Chimay thread MK1V

They don't come from a government department. And they're usually
dreaded, aren't they?

They don't? When was it privatised?

Pshaw. Details.

I'm sorely tempted... but... I'm concerned it might not make it. After
all, it is quite old. I think it's older than Champ.

However it started happily enough today after being sat in the garage
for a week and a bit. It's only done about 300 miles since a complete
engine rebuild (apparently) and I've fitted a new footpeg rubber.

Just got to work out how to strap the tent and sleeping bag onto it and
I guess I'm ready to tour Europe...

Not *that* old, surely?

Blimey. Did they even make bikes in those days?

Well, what are you waiting for? Have at it man!

Quite so.

Those that are staying Sunday night, what's the plan ?
Canvas or l' otel ?

I bet the lass at the bakery/caff doesn't think we're that civilised,
the way we abused the bog, the other year...

 

It's gonna be like Piccadilly Circus this year. At least no-one need
worry about getting a cold seat.

You're late, WUN got there first.

Is a NIP likely to be "eagerly-anticipated"?

 

I haven't had one for quite some time[0], but they come from the
appropriate constabulary, don't they? They're not a government
department, are they?


[0] Crosses fingers.

 

Get a less-pikey news server. Or do what I do, and use three.

Surely the usual aim is *not* collecting them?

 

Ewww!!

I much prefer cold...

 

No, my news swerver does that.

Actually, now you mention it, AndrewR's got one of his on his garage wall

 

Only a matter of time before Loz joins this thread and trumps the lot of
you. Sad bastards that you all are.

 

Point of order: it's not just a bakery/caff. It sells Belgian choccies
and good Chimay beer as well. In fact, everything necessary for human
life.

Have you rung them to tell them that they are about to be invaded by a
mob from ukrm? They should up their stock holdings of "essentials".
including toilet paper by the sounds of things.

 

You seem top have the drugs covered, partially at least

but what about the sex and rock 'n roll?

Heh. Good plan. They've got one tiny unisex bog in the place, and last
year - or maybe the year before - after we'd all rendered it
uninhabitable, this chic Belgian lady wandered in and came shooting out
immediately, face screwed up in disgust.

Dodger's dump, I reckon.

Point of fucking order, Mr Chairman.

I have never set foot in that facility.
