Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

Just got this delivered yesterday [emoji3]

Aprilia RS250. Same engine as the RGV but in a better chassis. A bit more roomy too - handy for the middle aged gentleman!

It’s not a project at the...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

Nice. I was just reading Bike’s write up from last month and they loved it too.

They reckoned the R was a better all-rounder for the road than the RS. It has a clearer dash, that you might like,...

Kia warranty.

In contrast to the main dealer post in the gripe thread, got to give credit where it’s due.

Mrs T’s Sportage developed a rattle which turned out to be a drop link needing...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

Aye he sold it cheap. He’s remembered as a better chancellor than a PM but I reckon it might be the other way round (and I don’t think he was a good PM).

As far as the worth of money is concerned,...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

Apologies again for the derail, so here’s another smile of the day.

Tomorrow I’m getting air conditioning installed in my garage.

I don’t have air conditioning in my house. Got to get your...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

I think you’re confusing legal tender with currency. It’s not the same thing. Legal tender is a pretty archaic notion designed to make people happy with taking worthless coins for real stuff with the...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

OK. The Scottish banks keep BOE banknotes to back-up their own cash in circulation. In the event of independence, Scottish retail banks (which aren’t really Scottish anymore in any real sense) would...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

More income has been devolved to Scotland rather than being collected centrally. That might seem like semantics but it’s important to the debate in Scotland IMO

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

I’d kinda convinced myself I didn’t like it after I got it but I’ve now revised my opinion.

Nice engine and gearbox. Less character than a twin, not as dull as an in-line 4. Don’t need to change...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

Yesterday I was left in the house myself all day.

There was nothing on my domestic to-do list and I hadn’t been left with any new requests. I had a day off work and nobody was expecting anything...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

Cheers lads. I was quite reassured by the marker pen arrow!

I only had a cataract in that eye (mine was through injury rather than old age) but the lens replacement has also sorted out my short...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

Pretty good mate. Been busy. Moved house a couple of months back so that’s using up my spare time.

I’ve got a nice double garage now so have some plans afoot. Need to get all the crap out of there...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

I’m drinking beer on a train, catching up on the org for the first time in yonks.

Smiling because I’ve had some good times on here...And because I’m drinking beer.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

Wandered round the local wee Spar shop and they're doing a Whisky tasting. Half a dozen single malts available. Great chat from the girls in there - "You like that one? Well it's on special. 36 quid...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

I'm not sure what's happening to me but it does make me laugh.

I joined Facebook last month. Bought a selfie stick today. In the pound shop that I now regularly visit.

Now watching Strictly.
