Sounds like the attitude of the majority of the South West.

Don't get me wrong, there's SOME nice people here, but they're generally not very welcoming to 'furriners' (anyone not from the South West).

Of course, being a 'furriner' and having lived in the South West for the last 8 years I've also come to realise it's very much a case of "if you're not yokel, you're not welcome"

Got to admit, being a life-long furriner, I've learnt to take my "uniqueness" as a positive, and so now whether people think I'm a scumbag Londoner, or whether they realise I'm a kiwi, it makes no difference to me, I just go about my business, with a polite hello or the odd short cheery conversation.

The good thing about that is that nobody knows your business.
Cool Thumbs Up (except what ya tell them, and I'm a bit selective about what I tell them)

The bad thing, of course, being that you can't get any help when you could do with a neighbourly hand.

I'm currently undergoing that this very afternoon:
Despite living here for 14 years this week, I purposely tend to keep all my neighbours at arms length. I never go in their houses, I think I've briefly been in maybe three houses in the whole street, ever. And they rarely get invited into mine.

So now I could do with a nice chirpy chappy to help jumpstart* the Suzuki for me, but I absolutely refuse to admit vulnerability to this load of lowlifes and scumbags.

Thats what I pay my RAC for Laughing worst case scenario, I can get the RAC out to jump start me (another day, cos its too cold this evening now Laughing )

RAC men expect you to be a vulnerable woman.
I couldn't allow my neighbours to think I might be.



*can't find me frickin jump leads Laughing

Meanwhile, today's gears have been oiled and simultaneously ground by Lawrence heralding my arrival back home from a week of dogsitting, by leaving me a half-chewed rat.

Nice.

When I lived in Weston-super-Mare I used to listen to the locals planning a trip to Bristol. If Scott had put as much planning in his trip as they did he'd have got to the south pole first and not have died on the way back.

Got given some Imperial tools from Hoffy's dad Wub
And some very cool little ammo box panniers
And a lid from his mum (been wearing that a while now)
And some ladies' summer gloves
And a jacket, in mint condition, with original badges and studs on the collar, proper cool.

One day, when you have a moment, could you perhaps do us the great service of summarising your various escorts, consorts and ex's - just so we can get a handle of who's who and add some 'colour' to the posts?

No need to go back to depths of time - just a couple of years say Wink

Gixxer 750 out of the garage for the first time in two years. New battery in, started 3rd press. Much cleaning and fettling to do now before MOT. Once MOT'd, my intention is to sell it and put the money towards something lighter that I can tour on in comfort. Happy days!

I'll save the detail for my autobiography, sweetie.
There's really not that many, I am 60 after all, so a bit of history is only to be expected - and in fact the only reason there *seems* like a lot is cos I have done a bit of dating lately, having a good time while I still have a decent set of norks and some energy left, before I moulder away into a coffin.

They're all extremely personable chaps IRL.

Recent consorts:
* Senior consort (not a biker, still a petrolhead though: likes F1, Porsches, gardening, whiskey, has done Le Mans in go-kart )
* Piltdown Amesbury man (retired from fixing jets, good with bikes, has a new bird now, as I'm too bossy (moi? Angelic )
* Military Type (very bad PTSD, ex-bomb commander, a bit posh in the past but suitably blokey now, lovely and tall 6'2, barking mad, considered me sexually aggressive early on, but now wishes he hadn't mentioned it)
* Sinister Fiend (likes mudskipping and historical re-enactment, does a nice line in arse striping)

Later history:
* Big bad ex (old school 1%er, 6'6" and built like a brick shithouse, no idea where he is now, turns out I never really did) - the one I fell the hardest for, the adorable sonofabitch Wub
* The mad ginger one (assorted smaller bike clubs, extraordinarily annoying but a solid mate, occupation: "in recovery", looks like catweazle)
* Husband no. 2 (now deceased, Italian, great cook, father of my esteemed only-child daughter)
* Husband no. 1 (married when I was 18 y.o. in NZ, 25% Samoan, doesn't look anything like John Travolta but I thought he did Rolling Eyes wins prize for best cock).

That takes you back to 1980. There have been one or two in between that. At least three of the above are very-long-term relationships.

Just had a brilliant weekend down in Salisbury at a rally. Took the mad ginger one for his first outing with his stall, so didn't take my bike (for a change).

It was a bit tough seeing a former consort with his new bird, but hey ho: good luck to her - if she can cope, she's a better bird than me. There must be someone right for him Laughing

Stayed up all night round the fire, two nights running.
Met some awesome peeps.
Danced some demons out on the Saturday night.

Great rally, a really nice bunch of chaps, those Sarum lot are. They currently have a cute prospect, what a shame about my one man/one club rule Laughing

Oh yeah, and I worked out how to put a little pop-up tent back down at the end of the rally.
Its not that frickin hard, millennials.

Many thanks, very pleased to learn husband #1 has 'best cock' (its those details that matter)

Ref. 'arse striping' is this something I'll regret looking up on urban dictionary? Shocked

Despite a fairly scoffy weekend*, I managed somehow to lose at least 2 lb and am now officially lighter than I have been in at least 10 years.

Possibly it was the dancing on Saturday night, I did do quite a lot stomping around to many many songs such as Tie Your Mother Down and Enter Sandman. Bloody Womble and his disco Laughing But then I also caned four LARGE glasses of chardonnay. They're much bigger and much cheaper in Salisbury than in Londinium, LOL

Still a fatty boomstick, though. Rolling Eyes


*rally = burgers with everything, although I did manage to pick the B, L and T out of a sandwich and throw away the bread uneaten.
