Hi. I run an old car that I've owned for over a decade now.Its my daily transport and I'm quite sentmentalay attached to. Its in remarkable condition for it's age and it's now bordering classic status. As you can imagine it takes a bit of looking after considering it's age and parts are often...

Could you ever mistake gammon for Turkey? This is what a lady in Manchester did. https://eminetra.co.uk/the-woman-who-complained-that-the-pink-turkey-ruined-christmas-is-said-to-have-bought-gammon/890834/

I was hoping to do a longish ride ! But even my hybrid tyres got a puncture today. Am i riding in a way that is causing more punctures! Vexed ! But it was fun to ride in my elf gear ! Got a lot of Merry christmas shouts. How was your ride ? A lot more cars on the roads than expected

SIL has surpassed herself this year. Not quite as bad as a singing mug she bought me once, but just got a small bottle of hot mango sauce. I don't have sauces. It will either go in the bin, or I'll pass it to my sister's hubby as he loves hot sauce.

I think Santa's been. He left the bottle of whisky out. Hold on that might have been me.

Now this is how you start a four-day holiday weekend. Out of the house at 9:30am and on the trails by 10. We had a light dusting of snow and freezing temps (23 degrees / -5 Celsius). I haven't put the studs on this bike yet, but they are on the fat bike already. So, we will play it safe and not...

...and before the usual suspects jump in with "Ooooh...I haven't touched a drop for 20 years, etc etc", this is for alcohol only, special dispensation for non-alcoholic breakfast drinks 1. Yorkshire Tea, several cups thereof whilst watching the pressie opening 2. Then it can start, a nice glass...

Looking forward to warmer and dryer weather in 2022... Stay safe all.

Can't see another thread on this. MODS please do not move this as its a general question. We had planned to have salmon en croute from M&S but they seem to be sold out so........ It will be home made spag bol for us. No point doing a full roast as MrsD is struggling to eat at all and at least I...

As an official old fart I don't think I ever believed in 'him' as being real. Never taught my kids he was real. Just wondering about other's views.

Looking unlikely here now, despite the forecast just a few days ago. Weather experts on the radio were just saying it's more likely the further north you live. Well, that's why they are experts, who would have thought that snow in the UK is more likely further north? :laugh: P.S. A REAL white...

I would like to wish you all the good and the bad and the foolish a Merry Christmas and many more safe bike rides.

I don't know whether it is a family thing or whether there is a North / South divide when it comes to decorating a Christmas Tree. Growing up we always had tinsel, baubles and coloured lights. Now that I live down South we follow my wife's family traditions which include a ban on Tinsel, and...

Every festive season is an excuse for companies to send you a new advert for their crap (which you didn't want in November. Or October. Or ... ) This is the most personal and insulting so far:: Christmas is just around the corner... 🎅🎅 So we have launched our own monthly instalment plan to...

Not that I don't enjoy it. A few days off work giving a receiving presents etc. Do you just relax and go with the flow ? - or should you organise things like quizzes , board games etc One tip I will pass on if you have children is to take a day outside over Xmas - some fresh air and not being...

I am sure most of you have everything you would ever need. But what sort of things would you really like to receive on Christmas day? Some nice Park Tools, expensive Goretex rain jackets, Books, Wine, Whisky. Hit me with your wishes. I might even add some of them to my letter to Santa

I am always amazed at the prices people are willing to pay for xmas day meals at the pub etc. £65/75 upwards for a pub meal I really understand some people have real reasons** but the pubs are full on the day. ** I know a lady that lost her husband, could not face cooking, so took 8 of the...

Got to be done, to balance out the equilibrium of Christmas spirit - the Bah Humbug is running too high. Quite enjoy Christmas, if not just for the break. Family get together, nothing too crazy. Visiting the Markets for a beer and food - rarely buy anything other than possibly cheese and...

The 2021 'Bah Humbug' Christmas thread.. 🎅 Glitter!! Feckin' glitter everywhere.... and I don't mean Gary!!!

Personally I don’t think Christmas decorations should appear until Christmas Eve but Mrs JtB has other ideas and is in the process of getting them out. Well I guess if you can’t beat them, join them so when the time comes, let’s see what you all have hanging…..

Blimey, I think folk have gone crazy this year. I've got a really busy two week run up to Christmas - usually I'll just go for one meal with some colleagues/ex colleagues... Meal with Managers on 9th, 10th is lunch/afternoon with Family at the Christmas markets, 11th is a concert (Madness) and...

For me it used to be the smell from the Sugar Beet factory on a cold crisp morning. Now it seems to be when the brushes wear out in the washing machine!. Like bloomin clockwork, at least it wasn't Christmas Eve like last time. 5th set fitted tonight, don't think it's got long left (can't moan...

Heinz have brought out their answer to Christmas shortages. Their Big Soup contains turkey, pigs in blankets, stuffing, cranberry sauce and gravy. All for 1.50. Anyone tempted to partake of this feast on Christmas Day?

😳. Two this evening! Jeez it’s only just October.…

The Mrs made her pud back in September but we didn’t have it over Christmas. Will it keep till next year? The recipe states that it will keep for a year, will an extra 3 months make a difference? It’s covered in grease proof paper and a muslin cloth, I thought about putting it in an air tight...
