I used to take my daughter on the back for occasional rides to school or trips out. She enjoyed it. I used a ” pillion pal” belt. It’s easy to forget that they’re there though. A couple of times I found out, oops.

Ignore the doom mongers, especially those who have never ridden a motorcycle.

As has been said, you’ll never hear the end of it if you crash with them on the back……….

Crush several paracetamol tableyts and mix it into peanut butter. Pop it down where you see the rats. Night night ratty.

Of course we are. We’re the top species in the food chain, the apex predator. We didn’t get here by shitting rainbows, cuddling puppies and handcuffing ourselves to trees. We’re a bunch of self serving, vicious apes. Is anybody really that surprised that we’ve royally **** the planet?

That’s just STW?. What about the rest of the population?

I’m off to buy a tin of pink poster paint, poor it over my car and park anywhere for as long as I like free of charge.

Where’s the water cannons that Boris bought? Clean the streets and give those crusty ****
a good wash too. Win win.

Not had any affect on my relationships with family or friends. But tben I don’t do social media, so I don’t post endless crap on social media belittling those who have a different opinion to me. Don’t discuss religion or politics, criticise their driving and you’ll get on with most people.

4 including my dad’s long service watch.

I wear one all the time, one very occasionally (a 35th wedding anniversary present from my wife) and the others never. Just replace the battery in one of them when it stops working.

I’d be interested in what cars are driven by all those tryimg their damndest to out do each other by forcing the slowest maximum speed on every else.

You all got 1 litre Micras ?

How many dad’s have you got?

Nice that you seem to consider his political views impact on you level of care though. Classy, but typical STW.

Lets just have unisex sport. No classifications, anyone who wants to compete can. No male or female just competitors.

Mmmm cos it’s not like any airline ever went bust before the referendum!

Change the **** record.

Do you just post random news items for our delectation or are we supposed to comment? Some **** clue would be welcome.

I bought a small folding Motorola phone to go in my jersey pocket when out on the bike. It was a little dearer than on ebay and about the same pricece as the cheapest payg phone from the high street retailers. It was in good condition, good battery and, as you say, you’ve got somewhere to go if it doesn’t work once you’ve got it home.

Our daughter’s just asked to “borrow” £400 to clear her council tax bill for the year. I guess that’s where my 2 free months money will go. Easy come, easy go I suppose.

Terrible driving. The driver with the dash cam needs to up their game if they’re going to engage in road rage. They had several chances to **** up the other car’s day and chose to do nothing other than pull alongside.

Very dissappointing.

Why does it scare the OP? Are they planning to drive in Germany?

Let’s see how willing you bunch of **** are to hand in your licences or take tests every couple of years when you get older.

Divorce for Christmas! I wasn’t thinking about spending that much.

The time for asking was before they did the work surely. Take it as a lesson and next time take 10 minutes to pop outside and make a coupke of phone calls before telling them to fix it.

There will be a 16 digit reference number on the email from the DVLA when you taxed the vehicle. You can use that.

Assuming that you have them an email address, and kept the mail, of course.

Thurrock Yacht Club. December 31st 1978 or January 1st 1979, can’t remember exactly as I was well pissed at the time.

Mrs Z thinks it was after midnight, but cannot be sure for the same reason as me. Never seen her drunk since. Must have learnt her lesson.

Ditchboth of them.

You’ll never come between her and her mum so you’re on a hiding to nothing either way.

Every penny she’s paying herself has come from someone’s <span class=”skimlinks-unlinked”>misery.</span>

What utter shite. Not everyone who enjoys a flutter is miserable or spending what they can’t afford to lose.

So what’s the scale of human empathy here exactly?

– If your child is abducted/murdered while you are downstairs then you get full sympathy and a full investigation.

– If you are less than 100m away in the garden but the front door was locked and you live somewhere nice then you get what, 80% sympathy and and 80% of the investigation?

– And if you are in the pub but less than 100m away and still in sight of the house then you deserve no sympathy or investigation as really its your own fault when you think about it?

Who is to blame then? The neighbours, the people you’re dining with, society?

They chose to repeatedly leave their children alone while they went out. Maddie asked them not to, but they put their enjoyment above the childrens wellbeing.

Somhow that’s someone else’s fault??

The money spent on this farce would’ve paid for a half decent babysitter.

Not sure why the Met feel it necessay to waste time on this. Do they investigate every crime involving brits abroad? No, so why is this one so important?

A chance to top up their tans and visit the duty free.

She’s dead, the parents know far more than they’re letting on in my opinion. Draw a line under it now.

If he’s successful I kind of hope that some woman meets him, shags him and then reports him to the police cos she identifies as an 8 year old.

Serve the **** right.

if you don’t know the answer how do you know she’s wrong?

The British Legion issue a guide, but no minimum donation is specified.

Thank heavens for that. An awful show. I loved the earlier format, but the two of them together just didn’t work for me. I enjoyed Jo’s evening show, but there was spark between them.

Sorry that Mayo is leaving, Sarah Cox gets my vote for the replacement.

Just typical of the Bedb to constantly alter things. Change for changes sake. You’d think they’d have learned something by now.

Nowt wrong with a brick through the window. Another one when it’s repaired.

Another recommendation for Giff Gaff. I use one of their sims in an old phone I take when out on the bike. Provided it is used once every six months the credit lasts until it’s spent.

So, you can use it but he can’t!  As you say, hypocracy on  a grand scale. But then it is tbe STW way. Crack on.

Perhaps explain how it didn’t **** up your life but it will his.

Why not lock your car?

Involver, do you ensure that everything you do does not impact on anyone else in any way? I doubt it.

It’s the wheel specs that need to be the same, offset,  hole spacing etc that you need to check, not the tyre size.

they are really cool, well they are if you are a 12 year old boy who still wets the bed…….

Or a 60 year old man who doesn’t give a shit what you think.

One wonders how understanding the OP would be if the shoe was on the other foot?

Something tells me he’d be demanding that the repairs were done to the highest standard without it costing him a penny.

If your going to ride all through the year get a bike with decent mudguards. My Z1000 is great fun on my commute in dry weather. It’s a pain in the wet as the hugger offers bugger all protection from spray when it’s  raining.

The bike gets very dirty as do my clothes.

Your hands will get cold so good gloves or heated grips are well worth having, if not essential.

I’d go for an upright bike rather than a sportsbike. Better contol and vision for the rush hour, especially if you’re doing a lot of urban miles.

Get something big enough to keep you interested. You’ll think most bikes are quick when you first start riding but you’ll soon start to use more and more of the power and then find you need more.

Don’t race other commuters. It gets silly filtering at 3 figure speeds. Certainly wakes you up though.

Two neighbours were involved in a spat. Someone poured honey over on of their car’s windscreen.

Seemed to be very difficult to remove.

Bake the piss takers a “special” cake.

There must beca special ingredient you can add to theirs, courtesybof your wife.

Buy a motorbike.

Post about it on the internet in the hope that he reads your post and turns over a new leaf. Job done.
