rather than a bar?


I've never encountered an oil filter as stuck as the one i got today... last replaced in 2012 apparently

had to buy a new tool specially for it

Actually can't remember the last time I went out drinking, maybe 7/8yrs ago lol

In a beer tent?

all installed

all good

Reasons to celebrate today.
Royal Wedding or FA Cup. 🤔

Good to be back :)

i find it interesting that uk national debt was on a downward trend from the end of ww2 till 1992, and ever since the creation of the eu in 1993 has been on an upward trend.

Purely coincidental

I also find it interesting that my 106's drivers side door was lying six inches open this morning. I really must start locking it.

I've been listening to Meats braver album this last few days, for the first time in a very long time. And it's a much more enjoyable album than I gave it credit for at the time. I've been starting from track 3 and playing it through. I'm still not a massive fan of the production/mix, but thoroughly enjoyed listening to it.

Bat out of Hell: The Musical is incredible and has taken over my life.

I have been gifted two tickets for a September showing.
How does the experience compare to the previous run?
Any subtle changes or just the same over the top mayhem?!
I

A few changes and down 1 song. The script has been tightened up a bit more. The some minor cast changes but the leads stay the same.

The annual pilgrimage to Download Festival begins tomorrow. 🤘
I shall be wearing a hat this year.

I can visualise you nodding away in your mortar board

What a plonker I am.
My pal is all packed and waiting for me to pick him up for a jaunt to the coast this weekend.
I've only told him the wrong dates!
A day's holiday and two days overtime lost for him.
I'm starting the repair work with a curry next weekend (the wrong one)

Hello all!

Lately I had a blast from the past because I registered in a different forum using the same forum software we have on here. Made me think back of the days and days I spent on here between 2006 and 2010. Makes me somewhat sad too.

Anyway. Post your thoughts this thread says and my thoughts are: I intend to go on a road trip through Kent this September. Dover, Canterbury, Tunbridge Wells, Hastings. Anybody of the lost souls still on here coming from that region? Could use some recommendations where to visit, stay ,eat

i reckon i've seen rain on 4 days tops, since may 6th

alcohol has numbed my back pain rather well, but it hasn't fixed it

and it's now 7 months since i had a dominos pizza... that was an expensive addiction

I really cannot believe the first time I watched the video for More Than You Deserve was approximately five minutes ago.
Shame on me.
But what fantastic comedy it was!

whiskey was a bad idea, sleep is a better idea

and the front end suspension rebuild was going so well till the new wheel bearings need torqued, 300nm, why oh why so high?

i really do think i'm losing my mind

must stop reading psychology today

why do we self sabotage?
and the neuroscience of binge drinking

bit too close to home

and i didn't even notice any barnum statements to draw me in

i haven't decided how to finish this dispute, but when you really don't care what happens

it's quite liberating to no longer give a shit

but maybe i'm just have a breakdown

well, imagine my surprise in the music aisle in tescos, a bay for lps

and the 180g bat out of hell was in it (unpriced unfortunately)

but i never expected to walk into a tescos and be able to purchase bat on vinyl
so that was pretty cool

herniated disc :(

intermittent agony

peter bence is a spectacularly good pianist

is Paris a nice city to visit?

a very pretty city, I enjoyed it.

although the guinness wasn't great, I simply had to try one, and it took a lot of searching to find a bar that sold it!

In my experience not really... But that's based on work trips involving airport, taxi or hire car, La Peripherique, suburban hotel, industrial estate, meetings, taxi or hire car, La Peripherique, and airport. So I could be biased.

i wonder what sell out olly robbins has managed to come up with

It was, like 10 years or so ago. Now it's hard to enjoy it because of the heavy security.
I remember it was easy to walk aroud the Eiffel tower and enjoy the park. Now it's impossible to go there without passing gates and security checks etc.

One thing that hasn't changed though... the waiters are fckng rude.

I did notice a lot of armed police and army about, I even commented as soon as I arrived it was like being back in Belfast in the early 90's... but because I grew up with that, I can honestly say that it didn't bother me, just felt normal.

On other thoughts, I'm not very good at drone flying, I managed to crash the drone 3 times on it's first flight, and on the 2nd flight disaster... crash landed in a neighbours garden.

But I am very impressed with me little B&O speaker, I'm not a particularly a fan of wireless speakers, but this is getting its first test with some live Foy and I'm actually genuinely impressed how good the sound is from something so compact (and streamed).

A good purchase!

i really am losing my mind

i've hated brown shoes all my life, and now i like them

bought a blue suit and a lilac shirt

and i was sober when i bought them

wtf

To reassure you I'm also part of the brown brigade.

capitulation and annexation

if nothing else, it would score well in scrabble.

What an appalling deal

Have you read the document, though?!

I've read bits of it, not all.

(Too busy finishing Adrian Newey's book)

But as with most things Brexit related, I trust the interpretations and understandings of Dr Richard North, a much more knowledgeable person than I.

