Seen yesterday outside the headquarters of the Monster Raving Loony party.

It is the official transport for the parliamentary candidate for Radnorshire.

(F reg., in daily use, sounds like it needs a bit of a tune. Front seats look modern.)

Not too raving loony then. They’re not even standing round here, although BJ in Uxbridge has two bucketheads standing against him.

No, one Lord Buckethead and one ex-Buckethead, now Count Binface.

Anyway, I'll have to stop there before Ben Elton pops up.

Just finished the last of my Xmas shopping! Did all of it online this year, just got to wait for a couple of deliveries then do a bit of wrapping up and then that’s that done for another year.

A couple more weeks of work to get through then it’s a week off and food and drink time!

I think they may be to 2055 what the MkI Escort is to 2019. My 17 year old great niece thinks they are fantastic.

Always fancied a fast blast in one myself.

The house move is finally happening!

21st of December is the date I'm moving, other half will be in sooner than that because they haven't had to work around the same logistics that I have.  Look out, Kent, here I come.

[Tickman]

Excellent news, hope it all goes well

Now, where's the dream topping..

I'm in Benidorm for Xmas, have enough euros to last me.

I draw my pension every week, so realised I will have 2 spare wages on my return.

So this morning spent it on a week in Fuengirola in February.

[clayts450]

Love a bargain me. Popped into Aldi for some bog roll, came out with some axle stands as well, reduced to 7.99 at the till, 9.99 on the shelf.

Is that, you're going to Benidorm for Xmas or you're already there?

A guy I know had one of those , somebody egged him on so he went after them on a dual carriageway ,caught them just as they went over the brow of a hill only by then the guy was braking hard 

That'll be because of that roundabout then , he didn't stop , straight into it 

When the police arrived they started questioning his son who had to point out the old guy sat on the wall as the driver, Rick was 70 at the time

Yes, can be read either way sorry. There on Monday.

Bought new jeans from eBay, MandS rejects apparently. Had a whinge the other day on here cos they don't fit - too big by miles round the waist and a lot tighter round my manly and masculine (hahahaha) thighs. However, with a belt cinched up tight round the waist they are really bloody comfortable! Stretch fit apparently and so soft on my delicate skin but yes, they look silly and a bit 'hipster' but as anyone who knows me will attest, I ain't no fashion victim!

For a penny under a tenner I don't think I have a right to complain, do I?

[High Jetter]

Asda jeans do me for working in. Used to be £5 a pair, last time I bought had gone up to £7. Comfy and strong enough for what I need, again not fussed about fashon.

Bugger, back home from Benidorm shortly so you'll be pleased to know you'll miss me!

[Mally]

Ah pity I miss you.

Been going every Xmas for years.

Missed last year as my wife died, but back in the routine now.

Know someone in same hotel, so not on my own for gala meal.

Now I've got an estate I've decided I can start going mountain biking again as its so simple to just lob the bike in the boot. No fucking about with bike racks, taking wheels off and all that Jazz. 

Fuckin' winner. 

Don't even have to fold the whole seat, just half. Even easier as Imp Jrs seats there. 

Just need some sheets down to keep the boot clean. 

However I've not ridden for a bit so this was me taking the bike to the shop for a 'service' which will probably cost more than I paid for it in the first place. 

But if it gets me out again then bob on mofo.

We're away in Manchester for a few nights.

Reasonably pleasant trip over, despite the rain. Not to mention the wanker who was driving like a massive cock behind me so I pulled over to let him pass.

 

Had my belly filled and a few beers, we've decided it's bed time already.

 

Bonus points to the Mrs for packing some hot chocolate.

 

God we're fucking ravers.

I like burgers, I'm not a snob about them, I'll eat any burger, but I do appreciate a good one, and I've found the best burgers always come from the last place you'd expect. Five guys, In'n'out  and all those "hipster" burger places are great, but the really amazing ones take you by surprise.

On sunday I drove cross country to Warrington to pick our lass up after she'd had an operation, where she couldn't eat any solids for 6 weeks after. On the way back home I was fucking starving so I popped into a Spar on the way and they had some burgers in a hot cabinet, not thinking I grabbed one and wandered back to the car where she was sat and started eating it infront of her.

This burger was the best burger I have ever had. Lovely thick patty, cooked and seasoned perfectly. Soft bun, grated quality cheese on it. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Three bites in I was just about to go off on how great this burger was, but I looked over at my mrs who can only eat jelly for two months and realised I'd dropped a bit of a bollock and just had to eat the rest of it very quickly and keep quiet about how bloody amazing this burger was.

I'm trying to find an excuse to drive the 40 mile round trip for another.
