I’ve got a Cycling Proficiency Test Certificate

All the more impressive when one considers that you took it on the very latest model at the time, the Penny Farthing.

Suck it up, Electric Scooter man.

Suck it up, Electric Scooter man

Has there ever been another machine devised to make a grown man look quite such an absolute fucking twat as the electric scooter? You could put James Dean, Steve McQueen or Sinatra on one and even they’d look like cunts.

[pap]

[scotty]

Nope. The scooter tops them all, with the possible exception of this…

[Cobham-Saint]

No this:

There’s a bloke up the road who has one of these. Clearly he has no self awareness.

[scotty]

Has he changed his name by deed poll to Donald Campbell, by any chance?

[Cobham-Saint]

More like Donald Duck

[Polski_Filip]

Confirmed
Litsl has a voucher for his flying human test & his 2nd proficiency badge when he (finally) comes to visit.

[Fowllyd]

An Alleweder (may have the spelling wrong). A beautiful piece of machinery.

If you want to make a grown man look a complete and utter cunt, just put him in an oversized lump of metal with “Range Rover” emblazoned on the front. He’ll look like a complete and utter cunt sure enough. Largely because that’s exactly what he is, as his choice of vehicle shows.

I don’t think it had that emblazoned on it tbh

I live in Chelsea Tractor central, we don’t have one, and everyone else has and are cunts tbf.

Today is mine and Mrs Down Under’s 10 year Wedding Anniversary!! No death nor divorce or even a fry pan to the noggin’!!

[Polski_Filip]

Yet.

[Cobham-Saint]

She must have the patience of a saint….

There’s a football reference in there somewhere.

[OzSaintDave]

Yeah, still alive and kickin’

[Polski_Filip]

Finally.
Mrs P_F has got a job. Starts Wednesday. Telesales for a “Cloudy thingy”
Not going full public yet with friends & family but a huge relief. It combines her old work - Retail with her App Sales work.
Just gotta get through the probation period of 2 months

9pm tonight marks exactly 5 years since my last alcoholic drink.

It was a glass of red wine, and I only finished half of it. Tipped it away to the derision of the ex-wife, who scornfully predicted that I’d be back on the booze within the week and dead by Christmas. (She’s a lovely person.)

[Lets-B-Drinking]

Was she right?

[scotty]

According to her, she always was.

[pap]

I’m off to the cinema today for the first time since COVID hit us.

Ghostbusters : Afterlife is the film of choice. Will let you know how it goes.

[pap]

Did stand up at an open mic night last night, performing under the stage name pap.

First time in fifteen years and it went a lot better than any gig I’ve done before.

English accent was a superpower. Robbed my lockdown diaries for material.
