Is she still your girlfriend by any chance?

Not grumpy at all my dear fellow and I perfectly understand your need to rehash your witticisms . Now settle down and calm your nerves , I believe the summer holidays are over and the brats will be back , refreshed and ready to do battle . You'll need all your wits about you .

Sympathy ,

thanks for the tip on oil cami, looks like its due for a change. while were on the subject of being off topic....ipods......is listening to them on a ride a stupid thing to do, or do you all do it? oh and jesus would probably ride a 650 dakar as he lived in the desert. :mchappy:

harleyrider - err, no, not any more. None of them are that I did that with. I decided it might actually have been the contributing factor in the break ups. Although I think going up Hardknott Pass in the Lake District two up with the front wheel mostly in the air didn't go down too well either.

[QUOTE=Caminando;204551]You are right about French sheep - irresistible and easily caught. Strangely attractive too. You can get two in your tent at night.......

Thank heavens you have been able to find yourself some agreeable companionship , I was beginning to worry about you . But is it really wise for you to embark upon a love triangle ?

I'll keep my collie dog [ from Derbyshire ] in check , the poor ode lad didn't take too kindly to you insulting his birthplace , he might slink off and drive away your paramours.

If you do have two sheep in your tent at night, how do you tell them apart in the dark? Smell? Texture?
And what happens if you call one by the wrong name? Does she run off with your wallet and you get fleeced?

Sorry to be pedantic Cam but i had an 'ia' on my Snowdon - that has a lot more than just a railway and a shit cafe! If you choose to define a landscape by its lowest point then all is lost...

Good point Henry -you are quite right (about lowest point etc). I didnt mention any cafe however. But I stand corrected, and willingly take your point.

But the Yamaha -Which one? Not my old XS500 surely? Actually, I quite liked that bike...

Bible quotes, Pints and Sheep
 
Now this has turned into a pub-like conversation :clap:

Not sure what Jesus might ride, but as well as Moses, isn't there a bit in the Book of Genesis about "God looked upon his Triumph and all was well with the world"? Obviously the big guy has a Hinckley and/or knows about some serious oil proof sealants. I doubt God would wany anything with "Lucas, Prince of Darkness" electrics either, so I'm thinking Tiger or Bonneville. :offtopic:

Now imperial liquid measures are just designed to be practical. A pint sits nicely in the hand and you in effect buy it by the glass, there being just enough to drink before it gets too warm. Now what happens with the fantastic metric system? You buy a glass, very big (2L), big (L), Normal (0.5l) or small (200 or 300 CL). What are the glasses? Pints and halves until you hit the litre!! :offtopic:

Menage a trois? Isn't that some sort of Adalucian black pudding?

As for brats in skool, I have good news about that, indeed pure joy, which you will wish to share with me.

He is a Welsh collie .Which are distinct from the Border collies .
And I have instructed him not to interrupt you during the tupping season .
He did indicate that he wasn't impressed with you , most rams can handle 30 to 40 ewes .
But shepherds know that it's best to put a lesser number of old ewes with inexperienced fumbling rams to teach them the ropes .
So I think he understands your dilemma and has promised not to piss on your tent or bite holes in your wellies.
