    Hi Guests, At time of writing there are 49 of you mooching around on this site. Is this some kind of voyourism thing that you are doing? or are you interested in joining our happy little group? It's not like the Masons, there's no rolling up of trouser legs ( although you might come across a few pic's of one of our ladies showing her tat's off.) and as long as you don't want to buy or sell something it's absolutly free to join. And we accept girlies too! Infact the more the merrier. So don't be creepin around out there come and join in ( even if it's only to tell me to mind my own f@"in' business ) there's some good people here and they'll even offer advise on problems…

    with all the negative things being said about all the MPs at the minute (poor souls), if i was to run for parliment here is my election campaign: WHISTLEBLOWING: get elected and tell the world about the corruption that goes on by our Right Honourable members. CRIME: when given a jail sentence that sentence must be served in full; that means you dont get out for good behavior your in there for bad behavior! PRISON OVERCROWDING: simple, if the cell holds 2 CRIMINALS at the moment then you can put six in it . 2 are asleep, 2 are watching telly in a big hall (no tv in the cell) and the other 2 are lifting litter/scraping chewing gum from pavements while chained toget…

    Now I'm not putting trike riders down as we all have our preferences............but I'll start the story here.........I was driving my car down the road (as you do) and I was behind a trike, rider just had geans and T-shirt on, NO LID and this go me thinking (always a 1st I know) When out on my bike I often get smacked in the head by the odd passing BEE and at speed you really feel it through the lid and of course hear the THUMP as it strikes the LID. Now 99% of the time it hits the visor and this got me thinking....................just how much must it hurt at 60 mph when riding a trike with no lid on as you pass a field full of rape seed, bee's and other f…

    Any1 tried riding one of these?... I had a crash course (literally) when I went to India abt. 3 years ago.. Never been on a bike before learning on an Enfield... So for me, gear changing on the Right and brakind with the left foot was normal... Great fun they are!.. but not when they land on you because you try to avoid a bullock heading for a collision course (totally oblivious those things!!!) The best thing about riding in India is that you dont need to wear a helmet - such a sense of freedom!... - just pop your flip flops an and away you go.. err ensuring you've clothed all other necessary bits.. regards -mits-
