I’ll put a fiver on the owner being ginger.

@Edukator
It was here that got us into trouble. It was all right to ride your bike over there but not over here you see.

I went for a pee in the Blue Peter garden.

So it was you!
No wonder their time capsule went rusty.

..I’ve also ridden my mountain bike offroad in Austria. I’m an internationally wanted man.

We rode our tandem on the gravel in front of Sanssouci Palace, Potsdam, Germany and got severely reprimanded by a man in a grey uniform.

Yes

Ring Sting

I would, but I don’t have his number.
Never keep the Deep Heat and the Anusol on the same shelf.

when I was a kid, not long after E.T. brought this idea into our cultral landscape, it was considered by my dad that ‘trick or treat’ meant give us a trick or a treat, and was a gamble on the part of the kid.

We only knew of it through Peanuts cartoons. “Dear Great Pumpkin…”

lovely creatures. We sometimes see one chasing bunnies across the Durham fellsides.

is the conversion easy LoCo ?

A man is able to admit his homosexuality to his peers, thanks to…Irish beer!

what will we do when the gas starts running out”

What will we do when the uranium starts running out?

I heard somewhere that Wonder suffered head injuries in a car accident and was never the same again.

The worst is definitely whatever waste of space plays on Instant Karma. The only drums that actually annoy me.

That’s Alan White, but I think the fault lies with Phil Spector who produced it.

Jaki Leibezet from Can is no slouch…

+1 for that, that’s a great track.

I generally go for less flash, more drive – Ringo, Moon, Charlie Watts, Kenny Jones, Al Jackson Jr. John Densmore, Pip Pyle, Pierre Moerlen (one of the exceptions), Simon King (Hawkwind), Dave Grohl, Patrick Keeler (Raconteurs).

I think I fall fowl of this rule “At no time should the cheeky percentage of your total ride total more than 50% “

Like anyone else is checking.

It’s not the trails, it’s the place.

Incredible – one in every three beers sold in the world, and I never touch any of ’em.

“you don’t pay road tax”

My current response is, “No, but I see you’re in the top band for idiot tax!”

It’s a long, sharp shock.

Figs are where we get facon from

I know an old lady who swallowed a fly.

It’s Bistro 21 at Aykley Heads, not Cafe 21 but same people. Great food and they do 3 courses for £20 if you get there before 6.30

The guy who took ours got a conditional discharge, despite him jemmying our garage open at 2am to get them and making off with 4 bikes.
He was also ordered to pay us £500 compensation. Guess how much of that I’ve seen?

Edit

We had neighbours who had 2 whippets. Whenever they were left alone they would whine nonstop. (The dogs, not the neighbours, just to be clear).

Total PITA, I’ve posted a warning on Hamsterley Trailblazers Facebook page as a result of this. Let’s hope it stops it happening to anyone else.

A tailwind

Well if there’s no urgency, why not go away again? You’ll soon know if you are depressed if you find your low mood persisting while you are away. The “nothing in the pipeline” feeling is depressing – and trying to visualise your life stretching ahead of you as one of daily drudgery will certainly make it worse! Best not to go there. maybe make a list of the skills you have and the aspects of your work that you do like and think about what might offer most opportunities to emphasise those aspects?
Maybe do something short-term and different – maybe voluntary if you can afford to mage without an income for a little longer. it might surprise you.

which you (and I) have now seemingly missed..

..and nearly everyone else judging by the poor turnout where we were. Leo Sayer in the main auditorium was doing much better business.

Interesting you say that. I too have been wondering whether there is more to my indecision and lack of interest in work related activities.

Not just this but the fact you were disappointed by your tour. Maybe you were wondering why you weren’t enjoying yourself more?

Just had a flashback to the spam fritters that used to be served at my Primary school. Even as 7 years old I remember thinking how disgusting they were.

Ooh yes, when you cut into them a big flood of grease ran out onto the plate.

You think he’d have got it out of his system by now.

Are you sure you are feeling well in your mind? I found inability to decide what I wanted to do with myself, other than knowing “it isn’t this”, or the idea of a particular kind of work filling me with dread, closely connected to anxiety and depression.
Just sayin’.

Putoline Dream

Since everyone is talking about him today I thought I would revive this thread…

That awful feeling when you realise you’re not alone in your own spacesuit.
