It was definitely the right thing to do when Sid & I relocated to rural Wales.
While you metropolitans and urbanites wake to headlines about stabbings, bike-jackings and bent coppers, we get this early, breaking news from our local paper

A friend of mine has asked me to re-home one of these, for him:-
https://inadome.net/photo/usedbike/yamaha-gt50-02.jpg
A Yamaha GT50, circa 1972/3.
It's partly restored and currently in boxes, just needs bolting back together.
The only major defect, AFAIK is the wheel rims are slightly buckled, I rode it before it was stripped down and never noticed.
As I recall my mate has already got the 80cc kit for it!
Looks like a project is on the horizon!
Tiny two stroke goodness for the win! ____________________ "Everybody needs money, that's why they call it money!" |

In Ampthill there is a side road on a steep hill by a school in a 20mph zone, with one of those green/red smiley face/sad face speed indicators at the top of the hill
On the ascent I managed to get it to flash 9mph on my bicycle. |

There have been various bits of our house renovation that have involved boxing in pipe and other bits of trunking.
It oils my gears to place small objects inside these voids, with no explanation, for others to find many years from now. They may never be found.
So far, we've sealed up a small pottery VW camper van and a 1962 Dinky toy (Victor F Type). I've got a nice carved, red, soapstone heart waiting for the next job, probably a fireplace.
These things may never be found, but it pleases me to look up and think of each small object, hidden and unknown to everyone but us, behind the plaster. ____________________ Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're probably right |

Well I uncovered messages on the walls from former occupants of our house from 1962, added some of our own and papered back over them |

I wrapped up a penny in a piece of paper with 'You're Rich!' written on it and it's behind the dimmer switch in the old house.
I also hid some Spanish pesetas in San Antonio near Ali Bey apartments. Next to one of the telegraph poles...about halfway on the left.
My Dad threw a few shillings into the concrete footings he was laying for a Bank. The first deposit he told me.
Got a feeling I hid some acid blotters in an album cover but not come across them yet. I also hid a Christmas present one year and didn't find it until the next year.
Yeah...stashing stuff is cool. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud

I told my brother I'd buried 3 grand in a coffee jar in his back garden before I moved up here, but didn't say exactly where.

When I put a ground anchor in for my bike, I dug down about 3 and a half feet after cutting a hole in the concrete pad.
Before I filled the hole again I got a tobacco tin, put a few stones in it and then a small hand drawn penis which I had
also laminated for longevity, and buried it at the bottom of the hole in the concrete. I do hope someone finds that a very
long time from now. Time capsule wang pic. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

No doubt some tv know it all will waffle to the audience about how culturally significant the act was, and was a fertility ritual regularly carried out to ward off evil spirits, a theton level 6 act of devotion, with the ground anchor being a torture aid. ____________________

The operation to remove my left fist and replace it with a box of pies was a complete success.
