Anyone running it?

If so, are you seeing layout issues on this site?

If caught they should be charged with wilful wounding and thoughtless discharge of dangerous materials. Scum fks!

Like Jaime after a lamb naga 🤢

Since Tiffins got raided for the last time, I've been unsuccessful in a search for another decent naga.  There tend to just be heated up like Phals, which is kinda pointless after the first sniff.  Tiffins one was really spicy but probably not that hot, think Madras levels, but really flavoursome spiced.

I'm now called Gutted of Brakkers.

Did someone mention curry? hmmm, CURRY!

The fact folk think the names of curies donate the heat, that is just a British restaurant thing. Korma means slow cooked in a pan, Dum is cooked in a sealed pot, A genuine Vindaloo has no chillies in it just mustard seeds and vinegar. You can have a hot Korma , just depends how much chilli or cayenne pepper goes in. I cook my own curries from scratch and I have the spices  ,oils and seeds to do it as well as 10 recipe books. My sisters fault for buying me a pan and cook book for Christmas one year!!

Yeah, very British, especially the curry/bhuna/madras/vindaloo type "heats".  I have enough friends from that part of the world that I get to enjoy authentic cuisine , though it tends to be a tad dry for me and a crave for the sauces!

Not got time today, but having seen some of the scenery on the way here will definitely bring the tin tent down to spend a few days exploring 👍

Can't think of any campsites around there, but anywhere along the ridge between Chickenshit Canyon (M40 cutting) to Dunstable Downs will give you access to nice wooded hills with stunning views, and mostly dog friendly.

. 

Saw one near Ivinghoe on the way through looks quite a nice spot as well.

Yup, nice places around there - Marsworth Reservoirs and the canals, Pitstone Windmill, Albury village (used for loads of TV shows). And only a stone throw from Halton . Also, a stones throw from the site of the great train robbery

Apparently 19:15 is an acceptable time to go to bed...

Quietly contemplating another two margaritas and pizza

breakimg kids these days... No stamina whatsoever.

I only made it to around 9:45 last night before needing sleep - it had been a long, frustrating, tedious day of achieving nothing

My 03 Desmond did allow the pedal trick, a couple of other.cars that I worked on

99% certain it didn't work on Tunnie's 2.2 or AA's 2.2, hence they needed tech2.  Tunnie's was definately on the latest firmware available for his engine ECU....

Maybe there are some odd variants about

Well I've always been suspicious that my mobile is essentially a tracking device

Both Android and iOS do track, and can provide you with a map of where you have been today/this week/month/year/forever

Obviously any cellular phone operator can broadly track you by cell.

He doesn't deserve a prison sentence.Like all such people he deserves either a bullet or a length of rope with a nice loop at the end of it.

Inmates would ensure he would have had a tough life in there.  Most prisoners have some standards, and nonces ain't tolerated.

He'd have been segregated with the other nonces under rule 43.

I think how segregated might depend on his the screws think he needs a good kicking....

Oh, and scrap the drive to Combe Hill, HS2 have closed the road long term as well for their pointless money pit. Not sure if a footpath is available, as it used to be along the side of the road at the point HS2 are causing distress and misery.

If you want to drive around to it, grab out Google Maps and look for Coombe Hill Monument just East of Butlers Cross .  Be aware that HS2 do tend to randomly close roads without notice though.

Daniels Trudge which is opposite the "In" drive to Wendover Woods (but I get a feeling the carpark is closed now)

Just looked on Google Maps, its marked as Aston Hill Bike Park and Aston Martin plaque.

Aylesbury

My childhood home.  Bit of a shithole now, sadly.

Where in Aylesbury?

I guess the actual ceremony will be on the parade ground up the hill on the camp.

.

Yes at RAF Halton.

Bloody brilliant. Went there for my best mate many moons ago. Massove respect from us three!

I went to school there, so our mission was always to try to get them in trouble.  This played out into later life, when we all used to bait the on camp mod plod.
