Good Morning Good Night and General Chat.

[Mawsley]

Evening.

 

My profile tells me I joined on July 18, 2011.

 

So that's thirteen years to work out there's a gif button on the bar.

 

I'm so happy.

Well, I’ve still got a week and a half before my new bike comes - and I’m not risking having an accident on mine - so this is largely irrelevant. I’ve got to stay in this week as the clothes I drunkenly bought are all being delivered on different days at no fixed time.

It's called perspective. I can get the crayons out to explain if you need?

Morning

 

Swapped the insurance to my Harley for when it arrives - £111 cashback!

 

Clearly Hog riders are altogether better riders than Honda riders.

That's a result, you'll need that money for the extra fuel

For those who frequent the cafe at Sleap airfield....it is closed for refurbishment. 

 

And the local roads gave been covered in mud. 

 

So avoid for a while.

I'm sure the farmers around here are in competition to see who can cover the road in as much mud as possible..

It's lethal, especially when it's wet, and it covers the whole width of the road. Chuck in a few trees worth of fallen leaves just to make it worse.

That was my very recent experience darn sarf (westish).

 

Anyhoo - Marninge Biekersish.

Good morning all

 

I had a good weekend, I got engaged. 

 

Was carefully choreographed. My fiancée went to the Isle of Wight to see family, it's arguably her favourite place as she used to live there.

I snuck onto the island early Sunday morning, and went to the Needles. With the help of her sister, we got her into position near the cliffs on her favourite island hike. I'd sent a love letter message an hour earlier that she said made her tear up, and she couldn't wait to be home.

I walked up avoiding detection as she posed for a picture, looking out to sea. She asked her sister if she could turn around and I replied she could. She was completely stunned. And I was very relieved I'd pulled it off without a hitch!

Aww you old softy !!

Congratulations.

[Simon Davey]

Mate, that gave me goosebumps. 

Congratulations, the two of you look like a lovely couple.

Good morning 

Congratulations @Fozzie

Riding around Shrewsbury area the roads are covered in mud.  But the farmer has done the necessary by putting up a sign .....Mud on Road.

 

Which got me thinking....if a sign is sufficient to justify leaving the roads in a dangerous state I'm going to get one for my bike:

 

No Insurance...No Tax.....No MOT....May exceed speed limit. Then I'm covered against all eventualities.  Obviously having put up a sign the police can't touch me.

Not a bad shout there!

I will make one for the road outside," Non maintained highway use at your own risk"

Doubt local f*ckwit council understand sarcasm though.

Sarcasm, surely that's factual?

Took a full day for the emotions to hit my good lady

She was obviously very happy once the pure bewilderment passed, but I said quite quickly to just let herself be shocked. All the good stuff comes later when it sinks in. Sure enough, the next morning I showed her a picture of the proposal with a little music over it, and she burst into tears and needed a long hug. After I left she said she had on/off tears the rest of the day. 

 

Was carefully planned with a few alternatives in place. There was only one tweak, but it ended up moving the point I snuck up to a nicer spot. Only day of clear sunshine the whole week as well! So we were very lucky as she's back home this Friday.

@Fozzie Ya soppy sod...

I'm quite jealous really, never had anyone want to marry me, probably why events like yours are all the more special. I'm sitting here really happy for you, and I don't even know you.

Good luck matey.
