I propose that tomorrow, Good Friday is renamed Good FridgeDay, when all MPs that have broken the law can go hide in a fridge and contemplate their decision making skills.

Perhaps when they have got into the fridge we could have the door locked behind them?

Ahhh, but you forget that they're politicians. They'd pick this fridge:

Managed to get an Abba Skylift ordered. They've been out of stock for ages!

Click is the shop owner


Been to Clicks for a Mot. Chap there with a Matchless 500. Click showed him how to start it, (valve lifters) put it on and off its stand and then watched him ride round the carpark with some concern - the chap has owned the bike for 45 plus years, its been off the road the last 40 but he has decided to resume his motorcycle hobby and already he has a trip to Aylesbury planned, - (he did admit it might be a bit far for him now so he might hire a van to take it in) said he was so excited to hopefully see his bike running again he had been awake since 4am!

The guy is 84 years old! I like his spirit but the mind boggles
It did make me smile.

One of the guys in my local bike club turned 80 last month. He is still riding an MT07, though he had to sell his Harley due to arthritis playing up when using the clutch. He still has his RD350 too.

Good for him EE2 - hope I am still fit enough when I reach that age (heading in that direction fast) but this guy has not having ridden for 40 odd years, having to kick start an old single and master the complexity of a valve lifter I think will be beyond him but good luck to him for trying.

Why would he want to go to Aylesbury I wonder?

My SoTD is having The Monkey home for the weekend and it being nice enough to have a lazy lunch outside in the sunshine as a family.
