Who is the record keeper of most flounces and what is the count? It might be one I could work towards?

Good Morning

For peeps who like this sort of thing series 9 started last week. ITV 9pm Wednesday or catch up on the ITV Hub (two episodes currently available).

After the initial horror of having to navigate something new I’m happy to see all the china’s stacked neatly in the right cupboards. I’m not sure the whole ranking n rating thing is my cup of tea but lots of folk like those sort of hits. The hearts instead of the thumbs up though no just NOOOOO it offends thy eyes

Yer looks great I like M&P they don’t take the mick on prices.

Nice work on the Suzuki So what’s the weight difference between the CTX1300 and the Harley?

Waaaaah? You don’t understand it was only luck I sorted any of it out first time, time to find some toys to throw out of my pram!

Now that’s good to hear. Believing it’s another matter but still good.

yep same here until I cleared my website data. Then faffed about saving a custom stream n now it’s two clicks to the equivalent of an active topics list so I’m happy.

Oh sh1te there’s a ranking thing on the right hand side that shows just how much time you’ve wasted being ‘liked’ (or now with that dumb heart thing loved ) can I block that bit?!

True.

I’m using an iPad and it worked for me. @JRHare you clearing them in ‘advanced settings’?

I wouldn’t like to be 30 again I was working far too hard! When you wake up thinking you ARE 30 it’s time to go see someone.

I’ve never been orientated to time n place, I knew it was Thursday tomorrow though which is pretty good for me. I once ended up in A&E and the doc was checking I was orientated, it was difficult to persuade him I usually can’t remember what day it is

Hmm scratch that it reappeared

Only seem to have the option to edit once? Corrected a typo then saw another but the edit option no longer there?

I sat down in front of this after lunch (was a bit cold) and have been unable to move since, I am now desiccated. If I can catch a passing person to bring me a cup of tea it will be a good afternoon, evening and day wasted- my favourite kind of Tuesday.

Finished it. The exclamations of “it’s amazing” get a bit tiring when they don’t seem genuine and look like they’re acting it rather than feeling it but then what can you expect from two jaded middle aged men who’ve seen it all before. McGregor singing and playing his acoustic just annoyed me as he clearly thinks he’s the dogs and no offence to anyone here with similar bad taste but when men get to their 50’s they should give up wearing skinny jeans- you’re never gonna look youthful or be ‘down with the kids’ again. But actors ay you’ve got to expect some vanity. Boreman on the other hand is just a man trying to make a living who does really loves motorbikes and inspite of not being the sharpest tool seems a nice enough guy who has a famous friend who can bolster his income, fair enough. The electric bikes I think were the wrong choice for the trip because they restricted where they could go but the right choice because it gave them something to dramatise. I heard Claudio (the cameraman) doing an interview and he said it was good he had an petrol bike because he could easily go ahead to set up a shot where as the two on electric bikes had to be very careful with their speed limiting it to 50-60mph max due to it draining the battery too quickly, how boring constantly monitoring your battery drain and not being free to go where you want to go. Pretty far from adventure style motorcycling and far more a long road trip on established routes. Not that I’m at all anti that it’s just quite far from the original format. I suspect that has to do with age and broken plated bones plus having to plug in at least once a day. The little toddler girl from the orphanage in the first ‘long way’ turning up in this one all grown up was a really nice touch. I loved the bus they knocked up. Claudio Von Planta’s drone camera work was really superb and I now definitely NEED to have a go with one.

Welcome @Turbogirlie Must feel great to be back.

Yuk a heart rather than a thumbs up, I don’t think I can click it so thanks

Is there an active topics type of filter somewhere?

I didn’t believe in the power of the merino but now I’m a confirmed worshipper of the yarn. Went on a longer trip where luggage was very minimal which as a person who likes a shower n clean clothes I found difficult to wrap my head around so I bought the famed merino wool base layers not expecting a lot and they are superb. I didn’t spend a lot on them (cos I didn’t believe they’d be that much better) they were just cheapies from Mountain Warehouse and worth every penny. It was [mention]goat[/mention] who finally persuaded me they were worth a go so thanks for that, a year on they’re still in frequent use and my more expensive (admittedly better looking) synthetic ones haven’t been worn once

wuz wunderin the same thing He’s keeping us in suspense!

[mention]goat[/mention] I might have missed it but what did you do in the end, tell her or risk it and have you subsequently been offered the job?
