  1. Obviously not, but it was a good set nonetheless. I am quite partial to a Matt Monro song, On days Like These, is one of my Solos.
  2. Bit late but had a really good weekend just gone. Took the Mrs to this guy on Friday night. I have never listened to much Jazz before, I always found the Bipity Boppity scatt stuff a bit annoying but I was really surprised and properly enjoyed the concert. I do know the guy as he is the Musical Director of my main choir. I knew he was good but fuck me he was brilliant, especially a Matt Monro triplet he did. He is looking to start a Jazz Club at the St Austell Arts Centre, can't wait till next month I am taking my eldest daughter as she likes a bit of Jamie Cullen and Micheal Buble. Discovered there is such a thing as Jazz Wankers, several of them in the audience, I am eager to learn more about the music but don't know if I want to learn much more about them though. Saturday night I was down at Sticker for a Shout (Sing) at the Hewas Inn. Bit of a dive but saw some people I know and had a good night but managed to pick up a dose of D&V from some beastly bugger, hence time to post rubbish on here in between being able to shit through the eye on a needle into a spider's eye. Yeah I know to much information.
  3. I am a bit like that with Blue Bloods at the moment, like the Waltons in Blue suits but it has got me hooked. Only another 9 series to go Also watching Star Trek Strange New Worlds. Really like it, simple wash over entertainment one story per episode like the Original Series.
  4. Me to but motech boxes are rather spendy. The box to go with my panniers is approaching £400.
  5. I think the F was built down to a price where practically everything was an extra. The X has quite a bit more standard kit.
  6. All true, but at least I can just take it off easily when not commuting, only have to press the button.
  7. There aren't any on the CB500F mate. I went for the Givi as it is big enough to hold my lid so I haven't got to cart it around at choir or work.
  8. Practicality wins. I resisted for months but I just need the utility of a box.
  9. Combination of things really, Radio, Podcasts, music and choir teach tracks. Gives me plenty of practice time riding to and fro from work.
  10. Well I have been using the C3 for commuting and it is a joy of quiet, can quite happily sit at 70 with very little wind noise. Faster and obviously it gets a little more raucous. Anyway quiet is good but I have gotten used to listening to stuff on my phone through the Bluetooth on my Viper lid. The Viper is comfy but noisy. So to the point I wanted some Bluetooth connectivity for my Schuberth. You can buy a Senna coms kit but it is a bit spendy and I don’t really care about coms as such. So I thought about using a Bluetooth kit I bought last year to use with my RE lid, but it didn’t fit. To my surprise it fitted in the Schuberth perfectly. Is Bluetooth 5.0 so works seamlessly with my phone, also I can’t feel the speakers so all is good. Some testing to do but I am pretty chuffed with what are in effect Bluetooth speakers in my lid for £30. They will control the phone to make calls and stuff but I doubt I will use that. They came from Amazon if you want to experiment with the same chinky tat.
  11. I don't want to say to much, but he has some mental health issues due to his past before he came to us. It's not new but he is going through a bad patch and needs quite. a lot of support.
  12. I am, but having a few issues with my 19 year old son at the moment, who has problems, hard enough getting out of the house for work and choir, going away not an option in the short term.
  13. Dubios is gonna get sparked out.
  14. I doubt anyone would want to watch it but I found a war criminal type drama in 6 parts from 1981 on Youtube called Kessler. Load of old dated bollocks but I enjoyed it.
  15. Wow mind blown!, I never knew there was such a thing as kettle cooking. What a brilliant idea. Also like the Biolite2 thing, clever tech. Best thread we have had on here for ages.

    Puncture

    No not on my bike on my car. Picked one up last nice so went out this morning to a flat on the drivers rear. Got the space saver out and it had never been used in the cars 21 years. Anyway aired it up and swapped it out. Sadly both rears we’re close to the ware bars so it was time to replace them both. I was expecting £200 but was pleasantly surprised that it was only £141 which I didn’t think was to bad. I quite like Falken tyres good grip and seem to last quite well. The ones I have got on the front have 13k on them and still have plenty of tread left. I know the car is rwd but still doing ok.
  17. Did my last ever night shift Friday night, but I am still on the Bank so you never know. Tonight I am doing sweet FA and intend to enjoy it. May pop out on the CB early tomorrow just for a bimble rather than a commute. I have done 4 tanks of fuel in the last 2 weeks but just commuting I need some different views.
  18. Just been watching Star Trek Strange New Worlds. Good for Trekkies.
  19. Queen of Oz on iplayer. If you like Catherine Tate you will love it, if you don’t you won’t. Many a swipe at Harry in it which was priceless
