Ron gets some T.L.C.

Well it looks like our Phil has at last got the hang of this thing!! Ok maybe not as well as he would like but its a start as they say. Still got no idea how to change letter types or colours so its just this for now.

Over the last couple of months we have sort of neglected Ron our car as we have been on the bikes as much as possible. Well today he got a treat. Full clean inside and out. All levels checked and a good check all over. He will be 5 years old in Jan next year but has just clocked 20K today. 4000 mls a year is not a lot but we do a few on the bikes dont forget.

Bike season is drawing to an end im sorry to say. We ride for pleaure(fun) so cold and wet are not part of the deal.

Having another go! (at this thing)

As you can see we(more like i..thats Phil by the way) are still trying to sort this bloody thing out! I guess as i have never used Office or anything like it this is all new to me(ish)

It’s like my mobile phone i guess. Can do lots of stuff that i am not going to use often if ever. Ok so maybe it’s an age thing( i am 54) but anyone who knows me will tell you the last thing i do is act my age.

What ever happened to the very important words “user friendly”…..lol.

But im going to keep going and will not let this thing beat me (god i sound like a right old git) So lets see if i can put a pic on here……….how about my Mrs. Enjoying a drink at our new local (its always been our closest pub but we have avoided it like the plague) Too many tossers use it…..lol

Dont ask me what happened to the pic? I clicked on “add an image” and did all the right stuff?

OH YEH!!!!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Who’s your daddy!!…lol…SORTED!!!

Ok MSN maybe i/we will stick with it. But only because Facebook can be so crap at times….lol

As you can tell by how long its been between blogs we aint impressed with this new set up.

This used to be great and easy to use but now its bloody mind blowing. Well done MS on yet another cock up. Remember Vista?  Thank god fow windows 7.

Happy Octember…lol

  • Yeh ok so it’s October. I have a strange sence of humour ok?
  • As you can see i am still getting use to the “WordPress”.  I guess it is really good but it will take me a while to find that out. Just incase you didnt know once you get to a certain age new tech(infact any tech) becomes difficult….lol
  • But i do have an advantage. My wife and best mate is a lot younger than me and she is my own personal I.T. consultant. For example we have just upgraded our mobiles to Samsung Galaxy 19000 which i would have avoided like the plague. But with her guidance i am very pleased with my new phone which is very easy to use and has a big screen. It also does loads of stuff im never even going to attempt to use but it comes with the package.
  • Getting back to the title of todays blog October is a good month for us. On the 6th we will have been married for 4 years. How she has put up with me for that long i just dont know…lol. But being serious i dont know how i every managed without her.
  • Anyway i will try and improve my skill on this thing and attempt to put a few pics on ect.
  • Wish me luck…….i may need it….lol

So This Is It!! The New Improved MSM…………………………..mmmmmmmmmm

I think the expression last past the post seems to sum up what we feel about this. Having started blogging on MSN a few years back we have watched other social networks catch up and pass. We use facebook quite a lot but when it comes to a any sort of serious Blog you guys here still have the edge.

Just a shame you dont make your site a little more user friendly a while back. There was nothing wrong with it in the first place until you “upgraded it”

We dont know a single person who thought there was anything wrong with this site 2 years plus ago.

Finger crossed…………………………….

It Really Is A Very Small World

Phil went down town to the post office today to post two items that we had infact sold on Ebay.
One going to Greece and the other to PeruOpen-mouthed smile
It really is such a small worldAngel
 

We still cant get our heads around the fact that you can buy something from another country. Get it posted to you and it still being cheeper than the same thing from a local supplyer!!

Having said that A.O.L. our broadband suppler offer us a far better deal that B.T. even using B.T,s line!! Whats going on??

A Nice Relaxing Sunday

Sunday was a very nice chill out day.
We had arranged with mom that as long as it was not raining we would be at her place about 11.0am to take Susie (the woof) for a walkDog face
The weather was dry so we arrived at the agreed time and took a very happy dog for her walk.Smile
Then we headed to The Foresters and our Sunday dinnerSmile with tongue out
We were infact the first customers in the place.
After dinner we headed to Kinver and a bric-a-brac fare at the community centre.
We do love having a mooch and you never know what you may find.
Phil brought a couple of Cigarette card books.
Both full and in very good condition for what was a really good price.
Radio Celebrities series 1 and 2. 1934- 38
It was nice to see quite a few names that we knew from our 78rpm records.
Mom brought her self some earingsOpen-mouthed smile and we had an interesting hour or so.
We spent the rest of the afternoon back at moms.
Mom and Phil finished off a bottle of red wine and we had a very chilled out afternoon indeedHot smile
After tea we all watched The X Factor before Phil and i went home around 7.30 ish.
A nice relaxing Sunday.

A Good Bike Day

After what had seemed like a really long time we at last got out on the bikes yesterday.
The weather was good to us if not a little on the cold side later on in the day.
We were pleased we had chosen to wear or textile yellow jackets and not our leather ones.
Phil and i called in to see my mom on the way to Wolverhampton and B.C.M Training.
It had been a while since we had seen our friends there.
Kev and Steve were hard at it (training) and Carl arrived with a group of trainees after about an hour.
I got talked into making the coffeeOpen-mouthed smile and we had a good chat and put the biking world to right.
Since the new test can into force in early 2009 the number of people coming through the training centres has dropped dramatically.
The test is a lot harder than it ever used to be.
 
We then headed to Halesowen and Street Bike as we had arranged to meet Rachael and Ian there.
Rachael wanted to buy silk liners for her gloves( inner gloves that fit inside )
Kayley was tempted to part chop her bike for a Honda….lol
Then it was what is the almost compulsory trip to the Bridgnorth Bike Cafe for a little light refreshmentSmile
Yeh ok a cheese burger and chipsWink with a mug of tea.
 
We ended up riding back to Rachael and Ians place in Great Barr for a drink before heading home as it started to get dusk.
It was just after 7.00pm when we arrived back at moms. We got her to take a pic as we had not taken any except for the one at Street Bike.
It had been a good bike day!!!
