The Christmas Thread

I advise against terrapins mate. Have you seen how big those ****ers grow? The size of dinner plates, which is handy as they also eat each other.

I’d like a 1962 Velocette Venom

 

I had terrapins as a kid and they did grow a fair size, its true. If I can't have them, I'll take a tortoise.

Any chance of you getting the VV or do they cost a pretty penny?

 

Peace on earth and an end to hunger and homelessness.

On second thoughts scrap that I want terrapins.

 

My family ruined my xmas idea, I suggested a secret-santa-style thing where everyone nominates 1 thing they want up to £40 and we each get one present.

Now it's a present for everyone for £5 max, and has to come from a charity shop ffs

Worst xmas ever ffs

 

You might get a decent sweater, T

 

Nope I'll just get dead old people shirts, Swanage is great for posh shirts that have never been worn

 

It’s surprising how many vintage British motorcycles are still on the road Ponders, so the cost wouldn’t necessarily be prohibitive.

Could probably get a Triumph Bonneville for less than a grand. Velocette’s are a bit rarer. There’s a few BSA Goldstars knocking about too.

 

Swanage? Had some great holidays there as a kid

 

My father-in-law is a motorcycle nut. He rides a BSA Bantam.

What do you ride?

 

It's a weird place, great pubs though and very calm and peaceful. I'd go mental if I lived there all year round...

Last time I was down I beat one of the local pool player in a pissed up pool game

 

I haven't ridden a bike for years mate. My last two wheeled conveyance was a Honda Fireblade, but I'd be all about chugging along at a sedate pace nowadays. I love old British motorcycles, but I grew up as the industry was on life support due to lack of innovation. Great to see Triumph and Norton back in the game.

My mate had a Bantam around the time we left school in 1976. Sprayed oil everywhere, made a hell of a noise for a 2 stroke though, unlike the Jap hairdryers that were taking over the roads at the time.

 

**** me the Hells Angels are out in force.

Greasy ****s

Happy Birthday, Monny

Are you doing anything nice today?

I don't care if this is the wrong thread. Mon will be looking in soon enough.

 

Thanks Ponders. Nothing really planned. Will do a bit of work then have a couple of pints I suppose.

 

Will you have a special family meal?

 

My mum is over and she will cook tonight. I asked for fish pie, using smoked haddock to give it that extra flavour.

 

Let us lighten mood by discussing Christmas.

And Mon's haddock pie.

Who's first?

 

Have some respect when talking about Patience. Not cool.

 

It ended up being hake and salmon pie. ****ing lovely it was.

 

^^^^^ F.ucks Hake?
