having to carry the Hernia as best I could. Getting on and off the bike was difficult, any bump or movement when riding was unpleasant, and when I could get off it any standing or walking gave me a lot of grief. Ended up only doing about 2500kms / 1500 miles in the entire year. December 5th I had the op.......meaning I couldn't ride over Xmas and New Year. At the moment I'd estimate mid to late January before I can get back out! Though knowing my luck the weather will be hell by then and put the kybosh on it. Livin' the fucking dream I am! Anyway.......tell us about your 2023?

No.....that's fine!

You get one submission!
