Found this on my old Flickr album.

Can’t remember who led the ride or took the pic but it was a VD rideout around E.Sussex.

Rye harbour car park

Strolled up to the nearby pub for a couple, returned to greet a new house guest. That's a pint glass, BTW.

You've squashed its foot!

I can assure that, by the way it was running around soon after, I hadn't.

Giant House Spider innit. Keep rescuing them (it's probably the same one! ) from the bath and the kitchen sink. Don't mind them as they don't make webs all over the place ie around the bedroom ceiling*. They're pretty fast but they don't bite so you can pick 'em up and rescue them for karma points.

The ones that tick me off are cellar spiders, the spindly, webby blighters.

* They sometimes try, unsuccessfully, to build a web ladder to get out of the sink/bath.

They would if they could, bit apparently their jaws/teeth aren't large enough to penetrate human skin.

BiL was having work done on his house. Builder pointed out a nest of False Widow spiders.

They can break skin, although the real risk is infection from whatever you already have on your skin. Which can sometimes lead to necrosis.

I mean, who bothers with that, just tip it down the drain!

Now we know why Yorick loves the brand.

While Yamaha were making musical instruments; and Suzuki were painting toe nails; this Kawasaki Ha40 engine was a Japanese license-built version of the German Daimler-Benz DB 601 12 cylinder liquid-cooled inverted V engine, the engine used in the Bf 109, Bf 110, and Do 215.

This was the only inverted V, and the only liquid-cooled engine used by Japanese aircraft during WW2 and it was only used in the Kawasaki Ki-61 .

BMW ait cooled flat err....lots*....stick that in your cafe racer.



*STFU pedants, I know it's a radial engine

Whilst we were away recently we found a diorama that included the cathedral used as a filming location for King's Landing in Game of Thrones, so naturally we took a suitable photo and 'shopped a background in.
