  3. Prompted by a different post about Fowlers Bristol parts dept by @comfysofa I looked at what they've got...

    I use this Silkoline 10W-40 oil in my R1200S Beemer and they've got 5litres for the 4l price (comparable with Opie 4litres) so I clicked & collected...

    Something a bit odd about Fowlers now is that they've gone all-out with their KTM presence. Clothing (including babies!), paddock/BBQ seats seats, bags, gimmicks and all the bikes.
     
  4. I'm hanging on until Summer for a purchase.

  6. Commision must have increased!
     
  7. Sounds like you're getting there, you can put on your jacket by yourself -soon you will be able to tie your own shoe laces! Not too sure about turning down nurses who want you in a specific position though...

  8. These were almost half price in a sale so I went for it. They are just Engineer boots like I always used to wear for day to day riding, I got sick of race wellies that you can’t walk around in comfortably when you get off the bike.

  9. Congratulations; with one photograph you've managed to elicit something from Mrs GG that I haven't in 38 years... sympathy. She normally performs the role of "person taking the piss".

    She also sympathises with you over the X-rays, as someone who managed to break her humerus in 4 places.

    What's the secret? :thinkingface:

  14. Had this done on my other arm back in September...............I know it's a "heart attack survivor" tattoo but a "cardiac arrest tattoo" would have been boring as it'd have just been a straight line :joy:

  15. I had a Microsoft Teams meeting with my solicitor/trustee and that prompted me to log into my Cater Allen account to check that I still could - on a new computer and having not done so for ages. Got in eventually and there is over half a million in there, so that's fine. I will have to put in some requests soon, as we agreed for me to withdraw £5000 and there will be a legal bill to pay, when it comes.

    If I stick to under £4000, I could easily get something else, like maybe a new Beeza!

    But, of much greater importance, I made the mistake of ordering Tanqueray from Amazon. They have been trying to deliver it for days, but unlike normal deliveries where stuff is left in my summerhouse,, they want to check that I am over 18. I think that Amazon are wrong about this. You have to be over eighteen to buy it, but not physically receive it. If I buy booze at the supermarket, nobody runs out to my car in order to check that I put it in my car and not give it to a kid. Nobody follows me home to check that there are no kids waiting for the booze and nor do they stick around for days until I open the bottle! You have to over eighteen to buy, but after that, it is nobody else's business. I will never buy booze from Amazon again. I was only in because I had to be in for this Teams call, otherwise I'd be out, like I was for the last two deliver attempts. It is good stuff, but I will bever buy it again from Amazon!

  16. Bought my rail ticket to Plymouth. And it was unexpectedly cheap!

    Journey: 1 Cam & Dursley to Plymouth @ £66.50
    Off-Peak Return £66.50 (1 @ £66.50)
    With 1 Senior Railcard railcard(s)
    Remember to bring the railcard(s) for the journey

    If I was to drive there, I reckon the fuel could cost more!

    Changed the battery on my G Shock. Cost, 35p and 3.5 minutes of my time, compared to £59 and 4 weeks if I’d entrusted it to those chiseling cunts on the High Street. :D

  18. Sat in the dentist's chair for 45 minutes whilst he removed an old filling from a broken tooth and then reconstructed the tooth with a modern composite, built up in layers with a bonding medium between each layer. Just got to wait and see if it lasts or I have to have a crown. Replacing the second of 2 cracked fillings and replacing a botched filling by a previous dentist, to go in a fortnight. Andy
