    I have no idea who anyone is – but then I’m much the same in real life 😀

    I do of course have a man who identifies people for me.

    You need to mention things like, errr, how not to get the adverts…
    (obviously I can’t mention &&block or I’ll get a ban!)

    802 miles – a piffling 802! Absolutely pathetic! I am going to stand in the corner and have a few stern words with myself…

    And it’s a truck, not a pick up

    That’s a ruddy hatchback, albeit quite a pretty colour…

    Seems there’s a lot of it about this winter, don’t worry, it’ll go in another two or three weeks.

    I can’t help with the hinges, but is that a truck, as in lorry, or a pickup?

    Is this just from your personal viewpoint, or have you had confirmation from an impartial observer?

    I opened this thread to see the pretty coloured lorries, then found he meant pickups
    I is disappointed.

    Yes, I’ve looked at them, and ridden them in the past, but getting up off a recumbent is getting more difficult, and you can’t see over hedges! And you can’t get a Pashley PDQ3 anywhere for love nor money!

    I have to have a hot water bottle practically all year round to avoid cramp in my feet when I go to bed. But then I get cramp in all sorts of weird muscles, I can cope with feet and calves, but the worst is the inner thigh one, that’s absolute agony! I’m not so keen in the one in the front of my neck when I yawn either…

    Is it just me that hates over-bright car lights? So many these days are almost blinding.

    I’ve never even considered cutting either into triangles, how very common!!

    I’m looking for a satnav too, how do the ones that show live traffic work? Through your phone?

    sane females

    I’m perfectly sane. Or at least I think I am… probably…

    I have to recommend a Kenwood Chef, mine is around 50 years old given to me by my mum when she thought she should update – so I now also have the newer one on standby at the back of a cupboard, not that I expect to use it for a few years yet.
    Discalimer: I have no idea if the new models will last like the old ones.

    I am the Queen of Bimble – I could bimble for England. I bimble between geocaches, bimble to Sunday lunch, bimble to the local brewery, bimble just for the sake of bimbling.
    (I wonder if I should confess to being unable to actually go any faster?)

    Horses can’t vomit, so they can actually die from travel sickness

    So the owners of these luxury pets should take them for more walks, rather than taking them out for a drive in their horse boxes?

    So much piffle around on drinking water – and the colour of your pee. Poppycock and balderdash, the lot of it.

    £2k for a computer? That does pretty much the same as my £200 laptop? Just for “general family stuff and homework”?

    I have a subscription to a magazine that regularly has a centrefold poster of a big cock.

    The one that really annoys me is the use of “joking”. It’s “you are joking”, NOT “you are joking me”.

    Hmm, big calves, the old problem trying to buy ski boots for the “normal” woman’s leg, when I’m sure they must be designed to only fit skinny-legged men!
    FWIW, I used to have Salomon (although a racing boot) and there were generally enough different (looser) positions on the leg clips to get a reasonable fit.
    I am going back about ten years to when I worked on a dry ski slope though.

    uncarpeted wood floors

    Surely that’s just the working class who can’t afford carpets? One wouldn’t dream of having bare floors, but then one also wouldn’t wish to be considered so lowly as middle class.

    This is Britain – we use miles. For proof, see road signs 😀

    End of argument.

    I’ve just bought a motorhome and you should have seen the salesman’s face when I took the keys off him and got into the driver’s seat, and t’other half got back in our car.

    You guys have made me laugh so much.

    Those comments are all jokes aren’t they? Surely?

    I had to google that and found this

    The planche is an advanced skill that requires months or years of preparation

    so I guess you’d have to be a gymnast to practice for months or years!

    I’ve used Web-Blinds for a few venetian blinds – seem perfectly ok and very cheap for made to measure. And quick delivery too.

    “The nerve’s dead, you won’t feel a thing”. I think the fact that there were two nurses holding me down proved that to be a lie.

    We had one of these – there were only two cars owned on my street, and the other was also a Ford Pop.

    We’ve had our Maxi Life for a couple of years or so – the third row of seats have been used twice in that time, but usually live out in the boiler room leaving loads of room for bikes, tents, inflatable kayak and various other toys. They weren’t easy to find when we got ours, but well worth a bit of a wait/search.

    I managed to get a whole £22 for a large dinner service on ebay – buyer collected – but no-one really wants the old designs these days, antique shops are full of them because they don’t sell.

    If you find a good jacket without lots of reflectiveness, you can get shapes that you can stick onto fabrics, not cheap, but work well and survive washing. i just can’t remember what make they were…

    I believe the engine and gearbox are back to front, hence the umbrella gearstick?

    Indeed, there was a rod went right across the engine to the gear box at the front of the car.
