Thanks for the good wishes guys, I appreciate it although for me it is not a day I relish or celebrate anymore as it was my birthday 19 years ago that my mother died at the age of 61.

... today and had a long dinner so spent a good hour in a local gym. Banishing the bus drivers belly. As for bikes, my current ride is staying for years because its like my old STR but more comfortable and faster... MT-10 in black, i think ive finally found "my" bike.

... everything is included. All you pay for is alcohol and branded soft drinks which are duty free anyway. We did the Carribean in December a few years ago on the Carnival Glory. 27 degrees. 14 nights, including flights and a hire car for te first and last days, visiting Mexico, Belize, Honduras, ...

Yep, but not for a few years.

Suffering, this trapped nerve is doing my nut in. Was in so much pain last night ended up calling 111 for advice.

Managed about 2 hours sleep, and am now waiting for a prescription before setting the doc tomorrow.

Used that road for years as a cyclist it's very good

Very little. Need to start earning brownie points for next years bike trip

I use a Knox Aeigis, I picked one up really cheap at the NEC show a few years back coz it was last years model, when I asked the difference between new and old I was told by the knox guy was literally the colour they changed. I really like it, its comfy and ...
