  1. Thanks that was the link. Don't know why it didn't open.
  2. https://twitter.com/doctor_oxford/status/1571787709047345152 Thinking of those who have found the last eleven days difficult.
  3. Funny. It wasn't always the case though at least food wise it wasn't. Sanitary arrangements? They're another matter altogether. You'd hear claims of people getting decent quality 3 course lunches/dinners with wine in French service stations not so long ago.
  4. Don’t get anywhere with kids
  5. And Aaron Ramsey's Welsh
  6. 😂 Loving the irony!
  7. Indeed, It strikes me that there is a time to wind your neck in, and this is one of those.
  8. There's some decidedly dodgy bad taste stuff, particularly on Twitter. Kevin Bridges hasn't covered himself in glory either. As for Shamrock Rovers fans?
  9. Like a number on here I’m no royalist but hope any subsequent comments posted on here are respectful.
  10. Hassan Kachloul
  11. Two of the best quotes. "She’s going to make Theresa May look like Stephen Hawking." “She will be the only world leader who could go and sit with President Biden and bring the average brain power in the room down.”
  12. Ref chickened out
  13. Win a game and we’re challenging for Europe, lose a game and we are relegation fodder. Kin ell a sense of perspective and all that!
  14. That was a hell of a take from the long ball.
  15. Enjoy your holiday and best of luck with the new job
  16. Ahead of the game here. Got one on order that has a petrol engine which acts as a generator. Wheels always driven by battery. No plugging in needed. Drives like an EV throughout, he says reaching new levels of smugness! Seriously though, I know a few people in the motor trade who work for the likes of Honda, Jaguar/Land Rover dealerships who reckon that hydrogen cell tech is more likely the way forward than EVs in the future.
  17. I’ve got a couple of trips booked next year to places I’ve not been before. First is to Belgium in March, ostensibly a cycling trip based in and around Ieper. Watching a couple of Spring Classics (E3 Saxo Bank Classic, Gent-Wevelgem)and doing a bit of the WW1 battlefields. By all accounts Flanders Week can be a beery one. Second one is to the Bourg St Maurice area of the French Alps in the summer. There’s something of a weird charm about ski resorts out of season just as there are coastal resorts. Riding up and down mountain roads for ‘fun’. Done Bourg d’Oisans area and Maurienne valley in the past. This time it’ll be Petit St Bernard, Col d’Iseran, Cormet de Roseland and then there’s La Plagne, Tignes etc all nearby.
  18. Read recently that there is quite a lot of push back in Norway towards the cruise industry. I suppose you can have too much of a good thing. Not sure about cruising to be honest. It seems an ideal solution as a now solo traveller. That said I've booked two weeks next year to Kefalonia. I'm taking my daughter and her husband for a week and I'm having my first go at holidaying on my own for the second. On a more serious note we're also taking my wife's ashes there as we spent our honeymoon in Kefalonia back in the eighties. https://www.newsinenglish.no/2018/10/24/calls-rise-to-limit-cruiseship-arrivals/
  19. That’s so sad. One of the very best Saints. RIP Dave
  20. Reading some of the comments on social media that accompanied this made me laugh. With each bike sale the purchaser has to buy a high viz tabard with a number plate on the back that is visible a all times. Another was selling GPS training thingies that make blokes look like they’re in bras. Use them to track speeding cyclists. Then there’s the old get them to pay road tax, which I believe went out in 1937. Why don’t people get that VED is based currently on emissions so cyclists like EVs are exempt. Right I’m off out to pretend I’m riding in the Vuelta in my Lycra. I’ll jump a few red lights on the way and generally cycle like a twat just to fulfil the lame stereotype
  21. Finally a happy Saint
  22. Red Cafe is a fucking hoot atm.
