Mr Fro

Anyone who's commuted through central London at rush hour knows that's standard riding procedure. 

Are Lucid Air available here yet?

Today it was the bloke on the A14 towing a trailer with a track car on it.

Nothing wrong with that I hear you cry except when he indicated to pull in to lane 2, the left hand indicator came on on the trailer. The numpty had wired them the wrong way round.

2 x cod & a portion of chips is £14.20 over here. Huge load of chips hence just the one.

Ah yes! No @Mr Fro that's not him 

Well who is it then?

You're like that girl across the street when I was a kid, got all the talk but when it comes to the crunch you ain't ready to give over the goodies.

You do come out with some utter bollocks

 

So the North and Scotland would fight but the rest of us would just give up?

 

No-one knows how it would go down but as Putin has Nuclear weapons it's rather a moot point.

Unfortunately for me (and I suppose my family), we're just outside the "certain immediate death zone" of a nuke if Vlad decided to donk the 'murcin bases.

We'd have to therefore endure our final days growing two heads and puking up our insidey bits... Which will make a change from the norm.

But yeah, utter bollocks, spot on. I've played enough PUBG to be an ace with a sniper rifle. All I need to do is wait for an airdrop with an AWM and an 8x scope and I'll sorted.

It's you that's unacceptable! 

 

Someone disagrees with you and all hell breaks loose! 

 

You could always spit your dummy out and leave again then come back with a name change but still be the same obnoxious person you always are

 

He's not that bloke with the super galactic engine thingy is he?

I suspect the "5 year rule" is based on typical use fatiguing tests on the shell. I've got a lid that must be approaching 20 years old that I would wear as it's spent most of it's life in a wardrobe. I think my current one is 6 or 7 years old and I have no concerns.

Degrading due to UV is tosh however stretching the liner I can see as a reasonable argument. When I buy a new helmet it feels mega tight and by comparison, the old one feels as loose as a hookers vag.

UK RAISES ALERT LEVEL

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent Russian threats and have therefore raised their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.” Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.” The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out.

The Russians have been re-categorised from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance.” The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

The Scots have raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let’s Get the bast*rds”

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from “Run” to “Hide.” The only two higher levels in France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender.” The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France’s white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country’s military capability. They have also started wearing their reversible coats.

Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing.” Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides.”

The Germans have increased their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.” They also have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbour” and “Lose.”

Belgians on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual;

the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

Australia meanwhile, has raised its security level from “No worries” to “She’ll be alright, Mate.” Two more escalation levels remain: “Crikey! I think we’ll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!” and “The barbie is cancelled.” So far, no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation.

I've got some Belgian clients and believe it or not, they actually are all on holiday next week.

Oh, and hi @Ricky 

I went online last night to buy some more jeans and found that Levis have changed the colour of my favorite type.

No only that but they seem to have Dwayne Dibley as their new model:

No worries, unfortunately you didn't know I wanted one and I didn't know you had one to sell

Jesus Christ. I must rush and tell my wife that it's not just me who's utterly unable to read other people's f*ucking minds.

Retro muscle bikes have always been cool. 

Yeah, I was all set to join my local group. The call went like this:

Them: Hello, blood bikes.

Me: Oh hi, I'm interested in joining your group.

Them: Great, can you tell me about your background?

Me: Sure, I've been riding continuously for 20 years, held IAM for car & bike and held advanced police driving & riding permits.

Them: Brilliant, that's the kind of thing we need. Do you know anybody in the group?

Me: No.

Them: Okay. All we can offer you is call handling then.

Me: .... I'll think about it. Bye.

Got any pictures?

Oh ‘eck. Now the completion of the en suite/bedroom/dressing room is in sight my good lady has her eye set on a new kitchen*. This afternoon’s task? Visit a kitchen showroom to discuss requirements. Wish me luck.

*yes, it is in need of updating.

Dude, I feel your pain.

I've only just finished the downstairs shitter and the wife said today over lunch "When are we going to make a start on the living room?".

Translation for those who don't speak wife: "Why the f**k aren't you half way through doing it yet you lazy tw*t?"

She's already started "thinking about" the bathroom, ensuite and kitchen so I just know that's minimally my summer f*cked.

BMW. 

 

Because I have one therefore you should get one. 

Does yours have the L8-4WK door locks?

The ones that freeze shut on a cold morning? 

My grandad had a couple of C50s in his garage which I used to sit on and then push round the garden once I was big enough.

It was a slippery slope from there really!

Very nice!

Perhaps I am sensitive but perhaps you worded your response in a negative way. You seemed to be questioning my post rather than thanking me for informing you. Perhaps that’s your style. If so don’t expect me to like it or be impressed.

Don't worry, the rest of us feel the same way.

Have you tried Maggi?

It's a bit like runny marmite so you can slather it all over your food.

Remember the Reliant Scimitar? They used to burn extraordinarily well if they caught fire.

I used to own one (1970 SE5 for the anoraks).

I had to cut away a small piece of bodywork to fit something or other and in the interests of science I lit the bit I chopped out. I was very much surprised by how quickly and fiercely it burned.

"Amazon has updated its Alexa voice assistant after it "challenged" a 10-year-old girl to touch a coin to the prongs of a half-inserted plug."

 

And so it begins, to quote

The Dark Ages may return-the Stone Age may return on the gleaming wings of Science; and what might now shower immeasureable material blessings upon mankind may even bring about its total destruction. Beware! I say. Time may be short.

 

It wouldn't be a problem in the UK as the non insulated parts of the L&N plug pins cannot be exposed while touching the contacts in the socket.
