Brilliant news mate.

I take it you've gone for the DR in a bid to escape the scenery when you've left the road by accident

Does it have airbags?

As Brockett said take it easy(ish) and start plotting a route for North Leics.

Excellent news and hope you had a great birthday. Can't wait to catch up again on a ride out.

The lazy addition of a 'y' to a noun to create cringingly inappropriate adjectives.
Heard 'analogue-y' the other day. FFS!

You can create adverbs similarly...." bigly", Mr. President?

Just listened to the end of a Billy Joel concert.

His last advice is....."Don't take any sh*t from anybody".

Trouble is I/we do............

Good to hear you are better. Try not to fall off again

Today I struck out for freedom and cut the microphone off my cardo bluetooth.
Been using it for eight years and always hated the mic on its coiled wire mount. I have read others hate it too, but the advice to them was that it can't be cut off without the whole unit failing.
Well. I can now say it can be cut off as long as the mini co-axial wiring is fixed/ taped to ensure they do not short out. I taped it and shrink wrapped it.
I was concerned that the mic wiring might have also provided an aerial. It doesn't.
It works fine.

This may mean nothing to you, but for me it is a significant victory for Brockett bodgery vs. sound technical advice.

Just a moan about the lack of moaners on here .... Come on, up your game a bit

So long as the photo's in colour and you find one without a kipper tie, brylcream, lit by gas etc. no one on the Russian dating websites really notices. Well, so I'm told

Current moan would have to be that it's too *****y hot. Gets the masses decamping from shopping centres onto the roads. Bring back April!

There's a vid going around with a woman showing a zoo gorilla her mobile phone with gorillas on it:

My son has the use of my new'ish caravan in exchange for storing it on his property.
He borrowed it for a weekend. A week later I popped round to do a couple of things.
Discovered a sink full of filthy dishes, baked bean encrusted saucepan, fat splattered everywhere from bacon sarnies, and top it all, toilet cassette still full and brimming!

I said WTF!!??
He said.....what's the problem?

Is it me???

Yes!

I was leaving a petrol station yesterday when I saw a chap coming out of McDonald's with his daughter (c.10yr old) getting on his sportsbike. Dad in full leathers, daughter in leggings and t-shirt. May just be me, but if you feel the need to be in full leathers surely your child should have as equally protective clothing
