Glad he’s ok mate. It’s hard when you can’t be there but if you have more kids it gets easier. The progression usually goes like this….

Kid comes in from outside bleeding from an extremity

1st kid - rush them to the ER

2nd kid - clean them up and apply a Band-Aid or two

3rd kid - “Can you get the f**k outside until you stop bleeding!!!”

I did think of you when I was typing that Monty 😂

Although I have 4 at home too now, they were half trained by the time they arrived 😂

I've been watching tons of their videos since you posted about them..... much of their stuff isn't exactly my cup of tea.... but the tracks I like, I love.

Very, very cold day up a Whaddon yesterday for MX photography.. It's still really good fun though..

No idea why I like this shot so much, but it just stands out to me

This is an awesome bit of kit. It's a CRF450 chassis with all the wet parts removed and replaced with a custom build electric setup. It's stunningly quick from a standing start, and jumps well too. Apparently it weighs less than the original donor bike.

And meet the resident goon. Doug is one of the championship riders thats sponsored by the greensands team, he's a cracking bloke and stupidly fast on a bike. He does love to play up for the camera though (wasntme)

Scratching my head a little, I can't post here from my phone as my IP is suspicious? But I can post from my laptop just fine.


Yesterday I hired a Luton van and helped my brother to move house before going to work, I'm feeling that today :D
But we got all the heavy and big stuff in 1 trip and everything else can be done in the coming days with the car.

Could you post a screenshot of the error please, feel free to mask IP addresses etc, or i can delete the screenshot once i've copied it..

Will see if I can work out where it's coming from and turn it down a little.

Nice cold day so it’s obviously a day for draining the heating system and cutting out some radiators 🫢

Cycling.
I have a reasonably long route planned... perhaps too long. I'll find out soon enough if it was a good idea or not. I'm guessing "not" but I won't find that out laying in bed.
And then I need to go and get a new phone... this one is slightly knackered to say the least.

Pick up a gel on your way out and pack plenty of water. That'll get you through a "too long" ride no problem.

I highly recommend the S21 and S23 Ultra. My two latest phones and both are great.

CamelBak and a Mars Bar will do the trick. And a pack of smokes.

Seems to be fixed (y)

I've just slept through the snow up in Doncaster, woke up to people chatting about how everything had gone to hell on the roads, looked out to a clear road :D

Will see if it comes back tonight whilst I'm driving my lorry.
