Is that screen grab from Crimewatch?


LOL.

Not me squire, long time since I was there, late 1950s from memory. And, my white trainers are ...

I was away at Potters last week, but since I came home I have had bad (but not severe) pains in knees and big toe, could be gout ? It has made walking difficult, even indoors.

Must admit I had a few beers whilst away, so that probably didn't help. :wink:

Sorry to hear your news Ray, but you seem ...

Me, I read a book once where the main character liked the odd spliff and so much appeared to improve - marvelous!

That made me laugh.

Although I never had a date for my changeover it has been put back. Date unknown.

They are changing me to full fibre (at no cost), but the speed will not change from my current 75 MBPS. Also ,I requested a phone adaptor but they sent me two, just in case.

Ah, my scrambles bike is a TriBSA with an A10 frame and 650 pre-unit Triumph motor. BSA gearbox and Ariel swinging arm. Forks are Norton roadholders with Betor internals.

This is the "heap" that's rusting away, totally unloved in my damp garage, sad to say. :oops:

No doubt it will be sold as a ...
