utterly random picture thread.

Been nagging my mum to dig this photo out for years.

It's my grandad (and granny, who died before I turned one), on his bike at some point in the 1940s. As it's wartime/just after, he's wearing his Fire Service uniform so he doesn't get done

Beyond it being a Sunbeam I know nothing else about it. I'd love to know what happened to it.

I reckon, based on the tank shape, exhaust layout and tailpipe shape, plus the similarity in reg number to this one, that's it's a Model 9 (500cc)...

Nice!

Beamers were well respected, reliable fast bikes of the time.

I bought a plate from DVLA a couple of weeks ago (RA63 LDV) It was only £250 but it turned out when i was trying to put it in my reg doc, i could not use it as it made my motor look younger Luckily i had 14 days to change my mind and got a refund.

Bill getting a bit excited at the footy today... Appears to be wearing body armour under his shirt, while the bloke behind him looks to be having a quick wank...

2nd from the left. He can leave the kappa out but I'd know his menacing stance anywhere!

This'll be a bit costly. Usually the hire companies turn a blind eye to minor damage, but not this time

Even damaged sunroof somehow

You have no idea how thankful I am that:

A. None of our nice clothes were ruined in this wash, and that the only outcome is that we look as if we buy our tea towels from Brighton.

And

B. That it wasn't me who put the offending non-colour fast item in there.

Was the offending item one of your pairs of red corduroys?

My corduroy colour palette is limited to earthy hues, I'll thank you for asking. It includes taupe, mushroom, fired earth, terracotta, olive green, sandstone and potter's clay.

All with elasticated waist for comfort of movement.

(The offending item was that Desigual bag-for-life (colour-for-one-wash)).

Reminds me of wife's story about attending the Bath Festival (kind of precursor to Glasto, stonking line-up though). Mate's brother cooked up some rice, which turned out pink. Turns out he'd previously tie-dyed his T-shirt in the pan.
