Tactical Pith Helmet

I'm not watching I'm A Celebrity. If I want to watch a load of talentless twats eating bollocks and eyeballs, I'll go and stand outside a Greggs.

On my way to a lot of it. Gunman Alpha and Bravo are the destination!

Chap I knew years ago was a factory race team mechanic for Norton. His Commando was stupid fast. The compression that it ran at was amazing, but we all ran old parallel twins with about 15% dope in the tank. Another bloke I often met at the Pod had a Battle of the Twins class drag bike that was tuned to the point of fragility. They really are still a great real world roadster, especially with a knife edged crank and modern bearings, valve seats, ignitions etc. Hope you enjoy many miles of fun riding the old girl!

I tend to sit in a traffic jam on the M25 whenever I go to the place...

I've been amazed at the amount of crud that new barrels contain. Getting one truly clean requires a fair bit of force and a very tight patch sometimes.

Modern classic; albeit a bloody silly one. Love it!

Always fancied one, but I've never been able to switch between left and right gearboxes. Bloody horrible memories of hurtling towards a bend with no engine braking or back brake on a borrowed mates B40, in the snow, just a denim jacket and flat cap turned backwards for protection. IIRC it's the same engine as the Atlas and also pre-isolastic?

It's hard to message when your knuckles are sore from being dragged along the floor all day long.

I fucking told the garage I worked at that I had a nut allergy. They still sacked me when all the wheels fell off.

I'm sure there's a Namsoft game at Battle Lakes next year. I think that one was cancelled there this year? I've only heard good things about the site and I live bloody hours (and hours) away!

My attempts to develop an artificial testicle have been shambolic.

If you think that I'm driving four or so hours, and even dragging the Mrs along, to play airsoft with a bunch of fellow fanatics then you're sadly unmistaken... 😅 Seriously, we did similar with a Farcebook group for mature players a few years back. We all wore DPM and '58 pattern, and used 'interesting' gnus. Not knowing the site we didn't do too well, but many laughs were had and I ate the biggest breakfast of my life so far in a B&B before the game. Had an interesting discussion on arthritis meds at lunchtime too. Memorable day. Even got to sample Milton Keynes roundabouts on the way home too.

I for one. Love Roman numerals...

Fifty quid from the first three birthday cards today! I love being a postman...

Always been pricey-ish, but never had an issue with them. Bought my first rif from there and a fuck ton of their BBs (pre-discovery of Kilo 9s; and then post Brexit, post Kilo 9s...). Shows how experiences of a retailer differ if nothing else.

'Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.' A handy rule of thumb when trying to pull at weddings.

Just seen the headlines in the local paper: "Graveyard targeted in the night - assailants leave cheese toasties everywhere!" Police say it's likely the work of Breville worshippers...

I play in a Tactical Pith Helmet.... It's tacticool as it has a net from ebay stretched over it. I do play other filmsim games, but Namsoft is my favourite by far. The social is even better than than the other Gunman games.

I'm one of the lucky ones who didn't get an Oasis ticket.

My wife treats me like a god. She takes no notice of my existence until she actually wants something...
