The Queen is on in half hour!!

Merry Christmas!

I got it now... Thank you!! You are not a twat at all.

I think I am, although @Pedro is trying very hard to change that so I dont feel so disconnected here, in no man´s land, its not a fun place to be!

thats the way to do it!!

Thank you for keeping it going! Happy holidays!!

You deserve it 100%!

Ok, stand corrected!!

What has he done? Oh, I know, Doesn't use an Harley to deliver presents!!! With comments like that, the TOTY is going your way!

Would like to wish you all a very lovely time, with lots of good things and, above all, love, a lot of love! This is not an easy time for me now, like for so many that have suffered loss along the way. They say grief is the love we carry and will not be able to give to those that left to early and I carry some of that love. Christmas, in the caos that was my childhood, was normally a very nice time!! Not because of the presents, I never did get that medical kit I asked Santa many years in a row, but spending many 24th and 25th of December together with the Army "family" was a lot of fun!! My Dad was on duty many years and the cute little girl that I was loved running around the Regiment and the Officers Mess, softening the hearts of the hard man, not used to a cheeky, non stop talking, mischievous small person!! They taught me that hard can be soft, that loyal is more important then novelty, that family is not necessarily defined by genetics. I loved Christmas the most in the UK, because its free from all the Catholic obligations, its very funny, with the crackers and the paper crowns, the burning puddings and the grannies drunken on Port!! Its all so special and funny for a non British person!! My older brother, a special needs child, was absolutely in Love with everything Christmas and I was fortunate to share the British Christmas with him while I lived in the UK. His happiness with the paper crown on his head while he opened his presents is a cherished memory I will carry forever!! He was, on paper 11 years older then me, but he stopped growing mentally at 10 years old, so the eternal child that, in a way, always believed in Santa, for Christmas or other wise. We lost him 6 years ago and with him went that joy that only children impart in this very special time of the year. In the past, I have channeled his love for all Christmas things via cooking and normally get busy baking fruit cakes and mince pies, all from Nigella Lawson recipes, the true Goddess, and surprise the Portuguese with these "exotic" foods with a depth of flavour not typical here. This year I didn't do said backing and I'm now really regretting it, I have realised I miss it and I need to do it double next year!! I find the best thing to do when we miss someone at these special times is to honour them by giving all that stored love to as many people as possible, as far reaching as possible, so here goes lots of love to you all!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I have detested the salted cod and boiled stuff all my life, until @Pedro Mum told me about the trick that makes it all very delicious!! Now I enjoy it like never and will make it for me and my Dad! In the UK I learned to make a great Turkey, with the invaluable help of Nigella, but just me and my Dad,we will stick to the cod!!

2021 was a good year for me and my business. Had good rides and lots of great meals and wine in good company! ( thank you @Pedro for so many great moments! ) The balance is very positive and to finish the year in a very high note, I have found my confidence back and also clicked with my bike and feel like ridding it non stop!!

I hit @Pedro totally unnecessary when the traffic was stopped and he slowed down as one correctly does. Obviously I had other ideas... The End

Flattery will get him everywhere! But we both know there is a special place in your heart for the Triumph! And the GSA likes it too!

Am I too late to enter?? Well, not for the poll, just for your enjoyment! Because, lets face it, my bike IS the coolest of all!

not your best moment...

I call this click bait... Not bitting

No, size is not a measure of inteligence, number of connections between neurons is much more important. I am sorry you felt so bad at school. Its a sad reality that must change, because so many talents are lost due to a stupid system that is designed to favour a certain type of person. Einstain, being dyslexic, suffered a lot until he found ways to beat the system.

there are lots in Portugal, big revival!

Far, far away... its not female or male... its plain physics. I am sure its in any dictuanry. Sorry, its nothing fancy, science stuff, thats all

No.

Im liking this bike!

Its a better version of 3D

Well, then you should come see for yourself, picture might not tell you everything!

My professional opinion is not good enough for you?! Plus the fact i actually see the 3D and 4D version?!
