Thanks Louise.

Lost interest after 3 or 4 paragraphs. From what I gather, your employment was base on writing? Hmmmm……….

Yes, bit like taxes.

Good point well made, Richmars.

Agree, Count. Sadly my eyesight precludes a return to modelling, but if anything would tempt me that would. Stunning.

Can’t say I’m overly familiar with the Danish accent, but the visuals tend to be of the highest order. IGMC

Probably one of the minority that thinks tj(again) types sense, but sadly on this occasion it’s tosh. Add punk to franks list and you’re there, though The Tubes? Really? Just pulled out Hissing of Summer Lawns and Blood on the Tracks for this afternoons listening…………

Thought this was a thread about going on holiday to the Isle of Wight…….

Dunno what her speaking voice was like, but a crooning Lucinda Williams used to do it for me,

5th post nails it. Grum speaks sense.

It’s Too Late To Stop Now – Van Morrison. Original release wins, but honourable mentions to vols 2,3&4.
Live at Leeds obviously.
Feelgoods Stupidity is also a favourite of mine.
Springsteens Hammersmith Odeon set is excellent, especially on vinyl, but there are better shows of his available thru Nugs imho. I’d have to go with Agora 78 but it’s a tough call. More recently The River show in Rome is also very special, along with the MetLife sets. If you want to talk about boots it gets a lot more difficult to narrow down………..

Sorry Pondo. I liked the sense of control conveyed by the op, underpinned by the threat of extreme violence beneath an apparently calm surface. Or is that just me?

I’m with bear, I rate it. Maybe even an 8.

Here in rural Oxfordshire it could be seen as a pretty pointless excercise, however I made the effort if only to give two fingers to the incoming, self-serving Tory that will no doubt replace the previous self serving Tory, the truly odious Melinda Tilley for those of you who are local.

Was her name Louise?

Mystified by Twitter. I really did try. Is Instagram easier, or should a 56yo stick with vellum and quill?

Anyone else got the ‘ V3: better knees in 5 days ‘ advert half way down this thread?

Liking the p29 pic………

Welcome to a world of pain. After a while you start to enjoy it.

Ed Vaizey. Minor expenses fiddling and Cameron chum.
£50k a year for 1 day a week with an investment bank which specialises in media and tech mergers & acquisitions. At least he had the good grace to wait until May moved him on from his junior minister role in culture, communications & creative industries. Number of meetings with them while still in position though.
Happy to turn up for a photo opportunity, but otherwise does little that I can see.

Don’t worry about waffling -if it helps in any way to get it out there then it’s all good.
Best of luck to you all.

We entertain our ‘guests’ in other ways.

Use one for running in really foul weather.
Contrary to some of the above, it’s not impressed me. Replaced a Gore wind stopper which was much better imho.
Sizes up big – should have returned for size down.
Front zip is agricultural. Almost impossible to get started with the jacket on.
Not particularly breathable – invariably wet inside after even short runs. I am a sweaty b*st*rd, admittedly.

Singlespeed +1

500 miles here, so every 3 or 4 months depending on how much biking I’m doing. Really feel the difference when I crack open a new pair. If the cost of replacing this often is an issue then do as I do, shop around for last seasons colour way, or preceding version. Usually save 40-50%, and buy a couple of pairs if the deal is good.

No associated leg muscle soreness as far as I can tell.
Tried Alpro for a while, now on lactose free milk. Really miss cheese, but found a reasonable cheddar so macaroni cheese back on the menu. Yay. Small pleasure eh.
Can be awkward eating out on occasion with Italian being pretty much a no-no.
The stricter I am in avoiding the better I feel. If anything my sensitivity seems to be worsening, with a reaction within an hour or two so a bit of effort in managing is really a necessity.

She’s fabulously wealthy, glamorous and gives good box-office. Go figure.

Yuk. Left it all behind a long time ago, and glad to do so. While I remain proud of much of my Scottish background, the one thing I loathe is the religious bigotry. Made my mid to late teens pretty miserable at times.

Just go on the lash in Edinburgh.

£144! Must resist……..

I am the King of the alley and I can talk some trash

If your Lego itch needs scratching have a look at the Technic RC Tracked Racer. Good set and gives you a handy set of tracks for other projects.

Cat AIDs?

Two pairs of 20 year old atac carbons here. Take em apart every few years, clean, replace bearings, grease and reassemble. Sorted. Alliums on the 3rd bike.
Can’t recommend them highly enough.

Can recommend the Cotswold Gin, with pink grapefruit & Fever Tree tonic.

You need to cut down on this ‘cycling’ malarkey, mate.

😀 @ BadlyWiredDog.
Seems barbecue season has arrived.

Yeah, agree that Tim Vine is current master.

3 options:
Replace the headset with black
Go full silver – did so on a build myself last year and could limit component options
Say to hell with it, go with rasta and misalign your valves & tyre logos to really antagonise the bike tarts.

Lots out between Hampton Norreys and Ashampstead. Think they’re Spanish tho’. Still nice to look at.

I always assumed CFH was male. Well, you live & learn.
