@mmccarthy; not if the Irish, real and plastic, have anything to do with it!
-
This is a disgrace. Is there any way we can find out which company owns the van? If signwritten, and not a sole trader in his own wagon, the owners will probably take a dim view of thier vehicle being used to endanger the lives of fellow road users.
-
@ Snowy. Oh damm, thats what happened. I must have put two ariel tablets in. Also the three Arrowspokes have all come undone, and turned into normal spokes. I must owe you a fortune for the damage......
-
Snowy; trying to get along tonight. Please do not let me leave without paying you for the 20 inch lo-pro wheel.

I think Emilia is on the money. Not wishing to generalise, but I suspect your wife would, above all things, appreciate being drawn into the decision making process. It sounds all macho to say "just do it" but you will have to live with the consequences. Also, maybe you can offer either the spa break with her friends, or equally a trip away as a family? The spa break may be just the ticket, but it could be construed as you being reluctant to spend time with her. Maybe emphasise how proud you are of your family, and how you want to head away as a team, for some quality time.
Good luck, and well done for being brave enough as to ask for advice.

How about we as a forum do something at Christmas? I think there was a great initiative last year to deliver toys to kids at various homes.

One question is missing
- Have you ever been to Saaf Drinks?
0) Never.
2) once this year.
4) Once this month.
6) Once this fortnight.
12) "Yhoo, Jimbooo!"
- Have you ever been to Saaf Drinks?

Sorry, Jimjams, me and the Moser wanted to make it along, but an uncle's 80th birthday party in Lancashire is on that day, so unfortunately I'm out.
Have a great ride, and don't forget to post the pictures.
-
Signed and apologies for the delay. Heartfelt condolences to all the family and friends. Heart warming, and breaking, to read the loving comments, and to feel the pain of loved ones left behind.

Oh Joy of Joys; the hours of parental computer training by the long suffering son have produced a dvidend. See, Matt, there is hope for me yet!

And here is the link, hoping that it works

At last, the pictures are uploaded to my Facebook account. I think they are set for anyone to view, but come back to me if they cannot be accessed. Find me as Bernie Finerty; no prizes for guessing which ones were taken after the pints started to fly. Great memories of an outstanding evening.
-
@Pisti; I told you to keep clear of Saaf's herbal cigarettes. You wouldn't listen, would you?
-
Have you no Faith?
-
Well, If Teddy does not object, I am happy to pull something together. However, as Teddy did the hard work last year, in setting a superb precident, his blessing will be required as a starter.
It just seems this beautiful weather is such a great excuse to get out as a group, and to enjoy our wonderful city before the weather changes.
-
As the fresh autumn weather comes on, is there a plan for a second event around London's famous London? I have a tailor client who might want to get involved, if this does not cramp anyones style.
-
No, Jonny on the right, Marky on the left.
Never thought of the them as south London's modern day answer to Starsky and Hutch.
-
If you think those are scary, my pictures will give you nightmares, not to mention Alexski's black and white horror shots. I will make sure they are up in time for Halloween.
-
Top night as always, and the craic was truly mighty.
The in house computer guru has just headed back to Uni so will bring the pictures on a CD to Saafs drinks and see if an IT literate compadre can do the business.
There are some excellent pictures, mostly fo JayGee in progressive states of disarray... unlike the rest of us!
-
@benjeebee; good man for taking in this role.
Are we saying that the TT racers will leave their appointed locations at a set time? Maybe 6:15 to give an ETA of 6:30-40 at the Toucan?
You are the one in charge, so please feel free to lay down some parameters.
(not that the cheating showers from West and North will bother with such trifles as rules...)

Some of us are starting from the Royal Oak, Kennington Lane for the actual toast at 17:59. All welcome to join us. Shows up on Google with a handy map, detailing the lines of the Vauxhall one way system.
The plan is then to ride in a very sedate, calm and Highway Code sort of way to the Toucan, to be crowned "King of the G's" by the assembled adoring masses, having beaten the other three points of the London compass, to the Toucan.
However, that is the plan at 1300 hours, before any gargle, input from our master Alexski, and the joys of rush hour traffic.
As the Dr. Pepper advert says, "relax, whats the worst that could happen....?"
(gulp)

What, Pistanator is not a Liverpool fan? I was sure I picked up the dulcet tones of Merseyside in his storytelling. I also think he is after a Colnago instead of the cheapie Giant, but the posh bikes are all double chained to the garage wall.
Well, who is joining me and Alexki in the illustrious, winning Saafs crew then?
