Morning. Up early. First in the brekky queue? Is it raining as bad up there as it is in my back garden? Just debating the wisdom or otherwise of venturing out.

Good morning to you also. It's lovely if a little breezy in DN11. I was awoken at 4.35 am by a starving Labrador. He doesn't know about weekends and bank holidays it seems.

I only had chance for the briefest of "hello's" with the campist's and stopper outer's yesterday as our sandwiches were whilst delicious also rather lethargic.

The main group had places to be.

I suppose it depends on how much you want to go with a 60% chance of rain?

He's asleep now by the way. ###

Ah, I thought you were B&B'ing in Hawes. I'm wimping out, it's 'orrible' ere.
Are they imitation Firestone tyres? Interesting substitution. Call the f*** brigade, see them arrive in a f*** truck, get the latest songs by Earth Wind and F***, etc..
Regardless of the name, they look jolly good. Just like everlasting tyres of yesteryear, none of this squaring off to worry about - they've been pre-squared.

A wise move regarding the weather I think. If they are re-branded Firestones I suspect the bloke who did the translation is still laughing.

The pre-squared off variant should find favour with our established long distance riders. :thumb:

Removes the need for a side stand I guess.

You say terrible, the Yorkshire version is "value".

I'm sure something can be arranged. I can't say too much what with the Huawei sh*t storm going on at the moment, but I am in advanced negotiations in becoming the sole UK importer.

Apparently we speak the same language. :)

The Advertising Standards Watchdog were a little reluctant to begin with, but are now happy with my new "strap line".

Dear Sir,


In light of the recent failure of your F***trap clothing line, the board has no other option but to terminate your contract immediately.
In short, sir, you're f***ed.

I remember as if it was just yesterday.

Report to the board room.

"Sir Alan will see you now".

Sir Alan started his tirade.

Deserved.

I need pies to stay this size. I've lost two stone since then on my new starvation diet.

A good source of rubbers, Cheers.
