Richard, why the little b in biddulph on your Avtar and also when you sign your name in your opening rant. Why, why? Were you Googling yourself to end up here? You seem a very interesting chap Your Server has gone back to UK again, why?
Yep. Lolling around on a hammock with a Cuba libre to Hand. Back on the 7th. The bikes here would not impress you chaps.
Current location has more to do with being married to a wonderful Filipino lady then the tax regime. (Is there one here.) I come out once a year or so for some R and r. Took 20 people to dinner last night and all in with the booze it came to £47 quid. And people ask why I come here?!?!
Your back in the UK so soon, someone in the office hacking your account perhaps :Wideyed: don't say owt you wouldn't want them to know, cheeky gits
the wifes mate is called Biddulph. she drives a sorrento. did a casher once for the fella that owned ravenscraige before it was nationalized. lived in a massive walled estate in kilmalcolm. proper wealthy. funnily enough his name was MrCraig. a more down to earth fella you couldn't meet. mega wealthy? probably chilled. aspiring middle class? well. especialy the ones in middleweight sports cars. you know the type.
Imagine going all the way to The Phillippines to buy people dinner as it's too pricey to do so in the UK. That's a skewed set of financial priorities, right there. Mind you, an automobile costing more that the price of an average family home is equally a wondrous thing to behold. *shakes head*
One did not expect to find you writing so .... ugly I'm rather surprised Where is @Pete1950 there is one such person who writes tastefully
Still in the Phillipinnes. I use a work around called my private network that fools servers into thinking I am accessing from the UK. That way you music & programs that have licensing issues can still be watched, such as channel 4 live streaming. If I have not activated it it shows I am in Cebu, or possibly Singapore as Where i am staying has some tie up with Singapore internet. Back to the fray on the 7th. 10 Years ago I had a memorable ride over some cols in the pyrenees with about 10 Ductista I met at a gas station who were holidaying there. My GS was fully loaded as I was living on it at the time going round the world. I got assorted tongue in cheek comments about travelling with everything except the kitchen sink, but gained some respect by finishing mid pack on each col much to the bemusement of some the guys on the latest red kit who had bigger wallets then skill levels. That being said there a couple of guys who just blew me into the weeds on each run who really knew what they were doing. On the old 1150GSA if the centre stand is dragging you know your are cornering about right. If the luggage starts touching down on bumps you know you are very likely about to fall off.
