Bloke goes to the doctor in agony, whips his trousers off and there's a lettuce leaf sticking out of his rear end.

Doctor: 'You feeling pain anywhere else, apart from up near your arsehole?'

Bloke: 'I'll say so Doc, that's just the tip of the iceberg'.

Ulez wasnt in the kings speech so is it enforcable - a kick in the goolies for SK?

Your next election will be interesting.

Battle of Right wing which cannot control immigration and unloved on here or left wing …….also unloved on here.

Bit like Spain - in absolute deadlock. Far right want less rights for women, animals and so on , far left want to pardon the traitors that held an independence  referendum plus other woke nonsense.

Well ideally I do but we are thinking of selling up and downsizing and moving to Northern Spain.

Maybe a Fiat Panda 4x4………… I am already missing tooling about. I will go and see what the local garage has. Nissan Patrol? I draw the line though at any Of the old Santana produced Land Rovers.

More correctly Cewe.

I keep seeing adverts for them on uk tv. Thought who would name their company that? Maybe aimed at the older generation. It is a German company

A good friend towed my wreck from the olive grove to our property yesterday.

The damage is far worse than I had seen once it was removed from the tree!  Both front doors deformed. One front wheel with zero clearance to rear of wheel arch. Amazingly the engine started and would run but exhaust  broken somewhere. Gear lever in neutral but box in a gear to rear axle.

So dragged it backwards home with engine off Turning was a challenge.

Couldnt even get the bonnet open. Definitely 100% a write off.

The search for a replacement run around starts. Something like a golf . I did see a s/h UTV Can Am Maverick for sale but common sense and all that………

He is probably remembering washing machines with one or less cycles that lasted twenty or more years…..

I agree.

No harm in a peaceful protest but there is a time and a place. Nowadays it is all about maximum impact for minimal input. A downside of a free democratic society.

Ha, you haven’t googled enough!

Discarding  a trip or a tribe, there are multiple references to herd and flock.

Eg https://app.leg.wa.gov/wac/default.aspx?cite=16-89-010#:~:text=%22Flock%22%20means%20a%20number%20of,and%20commercial%20sheep%20and%20goats.

I prefer flock only because I can legitimately call the local goat keepers goat flockers! They are actually nice people.

I got picked up on a forum for referring to a large number of wild goats I had seen and described them as a herd . No the person said. Flock of goats.

Well it turns out that it can be either. Didn’t  bother to correct her but I have taken great delight in calling neighbours who have a 100 domestic goats “ goat flockers” instead of the previous term of “goat herders”. Little things…..

I just assume these vaguaries ( is that even a word?) come as standard with all things electronic.

Internet routers, ups’s fit bits,  Nothing ever seems to work properly all of the time.

Or at least think so. The Vitara is still embedded in a tree. Lots of panel damage and front left wheel has moved back a few inches.

I stopped in an olive grove to chat with a neighbour. Got out to help with irrigation. Next thing he said “ your car”. I hadnt put the handbrake on. Duh. He had time to get in and put handbrake on but didnt. By the time I got to the door , it was really on the move downhill. I made the decision to not risk . About a hundred yards on down a slope it slammed into a tree and stopped dead.

Tuesday I have a friend with tractor coming to drag it home  half a mile. Then I can figure out what to do. Scrap yards offer 100 euros for cars delivered! Or collect for free………

I am gutted as I use it two or three times every day, including off road.

All a far cry from our day when hot topics were non sober coloured socks and cap worn wrong way round. 

I do still give anyone wearing a cap wrong way round a wide berth. So far it has served me well!
