    cinnamon girl

    A very good q Malvern Rider. Tories are deliberately ignoring those of us with long term Lyme disease. Last year’s new NICE guidelines meant progress in that new or suspected bites would have a protocol to follow. However, the NHS claim that antibiotics clears the infection yet there is no proof of this. Patients are then told “…

    I’m watching my mental health and …….

    The old man was my proxy…. He stuck two crosses down for Labour… 👍

  • alpin replied to the topic 2019 General Election in the forum Chat Forum alpin2 days agoalpin

    When did Germany last have a single party majority government?

    I get quite surprised and/or confused looks when I explain to people how UK Parliament works…..

  • alpin replied to the topic 2019 General Election in the forum Chat Forum alpin2 days agoalpin

    I’ve had that feeling since the morning after the 2016 referendum.

    VERY much this…..

  • alpin replied to the topic VW Caravelle guidance please (clueless Swedish content) in the forum Chat Forum alpin3 days agoalpin

    caravelle in mainland EU is what we’d know as a shuttle: so 9 seats instead of 7, less leather, more aiport taxi.

    Mine was a Caravelle with eight leather seats before I stripped it out.

    2.5 is a torquey engine in either guise.

  • alpin replied to the topic Guy Martin's Great Escape in the forum Chat Forum alpin4 days agoalpin

    but the producers have no idea what to do with him.

    Yup…. And he says yes to far too many ideas….

  • alpin replied to the topic Guy Martin's Great Escape in the forum Chat Forum alpin5 days agoalpin

    That was shit….

    In fact, I find most Guy Martin shows a bit shit. Poor planning and organisation always leaves them having to wait muddle through…. They didn’t know where they could jump /land.

    They used water bottles in the gravity racer and chose a twisty road… And had to go all the way to France.

    Meh. Meh.

  • alpin replied to the topic Prince Andrew Interview in the forum Chat Forum alpin5 days agoalpin

    Finally got round to watching the Panorama programme about the Prince and Epstein.

    Why is Ghislaine Maxwell not being questioned?

    Fucking nonce!

  • alpin replied to the topic Garden bike furniture for the kids…. in the forum Bike Forum alpin1 week agoalpin

    I’ve chopped it in half and added a box section. Box is 40cm high, 95cm long. Will use theatre hinges to attach the box, or back to original configuration when he’s bigger /more confident.

    I rode the original yesterday evening on the BMX…. Whether it was the Feierabendbier or I’m just crap, but I found it a bit intimidating so thought the…[Read more]

  • alpin replied to the topic Those of you who suffer depression in the forum Chat Forum alpin1 week agoalpin

    I vividly remember that I was a surly, sarcastic, morose prick when growing up. Plenty of school and holiday photos of me looking unhappy.

    Things haven’t changed much into adulthood. Find that life is a bit of a knife edge between smiling and not wanting to get up and face the world.
    Have caught myself several times over the last few years…[Read more]

  • alpin replied to the topic Garden bike furniture for the kids…. in the forum Bike Forum alpin1 week agoalpin

    I think it’s a bit big…..

  • alpin replied to the topic Garden bike furniture for the kids…. in the forum Bike Forum alpin1 week agoalpin

    Right… Ramp is more or less done…

    I’m thinking of putting skateboards type tape on it so that the boys can use it on the wet /damp (it’s for the UK after all….).

    Where can I get decent length rolls and not 85cm for 7€?

  • alpin replied to the topic The French in the forum Chat Forum alpin1 week agoalpin

    Aren’t we getting that with Brexit?

    Where are you on the job /income ladder? You pulling the strings out are you the puppet?

  • alpin replied to the topic The French in the forum Chat Forum alpin1 week agoalpin

    Fair play to them….

    I heard similar sentiment to the op in the media here in Germany.

    But why not stand up for what you want? Why let the governments do what they want with carte blanche? Further filling the pockets of those at the top whilst the plebs work longer for less.

    Be more French and sod those few negatively affected by it for the…[Read more]

  • alpin replied to the topic What's the strangest thing you've seen sold by vending machine? in the forum Chat Forum alpin1 week agoalpin

    The travel pussy in German vending machines is rubbish…. You can achieve a similar effect with a half inflated balloon and some hand cream. Single use, too!

    Or the frog has a really long tongue…..

  • alpin replied to the topic Garden bike furniture for the kids…. in the forum Bike Forum alpin1 week agoalpin

    What height and length is that Alpin, thinking for a Christmas Project

    Circa 30cm high, 90cm long.
    Some off cuts from staging I built last month.

    Tracey, your garden is massive!

    Nephews are 4 & 1,5…
