That's the problem with the yoof of today: lazy, and they've always got a bloody excuse.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
Dry and sunny,so I thought I'll pull out the Zed for a couple of hours,it hasn't been run since last November. Wheeled the H1 out of the way and took the Zed off the Skylift. Just about to wheel it out of the garage,then I turned around and it was raining. Now the roads are wet again and probably won't be dry during daylight hours.
Ho hum. Some other day,perhaps.

We waited way too long for the last snowfall about 10 days ago, but when it came it was adequate. There's been a couple of light dustings since and its holding up really well. I wouldn't be planning any powder days in March, but you never really know. When I was out on Sunday, it was hard packed and really fast.Ditchfinder wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 11:11 amAre the conditions pretty good in the 3V's at the mo?

By the time I got back, he'd finished. But now half the group want me to take them out
If you're in La Tania check out Le Ski Lodge for decent priced food and great Apres.

Cheers Jody, looks like you might get a bit more this weekend but then it warms up again so more sunny terraces than fresh snow.
I can't ski for shit off piste yet anyway so probably for the best.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
Please bear with me as my post is related to the royal family although I would have the same feeling if it were anyone.
I've been getting a bit miffed by the constant media speculation about the health of Charles and Kate. Like most of the world, I don't know anything about Charles' cancer and hope he's going to be OK, as I would hope for anyone.
My stamping the floor is because I heard today a presenter on a news channel say that Catherine is seriously ill. Although I can't know whether or not this is true, it is speculation based on the length of time 'the palace' has said she will be recuperating after surgery.
I don't know exactly what treatment she had but I had an abdominal operation last year* which the surgeon told me was major surgery with a potential duration of 3 months for a full recovery. Sort of like what we'd been told about Kate. I accept that it's possible the speculation is correct but why not wait until Easter, after which time she was expected to return to royal duties.
Rant over.

Remember: they'll print/broadcast whatever sells. Doesn't matter if it's 100% true or not. If it gets people buying the paper/watching the channel they'll say it.

One of the last good bits of road in east lancs, the A682 from Gisburn to long Preston now had average speed cameras (50) on it.
I think I'm calling time on the Guzzi, everywhere that isn't riddled with potholes has cash machines on it now.

Is it just me, or have egg shells got really flimsy in the last few years? I used to get "split evenly in half" crack but now I get loads of little bits of shell.

It could be old eggs, type of chicken feed, very young chickens, there's a lot of reasons. Next time you're out in the countryside and you see fresh eggs for sale, stop and buy some.
I'm just eating egg on toast for brekkie, I can see the chickens these eggs came from.

Arsehole pro-cyclists.
They come for winter training and their arrogance and self importance knows no bounds and they piss everyone off.
Today, they excelled themselves. Saw 3 cyclists, which would have been easy for cars to pass. Oh no. Their coach was sat in a car behind them, at their speed with hazard warners on.
Blocking the road with large tailbacks. Saw them twice on our morning walk and some cars had to do dodgy overtakes to get past.
Shame the Guardia Civile didn't spot them.
