SteveT

He might be partially deaf, hence the loudness and the inability to hear you when you ring the bell or knock the door.

Your quick witticism DavidC seems to have gone unheeded, but it made me smile.

LOL:))

He is pompous and arrogant and if he makes a mistake using the driver he always curses the photographers as if they have put him off his swing. I think he married a viking not a Swede, she seems more than ready to fight her corner, and when the divorce comes she will no doubt be looking for large quantities of 'Danegeld'.

I am impressed SimonM that is the first time I ever knew what it meant. Good man.

Lidl sell cycling shoes and clothing spasmodically. Some weeks its walking gear but it is all reasonably priced so not a big deal if he chooses not to wear what you buy.

If he carries anything at all then like Greg1 said a saddle bag, to keep the weight on the bike. Bags on the back were only for food to stop 'hunger knock' on long journeys. For maintenance, hire mlteenie for an hour for a training session, and he can point out the most useful tools, lubricants, saddles, extensions for comfortable riding position etc.

It's about avoiding trouble.

When his wife tried to break in to the vehicle using the driver or wood, I was quite heartened by that as it showed she displayed interest in her husbands working life.

When bus lanes were first introduced, bicycles and motorbikes were allowed to use them, and I did not realise this right had been revoked. When did this happen and why?

I remember some psuedo-latin quotes from my mis-spent youth... Nil desperandum carborundum illegitimo = don't let the bar studs grind you down. Non seductress asbestos = F&?k you I'm fireproof. The only Latin song I remember at school started:- Gaudi our mus igitor juveness dom suomuss.... I never understood a word but enjoyed the tune and singing those weird lyrics in a monkey hear, monkey sing, fashion. Apologies to all the studious ones reading this who recognise the lamentable phonetic style, Latin mis-spelling.

When you use the frying pan method it works better with a lid.

Where does he get his evidence from? Is it accurate? If it comes from a reliable source of police or government figures then it is irrefutable.

An engine?

Yes David, you may be able to spell it, but unless you are more potent than France, USA, and China, you would not be capable of conquering her.

If that is the true formula David, you may inadvertently, have enlightened the wrong types, but I am amazed at your varied knowledge, I think you may be a challenge to Hal9000.

Yes! Eating vegans reduces climate change.

They did my place a few years ago and left me without gas heating and hot water over Christmas and had my 2 sisters and brother plus two spouses and 2 daughters. Yes a very cosy all in one room sort of Christmas, the whole house was freezing cold, inspite of global warming. Hope you have better luck with them than I did.

"Disband The Judiciary" might help on the back of that T-shirt GG.

Paint "This is being watched by an ex SAS sniper" on it. There is a water-proof sheet you can get from Screwfix which has eyelets about 20 quid last time I bought one. Thieving swine, we would be allowed to chop a trotter off in the world of SteveT!

Insulate the house with it, possibly?

Damn! I did not realise they were going so soon, I would have offered him a tenner for that 50millimetre machine gun, and risked being done.

Perhaps we can make a better job of it in future Sean, I am forever optimistic.

It's probably a generational thing Sean, I'm of the generation where people of my age think that the ne'erdowells should get there just deserts. Ideally it should be seen to be done too. If people behave like animals, they should be put down like animals, then they will no longer behave like animals.
