Extract from @hoggs post after a late edit. "This did say it has to be different but they're all different places so sod it! However if someone else nabs your number tough." That is not the pint - What if you took a few extra pictures (with your old number in) of, lets say, a biker cafe during last summer. Then, voila! you have scored without travelling. Just saying! But - Up to Hoggs really. This is true but as there is no prize so whats the point, you only cheat yourself. I have always used the tagging list as a reason to go to new places.

Its all one big day off for you. And it soon will be for me.

I have contacts which address the astigmatism, but they can not cope with my need for Varifocals. Tried Varifocals could see distance fine could not see the SatNav though. Plus could not wear the varifocal for as long as the single vision lenses.

I wear glasses and have a GT-air. You will get the glasses steaming up in damp air and while stationary. Cracking open the visor can stop that but as soon as you are on the move its gone. If you do get glasses then take your helmet along for the fitting to ensure you can get them on and they are comfortable. A better solution if you can is to use contacts.

DIFFERENT NUMBER! Extract from @hoggs post after a late edit. "This did say it has to be different but they're all different places so sod it! However if someone else nabs your number tough."

Thank to [mention]Hoggs[/mention] 99 for me please (same as last year, recycling the number so thinking of the environment ) Thanks to [mention]Grumpy Old Git[/mention] and [mention]Throttled[/mention] for the previous years.

Oooppps that's not good [mention]Magpie84[/mention] but glad you are relatively OK. Bike and helmet can be repaired / replaced.

And if a yob on a moped knocks over a pedestrian etc there will be shouts of "Why didn't the police stop them" The police can't win in this situation.

@megawatt Hope you make a quick and full recovery

Well done Jester

Really

Not according to the Doctor it isn’t. It’s wibbely wobbely timey wimey. That's due to the doctor self medicating

Well my current employer pays in to the works pension pot 1.5%. Fortunately I will not have to rely a pension from here when I retire. Talking of which I am going in January next year 2 years early mainly 'cause I've had enough of the customers we have to deal with and the organisation where I am currently at. Over the past 40 years or so pension have been trashed. I started when Mirror boss Maxwell fell off his boat and they found a huge black hole in the pensions from where he had been lax with payments. This caused a review into how pensions were administrated and basically costs went up drastically which caused the dramatic fall in final salary schemes. (Lost mine). Then as pension pots began to recover and the stock market increased and so pensions again went up, Gordon Brown decided it was a windfall and so pension pots were taxed. Surprisingly when the stock market fell the government of the time carried on taxing pension funds. So although I can just about afford to retire the fund is no where near what it should have been. Originally I should have been retiring 7 years ago. Anyway mid week ride outs will soon be a possibility.

[mention]Slowlycatchymonkey[/mention] I totally agree. Just because the population as a whole are living longer what proportion is actually fit and healthy and able to continue in their work.

but pensions introduced in 1908 at 70 years but means tested and life expectancy 50-55 only 1 in 4 reached 70 1925 pensions for all at 65 not means tested. life expectancy 58-63 1940 pensions male 65 female 60 LE male 63 fm 68 rum deal for blokes now 66 for both with life expectancy 79-83. so in real terms more likely to be able to receive a pension than when they were first introduced. Still dont agree with the increase in pension age though. it should have been equalised for both sexes at 60.

You could have selected POST then paid £1 for the privilege.

Just one problem: Wife. Get the same colour and she will never notice. Works for me.

YES

And by the way, "feet" are the things on the ends of your legs. "Feats" are achievements like trolling on several fora at once........ Naughty If you think Speedy was naughty you should read the replies on BCF.
