A proper fizzy with a drum front brake before they messed about and made them slower :) That was the first bike I ever did a stand up wheelie on but it was a bad mistake because I was using a ramp in a multistory carpark to get air under the front wheel and hit my head against one of the lights :pin...

So, I don't get out much these days. Well, not for a pub crawl anyway but was out Friday night in Worcester a works Christmas meal and drinks after. Couldn't get over the amount of beggars lining the streets. Must have passed at least 10 in half mile walk. Are these people genuine? Really homeless?...

It might be better to question the local authorities that squandered the money rather the person who gave them the opportunity. I detested Thatcher and all she stood for but even in my wildest moments I know that she didn't spend that money. Squandered what money? Simple maths. Councils were forced...

It's what I do now, I read the EU thread and some other political flavoured stuff but keeping out of the debate. I still condemn the idiots but now they don't get to read about it :lol: :laugh: :laugh: ;) Even if I disagreed with your views on Brexit you'd still be ok in my book because life's too ...

That's vaguely one of the toll free options I get or another one is via Luxembourg and onwards heading south past Nancy and Besancon. I'd sooner avoid the Mont Blanc tunnel but at least that way you avoid some of the high passes that might be closed over winter. The more I look the more tempted I ge...

By money I mean the money raised from the sale of public sector housing. It should have been reinvested in more homes for those who need them but in the majority of cases that didn't happen and instead council tax was kept artificially low to win votes.

Well it's 750 miles or thereabouts from the Hook of Holland so two days on an outfit taking it fairly steadily. Normally I'd leave Tuesday night to go to the Elefant, do about 450 miles on the Wednesday, 150 on the Thursday and be set up before dark but the extra miles might make this one a case of ...

So it was not just me he was hounding off site :ohmy: Obviously not. I've got to stress that even though he made it perfectly obvious that he detested me (we'd never met so I don't know why) it wasn't me that he was messaging and no matter how abusive he got on here I never even came close to repor...
