Panorama on NEETS- I wish I had seen that. Panorama usually passes me by, don't know why exactly, it's usually very good.

Cycling- well done Mathos. I have been using my bike a lot lately, for shopping and all. I'm getting a bit fitter. Will do some longer rides before the worst of the winter.

Spendy- what in tarnation was that? Caribbean, or Irish?



Good on you Mac. It was hard work a few few weeks back when I first started, but it's bloody good fun now. I'll miss the grandsons now they are back at school though, especially the older one of the two with me today, he's fourteen and we have covered a lot of miles together the last few weeks.


Yep, I bought a couple of lights on Saturday and will be fitting them to mine any day now, then I'm covered for dark cloudy days. I'm on a fitness run at present, and the cycling has been a real added bonus, I feel it has done me a lot of good. Feeling much more flexible and finding my long hill walks a lot easier. I'm knocking up fifty miles most days, did two days of over a hundred miles each day, but must admit that took a lot out of me.

I fancy getting up to scratch for a real long one, over a few days, maybe next year, about May, I wouldn't mind John O'Groats to Manchester for instance. It's an objective, but I'll see how I feel when I get back from the orient.

So if you see me pedalling like the clappers down Wellington Road South, give me a shout and I'll buy you a pint or a brew.


There's a coast-to-coast cycle route, Workington to Wallsend or something similar, and my pal did that with his daughter. Maybe I could persuade him to do it again with me this time.

Still some distance off that standard, fitness-wise.

I've been very, very drunk in there. Was years ago though, at a Union meeting.

Is it actly big enough to go inside? Shocked


Big enough, quite palatial by Manchester standards.

The Pevril is a good boozer, real ale and everything. Sometimes spoilt by yakky yuppies in suits, but they go away eventually.

Same as The Brunswick?

(The other one I photographed more than once is The Peveril Of The Peak)


What's the same as The Brunswick? Finnegan's Wake? I'm getting lost.

I pedalled past a boat on the River Lee (or Lea) today.

"Walt...Broxbourne"

I thought of Wlat the Informer and Smorgishimus for some reason.

Splendid wildlife btw. Herons big fish cormorants wrens moorhen ducks canada geezers (dossers with Molson extra strong larger)

etc. Plus large cruiser boat (The Lady of the Lee) with women singing. nearly fell off again.

Cycled passed woman on phone saying (presumably to child reluctant to start school) "Dont ****ing start you're goin to school tomorra end of you hear"

charming. Swans didnt mind though.

I didn't cycle anywhere today...

I was changed to a chair and desk all day - because I am working class! Not like you middle class lot who seem to have infinite leisure time and infinite funds to persue your infinate hobbies!

NO I AM NOT PISSED!

Just because my posts don't contain loadsa 'I'm going here', 'I've been there', doesn't mean I'm pissed!

They're posts from my fertile, but dysfunctional imagination. I admit they are juvenile at times...but I've nothing else to say. In comparison, I lead a small life, but big on imagination.

susperia,

Loved the long john reply...

I walked to the shops today...

Bought 4 barmcakes for me and Eunuchs low calorie lunch tomorrow.

I brought her some home made curry in today, but she wouldn't eat it, because she said the microwave at work was a 'harbinger of doom'. It's never been cleaned in the two years I've been there. Civil Servants are filthy bastards.

Yep, still alive...

Still doing lehnthy stage shows.

How tickled I am!

What a great day for getting on your bike and saying "fancy biking from Lands End to Moss Side and back, Missus?".

I had a rabbit called Ken Dodd, due to it's prominant teeth.

The dog was scared of it.

Don't know about middle class (middle clawss? you must be effing joking) but I couldn't sleep because I'm not eating enough- woke up before four. If I was working class I could have some bread and dripping at least, or a deep-fried Mars bar.

Yorkshire terrier? No 5 down the street have got a poodle cross the size of a pony and a very annoying animal it is. Pit-bull poodle or not, I'll kick it in the goolies if I get the chance. Stupid keeping a dog that size in the hose, but these are very stupid people.
