RIP, very talented comedienne.
Personal favourite being, when discussing her fictional son Malcolm, she expressed happiness that Malcolm was going to a concert with a friend having overheard him discussing taking his friend up the Gary Glitter.

Also remember, whether you think you can,or think you cant-You’re right !

The Essex boys infamous Range Rover (F424 NPE from memory) is still being driven despite the three occupants inside being blasted to smithereens with a shotgun

I”d become a Firefighter,the ladies love it and it`s a relative doddle.
My best mate and next-door neighbour are both Firefighters so it`s not said from ignorance.

Still sat at my desk in grotty BS5 after an 11 hour day,banging headache as usual,currently watching 2 cats bitterly fighting in the industrial yard outside and feeling very envious of their lifestyles and freedom.

Fascinating and largely irrelevant Melksham fact-It has its very own UFC MMA fighter,Bradley Scott,pretty impressive for a sleepy backwater town.

Paradoxically does anybody worry about accepting that amount of cash?
There”s an awful lot of counterfeit notes in circulation,and it would be an easy way of getting rid of some dodgy notes.

+ 1 for the Lizard Skin Northshore,virtually eliminated arm-pump and always the first modification with a new bike for me.

No gangs of beer-bellied full-faced helmeted gnar-monsters in the car-park stonewalling anybody on less than 160 travel then ?
Stuff that,BPW it is then ……. 😉

Thanks for the feedback guys,always looking for somewhere new to ride so this could be the answer,probably try to combine it with some coastal camping this weekend.

So I’d like to think I’d won Facebook with this little gem earlier….
Somebody posted the content of her child’s diaper/nappy in which the faeces were smudged into a perfect cross,the mother somewhat tongue in cheek (no pun intended) suggested it was proof of the Lords existence which prompted heated discussions regarding blasphemy and all things religious.
My input,of which I’m still extremely proud,just one word-Skidmata.

Just recovering from 2 ocular migraines within 3 days,completely out of the blue and very disconcerting.
Interestingly both on days I hadn’t eaten much either,usually take Zolmitriptan for the pain.
Horrible things,generally stress related for me

Pretty much all of the above,covering 2 x relationships over approximately 30 years.
Im happily single now.

We had a similar issue,but with a yellow citrus fruit.
We even drafted in a couple of elderly Detectives,but to no avail.
Their verdict? Lemon-entry Dear Watson…..

Unfortunately I have to concur,it definitely sounds like her thoughts are with another and she`s creating distance rather than having to deal with the consequences and avoid awkwardness.
The early to bed/fortnight away stuff is just her creating oppertunities for her to text or social media the guy in relative safety,and after being on both sides of that coin I recognise the deception involved.
There are ways back from is though,but you may as well just be honest with your (our ? ) suspicions and hope for the best outcome.

That,and people that don”t read the previous posts before posting,obviously ..

People,most often on FB,that feel the need to declare “rant over” at the end of their child-like and usually pretty damned pointless rant.

It`s fairly clear-cut to me,if you are not being paid for it then why feel pressure to attend ?
Had a similar issue recently when Operations director suggested that as I now run the Branch alone its only right that I become the call-out guy for the Alarm etc but of course they couldnt pay me anything extra apart from overtime if I do get called-out.My response was that maybe they should advertise this new nightshift post as a seperate position with complete lack of monetary reward and to let me know how many people apply for it.

Currently getting this at work premises,I run a business on an inner city trading estate and we”re inundated with kids every evening,I’m usually the last one working late and they’re a real nuisance.
Often its only the youngsters harmlessly kicking a ball around,but when the older kids turn up its chaotic.
I’ve tried reasoning/threatening/laughing and joking etc and they’re just normal cheeky little blighters,same as we all were at that age I suppose.Spoke to the community police with no real response ,its a busy estate with many skips and 2x glass based businesses and associated waste ,its only a matter of time until one of them gets hurt I guess

It”s currently at 6 weeks and counting,very unusual for me as i”d normally be rabid by now.Really just CBA with it at the mo,very strange

Are we talking the ridiculous climb out from the drop down into the combe,ie through the stream x 5 times to the end near the bee hives,across the narrow plank then look up in disbelief ? Never even get close to cleaning that.
Also the last bit of climb from Hodders Combe,Ladys Edge,always gets me too.

