Cheers Penguin,
Hearing about your cat yesterday brought it back about losing my English Setter, Henry 6 months ago. He was 11, so pretty old, but it still felt wrong.
Still sense him up at thewoods where I walked him, just be nice if he visisted home occasionally!! Sentimental old git, sorry.
Lighten up! Seen the news? Three months jail for sex-on-the-beach?....he,ll get a lot more sex in the showers now....

I've nothing against motorbikes but would be worried if I heard my 13 yr old was riding around on one too. wouldn't like him driving around in a car at that age either! Depends if he's with friends and their parents are there and they have proper gear though... but the kids round here on the minimotos don't seem to bother.Mortgage OP 2026 £350/2000Mortgage OP 2025 £7700/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

I was cross because I didnt know thats what he was up to he told me he was just going to his friends house and maybe they would go on his quad bike on the farm.
I dont mind him doing boy stuff but I like to be in a little bit of control to make sure he is not going anywhere dangerous and that he has all the safety equipment.
He said that he only went slow around the field and that he was wearing a helmet.:rolleyes:But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0
