Thanks!

Been gone a while then, if so.

Felix really is As Good As It Looks!

When does it start?

Put on your pants, put on your vest,

Everyone agree, string is best!

While we were crossing Scandinavia on our tandem, we made a stop at the Sami town of Kautokeino in Norway. It’s home to about 3,000 people, way up on the Finmark Plateau.  We stayed on a campsite where the owner had erected a Lavvu for the use of guests, and every night he and the guests would sit around the campfire in the Lavvu drinking Sami coffee and sitting on reindeer hides.

One of the people we met there was a Dutchman called Franz, who now lived in Sweden. He was travelling south by bus and we arranged to meet him a few days later just over the Swedish border, which we did.

Then we went our separate ways.

Two years later we took the same tandem on the Coast and Castles ride. We arrived at the Youth Hostel in Edinburgh, and who should walk in ten minutes later but Franz.

That did my bonce in.

Blimey! A man of steel! Best of luck.

Will they all march up to Jarrow demanding employment?

Well, that’s showbusiness!

Lyanda. What a beautiful name.

Thanks for updating us, gnusmas, I hope you get some comfort from sharing your news. When my Dad died it was a numb feeling and the humdrum jobs of organising a funerl etc helped keep me going but I didn’t feel any kind of release until the funeral itself.

Done…I hope, though the Share with Facebook page crashed.

My grandfather drowned in a barrel of varnish.

it was a horrible end, but a lovely finish.

No access, no subsidy!

This is very disappointing btw

Four pairs per spider?

I know how to get a toddler to eat sprouts.

Tell him it’s bogies.

Totally with scuttler. The bastards even have the nerve to claim govt subsidies for grouse shooting!

Oh dear. No words.

“But he also gave us Little and Large….”

Anyone want to post a video of an Imam slapping a baby, just to even things up?

I have my man ride alongside and hold it on a silver saucer.

Wee in your shoes.

Take wetwipes for a bedbath.

Take your rubbish away.

It’s been like this since 1066. We had our opportunities to put all thosde entitled heads on pikes and we missed most of them. Brexit is the stupidest thing since the Restoration but we’ve long since rolled over and let them take what they want from us. It’s over.

Two doughty ladies in Durham have filed over 25 applications between them already. Chances of Durham County Council processing them before 2050 look remote.

With a cake fork, innit?

Twice this week I’ve been driving up steep, winding roads in the district and encountered cyclists riding up the hill. As I’ve sat behind them waiting for the sight lines to improve, I have had other drivers come up behind me and gesticulate at me for failing to pass them on a bend or blind summit. They both got a hand signal in return.

Speechless

£3.50 for a cup of coffee. Daylight robbery.

Tree fellers needed.

I thought there was a voluntary agreement not to ride there. This has now  become a ban, it seems. However, yes – it’s busy and therefore rubbish to ride like any busy path.

A few heads on pikes might help concentrate minds.

It’s definitely Yanny

Gammon over to my place.

Heyyy, we’re havin’ a (Democratic Unionists) Party.

I was in a jazz club in Prague when one of the musicians accidentally turned over two sheets of the music. The results were quite discordant but nobody seemed to mind.

Hawkwind must be the ultimate revolving door band!

I’m only eating bread and trilbies at the moment.

I’m on a loaf hat diet.

Totally agree with everything here. It’s pretty terrible around where I live (NW Durham) and even worse in the lanes around Gateshead. Durham County Council has an online reporting system and I end up reporting entire lengths of roads. I get automated emails back saying they have “added it to our programme of works” but how long that list is and how long it takes for one at the bottom to reach the top Lord only knows. I suspect the council is simply spending nothing on the problem for a year or two to make savings.

Solutions:

Deposit schemes

Ban drive-through restaurants

Microchip everything from coffee cups to car tyres. If we can put them in our pets it can’t be too difficult to do this.

Education

Enforcement

Kill them.

The UK is **** filthy, it is the first thing I notice when back visiting, frankly the population needs a kick up its lazy arse.

That.

But have you had your tit fill?
