    Can't remember the title, but does anyone remeber a kids TV show where the main character's dad was played by Roger Daltrey as an ageing, racist teddy boy? I think it was written and prodcued by Nigel Farage before he got into politics.

    Cheers. The sound on that transfer is appaling!

    Yes, I totally wanted one too. And his slightly weird denim jacket. NOTE: I was about 8.

    Are you going to 'teach Garry H a lesson' SecretSam? What had you got in mind? Are you selling tickets?

    I'm from Bristol, which is clearly not in Wales. You're not getting off that easily. I'm gonna duff you up.

    Ahh, ok. I like Bristol, I'll let you off the hook. They don't half talk funny though :wink:

    That explains a lot. I am a much travelled man and I's been all over the world: Bodmin. St Agnes, Tregadillett, Exeter. I's even been to Cinderford - way up in the North. I still have my anus and i'm alive. Now the point of the matter.... I don't know what the point of the matter is... I's forgotten. Hell, reminds me of that fire in St Agnes model Village. Flames could be seen from 3 feet away. My friend took his driving test and the drivin' instruttor said "Can you make a U turn?" and he said "If you gave me a pair of Wellington's, I could make her eyes water".
    So there's not much difference in the people really...

    I'll be releasing a book soon. Be sure to buy a copy.

    Yoo's from Brissle mrfb?! :roll:

    You're not making this any easier for yourself, you know. Now various family members, lots of football fans, and a few celebrities are going to join in. Better make your will. We're gonna rearrange all your bits :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :lol::lol::lol:

    Went to a nightclub in Bristol once, after watching Wales beat someone at the Millenium Stadium. Luckily i was completely sozzled and don't quite remember anything, other than walking into a kebab shop window on the way home. Good times!

    3's company. So what you at? What have you been doing on your day off ffs? :roll:
    I went for a pedal. It was frikkin cold.

    1 x vest.
    1 x Le Col winter tights
    1 x merino base layer
    1. x HH Freeze
    1 x SS jersey
    1 x Espresso.

    [In no particular order]

    Put on my new fancy pants 'Le Col' tights with pad. Now I am very sexy wiz my Le Col pants. Except it might have been good for a fat bloke who had eaten all the pies and "good for -28 deg c" but for me, it wasn't. So I reversed the above procedure and put my Endura Roubaix on top of le Le Col and added 2 pairs of socks and neoprene overshoes and glove liners and glove outers and skull cap and lined woolly hat. 2 hours later, I was... out on my bike and just about comfortable.

    Actually, this map shows them as 'Native Britons' down the West Coast. So the Welsh are 'more British' than the English???

    And the Scots are from Ireland, so have little claim to all but a tiny bit of Scotland - certainly not North Sea Oil...!

    I went to a nightclub in Bristol a couple of weeks ago, to watch a live Rock band. It was on a Russion Cargo ship...!

    Dropped car off for MOT this morn.
    Went for a quick ride (Rapha Pro Team Jacket, Sportful Gilet, Merino Baselayer, Assos Airjack 851 Tights, Brooks Saddle).
    Chopped logs
    Messed about in house with Cat (It likes porridge :? )
    Went to pick up car. 90 quid for MOT and service, nothing need done. Good old Toe Yo Tah!
    Lots of snow now.
    Fire lit.
    Evening of nothing other than talking bollox on here.

    I had my squeaky brakes fixed. £36. No parts needed, just an adjust and scrub. No longer embarrased about braking (car btw)

    Now you're talking garry. I loved the theme tune as a kid and the pretty blond had an effect on me but I was too young to know why. Years after I was convinced she was Heather Locklear but was completely wrong of course.
