I've been watching: Netflix Homeland (all seven series on Netflix) Sons of Anarchy (for the hundredth time) BBC Back to Life YouTube Shadetree Surgeon FlipNa The Missenden Flyer Delboy's Garage Allen Millyard But my find of the year (for me) on YT is Moto Geo which is Jamie Robinson (yes, ex GP rider and Performance Bikes columnist) and the outstanding Moto Stories with Unkie Phil - absolute gold!! Despite his critics, I quite enjoyed Delboy’s stuff in the past. He seem to have run out of ideas on where to take the channel now, though (how many fork rebuilds can I watch?). Now if he fancies restoring a VFR800fi to original condition... that would be new, and I have just the bike (and would happily source and pay for the parts) Edited January 13, 2021 by Steve_M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbob Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) Try to watch or listen to the entire YouTube content featuring the wonderful Mr Karl Pilkington who , in case you didn't know , has a head like a f*****g orange ! And if you need cheering up on a weekly basis there's always Robert and Toyah's Sunday Lunch . Last week's offering had a couple of outstanding features . https://youtu.be/JdvGo7DsFbQ Edited January 13, 2021 by fastbob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James in Brum Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Vietnam War on Netflix is interesting, plenty of documentaries if you like that sort of stuff the Marvel TV series. Could do a free trial of Disney and watch all of Star Wars and marvel stuff. oh and Star Trek discovery on Netflix is good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennie Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I started learning the guitar in the last 1, when I was at home I'd need to be off work for a long time to actually get anywhere! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzie Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I've got some home projects out of the way to break the monotony of working from home and watching Netflix. I demolished my bathroom, all the way back to brick and built it back up again. I'm now converting my garage into a workshop, and got the new bench built yesterday. Hoping to get either a second bike or a project in there in the next month or two. TV wise I'm going through the old classics, Long way round/down/up, as well as all the stuff Charley Boorman did away from Ewan, which is on Prime I think.

We’ve just finished remodelling our bathroom. Similarly, we took it back to brick (or stone, in some places, being a stone built house). That done, we’ve started on what was a shower room, and converting it to a toilet room with an airing cupboard. It seems this is the third of fourth time this room’s been worked on as there are already three layers of tiles on the end wall, each boxed in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 between going to work I have been too busy sorting the house out! Finally finished one of the spare rooms after a lot of messing about with deliveries and damaged wardrobes! This was taken before I had finished! its all leveled up now! On to the next room now which is our main bedroom but I will be building the wardrobes in there myself rather than flat pack! But first I need a plasterer but would that be classed as essential 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wall looked like a relief map of the Lake District, too. That’s a trade I’ll happily pay for. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should get it tested!!

Stu Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Probably be a bit more than 10mm as the ceiling is out on places and I would want it flat It's going to be cutting it just fine with the wardrobe doors I will be getting and that 10mm would probably push it in to custom sizes at about 50 quid a door more!
