Blimey. That looks like some sort of re-purposed WW2 'V' weapon launch site!

Is that Sam, as in "Sam"? How's he doing? Legend. Has he spent a night in his own bed recently? (That's not meant to sound like it sounds ).

Not quite sure why I got this, it's a little too powerful. Still, the sun's over the yardarm so I'll just have to drink it. Ho hum.

Bet nobody was up Rushmere at that time?

Nobody there when I went past just now either.

Greens. Browns.

Stop encouraging me!

Anyway, Eastwood's a great actor....

(PS. Bet it's good to be back in the saddle.. take it steady..)

Are you expecting it to explode then? :-SS We're up to number FIVE here now! This is a surfeit of cheeriness. Should be saving some up for later really.

He was a right pesimist though. :grin: I like to think that generally Boners are optimists.

We should...

Actually that wasn't quite the word I was thinking of .

Exactly, that's probably the mark of a good cocktail .

Make it four. Just finished Mike Carter's 'One Man And His Bike [round the coastline of the UK]' while crunching my toast. Some good stories and observations, but let's share this little philosophical aphorism shall we, dispensed by the Salcombe ferryman: Actually, the first funny thing was Mike was...

<r>Heard two very cheerful things already today. Then again paradoxically they also made me very annoyed. Then again again, being annoyed can be good because it shows you're engaged.

Pre-brekkie bimble around the local woods. All very golden. Lovely :-). https://www.instagram.com/p/CHglh1blLgl/?igshid=gnc35k1m6euu Very nice. Impressively early bird you are matey!

Durham services isn't that where a Mr D Cummings stopped to fill up his tank? Dunno whether he's northern or southern. Possibly just 'alien'.

My map must be out of date then

That's an overdose of bakeriness there 'Wind - or is such a thing impossible? Ooer JC, you're right. I think your photos there are a 'what happens next?' game. It's Fri 13th... so, yes, DOH! The handle spontaneously cracks off his mug, which then spills tea all over his laptop, destroying it just be...

You mentioned that last week Paul - that punch must be very potent .

Superbly off-the-wall tale there Ben. What a real shame it never happened. "You ain't seen me, right?"

I guess "nice" is somewhat subjective, but at least mine are mainly pretty much at sea-level so at least that'll make a change from all the ones on the roof of the world.... Yeah, but what if they're all in between the "roof of the world" ones on the horizontal plane... /\/\/\/\...

An interesting choice of word. This is BBB .

Wouldn't worry about that Stu, you won't be going anywhere scenic :grin: Oh I wouldn't say that, Stuart has said that Reg can have 4 more Grid Ref's, as Reg promised that they would be nice ones. ...the current ones to date are forming a "nice" 3 day C shaped ride round Bear Bones Towers....

He's a Very Naughty Boy. Good for him. Quite a stunning effort really. Huge cojones.

Stu would be proud of him fortifying himself with a spam fry-up before kayaking across Vyrnwy.

'Mission Across Sutton Park' is the amusing prequel too .

Aye you're probably right. Let's put in an Official Reinstatement Request then, so everything's above board .
