Happy Birthday @rennie hope it’s a good ‘un with copious amounts of cider

Midlands #1 Upton House Midlands #2 Draylesford Organic My word this place was posh ( expensive ) went for a wander round & it was full of Hyacinth Buckets & other Posh people dragging their reluctant children round the various ‘rooms’. Paid for an overpriced coffee ( not bad tbh ) & sat at the only available seat next to a very sullen young teenage goth. I commiserated with them & it transpired that they had been forced there against their will with their little brother by their two aunts .. I did a really got job of stifling my laughter & left them to their misery

I didn’t feel a thing

Just had a prospective buyer round to look at Zippy (BMW F650GS) … got off a RE GT650 with dropped bars … sat on Zippy and declared that the riding position was too uncomfortable due to an injury, said it was too upright, bars too high & seat too wide …. WTF did he expect from an adventure bike?

Oooh B45, that’s posh … apart from the Rubery bit

Numbers: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10

Zippy the BMW F650 GS (ABS) has gone up for sale in Gumtree for £1200, already had some chancer offer £900 without even seeing it

What is that? Some kind of sex toy?

From what I’ve heard, the Ref has a few € on an England win

Kane was shooting with his instep, defender was studs 1st .., simples

Absolutely was, studs up, not just a block Any way, it was a penalty coz Kane took it and scored. what you meant to say was that you disagreed with the award of a penalty

A very happy birthday to you

Worst thing is that I actually have an equivalent pair that I did think I needed to wear

Maybe a left over from some kind of crash protection or worst case from a set of stunt crash bars

I have been known to wear an oversized 2nd hand hoodie from a charity shop over my leathers when the weather is cool early doors. And when I say oversized I mean mahoosive & I wouldn’t want to meet the original owner on a dark night

Been replacing the fork seals on the F650GS a slightly unusual arrangement for compressing the spring. there’s a plug in the top with a snap ring in a groove retaining it. So the plug needs pressing down to remove or fit the snap ring. If you cock it up the compressed spring shoots the plug plus a washer & the spacer out. Guess who cocked it up? Several rude words were uttered

I’m changing the fork seals on Zippy (Fg650gs) and who ever did this before fitted 2 fork seals on each leg rather than 1 seal & a dust cover, never known this before

This discussion has already been had & apparently due to some existential bollox it is has been deemed as not

Having declared a high number, can you change your mind if you find a higher number or is it a one shot deal?

Indeed it is still a sore point, being beaten by a none footballing nation

Against a very poor Turkey side who took pity on Portugal by scoring the worst own goal I have ever seen At least that Cockwomble Ronaldo didn’t score

Absobloodylutely .. recently had this on step daughters Clio - plenty of volts, charging well, couldn’t crank to save its life, new battery and away it went, was only a stay of execution though, it’s just been scrapped through required repairs being uneconomically viable - RIP Clio

Off to Stratford Autojumble, weather is nice, hopefully won’t get fried in the field later on
