Imagine me doing it now when I say 'What's got two thumbs, can still get a bone on and still spaff his load, post prostate surgery when i was told it was very unlikely?' 8-)

I know. Gross, but I'm feeling quite pleased and relieved, even though since my vasectomy many years ago it's served no practical purpose. :lol:

Back in my 20's maybe, but even then, doubtful. :lol:

More 'things that make me laugh, a lot' :lol:

My boss was talking to one of the drivers this evening and commenting on the fact that she got a 300€ tip - he said "I think there was a blow job involved" :lol: :lol: Extra funny cos she's his wife - and there really wouldn't have been!! :lol: :lol:

Later, I was talking to another driver about my inability to pronounce "toute" correctly. Alan uses a vape thingy and it's quite a chunky one. So he gets the vape and says "you need to practice like this - " and sticks the Vape in his mouth and says "toute" around it! I didn't have the french words to explain why I was sat there howling with laughter :lol: :lol: (That really did look like he was telling me to practice saying "toute" whilst giving a BJ !! :lol: )


It's the little things that make me laugh :angelic-green: :angelic-green: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!! :bblonde:

The boys latest Instagram clip has gone bonkers

Usually he gets 200-400 likes.

I got up at 7am and he'd got 1700, in the last hour he's gained 400 more. I'd love to know how/why so we could take advantage of it in the future.

I assume the snow and snow riding hashtags are new? Any others specific to this post?

Are they turning into followers?

Hashtags are the usual thing, but maybe Vroomy & the Bots are getting into downhill? :)

Correct

Yeah he's gained a fair few new followers

It'll be interesting to see if any other grow and snowball, but i imagine it's a one-off

Listening to GHR and a bit of Ken Bruce, when he has Tony Hadley on, and he mentions that he went jogging with ONJ in the SoF with Miles Copeland's chateau in the background.
That's the next house down on the left from me :thumbup:

European crane.
We are on the flight path for their migration, south in November, north feb/march.
They use our Manor for navigational readings, flocks of about 2-300 at a time swirling above us, do about 10 laps, work out which way is north and away they go!
Bloody noisy at times though!

Well done. :thumbup:

I've lost track but I think it's 40 years for me later this month. I'd been working my way up to stopping the foolish habit on April Fool's Day but it got to about March 20th and I thought "Sod it, let's start (stop) right now". So I threw away what was left of my final pack of Benson & Hedges, and that was that.
