boydeste Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) Had a huge fish in the night. Was freezing but managed to deal with it and warm back up in my sleeping bag. Just enjoying the sun as it tries to warm the day up whilst drinking the first cup of tea of the day. Edited May 8, 2022 by boydeste 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortgage required. 😄 LOL I know, but never say never!. 900R A1's are still out there though, but going up in price. Just looked at a 750 Turbo on Ebay, now for a bike that was never that well liked when it came out, they're fetching some serious dollar. Yet another dream shattered ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good gig mate, mixture of songs over his career. Played the well known songs like 'Cars' and 'We Are Glass' near the end. Last song was 'Are Friends Electric'. Got Geoff Tate on Wednesday at Camden Underworld,then Quireboys are doing a set with an orchestra at Kentish Town Forum on the 21st. After that is a poison and Motley Crue tribute band night at Sub89 in Reading in July. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything old is overpriced by most people. Saw a CX500 for nearly ten grand recently,a fucking despatch bike!!. You can still pick up old VFR750 and ZX-9R for sensible money if you look around. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just recently sacked their singer as apparently he was missing gig's due to his other projects. Saw them live at the same venue just before the first lockdown. Good live band. Got the tickets for free as I'm a previous customer of HRH, so always get offered free tickets. Been to a few free ones in the past. Just costs £5 booking fee.

What do you do, set your lure out before you go to bed and attach a bell to the rod, or some such thing? You're a dedicated man, lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No difference over here - people are asking absurd prices for anything used these days, whether they are "collectible" or not - gonna test the market myself soon with some machinery I'm not using anymore, maybe I'll even make some money on it.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Dangleberries Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Just back from a 2 hour walk. I didn't want to do it. When I got home I felt no pleasure, no euphoric high, no interest in doing it again tomorrow. Such is the advantage of routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody says it is good for me but I would rather sit on my backside at home but the same person says that is not good for me. The mirror seems to notice a difference though so maybe I need to keep at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then of course that is only the start of your problem, the huge fish I target scrap like f**k and it can take the best part of an hour to subdue them. Lots of patience and skill involved again! Both of my two big fish so far this trip have come from a trap set at 250 yards. That's a long way to control and land a big fish from! Plus the German beer here isn't as bad as the French stuff. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a matter of interest, how big is a carp's brain. And no, I'm not a crusader for carp lives matter. I think they're disgusting creatures along with the disgusting creatures that let them loose in Australian waterways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post galenkia Posted May 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2022 Just back from the first session at the gym. Blimey, didn't realise how unfit I've become. Thought I'd warm up with the stairclimber,ten minutes and I thought I was gonna have a heart attack lol. So moved on to the running machine and did 45 minutes brisk walking on a slope. Don't take long to get your fitness back, and I'm gonna do an hour a day, every day. Good thing about my shift pattern is I can avoid the peak times when it's busy 🙂 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
