Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Feeling manly tonight. The Freesat box started playing up last week and then we lost most of the channels - the signal strength showing nil on both input channels. I could see the LNB (the bit on the...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

Re: CB650R with E-clutch
It's an interesting concept and I certainly hope other manufacturers bring similar to the market soon so we have more choice. I would quite like to try a DCT-style auto and i'm surprised it's not on...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Had a test ride today on what will probably be my next bike. Had a day to myself as Lady Poppy is visiting her sister so rode to a Triumph dealer (nobody bothered to acknowledge me), went to a Yamaha...

Re: Voting
I imagine the turnout around me was very low yesterday, but we only had the Police and Crime Commisioner to vote for this time. Can anyone truly say this position is worthwhile or makes a difference...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Quite agree. On the flip side I was avoiding a traffic jam on Tuesday night and went a different route home and one of the villages I passed through was clearly campaigning for a 20 limit. Currently...

Re: The All New Megathread
I take it the windows were not put in by Everest then Craig. Cannot believe they've gone bust again, but then if they hacked off all their customers in the way they did me last year then it serves...

My moron next-door neighbour has got his scrapyard-dodging chainsaw out again. All he ever does is cut things down. I've told him it's nesting time but he does not care, claiming he needs to clear...

Re: The Veg Plot.
My spuds are now in but my flip was the ground soggy! Thankfully the forecast is good for a few days so with luck it'll warm up a bit to reduce the risk of the tubers rotting off before they start...

Oh dear... I seem to be in trouble with Lady Poppy as my already bad snoring has gotten worse lately.

Lovely terrain around the Fold. Some of the ancient stones are a short walk away and well worth the views you get when searching them out. Know what you mean about the vibes - it's a magical place...
