Peugeot Partner/Tepee. I can turn the front wheel to drop into the footwell behind the passenger seat. The rear seats need to come out.

I’ve just started wearing a helmet cam and noticed one of the first effects is that I suppress my urge to gesticulate and shout. Instead I think, “I’ve got you on video, numbnuts,” and smile at the thought of dobbing them in to the police later.
Then, when I look at the footage later, it rarely looks worth the bother of reporting.
Having said that, today I passed over footage of a driver punishment-passing me in Gateshead yesterday. When I checked his reg with DVLA he had no tax or MoT.
Revenge is a dish, and all that…

It’s my fault. Four weeks ago I topped up my S&S ISA for the first time in 10 years.

Re council online row, I find the below a lot, lot better

http://www.rowmaps.com/

First search I tried with this turned up an inaccurate depiction of a RoW. It also isn’t the legal Definitive Map.

You’re better taking RoW lines from your local council’s online Definitive Map which is more up to date than the OS and, by definition, shows the official line.

Freewheeling France also goes with Jeu de pedalier

Will the customs and passport controls be in Ireland, Scotland or in the middle?

Outstanding find! Some great driving skills on show and now I want an Austin 8…

Yes

^Nice bit of victim blaming from the Tufty Club there. Bloody copper didn’t even speak to the driver.

I came up with an idea for moving money around the Internet, long before PayPal. (It wasn’t the same). I even rang up a millionaire investor of my vague acquaintance to put it to him but he said “it’s not business to business “ whatever that meant.

+1 for a hand built set. Spa Cycles in Harrogate did me a set for my winter bike (onLX hubs but all kinds of options) and they are tough and go just as quick as my summer wheels.

As indicated by the above answer, too much immigration is anyone who got here after my people.

Positives for Friday:
All the Brexit/UKIP MEP’s out of a job.
The EU can get on with business without the deadweight of the British (Englixh actually) dragging it down.
A strengthening of the EU’s unity as other nation states watch the UK shitshow.
er…

We took an AirB&B place at La Bastide de Virac, not far from Vallon Pont D’Arc. It’s one of numerous pretty old villages that’ve been scrubbed up (a bit too much in my opinion). Valon v. busy but lots of other nice towns to visit, especially Barjac and away from the Gorge itself its easy to find solitude.
Excellent cycling and walking thoughout. Lots of limestone pavement.
Very hot!

I’m sure the Rev. Fraser, and many other men and women of practising faith, would agree.

But what follows from this? Moderate believers agree the Good Books are not to be taken entirely at face value. So which bits can be relied on? Which bits cannot? Who decides? If some bits are unreliable, is the whole canon unreliable? Do we just accept the bits that are feely/touchy (as the choirboy said to the bishop) and leave out the stuff that’s a bit killy/slavey?

Ooh yes, and:
Gwook – any kid’s haircut that makes gives the impression that the back of his head extends backwards about a foot. Quite common in the 1970s. Can now also mean any sticking out bit of hair but a true gwook is a thing of joy.

bubby = bread

Hey, we had that! My dad called bread “bubbies”. I still do. Perhaps from bread baps/women’s breasts.
Also:
Derbedees – Strawberries, from my sister’s toddlerhood.
Amoons = animals, from my wife’s sister.
Squirrets = squirrels, from my father in law who wrote an essay about squirrels when at school, crossing the l every time he wrote the word.
nooniac = a crazy kid. My brother’s word for his more energetic playmates.

Aaand the results are in!
Great tit 2
Blue tit 6
Coal tit 1
Chaffinch 6
Robin 1
Goldfinch 6
Tree Sparrow 1
Greater Spotted Woodpecker 1
Nuthatch 1
Jackdaw 6.

I think it mainly shows I have trouble counting above 6. Very surprised not to see a blackbird, but haven’t seen one in our garden for quite a while. Last year we had a sweet flock of long tailed tits dropping by every day – not seen them this year either.

When you break wind, does it make a sound like a Japanese motorcycle?

Not taking too many vitamins supplements are you? I think vitamin A poisoning looks like that.

Scurvy?

Of a similar ilk – how to build a steam locomotive.

Quite mind boggling. Even the building of the machinery to build the engine is an incredible achievement.

I had one from an Aldi car park I ignored it. The follow-up letter also went in the bin. I heard nothing more.
That’s my experience.

I’d ignore it.

Can you find a news outlet that would describe what he did without mentioning he was out on licence for a murder?

Pish

By the way folks, many of Durham’s bypasses were built on the bed of old railway lines but I don’t see Holden doing the “sensible thing” and demanding them back for rail services again.

Drac, it may be “unclear”about how busy/fast the trains may run but I’ll stick my neck out and say it’s unlikely to be a narrow gauge steam service running at 20mph.

Thanks Drac, I know it. Not really the same though? That’s a cycling facility where none existed before, not a major country park railway line into the Tyneside connurbation used by thousands of people, part of the C2C etc. Do that on the Derwent Walk and at best you halve the space available for walking, cycling and horse riding. Plus there’s a bit of a difference between a weekend steam service and a busy commuter rail line with trains passing at 60mph or whatever.

It was his election pledge, presumably when he thought he wouldn’t have to deliver it.

The catch is, see where they are standing? That’s the whole width of the old line. How’s this going to be shared between cyclists, walkers and trains? and there’s two more viaducts like that one.

@Drac where’s “here” exactly? I’d like to see what’s been done.

Awww. I saw him on the Bonzo’s Reunion Tour. An hilarous night out.

Don’t you know this is how the VW Beetle was invented?

650b does not bring the trails alive.

Gaaah! Sabotaged by my sister in law with 4 hrs 10 mins to go.

My uncle gifted me a glow-worms colouring book (price printed on the cover iirc £1) with 5 felt tip pens. I was 15.

That’s punishment for anyone using the word “gifted”.

^That’s the method (what ceept said). I can’t remember any circumstance where I haven’t been able to use an ordinary spanner on the locknut doing it this way.

Had no trouble with Pedro’s, had mine for 10 years
