Proud of my blood, but I really shouldn't be because I did nothing to earn it :D

Don't care, saved some babies lives :obscene-birdiedoublered:
If you read the T&C's you're not supposed to give blood if you've ever had bum sex.

I just looked it up, it doesn't matter. However it's not a complete ban on bum love, it just means you have to wait three months after bum loving a new partner.

Getting our own personal air-display from the IWC Silver Spitfire.... :D :D :D

I've genuinely not seen low passes like that since the Hannas stopped flying. The photos do not do the flying justice at all.

One of my best pals on the island has just decided to buy a V4 Panigale in Manchester.
He flies over in a few days.
Then Plymouth to Santander ferry. Then ride to Cadiz.

Just told him I'm at Portimao and he said he'd try to pop in.
And he's booked on same ferry home as me :)

Driving up to Bilbao last weekend, the motorway is a toll road. I paid €33.45 on Saturday and €0.95 on Sunday to finish the journey, I paid with my Wise card. It looks like Wise give the toll company 7 days to take the money or the transaction gets cancelled. I've now had both amounts refunded to my card. 😁

I'll be driving back though France in a couple of weeks time, I'll see if Wise can do the same for the French tolls.

Found a great local tapas place 1/2 mile from hotel.
Nice to see different stuff to the island .
It's a lovely covered terrace and every 10 seconds, about 20 jets spray over us :)

It's 34c and needs it ;)

Fair play to him, I'd love to do something similar but that's a hell of a ride on a new sportsbike, my back and wrists wouldn't take it.

3 of the lads now have the V4.
I feel quite poor with only the Suzuki

Chemtrails to mind control the populous and further spread the microchips for those who didn't have the vaccine. Fact.

A couple of weeks ago I had a bloke and his wife telling me how to spot the difference between contrails and chemtrails, they also told me I should use cash for everything, the Spanish government were causing the drought, they had an endless list of nonsense.

If a contrail is a thin line that disappears it's definitely a contrail. If it hangs in the air and spreads out it's a chemtrail.

There's no arguing with the science.

Second hand prices here are stupid. He bought a S1000RR from UK a few years ago.

OMG!!! There used to be a woman lived up here that had all those arguments. The chemtrails had little nano bots in that would get into the human systems so we could all be controlled by 'the government' - which isn't a country government, it's a group of international people that have got together to rule the world!! And you can tell that they are chemtrails because it isn't possible for the vapour trails from airplanes to stay so clear when they cross :roll: (She's a pilot you know, so she is the authority!!)

But that stage in the lecture I'd lost the will to use words like perspective!!!

OMG, the weirdest 30 minutes ever!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
