My son has been called for jury service in October. 110 mile round trip each day for two weeks unless he gets a long trial.

Just got back from the Copdock bike show. The weather report has been waning of foul weather all week, so naturally I am burnt with panda eyes from my sunglasses. I stopped and spoke to a man with some small antique generators running and saw he had a Sinclair C5 on display so we talked about that for a while. I asked him what they were like to pedal and he said quite easy, you can get up to quite a speed in them just pedalling. Then he asked if I wanted to have a go around the field. He asked me twice and next thing I know he had lifted the rope and was showing me how to get in the thing without breaking the fragile part and how to put my feet on the pedals so as not to bang them on the upswing. I did a small lap of a bumpy grass field and he was right, very easy to pedal, steer and brake, even with my hand under my bum on the handlebars.

What??? Like knock a hole in the garage wall behind?

Heard this whilst on the ferry to Spain when it was used for the credits on the film Shallow Hal. Been listening to it regularly since back then.

Not actually a joke, taken in Bow this week. Electric vehicles are starting to catch on.

'Give us a pound or I will hit you' man has died. Apparently he had a massive heart attack whilst helping his elderly father move a wardrobe down a flight of stairs.

Pete he was a Welshman Pete he was a cleaner Nothing else to do to it Because he'd bought a Beemer

There one was a Scotsman called Andy Who stood in a pub with a shandy When he lifted his kilt, to see what he'd spilt The barmaid said 'Cor blimey that's 'andy.' Tarzan swings Tarzan falls Jane she catch him by the balls And that is why he always calls Arrrararaaarararararrrraaaaaaaaaaghhhhhh Georgie Porgy pudding and Pie Kissed the girls and made them cry When the boys came out to play He kissed them as well, cos he's funny that way.

I wish I could put two laughing wossnames but it will only let me do one!

They were warped for a while, but then they sorted themselves out. I always say if you can warp them out of true then you can warp them straight again if you are prepared to put the time in.

My old bike which my mate part exed on Monday for a 2016 Triumph 800 Tiger. Apparently they must be new discs (they aren't).

A warranty of BMWs

Everybody's got to be somewhere.
