You could always follow me for a few hours to get the hang ;)<br /><br />Roland:<br />All thanks to an almost empty A1/A14. France is a wonderful biker country, but the sneaky bastards are hiding cameras in roadside furniture! National limits are fine by me. `Ride steady, live long`.<br /><br />PG:<br />That trip sounded like something approaching a male fantasy world ;)<br />Polite kids weren't born that way. All credit to you.<br /><br />Scott:<br />In my experience, US freeways were worrying places, mainly because the drivers always seemed to be away with the fairies or on mobile phones :-/<br /><br />Spark:<br />Concur on all points!<br /><br />ACO:<br />Old Landies park where they f`ing want to `round here.<br /><br />TonyF:<br />I once knew a cider drinker.

Used to love the stuff when it was still Morland's and 5.2% on draught. And then those once-fine-brewers-now-asset-strippers, Greene King, went and bought it and decided what the new-pub-drinker-demograph really wants is one of those nitrogen cream-flow "ales" at about four-and-a-bit-percent. Maybe even also do a carbonated version to help the migration from lager.<br /><br /> And I wept bitter, bitter tears.<br /><br /> It's still quite passable in bottles, but I only drink in pubs, so...sparkflashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10106858614940850559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434417594974826136.post-89195687810215983462011-07-14T03:22:47.981+01:002011-07-14T03:22:47.981+01:00You must have been on the British equivelant of th...You must have been on the British equivelant of the Interstate, if you could maintain 70. Here in Wisconsin, if you do less than 75 on Interstate 90/94, you'll get run over, but if you are on a two lane, like US 12, the Wisconsin State Patrol is gonna say something. <br /><br />Speaking of motorcycles, the State Patrol, on thier motorcycles, have gone to LED lights that seem to have a "retina burn" setting.SCOTTtheBADGERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12859188068159799373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434417594974826136.post-61997736331759852502011-07-13T19:01:35.310+01:002011-07-13T19:01:35.310+01:00I've been on tour as well.

One avails oneself of the entertainments closest at hand, no?<br />Did you pick the little guy up from pr-school without his Mom's supervision? Too cute : )<br />And yeah, when I think of all the work I put into getting my kids to behave with civility, even at Mac D's, I often wonder why I bothered. Well, not really, these days they're a pleasure to be seen with for the most part.

I came home to a nice collection of Speckled Hen, courtesy of Mrs H. I rode past the brewery twice last week. As a result of a medical test last week I'm now on a large doseage of antibiotics so am pondering said tins in the `fridge and wondering....Strangely enough I had a de-caf coffee last night and it had a reaction so perhaps the SH will be OK?<br /><br />Anne:<br />Greetings to you.

We just had a week in south Devon with the dogs, I've never been there before but the pubs are great, and lots allow well-behaved dogs (doesn't happen in Scotland). The drive took 2 days each way but worth it!
