We have a winner.

Yup,he made her sad for 20 years ,and the method was cutlery .  ;-) :-)

Ahole kids you say,I blame the parents ( winky/lolz emoji)

Adults and their children,  feeding loaves of bread to seagulls.

Nice one.

It certainly will feel like a handful after the V strom, take your time getting the hang of it.

Enjoy and drive safe

I can picture* the scene

A Porshe enthusiast loves your work so much that they buy two pieces, but horror of horrors, whilst having a chat with ‘the artist ‘ as they pack the paintings into their car,they then discover your other hobby. A huge argument then ensues, as they try to get their money back :-) :-)

Hope it all goes well ( thumbs up emoji)

*pun intended

It got a bit of a kicking in the Guardian film review*

I am still going to see it next week.

*this is sometimes a good sign :)

and as if by magic..

There’s a recipe for Millionaire  Shortbread in the Glasgow Herald magazine today.

They must have been reading STW last week ;-)

Good work by perchy&mac (  potential Fringe act in the making).

Portobello can be painfully ‘ Hipster central’ ,good if you like mutts on the beach,there’s usually hundreds on a Sunday *

* I may be exaggerating slightly :)

where else is she going to earn her income?

You would think she should be able to manage on her’ lifetime’ former PM salary.

Then again, she may just always  be that sad and  hopeless attention seeker.

“a Gentleman always carries an umbrella” :-)

and a handkerchief :)

I am always a bit Baden Powell* so rarely get ambushed by changeable weather. However,it does mean that I pack/carry around a load of ‘stuff’.

*be prepared that is, not creepy old scout leader ;-)

I regularly see people dressed in clothing more appropriate for hot dry desert weather, even in the depth of winter.

Blinkin students :)

It was probably a spare stone that they had leftover on Lewis or Orkney.

Southerner : ” Are you going to use that stone for anything?”

Northerner  : ” Nah,yir fine wee man,jist take it”

:)

Thanks.

Although a small fold size would be nice,I am not intending any rush hour/commuting type train trips.

I appreciate that it’s easy to pick up 2nd hand Bromptons (as there are so many of them around),but I am not really planning to flog it on,

so was taken by the style and clean lines of the Atto (and disc brakes*)

*I have been looking at the Bromptons that Ben through in Kinetics does with disc kits

Ironing, Mrs dB loves ironing, so everything that gets washed has to go in the ironing pile until it gets neatly ironed before being put away, if I sneak a tee shirt that got washed a week ago & dare put to put it on without ironing I’m literally put on the naughty step all because she thinks it reflects badly on her caring for husband skills..

^^Needs to be posted on Mumsnet to attract more rage. :)

@blokeuptheroad

Bet she makes a fantastic millionaires shortbread though ;)

That is most excellent, the green dress,her weak voice and the way it echoes around what sounds to be an almost empty room.

The only fly in the ointment is watching it on a platform owned by the world’s biggest roaster.  :(

I mean how laughable is that – they really are deluded folk

Probably not,they are just looking for loops to place around their holes’ :)

Every single thing that gallowayboy said.^^

Anyone that gets the caramel and chocolate to shortbread ratio wrong,should be shamed in public.

People that use ‘cooking ‘chocolate need to be hoofed in the slats.

The velcro wall option is a winner,wish I had thought of that years ago ;)

I’m just trying to understand the science…

…why would it ‘choose’ that one house as opposed to a phone mast nearby or whatever?

It doesn’t ‘choose’ ,just hard lines if your house is in (or close to )the path. The same as those golfers in America that get zapped every year,wrong place at the wrong time.

Took the local train rather than pay to go on the hotel tour. Holiday rep said the train was dangerous etc, but just kept hands and eyes on pockets and valuables to make sure we weren’t pick pocketed.

Aye,second that,they try to scare you into a ‘safe’ tour.

Locals trains = Graffiti Central ,which can make it feel a bit ‘gang zone’ but they were fine .

It was 38 degrees and there is zero shade. It’s bearable if you take a lot of water.

Yup same,it was blinkin hot,go prepared

Oh,and go early..

Did not book a tour,just wandered around with a map and started at the furthest away from the gate area ,then worked  our way back

Fascinating place.

No,as others have said Italy would be (for me) a better gig.

I have to say though,Hell or High Water is an excellent movie.  ;-)

What bails said ^^^

Have you tried cycling?

Winky..Lolz..etc,etc :)

Had mine done then rode back home* on my motorbike. Funniest thing was forgetting to bring shoes,so had to walk to surgery in the back to front gown,with only a set of MX boots :-) What was not funny was a couple of weeks later when I jumped off a desk in the office after opening a high window.

*50 miles

Is Spaceballs on Netflix? I’ve not seen that in yonks

“We’re gonna have to go right to ludicrous speed”  

:)

Commuting all year round I found a love for all weather conditions, and watching the seasons change through the fields and tree growth was a real ‘connection’ thing. I suspect that a lot of dog walkers may get the same feelings, when they have to be out there every day.

Watched the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare last night.

Its hard to put into words how bad this film is…

Winston + thousands.

I was suckered in by the ‘based on a true story’ shtick,but quickly realised it was a pile of turd.

At least it only took 20 mins on fast forward to confirm.

I blame Thatcherism.

Thanks to Kayak and DezB for putting me on to this crowd

Dance you say?

This always makes me smile ( shame that the film quality of the Nickolas brothers is lacking)

Lunch is like oxygen .

You get too much,you get too high.

Not enough and you’re gonna die

Buying a chainset because it worked out cheaper than the two chainrings.

#extracranky today

I hope you told the toddler (in a big dad’s voice ) what they had just caused.  ;) :)

Kids eh,they (not the leg)will be the death of you*

* Oh and search somewhere else for more sensible advice

At last

My lunch has come along..

My lonely days are over

And life is like a song.

Saw  Wicked Little Letters at the cinema.

I thought it was excellent ,with a great main cast.

Based on a true story

Anybody know what rack that is on the Moxie in that review?

No idea,but looks not unlike the Blackburn and P-clip bodge that I made for my last trip.

#racksRback

I have an old hex that I didn’t use,sorts out most ailments *.

I can send it in the post,(PayPal gift).

* if you do the incantation properly and at the correct volume.

Some of the French fans need to go and sit in a quiet room and have a think about how they behaved.

If Pidcock hadn’t had the wheel change he would have left Koretzky for dead long before his smart line choice that got their pants in a twist.

I hope Tom had time to shout ” ON YOUR LEFT” :)
