[Aww shit..didn't want the page-get...Hey-ho]
Been going through a tough patch and as is often the way I didn't let on to anybody (in the scheme of things it is a very very piddly small tough patch) and I thought an old valued friend CBA'd to see me (Sorry this is going a bit ghey isn't it) anyroad-up he's just text me and is en-route.
He's going to get the HT special cup of coffee (I rub my penis around the edge) and I'll give him a slightly firmer handshake than usual.
I'm sending good vibes to all BCF'ers I like (Quite a lot of you and you know who you are). ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud

Yes, a lot of tears and family-oriented frustration. But also including a lot of laughter, champagne, hugs, ice creams, native birdsong, good scenery, old friends, cocktail debauchery, bra-buying, balloons and fluffy puppy-dog cuddles.

Split the package down and put it in the balloons. I'll be in touch about the next step, you'll be happy you're in a 'relaxed' state though. ____________________

Used to ride that 3 times a week between 20 and 70 miles between 2009 and 2012, then stopped.
Did about 1500 miles on it. Bike cost £180
Have replaced bottom bracket, crank, chain, freewheel cassette, brake pads, pedal bearings, wheel bearings (and rear axle as I broke it), headstock bearings. All for about £85
If it does another 1500 miles, can't get much cheaper entertainment.
Am hoping that getting fitter and having stopped drinking, it has a positive effect as I've not been overly positive this last 18 months. |

I've also been cycling on my long neglected Halfrauds' special iron lump. I'd forgotten how much fun it was to not be subject to any road traffic "guidelines".

Insurance renewal time!
Devitt sent me their attempt which I shall ignore because I hate them.
Meerkats quote gave me RAC as the cheapest quote so I went to their website for a more comprehensive quote and got it even cheaper than the Meerkats. I get a discount for being an RAC member and I can boost up my breakdown cover to European cover for only £10 more than Devitts wanted.
Seeing as I will be going to Europe in August on the bike and was going to have to get Euro breakdown cover anyway I call that a win ____________________ Theory test - 19/8/09, CBT - 11/10/09, MOD 1 - 16/8/10, MOD 2 - 27/10/10

The pole arrives today. This means happy wife which means happy me. <wisdom.jpg> I was let in on the cost of
it last night, and despite a 20% discount via her contacts in the industry (The wife is an instructor now) it was still £450 quid
as it's made to measure to suit the new building. I expect I'll be installing it this weekend, then I can order a couple of eye
wateringly expensive 8 foot by 4 foot studio mirrors and a 6 inch thick circular crashmat to go around the pole. I reckon
she'll be up and running out there in a week of two, I still have to fit the soundsystem, disco lighting and some shelves and
stuff, but all the big work is done once the pole is in. Freeing me up for some spacker maintenance and a there's a couple of
parts to swap out on the scoot, I miss my shed, it's been choked up with displaced materials and furniture while this build has
been going on, be nice to get the heater on out there and get my socket set out for a change. May drop the Spacker
into Fowlers for a service, just to get the book stamped really. it's still under warranty so I might as well, they called me about
it back in October when the build started but I haven't been able to get it out of the shed for all the building clutter.
Now if this dog would just stop menstruating then that would be the cherry on the cake, so to speak. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

My gear oilage has been sponsored today by a passenger from last night. He got in at The Cheshire Cheese, a bit pissed and smelt wonderfully of pubs.
Not in a sticky-carpet sort of way, but of that really nice "wood-panelled-couple-more-beers-than-he-shoulda-had" kind of smell that decent old fashioned pubs used to smell of.
It helps that he was chatty and interesting: had he been less urbane and witty, I would probably have thought he just smelt of booze and fags.

He's never eaten human food and the amount of salt in that pie would've killed him....I've saved his life.
In fact I've taken one for the team.... every time I eat a pie I save the life of a dog.
If you were to just give £3 a week I could save many many more lives. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud
