    Morning everyone,
    Had a brilliant day yesterday, about 12 of us went to Southport on our scooters, it was bl**dy freezing, but I still had a grin on my face from ear to ear, aching all over today, I forgot how many different muscles you use when riding a scooter, well it has been 28 years since I went for such a long run. DW loved the run out, plus we had some change to pop into the sealed pot when we got home.

    Good to see you back Sue, the girls have been quite good and not picked on me much while you've been incommunicado.

    Hi Sparky,

    I heard there was an invasion in Southport by the mods Hope Stunty wasn't called out to control you.:rotfl::rotfl:


    BTW Sue is back!!!

    XLC2

    Morning LC2
    Stunty was not required to control us on Sunday, thank you very much indeed :p. We we're very well behaved, and we ate our lunch with a knife and fork ;), it was a great day though :D

    Me on a scooter. Theres a thought! They keep shoving me on a pushbike, thats bad enough!

    Stunty.

    Morning Stunty
    Told my DW about you on a pushbike, and she has a vision of Homer Simpson, dressed as Krusty the Clown on a micro cycle doing a loop the loop at Fat Tony's bar :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:, she asked me not to mention it, but I couldn't resist :D

    Not been on here for a while as I have been away from home studying towards my masters degree.
    My poor pig feels very neglected so I just fed him £10.00.
    Hopefully I can fatten him up in the next week or two.

    (Sparky, I've been in Wellington and Stafford but sadly I didn't find any road kill!)

    Morning DD
    I told you they kept hold of their coinage in Wellington, I was sorely disappointed last time I went there at the lack of road change :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi everybody,

    Hey Sue, good to have you back.

    Have a good one.

  • Morning Peeps,

    A few bits of change added for me over the past few days.

    I am seriously resisting the urge to count it and bank it.

    Morning all £8.49 for me from pockets & bags etc. Not too bad a start, as I only joined this gang at the weekend. I don't have any goal, except to not have to dip into it.
    Keep up the good work
