  1. Ta.........Smashing Night Oot but feeling a wee bit delicate today
  2. This day 1985....I got married...so going out to celebrate tonight the fact that..... We humped Admin @Hearts 2013 6-2 the following day is my abiding memory...and I WAS there...and still have the Scotsport Video. My all time favourite shout during that match..."Bring on the Dancing Girls" Great Memories indeed.
  3. Your hatred of a Saints Player continues to bore the S**t out of the rest of us on here, so just to show we don't bear a grudge, please accept this gift of a new Avatar.....
  4. Sky have been promising to fit their gear in the exchange up here for years, promised me ABSOLUTELY it would be done inside 6 months when I switched from TalkTalk last December. No change......lying b******s...I should have known better. I wrote to them last week telling them I am out of their Broadband /Phone as soon as I can because they told porkies again, their broadband is shit, always freezing, slow downloads,and no way will I pay for BT Sport. I will be off to BT for broadband/Phone asap and get the sport for free. ETA....The halfwits still haven't replied....Customer Service my arse.
  5. The section in bold hits the nail on the head. I have been using this road for 30 odd years and still see nutters "going for it" because they have been stuck behind a convoy of slow moving vehicles. We have needed this road dualled long ago and it pisses me off that we can chuck money away elsewhere when it could have been used on the A9. What a fu**up with those trams.......how can the council sign a deal and as soon as the job starts the Contractors say they need more money...... And they get it!!!!! Who brokers these deals.?? The main route North and it is a shambles, some of you will get a taste of it on Saturday, remember and stay calm.... And as for the A96 Rant over...
  6. The trip was good fun if a little tiring. Flight from Inverness at 7 o'clock.Got picked up at Gatwick and back to the sellers house to complete the paperwork and have a wee non alcoholic refreshment before I left as it was roasting hot. M25 is an arse of a road but once off at J16 and on the Oxford/Birmingham stretch it was good progress all the way. I took three food stops and stopped for shorter breaks in between those for fuel to break up the journey. Left Maidstone at 11.30 am and back home at 00.30 ....13 hours total journey time for 610 miles. Steady 70mph on the motorway made me about the slowest vehicle on the road....who cares ??? Fuel figures were high fifties to the gallon, pleased with that. Hit rain twice, just north of Carlsisle for 20mins, torrential doesn't come close, and really heavy between Hamilton and Stirling. Not bad for the distance covered. If I had went down the night before and left at say 8'oclock in the morning I reckon it would have been much easier to do it in a single day. As I guessed, the last 50 miles or so were the most tiring, although that happens every time I go up the A9. Always good to be home, love the bike, looking forward to some holiday type trips on it. I won't be at Caley on Saturday, going Offshore on Thursday but hope to see some of you at the County Game. COYS.
  7. Thank you for your concern Tom, I will take every precaution to keep myself safe on the Journey home. Indeed, I spent all of last week on a course in Aberdeen where Risk Management was a large part of the Syllabus. I will be making frequent rest stops and keep up my hydration levels, also taking on the correct foods for my Gluten free needs,thus ensuring my body stays finely tuned on the trip. Apparel for the trip is cleaned and checked, I will be purchasing a new "High Visibility" waterproof overvest to supplement my safety clothing and to assist other road users in making me more prominent in their field of vision. I will of course observe the rules of the Highway at all times paying particular attention to the National Speed Limit. I am hoping for good weather but I am prepared should precipitation levels be of a high level on the journey. Please observe the photographic image provided and from this take comfort that the safety equipment I will be wearing is of an impeccable standard. I look forward to reporting the Journey on the Forum. In the words of Sgt. Phil Esterhaus from the Most Excellent television show "Hill Street Blues" ......... "Let's be Careful Out There"
  8. It would be interesting to see how some of the Nuggets slagging Cheesy on here would take to the same treatment about their workplace performance, especially if it was then put on a Public Forum for discussion. I'm sure they would be less than happy...... Why don't they make their way to Ralston and say what they said on here to Cheesy when he comes in for training......... In other words I agree with above.....
  9. Hi Ian I'm going down on the early bird on Saturday morning and the seller is picking me up at Gatwick to take me to the bike then off I pop to Sneckie.... The bike is a 650 Suzuki V-Strom "Adventure Bike" ,a well known distance machine. My mate has one and been all over Europe on it. He was about to ship his to Vancouver and do a three month tour of North America with his wife on pillion but he had a job offer that was to good to turn down, Methil would you believe...... These bikes are comfy but my plan is to do 90 minutes or so then take a wee stretch break to keep from stiffening up. I hope to be home by around 02.00 on Sunday but that is not a given...Weather, traffic etc. will come into it, not to mention my old body. Mind you I am fit as I have ever been, Honest !!!! and I have not been this weight since1991 but I do admit to a combination of excitement and a wee bit of trepidation nervousness The reason I am buying this one is my wife will not go near the Bike in my avatar, a ZRX1200S....A bit too uncomfy...and I agree. Even less chance of her going on my "Sunday Bike" ,a ZXR 750....perched like a gnome on the back with your knees up roon yer lugs.....no way Jose' She has promised to do some trips on this one, already has all the gear so New bike and we are off...... By the way...55-60 mpg is fairly common on these bikes on a run. See if I can hijack a Player or two on the way up
  10. Going to pick up a new bike on Saturday and drive it home to Inverness from............ Maidstone in Kent Only 604 miles.......A Black and White bike of course..
