I am not a muff fan (ooer) but I do actually own some (a few pairs actually) and have used them when it is super cold weather. I have found that as previously stated, wrap around handguards are a must to stop your brake light coming on and to keep the inner part open for you to reach the controls. I always end up using a few zip ties at the opening to keep them exactly where I want them, keep switches clear and make putting my hands in an out easy. This means putting holes in them of course. I usually only manage a few days before I get annoyed with them. My main gripe is that I sometimes have to pull my bike backwards whilst standing at the side which is hard to do with a bar muff on and my left hand on the grip and impossible if I need to turn the handlebars left as I go backwards.

I had some woman called Delyth talking about her 'Yeurs' to me in Wales once. I thought she was talking about her experiences a long time ago. It was only when I caught the word 'yeurings' that I realised she was talking about her lug holes.

Try saying Kilogram instead of just Kilo, that might help.

Asking for directions from strangers doesn't seem half as daunting now as it did before I read this thread.....

You didn't really think that sentence through did you?

I cleared my PPE and personal lockers at work yesterday. There was a large tin of dog food which is left over from the days I used to feed the yard dog Scruff after Ted died. It's been there since the dog was removed from the yard for biting people once too often. I carried it to the bins on top of a load of old diaries and old paper work, got some very funny looks from other office users that don't know me.

They're not silly, notice how the tables are not under the monstrosity!

Yeah, but look at all the beauties you have lined up for the next one. Bamboozle would be a good name for your monkey. Make sure to get one that is pannier sized.

It's just started working again, quick before Pete fucks it up again.

Shit on the road at work today, all coming out of the one building site. No washing down vehicles just a few blokes with brooms pushing it about. I dobbed them in, we don't want the Deliveroos sliding on it in the dark do we.

I go to work and when I come back you have broken his website, what are you like?

Best pictures yet, despite the lack of meunkeys!

He's fallen in der water.......

Drawing rooms of the rich, royal and famous. Not a set square or parallel motion set up in sight though. https://spitalfieldslife.com/2022/11/30/the-drawing-rooms-of-old-london/

No idea, I assume it's down to whatever aggregate they are using. You can see quartzy type bits in granite kerbs when they are rough surfaced rather than sliced/polished and they do glitter in sunlight. Asphalt roads are just black sticky stuff holding stones together so probably the same reason. Now if you'd asked me about road markings I could have used one of my favourite words, which is 'Ballotini'. Little glass balls mixed in with the road marking thermoplastic that catch headlight beams at night and reflect it back. When anyone is lining there is always a solidified ooze hanging off the back of the lorry by the boiling pots. I like to snap a piece off to see the little beads.

My good pictures very rarely have a motorbike in them so I don't usually bother. Is there a short period where a bike picture can't go in the month either sides competition (like between 27th Nov and 1st December), or does the eligible time start in the last few days of the preceding month?

Beautiful pictures. Do they now fall into Decembers BOTM even though we are still in November?

Oh dear, I think that my genetics are trying to escape out of my leotard leg hole.

Pedro, do you have a liceunce for that muenkey?

Balloon knot, tea towel holder.

Agreed

A bit of wee came out because I laughed so much at this picture.

I preferred this one.

She was briefly in the monkey/zoo video on here.
