Reasons to be cheerful

[sidecar bob]

Nice. Although done properly you can do the self serving enjoyment thing directly when you leave school, on the taxpayer y'know, no actual graft required.

Still, now that you've belatedly caught on why don't you take the Mrs out for dinner and get absolutely shitfaced?

Well I at least achieved the second part of that.

I have frequently been told I'm too worried about my older self, well, my older self just walked in.
Bugger a lifestyle block, we're going the commercial building way, with heaps of room for the toys to spread out & absolutely no garden maintenance.
First trip, use up the ticket we've had to Rarotonga for two years, second trip, south of France to rent a house In a small village with an open return date.

My brother is currently on his retirement trip in Europe and has been doing quite a lot of house sitting in England and France. Keeps the cost down I guess.

Nice call! Got any favourite spots?

One of my special places is Uzes. Pretty close to the Gorge du Tarn which I'd love to ride through... only ever driven.

Good luck mate.

I did that 40 years ago, but just couldn't get my fingers to do what my head said they should, no matter how hard I tried.

I borrowed one. Played it til my fingers bled. I could do a fair imitation of comfortably numb by a slightly pissed Gilmore.

But that's it. And that was 20 years ago, now it takes me 5 minutes to get the fucking key in the front door.

Be nice to say I still enjoy someone else playing, but I can't hear shit either.

But hey, I still enjoyed a wee trundle around the lake today, and a nice pie and a pint in Martonborough.

I've nominated Perpignan, due to its proximity to the coast & a number of Moto GP circuits.

One of the family's black sheep uncles kept a boat in Roses, 10 min across the border. Never been there but it's supposed to be amazing.

I always was a late starter.

Never been there but looks nice and very handy to lots of cool places. It'll be hot in summer. We were there in June this year. Drove along the length of the Pyrenees and then off to Aix near Marseilles. 35C every day for ten days except for the day it was 37C... first time in my life I've thought I could collapse from the heat

after thoroughly masticating. and usually only after a few beers.

Truly - the mind boggles! .

Is masticating beating your meat whilst drunk as opposed to masturbation
