Mr Fro Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 I keep thinking of buying one. Our power goes off quite regularly. We have no gas fire so without electricity we're doomed.Just remembered, even the sewage is pumped by electric. Niiiiice! I bought a busted one to fix & flog not long after I moved to the sticks. Just after I fixed it we had the first of many power cuts. Worst so far has been about a week. Quote
Guest Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 @XTreme yes but surely TOTY moves shouldn’t actually be Twattish Maybe he thinks he's doing it subtly James......I've long since stopped trying to make any sense out of [mention]dynax[/mention]'s thought processes.If he starts another thread about downgrading to a 50cc Chinese moped again then we'll know he's making moves!

James in Brum Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 He was talking about using Coca Cola for fuel in one earlier! It must be a move. Quote
Guest Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 He was talking about using Coca Cola for fuel in one earlier! It must be a move. I think [mention]Six30[/mention] needs to be aware that he's got competition! Quote

dynax Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 He was talking about using Coca Cola for fuel in one earlier! It must be a move. I would have used Red Bull but i don't have a pilot's licence Quote
dynax Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Oh dear! not good, once you let them loose on tools and they discover the joys they start buying their own, and you know that they are their tools f**k me! I must have not noticed us being wrenched back to the fifties! Is this what the services change is about? To update the attitudes @Stu ? I suspect it's dynax making his move for TOTY! I knew he would! No! You can keep the TOTY for [mention]Six30[/mention] Quote

S-Westerly Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Well I don't know. Poor old six can't be the permanent TOTY the glory needs to be spread around. You've made some outstanding contributions to that effect this year and your enthusiastic championing of real Chinese motorbikes (as opposed to fake Chinese bikes like certain Beemers) has certainly put you in the running.

Guest Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 So it's the weekend!As you probably know, they've now put the kybosh on me leaving the immediate town area......and I cannot enter another town.However, depending on the direction I go there's plenty of scope to ride without getting my collar felt. But I'm playing it safe and staying off anything that would be classed as a major road in case the Guardia are patrolling.What a f@cking world we're living in now! So what are you lot doing.......or more to the point, what are you allowed to do? Quote
rennie Posted October 30, 2020 Author Posted October 30, 2020 We can still go to The Pub but there's not much point because you can't socialise.I think I could ride my bike as long as I don't go into Wales, although they advise essential journeys only,but the weather is pants so that won't be happening.Once we've picked the campervan up from the garage later I doubt we'll be goinganywhere till I go to work Sunday night (still happening as far as I know atm)We did do the supermarket shopping this morning! not ideal when that's the highlight of the week!

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Given the weather forecast I think I'll stay in an make trees. Quote

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Given the weather forecast I think I'll stay in an make trees. How's the layout coming along MB? Slowly - but that's the point. It's something to play with during the winter with current restrictions on what we can do. It's also something I've never done before so figuring out how to do things is providing something of a challenge. Each tree takes a long time to get right but the end result is quite satisfying.

rennie Posted October 30, 2020 Author Posted October 30, 2020 Well the van passed for only the cost of the test (£35) I'll take any positive I can get nowadays Quote

bonio Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Gotta chase down what might be a leak in the roof. No stains showing, just a smell of a bit of damp.We don't eat out much, but it's our anniversary so we're planning to go out for Sunday lunch. Quote
Six30 Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Not talking to the mrs ...She just threw out my big purple dinosaur, we had a massive Barney . Quote
bonio Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Sunday lunch out is off. We're now having children and grandchildren for lunch Quote
