What’s the Fosse? I thought Fosse was a massive roman road from somewhere down south to somewhere up north?

Batter shrapnel is the bit fought over in this house!

Or I have a version of this for drying boots n gloves which you can leave at work. I’m not vouching for this particular brand as I’ve never used it, I think mine came from a Ski shop. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Seeland-Boot-Dryer-Uk-Plug/dp/B00NZ3GBFM/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1540048192&sr=8-4&keywords=Boot+dryer

For heat- Keis heated liners. Lumpy but warm. You’ll need larger gloves to accommodate them or they will pinch around your fingers. There are some complaints about the longevity of them but used mine week in week out for a year with no problems. Just have to have some sympathy when you use them- they have non-stretchy electrics woven into them so yanking them on or off or pulling in the wires to separate them without holding by the stiff connectors will unsurprisingly cause their demise. If you get some (I think they’re on offer £50 at sportsbikeshop) take them with you to a bike shop to try on under various gloves because you need a comfy fit that’ll be completely different from your usual. The below item has proven itself worth the money. Had it two years now (had a smaller one before that) and wet boots, shoes and gloves will dry out overnight. Doesn’t seem to cause any material degradation. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01MCVOUXE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Spending a day out on your bike with fish n chips thrown in is excessive? Or sensible?

Enjoy. Let us know what you think. I’m off out in half an hour but I don’t know where because it’s the Weston beach race today so 50-75,000 people head into Weston! I’m usually one of the thousands going to Weston, we make a weekend of it and go home Monday (once made the mistake of leaving on the Sunday after the racing, took 6 hours to get back to Cov) Today though we’re going to a wedding - I’ll put on a brave face as I’d much rather be at the beach race. 6hours sounds like the queue just for the motorway junction! Still rather do that than go to a wedding!!

Sorry I wasn’t clear. 5 cams for 5 different vehicles. They are usually mounted in the centre of the dash or under the mirror and some folk also have one at the rear. Purpose- so when people lie to the insurance and say they didn’t do it or it was you that hit them it clears things up sharpish rather than you possibly getting stiffed for something that wasn’t your fault.

After my recent insurance company experience I’ve decided it’s dash cam time but after looking at dozens, reading about them and the reviews it’s not any clearer. I need 5 so I don’t want to spend crazy money per unit and that is where the process of choosing falls down owing to the wildly varying prices and features. I’d like to have the feature that monitors the vehicle whilst parked plus decent night vision on it and I’m thinking front and rear view. I’m not keen on the dangly wire look but if needs must so be it. Is the rear facing camera important? Any experiences or suggestions?

Hood jeans go up to 36+ but for the winter you’ll probably need a thermal base layer with them. Welcome. Edit- they also alter length at no extra cost

I wonder if you have to share your bike or once ones assigned to you that’s yours and no-one else rides it? I don’t think I’d like to share, vans fine, my bike no.

That’s startlingly accurate but the gloves are all wrong. Need something the size of large oven mitts

Isn't that the abominable snowman in the picture. I thought that but now I’m wondering if the abominable snowman is a carnivore? With the cat balaclava I might look like a canapé

[mention]Speedy23[/mention] How’s the Sena comm system working out?

OMG!!..........where are you riding in that.........Siberia? I’m a cold blooded soul! I can already predict it’s -35 ratings not likely to be warm enough without at least two more layers and some heated gear by the time we hit January I’m gonna be sailing around toasty as.... a toasty thing cocooned in my own hermetically sealed biosphere just flipping the lid vent occasionally to stave off oxygen deprivation

Yeah, and what's fun to remind management is that there are alot fewer management roles out there than non management roles. Say something like "oh well if redundancy comes I'll be ok, but I wouldnt want to be looking for a more senior role in the current job market..." Plant the seeds of self doubt and watch them grow... Oh that’s quality. Nice and nasty.

I don’t want to wear leather trousers, I like stuff that goes in the washing machine and even if I was prepared to pay to have leather cleaned regularly I wouldn’t want the toxic chemicals they use to do it on my skin. I also like being able to get off the bike and walk into a restaurant and blend in with the normies. However my new supersuit arrived today which might pay to the blend in thing? Maybe? It’s good on a snowmobile. Down to -35 you only need a base layer underneath so I’m mainly going to be wearing Bowtex. Which feels like wearing PJs. Yeeha motorcycling in your PJs They call it a ‘Safari Suit’ Perhaps I should motorcycle to the Himalaya’s and search for the abominable snowman?

She doesn’t want to understand, she likes holding the cards. These sort of people are tiresome.

My experience of the “I can’t talk about it” mentality is it was more of a power and control game “I know what’s going on but I couldn’t possibly share it with the likes of you but I am going to tell you just enough to make you all fear for your jobs” dance monkey dance. Until I knew what the redundancy comments meant though I wouldn’t be sticking my head above the parapet and making my manager sweat. Unless you don’t care for keeping the job in which case tear it up, I did and it was enourmous fun.

Never mind sometimes these things just don’t pan out, poor old nobby no mates me

Lol

Nice photo Looks like one of those profile picks that after you’ve spent 2hrs consoling your wrecked single friend about their disastrous date they show you a pic online and you wonder how they didn’t spot they’re a loony

What can I say? The worlds better off without some people in it and the NHS staff are all secret agents of a Nazi regime carrying out Hitlers ideals, cleansing the earth of undesirables in a covert fashion right under people’s noses. [mention]fastbob[/mention] thanks for Godwin’s law, I like it

[mention]learningtofly[/mention] it’s a pretty gruesome break so brace yourself!

Most enjoyable pursuits seem to involve the bashing of common sense into a small padlocked box, probably wouldn’t be travelling for hours to get some mudguards if it wasn’t for a healthy disregard for being sensible and now that’s mushroomed into meeting up, time off and going to the Krazy Horse at some point. Down with common sense
