    Defeated by Nobby Nics!

    You could fit them to a bike and rag them around the woods at too low pressure until the tyre burps and detaches. There is of course the risk of crashing but it might be more fun than wrestling with them on the shed floor😁

    And today I did......

    What did I do today........ Oh yeah I started a new job after 2.5 years unemployment due to my mental health crisis. Unfortunately it's as a Team Member at Burger King, I'm twice as old as the managers and three times older than most of my fellow team members 🤣 Ah well its only part time but...

    Festive Frolics 2021 - Aftermath and pics
