Mickly

A tale of sorrow & a warning to all … Step Daughter has been a quite ill over the last week or so but has been gamely going to work because they are so short staffed ( she’s a dental nurse ) it has wiped her out and so Mrs Mickly volunteered for us to do her Xmas food shopping for her, which we did yesterday at Aldi and a couple of other places .. all well & good so far, shops were busy but not too bad. We also got some stuff for ourselves from Aldi including a piece of beef. I wasn’t really concentrating much, just pushing the trolley & picked up the beef I had seen advertised for £25, only one left as well. Much later late last night I was going through the receipt to work out how much Stepdaughter owed us & saw an item for £67 only to realise that it was the beef I had bought & that it was £25 PER KILOGRAM & I’d bought a 2.6kg piece. Mrs Mickly was unimpressed, especially as she doesn’t like beef. So although it was a shock, I’m quietly excited to try it. The price was on the bottom of the box - a bit dodgy if you ask me It better be bloody good !! Lesson learned.

Bloody useless pair, both the bike thieves are still free to steal again!

I had this happen with a gear lever, luckily I noticed within about 1/2 mile of the last gear change. Went back the following day with a hoe ( gardening tool - you dirty minded lot ) and while poking through the undergrowth I was accosted by a couple of Coppers who thought I was looking for magic mushrooms - after clearing up the misunderstanding I thanked them for letting me know that there were some around , they obviously didn’t see the funny side as an hour later another van stopped with about 8 of them in checking me out again. Took me about 2 hours to find the gear lever.

Yeah, I had that, just ignored it. In the distant past there was a nob head on the MCN forum who used to make up fake female profiles to entice & wind up naive posters - I watched it develop with amusement. This person may have been genuine with innocent intentions

Immediately went to Google ‘Remoska’ then remembered that I’ve been caught like that before and had flashbacks for months ..

Hiya @Hoggs can I please have #35 as usual - Ta

Who did you go to?

Oops, what’s happened? Or do you work there?

While you’re at it can you not put a South West tag in the South East? e.g. this years Iron Bull Road House

As do I, excellent piece of kit, I was a bit taken aback by the price of the batteries but got them anyway as it means ai can wear them on multiple bikes.

They don’t just transport 1 at a time they wait until they have a few to do a milk round, took a month from ordering to delivery last time I used a service like that.

Doing bugger all due to having been struck down with some kind of Lurgy, ( not COVID ) Headache, heavy eyes, sore throat, runny nose & shivering Just wanna sleep, so I’ll dose up with paracetamol & take an early bath.

Happy Birthday @manxie49 hope it’s a good ‘un

That’s a shame always enjoyed Kamchats’ contributions although a bit controversial at times. The late night pissed crew were some of the funniest.

Aye - Me, dunno about any others

Does seem a bit like that round here - Banner Lane is now a 30MPH limit ( down from a 40 & has been for a while ) you wanna try driving at the limit & you’ll get tailgated, flashed & dangerously overtaken - can be funny when they get stuck at the lights & I go passed in the filter lane turning right.

Nice one, looks mint

So you could end up literally talking out of your arse

You think ???

Wonder when a road legal enduro version will be available?

I would happily place my hand upon your Stinking Bishop & swear I was there

Thanks for the update @Hoggs Looks like I missed out posting the pic of KNIGHTSHAYES, unfortunately it has been permanently deleted & gone to pixel heaven only to be reborn as an AI generated video of Nigel Farage getting spanked by Ru Paul
