( Ken) please I am sure your scales must be broke .Anyhow you could always go down the Large suit and Goldwing route and we would still "of course "treat you like one of us !;)

    Bought another bit to repair damage from previous owner's off. Water Pump cover with pump for less than the price of a new cover. I think the Haynes manual may be getting abused over the winter, and before you ask I will mag2grid the red bolts ;)

    I had a game of why aren't the radiators getting hot. Followed by a game of why when I bleed the upstairs radiators nothing comes out after the air stops:, zip; zilch; nada; fick alles. Finally a game of guess which plumber turned off the water feed to the tank and forgot to turn it back on :mad:

    Seen Claire's bike before, seeing it again today has massively increased my wanted list- the bikes got some serious kit on it, really like the rear indicators too.

    Shame I didn't get a picture of two lads that stood staring at Nutty's for a good 15 minutes, don't think they could move with the lob on they had!

    Yup there were 5 of us ... great day and a decent pace .... a few squirrely moments on the way back on the wet roads and white lines
    Certainly keeps the mind focused :p
    Dave's GP shifter is the nads ... left hand away from the clutch , straight through the gears . It didn't matter if he was pulling
    2000 revs or more like 6000 it just got on with it :) I gotta get me one of those [​IMG]

    A fair few pints of Belgium premium beer in the Lowlander, Central London then off for a Chinese at the floating restaurant in Docklands washed down with copious amounts of wine, a freezing cold First Crapital Connect train back out of town and a huge taxi fare back from the station. Looking forward to the mornings hangover, but hey, I have worked hard all evening for it.

    Got fed up with being a fat b*****d and so signed up for two Cycling Sportives next year. Best I get my fat ar$e out training or I will look a bigger git then I normally do, either that or say goodbye to a fair few beer tokens in fees.

    Today I sat down with the kids and played with play doh that some horrible person gave them for their birthday on sat, I then realised that they were sat in the lounge watching cartoons and the mrs confirmed I had prob been sat out there by myself playing for at least an hour.
    How embarrassing!

    I'm around 13.5 at the moment, about two stone heavier than I was when we were in Scotland. Gone from a 32 to 36plus waist

    Bloody expensive this putting on weight, got to get it off before I'm left with no option than to buy loads of new cloths and leathers. I aslo need stuff for the bike to cheer me up as it's getting me really down. ;)

    Second thoughts, great new strategy as my "blame the mate" tactics have worn thin.

    Realistically I need to drop 2 stone, not sure how I will cope with xmas :( Will be doing road sportives, first is 38 miles in march and then 50 miles in June. I want to be able to do average at least 15mph which should be doable as they are in Newmarket and Grantham.
