Even after buying a few packs of immodium and some extra toilet roll he's still saved the better part of £15.

It also speeds up the post Xmas weight loss.

Its not really mine. I googled yellow sicker Türkye and nicked that from the results!

My enduro pal is at an ice hockey game in Oslo.
Just sent this photo. There's a fire alarm and being evacuated.
Thought it'd be too cold

The Türkiye bit up there ^^^ reminded me of a December trip to Turkey in the 80s. At the end of a trip around Cappadocia we headed south and back to a smallish hotel - about 7 rooms - near the yacht marina in Antalya (which was quite a small place back then). Bless 'em, they decided to cook the guests a turkey. Much hilarity about the fact that we call the bird a turkey...they call 'em hindi iirc. I don't think they'd ever roasted one before.

Result, me waiting for a bus to the airport for the trip home via a transfer at Istanbul at 6am trying to contain the world's greatest attack of the squits. Oh me oh my. As they say, the bottom didn't fall out of my world but it felt like the world was trying to fall out over my bottom.

(Wise wife didn't risk the turkey and was fine. It was a lesson I haven't forgotten).

I prefer my buttresses, flying.

Two views of the French city of Albi, taken in September 2015

I know an ex-pat who lives in Albi. He crashed his bike into his own parked car and broke his back... he got better, it must be 20 years ago, but everyone still takes the piss.

A mate of mine (who I haven't seen in decades) once reversed his Lotus Elan into his parked ZX10 (which tells you how long ago it was).

Anyone know Phil Woolley's current whereabouts?

The view from our roof terrace back towards the Chateau with a full moon on the go (also Sept 2015).

Spent a few minutes here waiting, so took a few pics.

Located on the riverside of Rocky Valley is a deep wooded valley formed by the Trevillett River near Tintagel is the derelict Trewethett Mill which was used for yarn production in the 18th century. On the rock face behind the old mill are two rock carvings of labyrinths. These are thought by some to be Bronze Age, although more recent studies suggest they were carved using metal tools less than 300 years ago.



Interesting that the sign has a single 't', the article is 'tt'. But not very interesting.

That takes me back. Jan 1979, Sat evening, I went on a call to a cow with milk fever at Trevalga, flurries of snow in the wind. By the time I’d finished we couldn’t see the yard light, real blizzard conditions, and I got stuck in the car halfway up the west side of Rocky Valley. Struggled through deep snow to the farm at Bossiney, stayed the night there and didn’t get home to St Teath till the Sunday afternoon, having abandoned the car 2 miles from home. Nostalgia.

Another pic from the last week in Cornwall.

Bude, Thursday, as near to a spectacular sunset as we got during the week.

Mrs. G had images of a beautiful spa setting, all incense and plinky-plonky music, then out comes Bubba...

Unfortunate name....

I suspect Googling them will not be NSFW.

Given the amount if piss around your average urinal, perhaps these need importing to Blighty...

Just been out walking the dog and saw these.
