Sorry Shaf, I can't be arsed reading all that ... it looks like a pair of grips, thin grips I'll grant you but aside from that why should I be getting excited? :wink: Absolutely no reason whatsoever :grin: . At £67 for the DIY version, plus the time to fit and the eternally disappointing reminder y...

If I went all out I could get a bin bag full every trip, I'd have a large skip full in a month. And how I'd carry old tryes/sheets of timber/prams/shopping trolleys on the bike I don't know - and these are just the large items I've seen this week :sad: Welcome to Luton, Sean :grin: . A place that p...

Yeah; he looks very different when he's not "in character".

"Sculpture Park" & "Luton Community Art Gallery" :wink:. Very subtle, Reg :lol: . "Since Pete claims he has to Work Hard To Make Ends Meet and that I’m just a Layabout Sponging Off The Rest Of Society...". That is a scurrilous accusation Reginald: I've never claimed...

That advice comes best from someone who's completely unregulated .

thing is tho, we have been speaking to a IFA since the wife retired in early November. and the plan she has given us will work for us how we want it to. it is very low risk, if there is such a thing. minimal notice is needed to get to the funds if we need it, and the return is ok if we dont go mad ...

A very pleasant snowbimble with Reg through the Chilterns to Mentmore and back. We pondered whether our first port of call was the origin of a certain Mr Ledburner, of this parish, before wobbling off into Narnia. Reg excelled himself with a route containing a choice selection of icy, axle-deep pudd...

Is that the analogue version?

About that taking-an-espresso-maker-on-a-bike-ride-thing, I found myself wondering where exactly on the three way spectrum between totally pretentious, just a bit of fun, and very very stylish in an Italian kind of way it really is? I considered that, if it had, I'd just end up with a dry cup, fat ...