Sleeping bag for a three-year-old

Sounds like a fair swap to me-When d`ya want to pick him up ? And how many Togs are the sleeping bag

That`s great news,really fills a void in that area

Me too ! You had an erection too,right ?

^ ^Lol @tinybits,TMA’s FTW eh ! Lmao …

Yep always tip,I kind of see it as a fair compromise for them not mentioning the rapid onset male-pattern baldness,almost like hush-money if you will.
That awkward day is coming though,cant really expect them to hide a Rugby ball behind a thinning toothbrush for ever…
To be fair they`re both great at what they do and nice people too.

I do,every time I visit my dentist,GP or Lawyer.
And also whenever I see an advert for expensive and hardly-used Golf Clubs for sale

Great news,one of my favourite trails and less than an hour away too.

I’ve always seen Creation as a bit of a gateway drug …

Hodders Combe is a must,one of the prettiest natural trail sections that I know,runs parallel to a beautiful stream,breathtaking. Smiths Combe too,both decent climbs/descents but unforgettable for beauty.

Thanks for the responses guys,some comedy gold right there but given the nature of the subject its to be expected of you all.
Its definitely more a lack of desire though,everythings still working just fine for when the mood takes me,still have all of my own hair thanks Tom (tenner to your charity of choice please )but it doesn`t excite me anything like it used to.To the extent that within the last 4 months there have been 2 separate occasions when I”ve chosen biking over an afternoon sesh with the g/f,which she (eventually) found hilarious after she”d stopped crying.
The new g/f is up for it all of the time which definitely takes the intrigue away from it,hope she begins to appreciate “quality” over quantity sometime soon.TBH after constant and mainly emotionally draining relationships i”m just tired of the female mind,body and soul,if they even have souls that is.
Definitely misogynist material imho ….

Lived here most of my life,and as per the general consensus the ridiculous traffic and RPZ’s/20 mph zones are completely strangling the City if you drive.
On the upside once you manage to escape the City boundaries then an hour in most directions will take you somewhere glorious to ride,Fly up 417 project about to become live too adding a Northerly option the the options

Its an awesome ride and one of my favourites also,particularly with a dusting of Snow on the hills last weekend.
I’ll try again soon and report back.

You can buy Omeprazole over the counter,higher strength stuff via prescription.
This usually sorts it after a few dsys ,used to swear by the Pepcid two chewable tabs until they pulled them from the shelves.
Omeprazole works though

This was from crossing the Canal at the pub then keeping left all the way up to the top via the nasty fire-road climb.
I’m blaming the headwind for now …..

Its definitely pivotal for me,I couldnt possibly ride anything that I didnt feel “fly” on or whatever the cool kidz call it now.
I often see versions of my 2 bikes in completely unappealing colours and they wouldnt inspire me to ride them at all.
I guess its the same with clothes,shoes,cars etc though isn`t it ?

Slimjim I call lies,with access to a Berocca tube there’s no way you inserted just the lozenges

Nostalgia overload anybody ?
RD350 LC pre-YPVS,that little dip at 5 and a half thousand revs then yiiiiiiiingggggggg.
IT465 on the road,full enduro spec and tyres,drum brakes all round and pre-mix was a pain but such a fun bike,challenged physics every day on that thing.
Suzuki AP50,first bike first taste of freedom,never forgotten (TEU 910S) Memories of seizures and many a holed piston flooding back now,Micron pipes mmmmmmmm……

Yep times 2,still love my Neon Orange 5 and bought a s/h Zesty last year in 26 too.
TBH I`m tempted to sell both to buy something more modern in 27.5 but no great rush,love both bikes anyway

Every single day,without fail.To the point its almost arranged bar a few minor details,just awaiting that final straw to break the camel’s back…..
Could be mid-life crisis too I guess ,either way I’ve definitely lost my sparkle and have never been this snappy and unfulfilled.
