    Terrible news about Notre Dame in Paris

    I once set fire to my pad doing exactly that. The council came round after a week and fixed it. Good as new, ie not very.

    Lose Weight - DRINK MORE BEER

    I've recently been diagnosed with diabetes and I'm on these tablets called Metformin. 4 a day and I'm away.... scoff and drink what I want. Dunno how the diabetes came about though, I'm 11st wet through, 5'10" and as fit as a fiddle except after sugar and carbs which used to put me flat on my back.

    Reminiscences

    That's the one! I googled it and got an image of the cover, don't know where I got the "lot of red" bit from! Thanks for the very kind offer of the loan but I'll decline... maybe my copy will turn up in due course and I'm glad that someone else remembers it out of all the oft-mentioned ones out...

    Reminiscences

    Looking forward to the quotes! No that's not the book I had in mind... there was a lot of red on the cover IIRC and it was just about beer, no wine.

    Reminiscences

    I'm intrigued... what was so awful about the Ken Shales book? I don't have it and not familiar with it, but I do still have ragged copies of all the Berry and Lines stuff. I used to have a glossy thing that was exclusive to Boots ( McDonalds being the publisher, I think), but that disappeared...

    Astronomers have taken the first ever image of a black hole

    It's the BBC... it's photoshopped and a manufactured reason where the Brexit promises disappeared to. Full of shyte the lot of 'em. Bring on the revolution.

    Astronomers have taken the first ever image of a black hole

    Are they caused by global warming?

    Favorite movies.

    Rockin' With Seka Deep Throat Duel.... the bit where our hero's car is overheating cos he didn't change the dodgy radiator hose, and the car is losing power and speed on the steep ascent whilst the truck behind him makes ground, is incredible. I can relate to that moment cos I get every bit as...

    Which movie(s) have you watched recently?

    Only 10 minutes?? You must have a hair-trigger! It always has a happy ending for me...

    Which movie(s) have you watched recently?

    Deep Throat... again. A true classic of its genre and one I'll never tire of.

    Major supermarket starts selling brewing kits.

    Funny, I distinctly remember the blame being directed at crop failure, on here and elsewhere. And not for a nanosecond do I believe that such noxious fluids as beetroot juice and other health-freak fodder ( of which any big supermarket stock several brands of ) are bigger sellers than WGJ used...

    Why does home brew make me squiffy?

    It's down to the presence of hops... a natural soporific and related to cannabis. Getting wasted on beer is very different to getting wasted on other alcoholic beverages.

    Major supermarket starts selling brewing kits.

    Not as gutted as a lot of us were when Asda and almost everyone else stopped selling cheap white grape juice. Are they still peddling the crapola that it was crop failure that caused the original grape famine, and that it has occured every year since, presumably cos of climate change crapola...

    Speed limiting technology [Poll]

    This BMW thing.... not too long ago they were a not-too-common sight on the road. They had an air of exclusivity and were something to aspire to. Now it seems that everyone has 'aspired' cos they're as common as Fiestas.... same goes for Audi. I hope the owners are happy and feel suitably smug...

    10 Most Wanted Electric Car 2019

    I couldn't possibly buy a car that has a smaller engine than my mobike. It just doesn't seem right.

    10 Most Wanted Electric Car 2019

    My opinion is that they are all shyte.

    Speed limiting technology [Poll]

    I love motorways. 150 on the mobike is another realm, another world, where you feel like that dude piloting the Millenium Falcon ( or whatever ) where just like the stars and galaxies, all other vehicles rush toward you at an alarming rate. Ya don't need video games, but your brakes and tyres...

    Speed limiting technology [Poll]

    Not sure about that. I'd say a vehicle is most efficient in a high gear with engine speeds at maximum torque, not pootling around in 2nd with the damn thing at little more than idling speed. Who gives a toss anyway, this is bordering on tedious climate change crapola again. You've seen these...

    Speed limiting technology [Poll]

    After all these years of completely OTT highway insanity on the bikes, I got busted for doing 54 in a 40 zone. The camera was at the top of a very steep hill and I was braking hard after seeing off some **** in this massive BMW. I paid the then fee of £70 to attend a speed awareness course... 4...

    Speed limiting technology [Poll]

    I'm a hooligan biker and speed limits mean sod-all to me. But get this... I too have a clean license. Luck of the draw, I guess.
