I can get bags like that from the Looky Looky men here for 20€ with lifetime guarantee.
Yawn, and then grab a cold beer and sit in the sun all day cracking one off........ :roll: :roll:

Do you need to be a cock all the time? I don't comment on any of your put down replies normally, but this is a bit more personal. I can take all the abuse you can throw at me, but not towards something my wife who has worked bloody hard (whilst holding down an executive job) and spent money putting together. So sorry, but do fuck off!!
WTF????

It was a joke. Sheesh.
Your view on what's a joke, is very different from mine, implying that she's selling tat that you can buy from some dodgy bloke?

You lost the plot when you thought I'd be impressed by an executive job.

I'd be impressed by nurse or teacher.

Checked next weeks safety documentation and trained/showed the new starter how to do it. Then I let him check it and showed him where he missed bits (I'm a bit of a pedant about the documentation, even amongst my colleagues), but its always a bit of a relief when someone else looks at what you've checked and doesn't find something you've missed😂.

Road to Canterbury and back. First longer ride on the Triumph. 100 odd miles. The rear shock is horrid. No damping and it is in need of servicing or replacement. Other than that the engine was fine, ran smoothly even though it is approaching 59k miles. Goes very well and has that smooth power for road riding.

Foolishly, I have just shared the link with my wife, I suspect the bank account will get hammered shortly…

Thanks, I'm really proud of what she's achieved in a short space of time.

If there's a few other half's interested I could get her to set up some sort of discount code for the forum? If not, get the wife to follow them on Instagram as they occasionally put discount codes on there. :thumbup:

My doorbell went at 01:30 this morning, waking me from my deep slumber. My Daughter, who lives 40 miles away, is standing there, pissed, saying "Surprise"! :wtf:

She was at her mates, sorry, after party, up the road and decided she'd come home and stay here and see us. How unexpected but how lovely! :wub:

This morning I'm woken by KISSstory playing loudly in the lounge. I can't get in the bathroom and her boots are laying across the living room floor and there's a cup, bowl and plate on the living room floor as well and the kitchen looks like a war zone. My phone is unplugged and hers is plugged in.

She's a malevolent force, but God she livens the place up and its lovely to have her home - I think! :D

Girl babies get away with murder,especially if they are the youngest. "Are you letting her away with that"? was a constant moan from her two older brothers,when they were all still at home.

Back home after my second 5am start of the weekend. At least today was pretty simple - here, GVA, Meribel, home; unlike yesterday's marathon!! Luckily the last job yesterday was delayed, so I could quit at 12 hours and go to bed!! LOL

Tomorrow is only 6.20am, so it'll feel like a lie in!

Not sure why but damn it's taking a long time to get back into the swing of this and I'm still sodding knackered!! :lol:


With a lot of luck, I might get home in time to get a short ski in tomorrow. Maybe!!!
Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!! :bblonde:
