Went to hossie for check up appointment with podiatrist (lovely girl - but what made her choose looking after old diabetic MENS trotters?).Consultant popped his head round door and asked to take some "after" pics for his records.He said it's healed in record time for a chronic diabetic with very bad circulation in lower legs and feet - was genuinely happy but told me that unfortunately my flip flop modelling career is over! Never mind with my looks I could always try crash helmet modelling?
We all have our cross to bear chiz - mine unfortunately was being able to consume more of anything alcoholic than people around me and still be able to run several businesses and seem totally straight and sober? That was until I hit 55 yrs old and the wheels came off spectacularly!
You have somewhere specific you go in Cheddar? Personally I'd trundle 15 mins along the road to Wells-some nice cafes there including one or two on the Market square And of course the Cathedral ( second oldest clock in Europe dontcha know) and high street etc to wander up and down. If you get a chance ride up/down Burrington Combe as well-same escarpment as Cheddar, but quieter...
I remember in about 1986/87 when I really started getting hold of some proper paper out of the car job.I had always bought decent clothes but off the peg clobber and I was a big fat lardy guy so they were always fighting to keep me from bursting out! I went upto the smoke and got measured up for a proper tailored suit at Tommy Nutters (He later did all Frank Bruno's,Jonathan Ross's etc suits).I chose the shiny silver mohair cloth that all the glitterati were wearing at the time and had a fluorescent pink silk lining with pink stitching round all the buttonholes - I thought it looked the total dogs bollox? I went to a charity ball with the mrs and wore it - the mrs won 2nd or 3rd prize in the raffle and I stood up and held up the winning ticket to claim my prize and the compère (Jim Davidson) said over the pa "and the lucky winner is the pikey in his dads wedding suit!" Bastard- I never liked him
Just reccying a run for later in September. We've been a couple of times on the way back from Exmoor so no real plan. I'll talk to Carole and see if we can find Burrington Combe, sounds fun. Thanks. Andy
Hahaha - it's still on the end of my leg! That hospital have already claimed my left nut and put it in a fruit pickling jar on a dusty shelf somewhere
Been looking for a cheap Diesel smoke with a bit of spec that doesn't look a total shed as I can only drive an auto tool left trotter is totally healed.Found this 2006 S60 Auto - top of the range and ain't been to mars and back! Touch over 3 Grand! Ain't throwing stones???
depends on your route in/out you can go down one and up the other. Bout oooh .....3 miles part, burrington is north of cheddar, and out of Burrington at the top, good straight road ( B 3134/0 from memory?) over the top of the Mendips past the Castle of Comfort.
Multi is gonna get a good detailing.....she's looking very sorry for herself but will be back to pre-tour lovelyness shortly!
Should be pulling my horns in as my pension is clearly insufficient to keep spending the way I am but bollocks, missing bike sport so we are off to Thruxton for the BSB weekend ........... in hospitality . Andy
Yeah - got one a few months back...amazing tv....best ive had yet....better still is the fact that its so fast you can stream stuff to it without needing a pc/kodi/android box under the telly....i did get an iptv provider loaded on there last week....over a 1000 channels - awesome...
Have assembled all the bits and pieces that go with my once favourite bike.It is being picked up by its new owner tomorrow and taken off to the wilds of Derbyshire. An end of good fun with it,but time to move on.
Following a meeting with a council planning department first thing this morning Ive been traipsing round potential development sites all day.
