  1. I'd just like to warn you fellas;honesty is NOT always the best policy.

    The g/f and I have split up...somewhat acrimoniously.

    It's HER fault-she murmured "Say something really nice",as we were snuggling.

    So,coz I'm honest,and I wanted to please her,I said;

    "You've got the cleanest sink I've ever pissed in".....



    Oh,yeah. It's ok for YOU.....

  2. TC,if I might give a small word of advice;

    do NOT let the bridge of your varifocals become loose,or start slipping down your conk. Seems obvious,but it's surprisingly common to see spectacle-wearers swiftly giving their specs a shove back into position. With varifocals,it makes a BIG difference. Keeping them where they're meant to be makes a HUGE difference to the way you move your head/compensate for 'blur'. I know this seems obvious stuff-but with varifocals it makes a MASSIVE difference. Plus,if you aren't looking through the correct part of the lens,even by a very small distance,you quite possibly will wonder why you're getting headaches. I use varifocals for close work [long-sighted]and I swear by them...but I learned the hard way not to let the bridge grips become loose. So-keep'em tight! Errm...I'll go away now..

  3. Oh,pretty mundane,Moo. I was driving my car along a country lane toward a steep bend which has a humpback bridge on it...JUST as I got to it,a femme came zooming round it toward me,took off as she topped the humpback,lost control and span into me backwards. I'd got right onto the verge-but she was determined! Sudden deceleration ensued,as it tends to in such circumstances...but my left hand flew forward. A sharp edge of the rapidly buckling dashboard ripped straight through the tendons and muscles in my hand,severing the thumb. Bit of a tedious job,trying to pick your own thumb up,especially when you have cracked ribs. Still,c'est la vie.

    HOWEVER-word to the wise-I've discovered it's IMPOSSIBLE to roll your shirtsleeves up without using your thumb!

    [see? There's some good in everything-I made a scientific discovery!]

    The annoying thing is that had I been on either bike,a quick flick of the wrist would have had me WELL out of her way......yet the faceless 'they' insist bikes are dangerous........#sigh#

  4. I'd go with the general flow here....a bike is God's way of justifying tarmac.....but a guitar doesn't require special clothing or sunshine to be enjoyed. I love my V-max AND my Fudge. I don't have any requirements for bigger/better/faster. The Mighty Fudge has been to Sicily 24 times,Maxine has been all over Germany and Belgium...BUT....I can close my eyes and start to play one of my guitars-and I'm transported to anywhere I want to be. I'm told that the instant I start to play,my eyes change. Apparently I go to a land only I can see. If I do that on either bike,drift off into my own world,the consequences tend to be a tad dispiriting. So,I agree with the majority..I'm a biker...but your guitar doesn't depend on sunshine,it MAKES sunshine!

  5. 25th of August,I got my car smashed to bits,my thumb ripped off + two broken ribs,from a woman losing it totally as she shot round a bend over a humpback bridge toward me. She span,then rammed my car backwards. Although I'd gotten totally off the road onto the verge [country lane] she denied responsibility-although several witnesses were present.

    I got my union onto it.

    SOD fee-chasers.

    They've been BRILLIANT. I've had my thumb re-attached,but I'll need physio.

    Car was cut to bits to get us out. Mrs Me has a broken sternum + a bruised heart.

    My union have been STALWARTS-they even came to see The Ratbag in hospital,with flowers!

    I'm not sure what the £££ will be at final count-so far it's £15,000 to me,The Old Bat has yet to be assessed for long-term issues. I wasn't after max wedge,I really wasn't. Just a quick end to the bullshit. Replace my car,compensate for injuries,I'll sort the rest out. But the union have been XLNT!