That'll be the chapter on "how to DUPe the Irish".

no no, I never got that far in

and I've managed to get awfully drunk before todays funeral

JBLethal really seems to have become a bit of a meat loaf fan, he's done lots of reaction videos now.

First ever stay in Dublin over the weekend.
The Irish are so much friendlier than us Brits.

did you enjoy your stay?

Very much so.
Early part Saturday was spent strolling and refuelling around the city and then took in the rugger at Lansdowne Road.
Finally retired half an hour before the first breakfast croissant was available.
So ticked all stag do boxes!

I think I've proven teleportation is possible

cause I went to sleep around 1.30am, verrrrryyyyyyy drunk, in bed and upstairs.
but woke at 4.30am, verrryyyy drunk, and on the sofa downstairs.

and i've no idea how

that was a stunningly great gig tonight

and what a joy to have chip back on drums

superb

Tony and guy rocked Wembley last night with nightwish !!

toni and guy ya mean

I missed the usual bus into town, so took a different route in, and was intrigued to see a pizza place advertising the largest pizza in Ireland.

32.5” pizza

I gotta try one sometime

i've been watching a lot of tyler rosens gnr musical covers

what a talented multi instrumentalist

great videos

would be rather cool if the neverland express did similar ;)

this date, 1 year ago was the last time i'd a dominos pizza

and bar a margeritta in paris, last time i'd a pizza

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas

Merry Christmas

Is there anybody who does not celebrate Christmas?

Yes :)

so i just happened to catch the final of saturday nights pointless quiz show... and I managed to get two pointless answers.

that's a first for me.

another rainy day :(

anyone else's welcome to the neighbourhood lp skip on amnesty is granted?

leading group c in the euro 2020 qualifiers, i never expected to be able to say that!

I like to skip Duke. Skip to the pub

I'm just back from the pub, so probably wasn't the best time to contact someone about a car for sale in london lol

Looks like I'm heading to yorkshire to buy the car

so i've sent money to someone i've never met, or spoken to. to buy a car i haven't seen, other than six photos, in a different country, without finding out where they live, and have booked a flight over...

definitely not how i'd normally buy a 14 year old car from a private seller...

lets hope my gut instincts are good with this one

Gut instincts were great!!

Shame I missed the boat, otherwise it would’ve been perfect

and i must say, they really were a lovely couple, and really looked after me. and Harrogate is a lovely town.

Glad it all worked out Duke. Are you now tearing down the road faster than any other boy has ever gone?

nope, i'm now waiting to see if i've managed to get my first ever speeding ticket...

and sadly, i've no room left, so one of them has to go...
and i know which one has to go
but i can't quite manage to commit myself to letting it go

Just heard on the radio ( the beeb) that council workers raking up leaves in our parks are damaging the climate.

anyone in new york area wed????

I’ve no idea who Ben Shapiro is, but I do think that was Andrew Neil 1, Ben Shapiro 0

what venue was this performance recorded at? Appears to be pro shot, was it for a tv special? And is there more footage available?

Looks like Berlin, Germany ;-)

my thoughts... the NHS are absolutely first class in an emergency

27 days left in the UK. I can't wait to see what's around the corner.

Bat out of hell used on the new EE tv ad :)

there's a whole big wide world out there, have fun getting to explore it

anybody else going to buy a bat 2 blue vinyl lp, now that there's a couple on ebay for almost sensible money?

I move to Texas next week. 😁

So it was the biggest state (!) round the corner.
Good luck.

did my first ever purchase on an eBay auction, and won :)

I'm finally the proud owner of a bat 2 picture disc

What leads you to Texas? :)

how many bat 2 picture discs were made? 7.5k?

its really been a bat 2 week, my blue vinyl version arrived today :)

Anybody heard anything from Zina? Is she ok?

I think it's finally time to replace my amp

Good Luck Seb :cool:

It's a slippery slope

2nd ever auction purchase, bat picture disc

How have I managed with just two Meat Loaf lp's for 25 years, and this year alone... so far, got five??

absolute madness

I don't like cricket
I love it

I like salted caramel hagen daas

I've got optical inputs and a remote control now... otherwise not much has changed going from a '88 amp to a modern one lol

I'm doing my Commercial Pilots Licence 😊

earliest available mot date... october

wtf

I do believe one of the tractors I used to play in as a child, and the first one I remember being allowed to steer up the lane, is now for sale...

must be 30 years since I last saw it

and i'm almost 100% certain that it's the same tractor, much worse condition now of course

must ask my uncle, is that it?

quite some years since i did a 15 hour overnight shift...

the mind held out, but the body is still broken

3 hours sleep in a 39 hour period, no wonder i've a major sleep debt

Texas is hot.

how come dr michael e mann losing his case against dr tim ball hasn't received much media attention?

as a creator of the famous global warming hockey stick graph, (removing the medieval warming period, and little ice age) which has helped define the global warming hysteria, and helped drive government policies on the environment and taxation
