I'll Live ..............

What post ?

I’ll start .... 17 years married ... 3 children 18, 15 and 12 ..... Every 3rd week i would get on the motorbike and ride from Cardiff or Norwich ... to spend the weekend with them ... We had great weekends ... adventures and laughter, camping and skateboarding, surfing and motorbikes .... Then one weekend ....... My eldest ... took me to the beach ... a place of safety to us .... He told me that he and his sister and brother where worried about how upset Mum was every time i visited .. They loved me but did not want me to come again .... it was too upsetting for Mum and them after i had left. I could hear my ex’s words to them in my head ... the master of manipulation was she ..... 18 years later I only have contact with my daughter .... My ex poisoned so much happiness .... because she could .............

My grandson has accepted the task of paddling out from Godrevy Beach, in my kayak, and distributing my ashes into the sea ... so the whole family can come and swim with me any time they wish ......................

Our family really enjoy a good funeral. My Granny’s went on for 3 days ..... We always have a great party, a celebration of a life. My mum died 2 years ago, 94, a great family get together .. we had the service at the grave and then at the hotel Julie and I got married at ... Same room .... Great family get together for all age groups ... Thousands turned up for my Uncle Johns funeral, the roads where packed throughout Ligoneil, Woodvale and the Shankill .... Hundreds came back to the estate in Newtownards where my sister lived ..... The one thing in common with all these great family funerals .... they where old, had fantastic lives ... and where fully aware to the end ... Young funerals .......... not ever fun ...........

My 2 piece suit cost £72 off ebay ,, Chinese cordura, waterproof warm and frankly a no brainer , a pair of big braces where added at a cost of £8 ... if it lasts 2 winters thats £40 / year .... I spend a lot more than that on food for Kieth ... the tortoise ...

It comes from a local Christian charity .. there’s absolutely no complaints, usually there a good mix of basic veg, pasta and meat products ... but sometimes it does seem to go awry .. one week last month she had a catering pack of smoked mackerel , a catering pack of kippers and a whole melon .. .. We do swaps for her ....

My daughter is on a low income and lives in supported / secure housing ... It’s a nice 3 bed semi but she has someone visit her 2 -3 times a week. She was told she was eligible for a weekly food parcel, which she was thankful for and has been a help .... Until this week ....... Pictured is the full contents of her food parcel .... She’s not complaining ... just baffled ... We’ve found good homes for it ...

I had a totally reliable, but self draining, Morris Minor as my first car, XVB 45. I drove through a ford in the village of St. Mawgan and jets of water squirted up my wifes dress ... .... not amused. But drained away as soon as we where clear of the ford.

Our 07 Aygo leaks like a sieve ... we park it with the windows open 10mm whenever it’s not raining ... otherwise its like driving a mobile swamp

Good point ... there are a number of Rail photo companies ... Milestone 92 1/2 is the one we use, that compile original pics of the subject and sell a single or multi use licence to companies like ours ... But they have to go out and get the pics ... going out to work ... stood on a railway bridge near you ... not sure what LTF is targeting as his USP .... but best of luck .... respect ...

You can travel as much as you want if it’s for business, and adding images to your business portfolio is work ... and you can’t do it working from home ...

I've got one of these ... faultless .. 2 bungees across it and all is well .... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultra-Dry-Waterproof-adjustable-Shoulder/dp/B079LXBQ5S/ref=sr_1_4_sspa?adgrpid=52374668879&dchild=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAjKqABhDLARIsABbJrGlgt9TEKHt8YvGv9S6g8vYoIyspQyfYiBxcBMdbCE-dLXnAzRsZw4MaAsiTEALw_wcB&hvadid=259137574228&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9046276&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=9373769566898730664&hvtargid=kwd-324778304834&hydadcr=25376_1818838&keywords=roll+top+dry+bag&qid=1611339514&sr=8-4-spons&tag=googhydr-21&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFTWE5EVEk4UEJSMFUmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTEwMDYxNjQzRkJUTFdPWjZVT01ZJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA4ODQ4NDNYOE5TOTNNSEZQUE0md2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl

+6 deg C here in Wickersley .... winter warmth ....

Beautiful day for the motorbike here .... shame i've got the dentist ... well not a shame ... but i’d rather be out on the motorbike...

Morning all ... Doncaster, Derby and Burton-on-Trent today, assuming the river Dove hasn’t flooded and blocked the A38 at Burton .. again ...

Me and my sister where discussing music we would like at our funerals ... as you do ... lots of funnies occurred to us both, but i’ve settled on; Nimrod, by Elgar .. as people are filing in. Cliche .... but good cliche. The Minstrel Boy, Joe Strummer and the Mescalero's version .. 1st Hymn. A 17th century song for those that died in the first Irish uprising, but became an anthem for the British Army and the Orange Order .... and Shankill Protestant Boys band. Brothers in Arms, Dire Straits .. 2nd Hymn, curtains close on casket. Fine anti war song. Above and beyond, Group Therapy, Out Of The Totem Matrix (Above & Beyond Mashup) .. All leave. Techno .. techno .. techno .... No ones singing at my funeral, just enjoy ( or hate ) the music.

Yea that was us !! I was on site as well .... We did a changeout of all the hydrostatic / hydraulic systems and cooling systems on a Class 158 ... We do a high speed idle test to carry out leak checks at the end ... ear defenders time !!

When i worked in the steel works we did 12 hours on, 6 days on then 6 days off ... days and nights ,, ... i loved the shifts ... loved it ... I often got called back in on my days off but that was a minimum £200 callout payment ... often just for an hours work ...

I can supply banjo bolts with integral micro switches and also all your Hydraulic, and cooling system pipe work in silicone, PTFE and rubber EPDM ... go to my website and drop me a line ..... If you also want world leading traction control systems for your train, track plant or loco .... we do that ... www.abhoses.com .. www.twitter.com/abhoses

up at 0530 most mornings ... half an hour of peace and coffee before the girls appear .. Molly’s up first usually at 0600 ... Ella at 0700 ... Julie appears around 0730 ... so i only usually have Molly to battle with before i’m off to work ...

Good point ... but the’ve been banned from the 2021 TdeF after a number of accidents in 2020, not including any TdeF riders ....spectators ! ? 3 crashes where the bikes slid into spectators ... seems a bit weird to me

What exactly is the point of this and the Yam 3 wheelers ??

"They are also used for surveillance of groups of people.” .. Marches, protests, identification of protest leaders. etc

Vehicle pursuit and stand off surveillance ... they allow ground based officers to disengage from pursuit, hang back and plot destinations of target vehicles. They are also used for surveillance of groups of people. Thermal imaging for drug factories.
