faultless

nbt – Abduls!

the best chicken kebabs in the world

it’s a pain as the nearest shop is 5 miles away

in the same boat

still have my student debt

18 years later

I went to 2 shops and ended up with Kayland boots, and bought some insoles too

they still hurt my feet

hope the link works

some pics of Monaco, Grimaud, Port Grimaud, the (now sold) apartment 🙁 and St Tropez

love the place

lots to see around there

Plan de la tour, Grimaud, Cogolin, St Tropez, Grasse, Collobrières

It’s a lovely part of the World

still coming to terms with the fact that my mum sold her holiday apartment there last year 🙁

remind me never to ride with an agenda

sounds awful

Hayfield to Edale loop took me 4 hours!

Guess I need to ride more

I have noticed a steady decline in tesco over the past year or so

The fruit and veg is hit and miss at best

Tesco own brand stuff all seems full of sugar and salt

In the last month they have really pissed me off by stopping stocking lindt 90%

only trouble is, tesco is the only supermarket around here

my brother has owned around 5 or 6 and restored 3 of them

I had a clubman for a while, it was such a laugh

Like klunk I had the bonnet fly up on the motorway, 4 of us in it, and me doing about 80 with my head out of the window trying to get us over to the hard shoulder

Also remember going to Lincolnshire to a mini show in my brothers with the exhaust blowing at the front. We all had headaches for most of the day

And I remember the alternator dying on another friends mini while we were coming back to Glossop from Barnsley, at night, with no lights

They are cracking fun, and you forget about any problems as soon as you get behind the wheel

My brother let me borrow his 1380cc to go to work in for a few days, I always took the long way home, and always had a smile on my face

11, below normal apparently

11.5 stone and soft spring

she’s still got it though

i like it

the BBC has become a joke. Its disappointing.

Seems we are condemned to daily mail standards of journalism

Glenmorangie is too far the other way

Glenfiddich 15, Aberlour, Balvenie double wood are all good. Tasty but a bit smoother

day one

anything that gets him off tv is fine by me 🙂

German engineering 🙂

quite a sad sight though

every year, without fail, I get boxer shorts that are too big for me

+1 sodajim 🙂

everyone is going to give you a different answer

I had Avid elixir cr and they were fine, but after all the horror stories on here I swapped them for some Hope M4. I found the Hopes wooden and not as positive as the avids even after bleeding

I have Formula The One now, after another recommendation and they are an absolute nightmare to bleed. I have tried it many times, using all the advice on here and there is still air in the rear

Also seems to be a lot of people saying bad things about Hayes, when they are the best brakes I have used, trouble free, easy to bleed and lasted me years. I would definitely have some more

looking for some slim fit (not skinny), button fly, indigo jeans that are reasonably priced

not having much luck so far

my friend has one, lovely temperament, it does enjoy a good old chew though

So far its eaten the hood off a brand new, never worn gore tex jacket, and the new £40 sq/m kitchen flooring that had been down 2 days because he had just destroyed the previous one

😀

I did Manchester to Warsaw a few weeks ago

Manchester – Euston
St Pancras – Brussels – Cologne – Warsaw

It was a great way to travel. The time seemed to go quite fast, the trains were smooth (apart from the Cologne Warsaw sleeper)

Managed about 4 or 5 hours kip in a couchette

I’ve had dizziness and brain fog for years, along with other symptoms

Been to all kinds of specialists

Latest independent tests showed lyme, but the nhs are basically telling me they don’t think it’s lyme

been like piggy in the middle of a few doctors who can’t seem to agree and seem in no rush to sort things out

then

never did get that burner I wanted

let him say goodbye

I’m still annoyed at my dad for taking one of our dogs to the vet and not saying a word to me or my brother

Loved that dog

🙁

feel like I want to break something after reading that

was just at the post office and they were there again, queueing out of the door

one kindly old man kept letting people in front of him, very nice, except I was behind him

😉

It was on holiday with my Mum and her husband

We drove down to the south of France, 2 days in a car with his constant stream of consciousness in my ear

Literally every thought that entered his head came out of his mouth. As the journey progressed he started being pedantic about inconsequential things as well. Like he didn’t want to stop in the larger motorway services in France as they ‘took more time’ (?) than the small ones

The next thing was driving around car parks for 10 minutes looking for a frigging tree to park under, despite having ice cold air con in the car

Was my turn driving, we pulled into a bigger services as me and mum needed a loo stop, so he was pulling his kipper about that. Then he was directing me where to park ‘under the tree, under the tree!’ so I parked under a tree after much fannying about, than it turns out it was the wrong bloody tree

Completely lost it, got out of the car, threw the keys at him, told him to drive his effing self

Got back in the car after 10 minutes and he started again, I didn’t think it was possible but I blew my top even more. He got a tirade of verbal abuse, the rest of the journey was fairly quiet 🙂

I think my mother was fairly shocked at my language 😀

I got an apology at the hotel, but was still too mad to acknowledge it

Had a battle of wills with some crazy woman in m & s

I just wanted some spices. She must have been stood there staring for 10 minutes while I was trying to squeeze past to look at the shelves. Didn’t move an inch until I found what i was looking for and walked off

Went out today despite feeling bobbins

started feeling worse so ride cut short

now on the sofa with a blanket

And also banned from leaving the house during the week between the hours of 7 and 9, 12 and 2pm, and 5 until 7pm

😉

Where abouts in thornsett is it?

I live just down the road
