The All New Megathread - Page 283 - SV650.org

Back home after a couple of days in the Diff. saw bits of the city I've not been in before. Lots of pedestrianised bits and lots of gorgeous old buildings. I loved all the different Victorian and Edwardian arcades as well.

A bit of cabaret from some woman in an expensive looking car. She followed a police van down one of the paved areas of St Mary Street. The coppers obviously had a remote to operate the bollards that can be lowered and which automatically raise again. They lowered the bollards and drove over them, the woman in the expensive car then tried to drive over them too - just as they raised back up. A horrible crunching sound followed as they trashed the plastic on the front of the car and left it dangling on it's rear wheels with the front in the air. I looked round at the police van to the sight of one of the coppers trudging wearily back up the street towards the car, with a resigned expression on his face.

Absolutely cracking gig in the evening with Palaye Royale.

Drunk in charge yes - losing your license - no.
Did a week cycle tour in Poland years ago, had a beer at lunch time, 7% or so, the tour leader said that you can be thrown into gaol for riding a bike under the influence, did not believe him but he was right!

Evening all. The everyday stresses of life, and wondering if WW3 is about to errupt around us, has been complicated by daughters boyfriend showing a faint fail line on the LFT he did this morning. They've been staying with us for the weekend and had what seemed to be an emerging cold that got worse, hence the test this morning. I had to take them back to Brighton in the car so they could WFH whilst isolating as there was no way they could take the train. Will find out in a week or so if I've got it I suppose...

One of my team tested with a faint line, which got progressively darker the longer he was positive. His girlfriend didn't test positive for a couple of days, but did in the end

Don't forget to raise an org glass for reeder today xGx

maviczap · 21-03-22, 08:50 AM

Yes, raise a glass tonight. I was up that way yesterday, it's not somewhere I usually go, and it reminded me to check the date, as I knew it was round about this time of year we lost him.

Thanks Geo

Still remembered and still missed. It was a sad day for all when he left us.

Sir Trev · 21-03-22, 07:02 PM

It was sad indeed [heads off to find the gin].

Evening orgers. We have snow!
