Hi

You can still recover. The washing machine is required as you hectic social life leaves you no time to sit in a laundrette.

The diesel is only a tempory measure until you can afford the insurance on something quick.

It is easy to spot people having a mid life crisis as they go and buy a motorbike Confused .

All the best

Keith

Don't know, was thinking of a paramotor. Would cost me about £5000 to find a new and novel way of hurting myself. Either than a Busa and a turbo kit.

All the best

Oooo, I've been quite tempted by that, well both those suggestions before Smile.

So anyone want to do a day's paragliding that we were talking about last year?

I'd be up for that, the old man keeps nattering on about it being more exciting than bikes but I've never got around to trying it Thumbs Up

Yea, always liked the idea of it since I first saw it.
However paragliding seems the obvious way to try it out, also like the general serenity that's portrayed with para/hang-gliding. Presume it's going to be a fair bit cheaper just to try it as well... though will also be cheaper to buy etc presumably Smile.

Speaking of outings... When are we going paintballing again? I thoroughly enjoyed that til someone shot me in the arse when I was the last surviving member of my group. That faking hurt.
