Hope you find something suitable soon, have you thought about booking some nice ones and stay for the night , you might learn important facts which an estate agent is certainly not going to tell you about and if you like it you can ask the owner if they would be interested in a sale, gives you something to do too, have a purpose you know, newly retired can be a bit , well you know, you can’t just keep on re- reading your Eastern European list of contactsI’m viewing a property- I cancelled my only fans account as the internet kept crashing
I know they were. But they they brought the Norman French dialect with them in the Norman conquest and introduced French words and spellings into Saxon Old English creating the hybrid French-inflected Middle English, much derided by later post-Norman French visitors in the middle ages who heard the language as Englishmen trying to talk French with a silly accent, like Officer Crabtree, the gendarme in Allo Allo and parodied in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.Normans were not Froggies, they were Vikings and were given Normandy in return for peace
Interestingly, other than their castles and churches, their language is about the only trace of the Normans that has survived in modern England. The Normans were able to administer a minority rule by monopolising military and political power - rather like the British in India. They didn't mount a wholesale colonisation of England with a large imported population so the Norman rulers were small in number relative to the native population and they became absorbed and Anglicised over time by the Saxon majority. Their influence on spelling in the English language probably survives because their legal and bureaucratic authority saw their language pattern inserted into the written record of the state. Echoed again in the vestiges of British rule in India.
It also might expalin the marked difference between northern and southern English accents today.
I still have an offer on the table for the one with the fab river view in the centre - that was the main reason I viewed the one today as although I like the building it's in but the apartment was at the back and the views of the City Walls are at the front but it's with the same agent so I got chance to quiz her about the river view one face to face. There's not many that I would consider, most are not allowed for Holiday Lets in prime positions in the Centre.Hope you find something suitable soon, have you thought about booking some nice ones and stay for the night , you might learn important facts which an estate agent is certainly not going to tell you about and if you like it you can ask the owner if they would be interested in a sale, gives you something to do too, have a purpose you know, newly retired can be a bit , well you know, you can’t just keep on re- reading your Eastern European list of contacts
I'm hardly retired, posting stuff 6 days a week all over the world
and I've enough on with the wimmins for the next several weeks - 1 more week of freedom then I'm doomed 
my list will come in handy when I do retire I'm sure I was looking at apartments in Klaipėda the other night just out of interest mind

Multistrada passed its MOT. But my luck ran out as the amber generic warning light came on whilst riding home. No obd scanner so managed to book into snells this week for diagnosis.
Hoping it’s something daft like key fob battery running low. In fact might change that now and see if it sorts itself out.

Took the Diavel over to M&S in Newcastle today for a new set of tyres.
It took a while as they were busy and I got there early, but that gave me a chance to have a good look round the showroom. What a fantastic selection of bikes they've got.
Here's a few pics.
The Manx Norton was the most expensive bike there at £25K but a lot of them were vey affordable. The MkIII Guzzi Le Mans was 8K which I didn't think was bad. The Bimota DB2 as far as I could see was brand new and unridden. One for @Exige perhaps. And £12K for a genuine Gold Star anyone?
The yellow gen 1 Triumph Daytona also looked brand new. Can't see it listed on the website so maybe it's sold but if not, for the right price that has investment written all over it.
Worth a visit if you're over that way. They could do with a seating area and a coffee machine and it's in Westgate Road so wear a stab vest or cover yourself in bacon. Otherwise a great place to nose around. Much self control required if you've got your credit card with you.

Bought my Streetfighter S from them new, when they were a main Ducati emporium.
When I fished the bikes out to start them on Sunday, the battery on the Desmo was broken, and only just turning over the bike. 
A quick look online and courtesy of my Halfords trade card from back in my Mordor days (Thanks @Elasticated Trousers), got 35% off a new one.
Came home from work and fitted it this evening. Here she is for those with a penchant for Desmo porn, with her clothes off. She's still mint underneath, even after 15 years.

Does he have kids, if not was he planning too? V2 is well known to get so hot that it makes ya nuts as hot as a boil in a bag meal.
They seemed a pretty good bunch.Bought my Streetfighter S from them new, when they were a main Ducati emporium.
They have this. I'm sorely tempted. I won't do it but it is tempting. Always wanted a classic Brit banger.
It's not completely original. Pipe certainly isnt right but it's classic thudding (and spannering) for very little money.

Rode to Kent today for lunch with sis & brolaw. The ride back this evening was mightly fine. There were roads where there was barely any traffic and I was able to get a move on.
It was like going back forty years in time or maybe travelling to a country that isn't horribly overpopulated.

No & no woman in tow either, at the moment anyway. Funnily enough when he got to our house, which is about 12 miles from Ducati Manchester, he did comment on how hot the seat was !!
Nothing quite like riding in traffic on a 999 with 108 degrees on the display... the inside of my legs to my ballsac is about 98 degreesNo & no woman in tow either, at the moment anyway.

My 996 isn't to bad with the heat, my Indian even with heat shields on the pipes would get stupid hot on my right leg!!Nothing quite like riding in traffic on a 999 with 108 degrees on the display... the inside of my legs to my ballsac is about 98 degrees
I don't know if this works ?

Today i received my new rear tyre and fine tuned the carb on the Enfield. The weather is looking crap for the weekend so will fit the new tyre. I went for a ride out and got caught in a a shower and the carb feels a lot better, it was running rich and fouling the plug, i put a new one in as the other one was fucked!!

Not today but yesterday. Had a bit of good luck from my trips to snells in that the amber generic warning light on the dash was for a blown fuse. Apparently the Bluetooth module, accessory power socket (had been charging my phone) and Sat Nav id wired in to spare point was too much for it. Good to know it wasn’t something serious but will need to find different point for the sat nav if I want to use all 3 at once.
Considering a trip to Spain in Sept so picked up new front brake pads and am oil filter and will grab a battery and oil from Halfords. Will treat my 14year old son to his first bit of bike mechanics this week. Lucky fella!
Oh also popped over to Loomies but no sign of @WAYNE . Assumed he was busy with some percussive maintenance on the Enfield.

I was fine tuning my carb with a Thor 310 copper hammer size 1, more of a delicate touch for the job!!
