  1. It’s never too late for anything mate although admittedly the Bike Test is a mine field these days, treat yourself get yourself a sidecar for that big dog of yours lol..?.
  2. I used to go to that show I remember Suzi Quatro headlining down on Romney Marsh, I’ve still got a 1989 Chopper badge on an old jean jacket in my wardrobe of that particular show but I used to go in the early days where they used to hold it at an half way house in a field it was wild in those days things that went on were great ?.
  3. I’ve pushed it too 135 on occasions but still more in it but Ducati Monsters are not about speed it’s the mental acceleration from go and the frenzy of noise and that amazing frame that enables them to out handle many a big jap inline four cylinder, here’s the clutch side of the bike it makes a good old rattle.
  4. No it’s just pleasure I do about a 1000 ish miles a year on it it’s a Monster 1000cc.
  5. I’ve been around Motorcycles all my life I was a courier for 15 years doing 90000 miles a year just pleasure now, but there was a point in my life everyone I new and associated with was a biker could have easily have got involved in the patch thing but I’m my own man and do my own thing. Heres a pic of my current ride which I’ve owned for about 7 years now straight through carbon pipes open dry clutch and an open air box it’s an extremely noisy f****r lol....
  6. Fantastic pictures Keith of your dogs doing what they were bred for, I love that one of the ferret sharing dinner my Patterdale would never entertained that unfortunately the ferret would have been the desert lol...
  7. Who remembers this crazy stuff they done a Red and Blue label if I remember Red was the one to get hammered I used to walk about as a youngster with the Ready Brek glow lol....
  8. I think Arrys nailed it in the words of Frank nice one Arry ?. Heres a link to a nice little site which helps identify trees. https://treegrowing.tcv.org.uk/identify/wild-cherry
  9. On 12 hour shifts all weekend waiting for incidents to happen that never did continuously pushing the try again button, devastated doesn’t even nearly capture the loss I was feeling I missed my imaginary friends lol.... ?
  10. I’m getting a direct link to general talk on an iPad when I hit forums it just goes to a white page with nothing, it’s been playing up for around about two weeks but today’s been the worse day.
  11. Keith your not pathetic and your not rambling your grieving hang in there mate there’s a lot of people on here who have got your back, and this forum is a good outlet to get things off your chest talking about stuff is a positive step imagine if you bottled things up it would be a thousand times worse, enjoy your grub at this unearthly hour I’m up too not by choice though get yourself out for a walk today it will do you good.
  12. Got to say if I was stuck on a desert island with anyone off of here we wouldn’t starve lol some really impressive food pics keep em coming lads I love it.
  13. Mixed emotions about today’s Brisket adventure it was nice but I cooked it for 7 hours expecting it to be super soft and tender but I think for the size of the cut I smoked I should have smoked it for less time still a nice bark crust and my smoke halo was evident but next time less time in the smoker.
  14. Kanny mate I never put an egg in boiling water I use an old fashioned egg poacher the plastic egg holders I heavily grease with butter then drop my eggs in and then I put the water in the bottom not too much as you don’t want it to boil over onto the eggs then I gently simmer not to fast as they go hard and then they have to pass my wobble test a little shake and I know they are ready then they just fall out as you see them in the pics, my sons have been trying to beat me at making them like this for years but there dad still kicks there arses lol...
  15. It’s a Great bit of kit Odin you can use it as a BBQ you can hang meat in and you can do two cooks at the same time as it has two grills and there’s a water pan as big as a washing up bowl that permeates moisture into the meat, half way through the cook I will put Whisky chips in there and that gives good flavour and a nice smoke Halo on the meat here’s a couple of pics of last year some Beef Ribs see the halo lol I love it. I’d invite you all for tea but you would all eat and drink me out of house and home lol...
  16. Here’s the smoker waiting for a 7 hour cook up tomorrow. Nice Nice bit of Brisket I will get at least 3 cooks out of this. Here’s a piece covered in my home made rub ready for an early start in the smoker in the morning. The Bark on this will be amazing can’t wait I will put up some pics when it’s done.
  17. The day started off good with a breakfast of champions avocado on a bed of aromatic salad with a nice poached egg. Then this afternoon a little BBQ for me and the wife waiting for the big one tomorrow I’ve got a nice bit of brisket covered in a home made rub waiting to go in my smoker. Loving the good weather while it lasts.
  18. Yes... I’m a shift worker and I’ve seen people die in the middle of the night but you can’t report a death for a few bragging rights, Every one knows on here Socks is the Chief death reporter AKA grim reaper keep up the good work. A bit like Katchum is Chief piss taker and wind up merchant ?.
  19. That’s the trouble it’s not Black and White and it should be, I believe if I was to go out and got pulled which to be honest is unlikely it’s then at the discretion of the officer making the challenge as to why you are out, every officer will have a different perspective, it’s just not worth the hassle to be honest, I can understand how you feel and every individual has to make their own choices hence why I don’t get involved in the criticism of people who do go out.
  20. I sent an email to my Firearms licensing asking if they could confirm if it is ok to shoot pests alone whilst protecting crops and this was the reply I got.
  21. Same here white page showing error on iPad saying too many users, or is it the kitchen sinks censorship on what we read........ ?
  22. I’m a Mobile Operations Manager dreading it if I have to de-train or something similar I’ll have to get my gimp suit out ?.
  23. Baker Boy I take it you work for the Railway, I was sent an email from work minutes after Boris made his speech saying I must attend work as I am a key worker I work in operations response.
