Tested that there new 'Twin Cheeks' (or Professor Plums as Stu might call it) saddle. No more razor blades for me from now on, thank you. It's excellent. No sore 'bits' at all and very comfy, as I suppose you'd expect when your sit-bones are, well, sitting rather than perching like they have done wi...

Can I have your autograph please Tim? As a sort of second-best for not having Locky's? Met him eh, you lucky booger.

Been watching some of his stuff too, brilliant memories. One that had me crying tears of laughter was the 'Carrot in a Box' competition; simple, obvious but brilliant :lol: :lol: Only just discovered that 'carrot' and 'w&nk' were in the same episode! Along with his greatest achievement in life ...

Yep, pic please. Talking of exits (sorry Stu, I've turned it back :smile: . You'll have to restart the ball again now :lol: ), Sean Lock's sad early departure has left us the poorer. Superb off-the-wall humourist. Brilliant shock-and-awe lines. A bit like Frankie Boyle but Sean's shocks were much mo...

Good thing to share :-bd IMO better to talk about death than hide it away behind flowery language and metaphorical net curtains. :-bd Also good to inject some humour, unless it was a bad exit. Even then... hmm... Anyway, no Bach's Toccata and Fugue at my send-off please, Entry Of The Clowns for Reg...

November. You lot are all crackers and one salutes your Bonerness.

Second I was strangely privileged to be part of a community That privilege has now been passed on to us, your BBB neighbours (or indeed, perhaps stretching the point, family - we've said it before). It is our privilege that you've chosen to share it with us. A little part of me has been affected an...

.... with the next ridiculous experiment in the ongoing saddle saga. Smaller than I expected which is good. Remember with this one the two "halves" can be adjusted sideways depending on how commodious your rear is! Will report back once tested. The previous attempt certainly stopped all ru...

161, it's a good map Reg. Oh, it might also be mentioned that apparently we will be following what I believe is known as 'a route', due to certain constraints which may become clear in the fullness of time. It's been explained to me what 'a route' is. I'm not sure I fully understand the concept, an...

The farmers are looking forward to your visit Reg, apparently it has been quite a dry year so far and they need some rain... :wink: Perhaps you could reassure them by sending a link to the ridiculous caper that your good self, MaM, Pickers and Reg 'enjoyed' at exactly this time two or three years a...

It certainly is. Peter mentions farmers, but I'm sure you will have already sussed that being Reg & Co we'll be visiting bits of that map where we're most unlikely to be troubling any farmers .

... with OS LR 148 and 161 from dash4it for an upcoming jape with some esteemed residents of this parish....

But surely you'd end up with purple feet then, which would be even harder to explain to the missus than a purple tongue? Unless you'd also just been on a Winter Bivvy and got frostbite.

Or did you mean to type "Phil, yer boots"?

For a 101-year old you'd probably want to uprate it a notch or two over average .

Don't partake of drinkypoos Sun-Thu unless I'm bivvying. Or unless I'm forced to like when my lad happens to be home for a while and buys me this. Not sure what it says about his taste or what he thinks my taste is. White choc and raspberry milkshake is presumably what he thinks. If I have to drink ...

.... various Toy Dolls live stuff, in preparation for their LIVE gig at Kentish Town in one month's time. Wonder what the entrance checks will be. Mr Barter angling for last-minute tickets perchance?

Very good in the time allowed

This one is much better, it uses 4 swear words instead. Not for the easily offended: https://www.fourkingmaps.co.uk/ Oh my sweet God, by the Babee Jeebuz, that is funny. I am sure the older I get, the more puerile I become, but I've been checking out the locations or certain individuals in my life ...

One also has to remember the Bearbonesnorm Postulate: None Of It Matters And Nobody Else Gives A Monkeys. That can bring you down with a slightly self-deflating bump but can bring a sense of perspective to things as well. Do what feels good and right to you and nobody else at the time and best of lu...

Actually the CTBVBTC and STVFE scales can be combined by putting one perpendicular to the other, crossing at the midpoints (*). Let's say CTBVBTC is the X axis and STVFE is the Y axis. You can therefore work out the XY coordinates that fit best to your health/abilities/philosophy/aims/lunacy/etc. It...

Bit more, sorry: Talking of the camp/bike CTBVBTC Scale, mustn't forget the tramp/race scale too. Working out a suitable personal position on that scale may help as well. The full name of the scale is of course the Smelly Tramp V Fragrant Enduroracer Scale. It also has infinitely variable positionin...

And what are these 'Welsh bridleways' that actually exist in this dimension at all?
