Pulses do not need to be soaked for 24 hrs if you use a pressure cooker. Just treat them as a ‘fresh’ ingredient.

Chin up, Ton. We will all be rooting for you.

My thoughts will be with you, fella.

Appeeling though the idea seems, I reckon its a toll!

Just east of J36 you have the delight of Farleton Fell and Lupton High, etc. Detailed routes are available on Bogtrotters site, I believe.

Tough, mf!

Tonight I be suffering from man flu. I self-prescribed a bottle of Lagavulin. TBH, I’m not all that bothered about a cure. I’m enjoying the moment! :)

Here’s where it all kicks off! Typical insensitive Elfin posting of a canal towpath dead end! :)

I saw a blind fat guy …………and the inevitable impact with signpost ensued.

If the impact was with his head, I would have been concerned, so 2. If with his gut, then 1.

Big hugs, Ton. Clearly the hivemind is rooting for you 100%. Take joy at uniting the dissident factions, but please don’t knock canal side riding. I wear full body armour on my local towpath. Bloody kids chucking stuff! :)

…and eating a fish pie! :)

Dammit, Woody, that’s what I was going to say! :)

Stuffed Badger.

The Wat Tiers Four.

Who gives a cluck? :)

America is pregnant with promise and anticipation….

Before buying the cheapest wireless printer on the planet, take some time to offset where you can buy the cheapest ink!

When will people learn the differences between the ‘Highway Code’ and the law.

Amen, sharki! Good to see you are doing well.

I’m a widower,and I had 23yrs of genuinely happy coupledom.
I have a dedicated team of daughters, supplemented by an elderly, disabled, inherited FiL, who regularly carry out ‘destructive testing’ on any new relationship I form.
Thankfully, it supposedly ensures my future happiness! :(

Tossers in cars. seemed to be an inordinate number today – driving in bus lanes, making manoeuvres without signalling, driving 2″ away from me trying to get past 30M from a red light

I’d be inclined to scare them off with my axe! :)

Happy St Georges day! :)
