I've heard there were loads that never got shot over as most shoots didn't happen. Should be a lot of fat foxes this year!
-
Solidly English me,and on my Ma's side borderers so lots of needle with jocks!

After 15 years of paediatric nursing she ended up working for Leonard Cheshire which was much less stressful.

Depends how gamey you like it. Personally I like them hung for about 7 days. Most bought pheasant tastes much like chicken imo as its not particularly gamey. Favourite game bird is either wild duck or wood pigeon.

It was very nice as was the bottle of Medoc I washed it down with.

Not sure you could tell as it'd be an "X".

Don't feel too bad. Both my mate and I being "born again" bikers coming back to it after years away got stuck with high premiums and high excesses for the first year. He's in Surrey, I'm in Gloucestershire and both bikes were relatively high end. (His definitely, mine less so). His was garaged, mine not. Its all down to statistics. You'll hopefully be surprised how quickly the premiums drop over time.

My wife was one of the nurses who set up the Newcastle Freeman ICU for kids. What got to her were babies born with unsurvivable problems who doctors basically tried things out on. The false hope to the parents was another thing especially as my wife literally cannot lie.
-
The reason my wife stopped working on paediatric cardio-thoracic ICU. Too many wee ones dying while docs experimented.

The jabs in the stomach would have been a treatment for rabies I guess. A colleague of mine got that for being bitten by a kitten in Mombasa port. As for the weird cancer -Agent Orange? Apparently caused cancers.

We had a bracing 5 miles this morning. No snow but ground like iron (plus - no mud!) with a killer wind. Definitely needed thawing when I got home.
-
Often with the word English added in before the c- word

Just think that's what XTreme will be enjoying right now. At least I suppose we don't have to see his pictures of sun kissed semi deserts and rugged individualism. Quite miss it really.
-
Same as last bloody weekend I suspect. It's getting like groundhog day round here.
-
He gives at least once a year or did pre-Covid.

I find a dry lube as needed along with the Cobrra works as good as anything. A lot of the roads round here are horribly gritty and if there's too much lube it becomes grinding paste. Love to know more about BMW's no maintenance chain and if it would fit the Strada if it did work....
-
As I walked past the bike (covered) the wind caught the cover and I saw the state of the chain. Horror!. So spent a bloody cold hour cleaning and lubing it. Turned out the Cobrra was empty. Oops.
-
I truly hate this and do wonder if in the long run it will have been worth the destruction we have visited on ourselves. Its the way we have just put up with it that amazes me (including myself here).
-
Done. Don't hold your breath though as anything approaching common sense out of hmg is reaching.
-
Got to be Indonesia if you want the real deal although you can get a decent one in Singapore.
-
Deep-fried baby squid,drunken prawns and satay. Lots and lots of satay.
-
Favourite summer dish - steak tartar with a decent salad.
-
Bought my bike for cash but still had to use dealer for first two years for warranty. My model hasn't had any recalls but others have and certainly for first owner they are quite good at contacting folks.

Son is 34 so a bit ahead of yours. He's also a brilliant cook so an invite to dinner is never refused! Bugger runs marathons too so is not as rotund as me. Pre-Covid was training for Triathlon (loon). Grandaughter was in fine fettle and great fun. Youngest Grandson has just discovered he has hands. Not sure what they're for yet.

Steak is from local butcher and wine was prezzie from my son. Good boy. Steak without copious juices ie blood is just shoe leather
