You have a list of nationalities of women you want to have sex with, isn't that a lot childish and more than a little creepy?
If you're a shagger, you need to do something to stay motivated.

I -really- hate the leg thing, I don't know why, but it's probably because the level of riding over here is excruciatingly bad (the way they sit in the driver's blind spot waiting for them to notice and clear a path) and so most of the riders just wind me up. ;)

But, drivers being nice is nice - so I just wave my thanks at the mover-overs, just to be different.

Drivers probably don't understand what it means. They may well think it's meant aggressively.

Also, as it's relatively low (compared to a hand), it's more likely to be missed.

Give them a wave, just a raised hand. Easy, visible, understood.

Oh they definitely do understand the leg thing, it's absolutely rife, everyone does it (apart from me). And drivers being friendly and moving over on a scale I've really not seen anywhere else. I don't know why I'm complaining really, it's a great place to ride, even the LePlod are friendly to bikers as a rule.

I had Slowys in my gardens for years. I could literally go and get one to show anyone on cue. Last couple of years we haven't seen any? :(

We keep spotting little ones but haven't seen an adult for a while. Did find a baby adder in the kitchen once!

Toast I can understand. Even bacon. But trying to eat cereal must be impossible. Unless it's porridge, then maybe. But you'd roast your balls, so still a no.
