How did you end up with 100ltr of heating oil in a container?

They called out his name....

I bought this pathetic looking thing a couple of months ago and it’s worked very well for siphoning petrol and then again on dishwasher bilge but dunno about using it for 100 litres over that distance though. Perhaps you could shove a hose on the end of it https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06XKHP8Q4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Is that a kit? Haven’t the boat club banned you yet?

Last year was my final New Years Eve out. I don’t enjoy them, I go because I feel obliged and last year the next day I knew my resolution was to stop feeling obliged to go out on New Years Eve. My immediate family usually have lunch out somewhere nice together on New Year’s Day and I’ll miss that, it’s a good way to start the year.

I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day either Then again I think even his pragmatic nature wouldnt stretch to suggesting getting married on steak and blow job day

My husband brought me a cup of tea and said Happy Anniversary. You’d think after 25 years I might remember but nope He tells me every year I say the same thing “Is it? how long? blimey”

Been a not too shabby Christmas for you.

Not in Verbier then?

Find my friends or locate this device might’ve worked though. Ive always used my phone for navigation and haven’t had any problems with it. I prefer only having one device to care for, it’s a PITA removing stuff from your bike when you stop. Rare that I use sat nav though, I prefer the get lost and find your way back type of ride, it’s also rare for me to have my phone on me because I don’t like the way it digs in when you lean forward but I suspect that’s only a problem for people who have smaller clothes cos the pockets are obviously also small and the phone barely or sometimes doesn’t fit in them.

Nope came back with the same amount I went with and went to helmet city, who were extremely bossy and eventually corralled me into buying a Shoei, I resented their interference but then had to grudgingly admit they were right. Strange they were helping me out and yet I still feel aggrieved

Before I had a bike Bell helmets were always the ones that caught my eye. I trotted along to the NEC bike show ready to spend and couldn’t believe how bad it was in comparison to a shoei. You’d think by now Bell would’ve got the message that their helmets aren’t good enough for the money they charge.

The Kennel club is guilty of being passive, they could/should have taken stronger action to prevent these things happening. They made an attempt at encouraging healthy breeding with their assured breeder scheme which is very detailed and includes the inbreeding coefficient to ensure breeders are not intensively inbreeding to cement certain traits but they then decided to charge big bucks to belong to this scheme which causes you a lot of work and so everyone left it- why pay to belong to something that is hard work and costs you money? So I agree the kennel club hasn’t done enough but it’s the breeders who warp the dogs gene pool and it’s the breeders who become the judges (you have to be a respected breeder to become a judge) and they are so deep in it they also look for the current fashions rather than dog health. The kennel club does intervene sometimes and it does this by not allowing dogs through to the final ring that have been bred or interfered with in a way that’s detrimental to their health. If you mess with the dogs conformation and move away from the prescribed breed standard you simply won’t make the final cut. Dog showing is ridiculously competitive and a lot of the people who do it can’t see what they’re doing is wrong. When breeders went too far giving German Shepherds sloping backs and ruining their hips in the process not a single German Shepherd made it through to the final, same with pinned ears or overly brachycephalic heads- you’re out. So the breeders then change what they’re doing because they really want a win. There are good breeders out there, ones that pick healthy breeds and make the effort to get a good match but you get tarred with the same brush as the bad dog breeders, treated as if you’re an awful person so mainly they just give up which is a shame because if we go down the morally superior path of all getting our dogs from a dog homes there will be no distinct breeds left.

I damn well knew it. Birds of a feather

Oh goddamn it we need a Raeswells Sesame Street teaches English thread

In that carefully edited pic yes but the real photo nope it’s floating!

Just opened a yet another excellent and thoughtful Christmas prezzie from my brother. How do I break it to him actually Im a bit thick?

The whole Elvis impersonator thing makes me laugh. Then again wot do I know when JXL released a remix of a little less conversation I thought “that’s clever but they need to tone down the Elvis impersonator, he’s waaay too OTT

That’s the point everyone’s got to isn’t it. If I’m gonna die soon then I’m bored waiting n let’s just get on with it. Except some people really aren’t ready and I have no right to make that decision on their behalf... unless it’s my mother in law, then you can bring it on!

I have to put this forward for next years MOTY. Has anyone else noticed @fastbob has magical powers? I’m certain every time I see this his bikes levitating!

I’ll never forget my first Elvis impersonator and it was only a couple of years or so ago. It’s proper West Country here and there was a tubby out of tune non looky likey booked for a 40th apparently because the birthday girl and her mates were proper fans of the guy. He started singing, it was hilariously bad and I properly spat my drink out and started choking on my own laughter. I was on my own in this. I tried to recover my terrible ingratitude with a small chortle and a giggle with my now unfriendly seating companion with a hahahaa that’s apparently Elvis, brilliant he can’t even sing. He said “that’s my brother” I assumed it was a witty response and laughed even more. Apparently not it really was his brother

I thought 40-50% was the best compromise between rusting metal and desiccating rubber. Maybe one of our resident pervs can help out or maybe it’s a classic car question!

@James in Brum me thinks thou doth project too much
