For another vile and disgusting beer - Lorimer's Scotch Ale by Vaux of Sunderland. Most of their pub beers were pretty horrible but funnily enough if you went to their pub in Sunderland which was attached to the brewery you could get really good special beers. Apparently they were made by apprentice brewers; sadly once they qualified they went on to make swill.

I reckon Benders dad has prob'ly got a shiny metal ass too.

There's a guy up the road from me who has the expensive house and among other cars a Bentley convertible. When the sun shines there's a cat uses the soft top to sunbathe on. Fortunately the cat is his so it's still alive.

Let him have the Spitfire flypast on his birthday on April 30th. Safer for him and probably a whole lot more enjoyable than having to listen to some politician droning on and probably lying through his/her back teeth.

My son had the earlier (2015) version and loved it. Sadly he had to sell it once he left the navy and was poor.

If I want to get shirty with the neighbors Beethoven on high volume. I don't dislike them enough to play Wagner.

Too true. Been tracking a new exhaust from Italy. First it went to Milan then to Vienna, Austria before going to somewhere in France then back to Vienna before finally getting to Deptford. Just needs to get to me probably via Reykjavik and Stornoway. To be fair with the decimation of international trade routes it's doing alright. I've got another 7 orders for various bits and bobs somewhere in the system. I hope to get them this year. Really hate this plague though.

Don't know about the music but wouldn't mind booking the pall bearers for my funeral. Not that I am planning it any time soon. As for the victims? Darwinism at work.

Given the absolute necessity of having brakes that work as designed I'd suck up the cost. It'll be more than embarrassing if when you really need to brake they go missing in action.

Methinks, a slightly sarcastic tongue in cheek here? Look like good cruiser tyres. As said previously for mine I'm quite keen on sticking with the Pirelli Scorpions. They've been excellent in the wet and dry. The only time they've squirrelled on me is a little twitch on diesel on a roundabout and a slightly bigger one (almost a tank slapper) when I went into a bend a bit too hot and braked when I shouldn't have.

The only problem I see is the pub was Ind Coope. They brewed the most disgusting beer known to man. It's the only pint I've ever not been able to finish. Fed it to some tulips in a pub beer garden.

We're lucky with the dogs at the moment. Two of them are quite old and as such don't need as much exercise. That said the retriever is terrible on lead. The patterdale is good on the lead and doesn't really like more than a couple of miles these days. The problem is the spaniel. He likes good long walks preferably off lead. He's also a bit psychotic but lives with my son so not my problem.
-
It's all changed now as it's been upgraded to motorway so the roundabout is now a flyover. Much better road though.
-
Chinese and therefore on my shitlist. My tyres are coming due for replacement and I'll probably go for OEM Pirelli Scorpions although I maybe tempted by Metzler Touratechs. I've got over 7000 miles from them so far but they are getting a bit squared off.

Yeah waving your arms around at the wrong moment could have unforeseen consequences.

Good news for Norton employees and customers but sad for British manufacturing. Is it just me but I can't help but feel a certain irritation that so many British engineering and technology firms have been bought out by Asian companies. It seems that they are the only ones with the vision to actually manufacture stuff. All we seem to produce are chancers who can make money by blagging and then doing a runner with the proceeds.

Sounds like Trainspotters but way more interesting.

Go on - I'll bite. WTF do you want a flock of inflatable sheep for.? Are you opening some kind of kinky brothel for sheep sh@ggers? Do they come complete with wellies or do they have to bring their own? My mind is boggling. your wellies will have to be green Back when I had a boat someone gave me a pair of yellow wellies. I was utterly shamed and never wore them and when I sold the boat it went with the wellies.
-
I think I'd rather remain in ignorance and wonder if someone really was that daft. Shattered my illusions you have.
-
Can't see why not. What's the worst could happen? It's already bust. Hopefully won't fail when you are lifting it full of boiling water.

It's funny until you meet a pack of hounds and large bloody horses ridden by equally large and completely deranged women coming the other way. The male riders seem slightly saner for a certain value of sane. For some reason a noisy Ducati V-twin seems to send dogs, horses and riders into collective meltdown. Challenging for all concerned.

Even the official Russian stuff is less than 50% If you are talking about the home made moonshine it's a bit more. There's also a reason more Russians die of alcohol poisoning. PS I work with Russians.
-
It's a bit more than pure vodka. Most alcoholic spirits are between 35 and 45% by volume. That stuff is 70%!
-
As to stupid routes - TomTom regularly puts me on roads that nobody in their most lunatic phase would ever go. Occasionally if I'm feeling brave I follow it. Usually as I'm more sane than not I bail out muttering darkly into my beard.

The Great October Storm. I was in the Bay of Biscay at the time and I remember it was a bit lumpy. Good on you towing a caravan in that.
