I see that in a national poll of motorbike cafes Old Stores came out top. Well deserved. 

Which national poll was that?

Interested to check out local establishments.

Cheers

Actually I misread it - they came 2nd. But I was looking at it on my phone before I'd woken up and put my glasses on. 

 

Still a damn good cafe though.

Thanks for that. 

Shame it's Facebook but I am sure someone will reprint it.

Who was first then? Mold is a bit far for a coffee and cake. On one of my treks up or down to Northumberland it maybe interesting.

Bovey Tracy is equally remote. I'll stick with the Piston Club which is a pub really.

Touchdown at #24 is my local go to place.

Good luck with the DIY and the op

 

As for the first bit of that post, there is a wrong side and no matter what the woman is like walk away not violence is the answer.

 

Thanks, I can relax a bit now as I managed to get most of it taken care of. Not had a weekend in quite a while, but the operation is going to give me 10 days off. 

I absolutely agree, he should have walked away. I don't agree with the two guys who have come out in defence of the assault either. I have no way to verify, I've heard threats were made that the ex-bf ignored, but was later assaulted by a stranger outside his local pub. He got wind of claims being made that made him feel his life was being turned upside down. He confronted her friends first, but then goes on to his ex's home to confront her and it quickly escalated. 

I reckon I've been approached as in the final encounters I had with this girl, I recorded video with my phone in my pocket due to the nature of what was being said/done, so suspect they worry I might be a third person. But I want nothing to do with it. It could have been avoided, but what is done is done. 

 

Never personally directed violence towards women, and find the guys speaking up weak in their arguments, as they only describe low level stuff like slaps/punches. Had a few of those, it never warranted smashing someone's face. Comes over like they want to be justified in doing more in retaliation.

Have you had the jab? 

 

I had 2 x pfizer, didn't bother boosting as that seemed mostly focused on the older folk. And I'd already had covid so to me I'd already had two boosters. 

Over 3 years ago now. 

 

Got to say, Facebook comment sections are draining. Any premature death, even ones later to be found are drugs/suicide bring them all out now. They seem to think it's like a quick acting asbestos effectively.

Good morning

Good afternoon!

 

Mid-week, and a lot of the drama from the past couple of weeks both at work and outside it are thankfully moving off now. 

Still got a lot of CV's to work through and produce a short list. But a light at the end of the tunnel. 

[Simon Davey]

Good to hear @Fozzie

It'll be a nice evening for a ride too.

Good afternoon

Bahhh humbug have germs, lots of germs, anyone want some I'm willing to send them  

[rennie]

We're desperately trying to get rid of ours! Sue won't be able to have her op if she's got cold/flu or whatever

Evening.

 

First day without dressings. Surgeon made a complete mess of my gut, can’t wait to show the wife. Still can’t do anything other than work, eat, or play games on the computer - I think it’s effected my brain, I’ve been looking at possible Harley’s to swap the AT for.

I am local and have a lovely 1564 Dyna you could meet for inspiration if you think it would help ?

On a serious note as I am local if there is anything I can do to help please ask!

Cheers man. I need someone who can cook better than my wife. Last night was some oven heated vegetarian puff pastry thing with potatoes and bullet peas. It’s like she is being passive aggressive with food and forcing me to endure NHS-style cuisine until I’m back to being able to cook all our meals again.

 

So, seriously, if you can do a lunch and supper shift every day for the next seven weeks that’ll be golden. Needless to say, if you don’t know your way around a spice cupboard and don’t know what seasoning is then forget it.

 

I probably don’t want a Harley. The medication will wear off. I’ve just got to sit it out…although while I was on morphine last week I bought £1500’s worth of 2nd hand camera lenses. When I get better the wife is going to put me back in hospital.
