Nice one, bit different. You could have taken a bunch of daffs for your truckers caff table, that would have baffled them. Reminds me of the time eleven of us spent a WRT night on the verge of the A44 outside the George Borrow at Ponterwyd. I reckon my left ear was actually touching the tarmac :smil...

Well thank you for your esteemed company on many of them

Here's to the next hundred

Heellllppp!

Aye it was a real headline from last year! You can see why I was mildly concerned about my bike. Although I don't think Tunstallies go as far as murdering bikes....

What a guy, astounding. A lesson in tenacity, fortitude, and winging it. Quite bonkers too of course .

Congratulations Reg :-bd Sounds like the celebration distilled all the elements of your inimitable style down into one trip :grin: the middle of Stoke… I believe from The Influencers that that's what we're all aiming for, so congrats on that :wink: This influencer? "Tunstall TikTok influencer ...

“Nice one Centurion, like it, like it!” (dungeon prisoner, Life Of Brian). Or is it centenarian? No, that’s not right. Anyway, whatever, 100 Bivvy a Months in a row then.

Reg I went to the Nijmegen and Arnham gigs. Looking to see where they are in 2025 as Gigpacking in the Netherlands rules above all else.

Aye, good stuff. Sadly no UK dates though

they are West Ham supporters so can do one.

Ta Scott, noted! It was "convenience or death" that I don't like either of the sound of :smile: . Having been gigpacking this weekend (of which more shortly round in Trips), I have this on while I'm typing. Didn't you go Dave? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TY50hQx8_xE Intriguing: "A...

Just partaken of a pleasant luncheon. Chatted with my pal at the Council about how he's going to spend the £1m we managed to wangle for new cycleways and footpaths around the town, so that was nice. Based on the rates for HS2 I'd estimate that £1M will be enough to construct nearly 12m of new cycle...

Blimey, that takes me back. Databases tended to be abnormal after I'd finished fiddling with them though ..

Seems to be that day again then. Just partaken of a pleasant luncheon.

Yep, well remember it Kev. It was refreshing to see the German commandant and guards portrayed in a, for want of a better word, sympathetic way. Anthony Valentine was suitably chilling though! Strange to think the situation was only 80 years ago.

I fancy injecting a good old-fashioned BBB digression in here. I reckon the "lower temperature causes mat to deflate" story is similar to the "hot drink warms you up for bed" story. I'm not convinced by either. "Adding a hot liquid to your body does increase your body temper...

For no reason at all, the great Roy Wood of Wizzard and The Move fame.

Top report as usual Sean. Enjoyed all the little factoids and stories. That hide was pretty cosy for two .

Especially when Meta's carbon footprint running various social media platforms is massive. "According to Greenspector, there were 4.33bn social media users globally in May 2021. Across the 10 social media platforms the company looked at, their combined use adds up to 262m tonnes CO2e. That’s 0...
