    Well, 2021 can FRO.

    To cap off a complete COAY, today I had a message that one of my oldest and dearest friends finally passed away this morning. He was an utterly delightful gentleman, and while his death is not a surprise, nor even sad given his health, it’s still made me cry my eyes out this afternoon.

    Pinno and his brake cleaner hissy fit can just f^ck off and shut up.

    Really sorry to hear this WS. Most of what anyone can say always sounds trite but it seems like there’s a lot of good memories there. I hope these bring a little comfort.

    It's not a hissy, it's just a forum WS and mainly this place is about banter and off topic stuff but I do not think that being called a fuckingtwat is justified.

    I have a very good friend whom I have known since 1988 and he lost his wife to cancer just 3 days before Christmas. I can't go to the funeral because it's going to be packed with people and that leaves me and my dodgy immune system susceptible.
    I also was told just yesterday (and i'll name him) that my good friend Bill McFadden passed away. Though he did have a good innings. He held 9 world records in 7 different disciplines at one time from Bench pressing to dead lifts.

    Here he is:

    None of the above has anything to do with the 'hissy fit'. I am not expecting sympathy or condolences either. It's been another tough year for many.
    So I agree with you - 2021 can just fro.

    Goodwill to all I say but not insults.




    It’s been a #propershityear all round Pinno. I share your sentiments about it. #solidarity

    Shorty did a painting by numbers picture that she got for Christmas. I'm rather proud of her:

    It’s a painting by numbers picture, seano. Pay attention - it was right there in the post
    Of what?
    the eiffel tower?
    Ahh, I can see it now, Eiffel Tower at sunset. It’s a bit out there but I like it 👍

    WS and Pinno - sorry for your loss :(

    Let's hope we all have better 2022s (which might not actually be that difficult...)

    Best wishes WS.

    Been avoiding the internet handbag swinging by getting in the last ride of the year, barring some anomaly in the space time continuum. Clarty McClartface throughout, very Lionel all the way. But good as ever for the mental state. Lots of people out, bikelists, runnists, walkists and even some horseists. Everybody friendly.

    On the way back into town, the traffic queues were epic. Quick, quick we must stock up on oh everything as the shops will be closed tomorrow. For one day.

    I need to venture to an edge of town one for the pharmacy, and rummage for any best-before bargains. Oh, and some hefe weissebier. And and... join that queue.

    Thank you but my post was intended to simply underline that it has been a tough year for many but we can still have some fun.
    Never look back unless you can smile, never look forward unless you can dream*.

    *Insert where applicable:
    unless you can bonk
    unless there's bubbly
    unless there's something to smash up and set alight
    unless there's traffic lights, 3, 2, 1 go...
    unless there's a shed to build
    unless there is beer
    unless there's glaring wrong doings in everything to fix and highlight and moralise (RC)
    unless there is food
    unless there is bushes and trees to plant
    unless there's a foggy, wet, muddy hill to climb
    unless there's a heap of marking to do
    unless you are told you're going to get your own office
    unless there is a conspiracy to unearth
    unless there's a VW golf to de tune for megabucks and then call it a twin turbo Lambo

    Unless your going to retire. Like LD

    Glad I did, from what i've heard from my old workplace, it's been a sod with covid.

    But I must say, I was expecting a bit more from retirement than following the latest edicts from the bouffant twunt,.


    The older I get, the better I was.

    Evening folks,
    Blimey, didn't mean to light the blue touch paper and call anybody names. I did well there for no effort, as the MFs noted I was merely telling them not to be tw@s.
    Been another long day of sorting through the old man's stuff at the house. I now have a stack about 3' high of posters and prints in the back of the car to go to a charity shop. Several hundred books to follow. That's only one room done. We still have all the artwork he did in there. Then there's the rest of the house.
    Sorry for your losses chaps, it's never easy even when it's expected. As has been mentioned it's been a dreadful year all round. Let's hope next year gets better, although I suspect it's going to be a bumpy start. Have a good evening everyone.
    Oh, nearly forgot TLW and his test result. Did the MFs tell you to wankitout? You'll have plenty of time on your hands so I hope the internet connection can cope.

    He won't be asymptomatic with a C- U- N- T- that's serious.

    It's clear as mud.
    You have got it but it might be a false positive, so you might not have it.
    You haven't got it but it could be a false negative so you might have it.
