Seeing as we have had this week off, we managed to take care of six of the seven deadly sins: : L arranged for us to visit the Three Choirs vineyard in Gloucestershire for a wine tour, tasting session (Gluttony), dinner (Greed) and an overnight stay in one of their lodges nestled in the middle of the vines. The Lodge was a great get away from it all location, although they have four lodges all with all mod cons, they are spread out and therefore give total privacy (That took care of Lust). One more when I took my part exchange Fireblade into the Ducati dealer and was shown my new Panigale all shiny and ready for delivery next week (Pride) (Envy) followed when we parked next to my dream car, Ferrari 458 in a pub car park when we stopped for lunch on the way back. (Sloth) was taken care of today, we did absolutely sweet FA, totally wasted the day even though there was plenty of things that needed doing. The missing final one (Wrath) will come when I turn my work Hellberry back on Monday morning and discover what has been going on whilst I have been away.
So far today (and I've only been awake an hour and ten minutes) I have ironed a shed load of clothes, thereby allowing me to fuck about all weekend without getting nagged!
Considering it's the only thing I do around the house (and only once a fortnight, if that) then I don't do too badly :wink:
That made me chuckle! I stood in front of the mirror and beat my chest - all that happens was I coughed hard enough to set my sciatica off again...
Thank fuck I don't play golf then. It's an old man's game, on a par with dominoes and crown green bowls :biggrin:
Hey so I'm in touch with my feminine side. Once a fortnight. For a hour and a half. So I don't get nagged about doing nothing around the house when she has a full time job too. I can live with that
Golf is a young mans game around here, you try drinking a can of beer a hole, plus a shot of whiskey every time you hit a duff shot when you play as badly as I do. That's why I gave up, Liver couldn't take it anymore :frown:
Bear with me, I'm just looking for the thread /poll on the average age of members here riding ducatis .........
Love a bit of golf, or used to when I took a break from riding. Still like the occasional game now as long as its a craic
I used to be a very keen golfer in my teens and twenties. Used to take it too seriously though, if I had a bad game it was all I could think about all week. Gave up halfway through a very wet round when I let go of a brand new 6 iron and it smashed into the trees. By the time the old man caught up with me I'd smashed half my set of Pings over my knee in anger...game over.
