There were a few just down the road when I was at Uni in Loogabarooga in the early noughties. A couple at that pub in CD with the massive car park out the front*, then one or two just of J22 of the M1.
Edit:*which now appears to be an indian restaurant
That was 2003

Wasn't that when someone (X81???) crashed a customer's bike on the way over? A Cagiva?
Could be imagining that.

Been checking if old cars and bikes are still on the road. Nice to see my old GPz is still Taxed and MOT'd. It will soon be 40

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
I have organised 5 meets now for a self build camper group i help admin on Facebook. Every time when folk start asking when is the next meet we get at least 100 sticking there hands up to say well will come. On the day you are lucky to get 30 people. Oh its to far, wrong dates and various other shite. Now i just advertise a meet and expect the same group of people but its quite nice as we are all friends now so its quite nice to meet up round the camp fire for a weekend

You all should do a campfire reading of Dr. Sleep. It gives a different slant on Rose the Hat and the campervan people...Felix wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2024 1:21 pm I have organised 5 meets now for a self build camper group i help admin on Facebook.

Who? I managed to reach 60 without reading a book in my life. Not about to start now and certainly not to a bunch of piss heads round a camp fire.

We were all a lot younger then. Pre-Facebook becoming the ubiquitous place to have social groups, and then a load of people getting sick of that shit too.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
I've seen LOADS of cherry blossom, some primroses and I'm sure some crocuses. All in the valley/Annecy/Geneva/Ferney - but its kinda lovely when spring start to
And, the dry and warm meant I saw a ton of bikes, some of them sounded amazing
Spring rocks (ok, I do prefer snow, but I do love when the first bits of spring are sprung and summer is near )
