I regularly get mail queries about sites......always reply to them but in a lot of cases I never hear anything back.

Well I just got a reply back from a company in Maryland US expressing further interest!

The mail I sent them was in August 2017.

Make sure you get paid upfront, they are American.

Back in the ‘90s we used to get pikeys like this turning up at the karate club every now and then from the traveller's site at the far end of town. They never came on their own – always a mob of four or five of them – and they were always going to show us what real fighting was all about. They undoubtedly had great physical strength and you definitely wouldn’t want to get in a grappling match with one of them, but they had no technique whatsoever and were as thick as pig shit.

We’d stick them with the 1st to 3rd kyu students (that’s one of the brown belt grades to you) and they’d immediately adopt their best boxers pose and start making all sorts of funny grunting noises while ducking and weaving. When a punch finally did come it was telegraphed from so far off that a half-hearted leg sweep was all it took to put them on their arse, at which point they’d get up and do exactly the same thing again. And again. And again. They’d hit the deck a dozen times without learning a damn thing, and then when the kyu grade finally got bored they’d go in full bore for the last one and upend them properly so their head was the first thing to hit the deck whilst their legs were still up in the air. They’d have to sit out the rest of the session with concussion, and then at the end of the night we’d ask them if they’d enjoyed themselves. 

Funnily enough we never saw the same ones twice…

Just superglue it, that’s all they’d do innA& E. just get the bits out of it first.

It’s stopped bleeding now, the bottom cut is not quite big enough to need a stitch, I have surgical needle and thread here if it had been bigger, I don’t do doctors for cuts unless a limb is hanging off.

It’s a machine, not a person.

He has been abducted by alien ghosts.

Technically this is more my day yesterday, but it was great: we went down to Romford to meet up with the rest of the huskies from the litter ours came from, and after they’d spent a few hours charging around the woods in the pouring rain we descended on a local pub, where nine filthy dogs caused absolute carnage.

The best bit though was the Irishman on the carpark of Toddington Services who accosted me with one of those stories when I pulled in for a cup of tea on the way down:

 

Ah hello der, can yis help a fella out here? Me credit card’s snapped, an’ oi just need a bit o’ petrol to get me an’ de family back home.

- Let’s have a look… well, it’s not gone through the chip, so it should still work for contactless payments in the kiosk.

Look, oim as Oirish as dey come, an’ oim askin’ yis man to man to help a fella out.

- Why don’t you just fill it up, then say you haven’t got the means to pay and fill out the form they give people when their cards are declined? You’ll get 48 hours or something to make the payment and…

Look, oim tellin’ yis, oi’ve bin inter de kiosk an’ dey jus’ told me to feck off.

- Well, that’s BP for you. Maybe if you tried Shell...

Yis’ not listenin’ to me. Oim a fella here, same as yerself. Do yis think oid be makin’ a spectacle of meself here if oi wasn’t desperate? Oim as Oirish as dey come, me…

- Yes, so you said. I hadn’t noticed. So you’re going back to Ireland in the car then. Dublin?

Dat’s roit…

- So you’re getting the ferry from Hollyhead?

Err, yes. Dat would be it…

- How did you get on in O level geography?

Eh?

- You’re just outside Luton, on the southbound M1. Wrong direction entirely for Hollyhead.

D’yis think oim some sort o’ chancer, is dat it? A poikey?

- I dunno... have you ever baked a hedgehog? I’ll tell you what: I’ve got somewhere to be, so just give us a couple of verses of ‘Paddy McGinty’s Goat’ and I’ll give you twenty quid.

Are yis not feckin’ roit up here, in de head? Yis’ not feckin’ listenin’ to me, are yis?

- Alright, just step over to my car and say “Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the little wee donkey” and if it makes my kids laugh I’ll give you a pound. I can’t say fairer than that…

How’s about oi feckin’ foit yer for it, roit here.

- Excellent – I was wondering how long it would take you to get round to it. Let me just give these two teas to my wife and we can get started right away. I’ll even let you have the first shot - fair enough?

Yis are not feckin’ roit in de head, are yis? Oil feckin’ foit yis, roit enough…

- Look, I can tell how hard you're working at trying to intimidate me, and I don’t want you to think I don’t appreciate the effort. How do you feel it’s going so far?

Ahh - feck yis, yer feckin’ wanker!

 

And with that he stormed off to try his luck elsewhere. When I got back in the car my kids said “What was that all about?” and before I could answer my wife said “It’s just your dad being your dad. You get used to it…”

do you believe in spiritual beings 

I believe Angels exist, but they were created as spiritual beings, unlike Lancaster Bombers.

Are these the ones who use pseudoscience to try to prove the existence of supernatural beings in order to exploit adults who are still scared of the dark? I think if you really pressed me to say which one of us they are most closely aligned with my answer might tend rather more one way than the other... 

Exactly, they are just like evolutionists.

A&E for you fella..

Elastoplast.

I just tried unsuccessfully to cut my thumb off. Trying to get a top of a bottle but mananaged to snap the top off the bottle instead, ended up slicing my thumb just above and just below the joint.

This morning I did the airbox 'flapper' mod.  So the airbox has a flap inside it which is vacuum controlled by a unit sat on top of the box , the unit has a hook on the end which pulls the flap up to let more air in when needed.  

Here I have taken it out and blanked off the hose with a screw...............

 

Then I put some double-sided tape under the flap and secured it so it is fully open all the time.................

and that's it , job done.  The bike should breathe better now with the new silencer and servo motor removed.  The next job will be the removal of the AIS (air induction system).

Will that affect cold weather starting?

That’s the Monaco for the post brexit masses.

Either of those is the preferable option, we are away on holiday next month, don't want the car breaking down on the way there, or back...

Mablethorpe?

I have seen an apparition......because as you know I've mentioned the Phantom Plane numerous times over the years. And there's many other reported sightings of that as well.

But have you seen God as in a visible appearance?

And I think we may need Wankstain's input here...... @Otto von Jizzmark come on down!

Does Wankstain believe in ghosts? I guess these paranormal researchers are his colleagues, after all they call themselves scientists.

Iam taking the car in to the garage on Thursday, they gonna stick a endoscope in the head, see if the bit is lodged somewhere, or if it has gone out of the port. 

Running OK at the moment, no tinkling sound any longer.  

It could have spat it out or it might be fused to the top of the piston.

Okay zzzak.

That time you walked past a window and felt cold air on your neck, you said grandma was speaking to you, what was she saying?

”Fix the fucking window you lazy ginger twat!”

Still at mrs aunts pub , back tomorrow for van action .. then up @Clive way to ruin his week

So you are going to bum @Clive?

Why not? You believe in God........and there appears to be more sightings of Ghosts than of God.

There are eye witness accounts of Jesus and he exists in the historical record. 
 

The only people who believe in ghosts are bellends, gingers and ginger bellends.

Do you believe in ghosts?

Of course not.
