    Open to interpretation this one Ernie?

    Are we to assume the top was yours?

    Fortunately the matching sparkly hot pants survived and are still worn by Ernest on high days and holidays and at Pride gatherings.

    Just bought a bloody bike on a Gilbert Baitson auction for £100 plus vat and fees and then realised its not what I thought it was and I've probably paid more than the thing is worth second hand.

    Did manage to get a lovely Cube bike though for a bargain price of £190 plus vat and fees, a swingball set for the garden and a great set of pans. Still well up on the deal.

    Not a surprising advert given that only 23% of Tower Hamlets is white British, but that's another can of halal worms. :emoticon-0138-think


    The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.

    Inspired from another thread.

    "Doggo"

    Also "Pupper", but it gets more of a pass as the people that say it tend to be isolated underground

    It's a cross race. Really nice to ride. I've never had something like this, I was actually very shocked when I first took it out just how comfortable it was to ride. I've very much got the bug now.

    I've got a Cube e-bike, very nicely put together, the frame welds are the best I've ever seen on a mass produced bike.

    I brought it home on my roof bars. I might get one of those things that go on the back of the Discovery to stand it on in case I want to take it camping but otherwise I probably won't need to transport it. I will just ride it to where I want to go!

    The media over egging stuff. Today the bank of England slashed interest rates, down to 4%.

    It's come down by 0.25% it's the smallest % change that could have been made. It's not slashed.

    state of dentistry in this country.
    had a check up yesterday, they are monitoring a crown i have which may one day need repairing.
    was told if i did i would have to pay private as the dentists there dont do crowns NHS anymore, along wiht most other stuff
    i said what about you i assumed you were a dentist, as you are looking in my mouth, she wasnt a full dentist- just a half dentist ( cant remember the exact term)
    been going to same dentist for over 20 years , but now need anything doing looking at thick end of a grand...:emoticon-0112-wonde

    I think it's more blatant than that!

    I pay a monthly Denplan it’s not cheap but crowns and caps are included ‘except’ lab work to make the item . My guy has almost retired but he still comes in and does the difficult stuff like root canals , many of the new ones aren’t trained to do them - difference between a ‘fitter’ and a mechanic or engineer I think .
