Great stuff. Well,done everyone. I bought a mug which I’m happy with, small gesture but hopefully every penny helps.

I think you can, I have my personal and work phone ; just download the phone books for each. You can set a phone as “favourite ” too.

Anyone got a proflex?! Always wanted one of those when I was a lad.

Do you work in my office? They guy next to me is as noisy as a donkey. Gets on my…………

Space. More to see, and would be interesting chasing your food around like a fish!

Thanks for the replies so far. I currently earn £45k per year. With the second job the pay rate would be £100 per day but then paying my own tax , NI etc. I couldn’t see me doing more than 2 days per month with the second job, but I have to drive my own car to the location ( various race tracks in the uk) . So it would be fun thrashing others cars about doing instruction etc but including the travel time each way and the ‘work’ when there it doesn’t come to much if you divide it by the hour ( it would be a 7 hour working day ) what you would pick up. Appreciate I’m fortunate enough to earn good money and anything else is a nice bonus for which I’d be grateful.

Thanks for the replies so far. Yes it has occurred to me ” is it worth it” what when I’ve paid various taxes and so on what I pickup . Appreciate I’m fortunate enough to be offered extra paid work for something I’d be doing for fun, but instructing someone else means I’m not out there doing myself so much, so pros and cons.

Thanks for the replies . I think it’s a ‘catalogue’ picture of the bike.

Love these threads…lost my springer, Heidi back in September so nice to see happy dogs.

Womble…your picture makes me chuckle. Your dog doesn’t look impressed with having his photo taken!!

This is your spinningfields Thai place. Very good by all accounts .

I do nowadays no longer have the wallet in my back pocket where possible !

Nice to see a lot of members of the public out also to support his family, friends, colleagues and the force when the Police are often criticised. (mainly by scumbags).

RIP.

What’s the difference between the rab microlight and the microlight alpine?just the hood?

Cheers … East is east ( river ) isn’t far from my office, plus always fancied it myself… 😀

I’m currently reading his first book; it’s an easy read . Goes along the lines of raced a bike, crashed it, swapped teams, done a bit of tv, had a brew.

I like guy, but can’t see me reading the next book.

Yep the whole NW will be on melt down. Don’t fancy being stuck on there all night though.

Mine arrived safe and well. The postman chucked it over the gate for safe keeping! But it’s intact. It’s a standard size brew mug really.

Nearly a month ( tomorrow ) since I said goodbye to my Heidi. She was 13 years old. Miss her like mad, but it’s nice to see other spaniels.

Here’s me and Heidi doing a selfie in the snow.

Yes it did a little, not too bad. Never knew something the width of a biro would go in there… 😯

Ah yes the gel. Never knew it was a two way tunnel…

Those Wolf landrovers are fast as…..for a Land Rover . One over took me once on the A55 with a trailer. I was doing just over ‘ahem’ 70 mph…

I’d always walk away , there’s always a better deal around the corner, just depends how much you want to look for it. They generally call you back anyhow… They want to sell that particular car asap . Play them a little. Always worked for me.

Uretha update! Went the hospital last week and received a vigorous inspection of my bits, which was a bonus on the NHS!!
😯
Doctor then said he wanted to inspect my prostate which I was t expecting! 😯 no issues and the letter I received today said it was ” smooth and small” which is a good thing! I’ll put that as my Twitter bio!!!

To rule any kidney / bladder issues out, the consultant needs to inspect these…x-Ray or scan I thought….nope…a ca,era down the Japs Eye!! So wince for me next Thursday morning when this is taking place…

Consultant thinks all ok, but to be fair to the NHS I’ve had a very thorough check up!!

Yes i used it free on my EE account for 2 years and really enjoyed it and got a lot of use from it, could save music offline and it had a lot of choice, but now EE and Deezer are no longer offering the service together, so if i wish to use it, it’ll cost £10 p/m. I may consider it but there is obviously others too!

i have a free deezer account (with EE) and now i notice to store music offline you have to pay a fee. I’ve tried again just now to cast my music from my iphone, but when i press the cast button the Deezer ‘subscribe now’ ad comes up! Don’t think i’ll be paying.It works fine from Google chrome on my browser.

I’ve not bothered with Deezer on the Chromecast anymore, in fact i’ve not used it for a while. I dont have a spoitfy account. I did email Deezer about this and they replied, i’ll see if i can find it!

i never got far with my issue so no further forward i’m afraid! Good luck

I’ve bought the offer, worth a punt for the light alone!

Follow the link and it goes direct to the light offer, the code has already been applied so you don’t need to key it in again to the basket.

Money back guarantee. If no light , just cancel?

forgive my ignorance, but how does the format of an Enduro run?

Thanks for all your words, it helps.mhard not having her about, maybe we take them for granted. Got up to go the loo during the night and normally I’d pop my head in the back bedroom where she slept to see how she was ( she used to like sleeping in back bedroom on spare bed!) but it’s hard knowing she’s not here. Had some great times, some good adventures together and lots of happy times.

yes she had lovely eyes, i think she thought she was a human! to be fair, she was treated like one, but she deserved it!

yes, they’re never easy to read these threads, but i know dogs give a lot of pleasure. they can also break your heart. 🙁 she had a good life and was loved and cared for throughout. She’ll be up there now with all those tennis balls…! 😯

Sad news, but best of luck Jenn and get well soon.

I’ve bought a mug to raise some funds for the charities concerned.

Keep strong.

First of all dont go….its’ rubbish. You’d really hate it…

In reality, its great and we love the place. Just come back last week from 10 days in Rovinj (ooop north). Stayed at the Hotel Lone which is right on the coast and next to (literally) Zlatni forest, which is ideal for cycling, running and nice walks. Weather was pleasant, 32c for the first few days then cooled down to 28c!

Rovinj itself is pretty, lots to see and do, as is the immediate area; hire a car if you can and explore. Lots to see and do.

We have in the past been to Dubrovnik twice and also visited Hvar,Korcula, Miljet (national park = amazing) and Sipan.

People all very friendly and helpful. Whilst Croatia is in the EU it is not in the Euro currency (for now). We found it pretty cheap to get by for food and drink and so on. A meal for two with starters and a couple of drinks is around £25.00.

Find a local supermarket and food is cheap in there too if you’re going self catering etc. Wine is expensive though!

Besides that a lovely place, great countryside, mix of people, ages, cultures and lots to see and do.

I’d recommend Dubrovnik for a mix of city break and beach and explore but also Rovinj.

Get out there, but don’t tell too many people what it’s like eh….

I got issued a pair for work duties also; worn them all year round for long periods and they’re comfortable and warm. One of most comfortable pairs of boots I’ve had. Good service from Altberg too.

My favourite is a Fray Bentos pie! I know they probably contain all sorts of stuff I’d rather not know about , but with so,e chips and beans, they’re mega.

I’ve always used HH ones. Good value and durable.

Love a springer. Got my own, Heidi, who’s now 13. Although she has a nasty tumour
