aint life a bitch
sitting here on my own, in my caravan, in the lakes, overlooking ullswater [thanks gareth ].
swmbo gone home cos she's working!
a muddied d3 sitting outside from a days off-roading with other D3 crew [hi guys].
only got a bottle of Laphroaig [cask strenght], few bottles of yellow label and a case of stella to keep me company.
got a fixed bed to fall into [before traversing helvellyn tomorrow]
why do i have all the bad luck? I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

just don't forget to unhook the caravan before traversing Helvellyn I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

ian,if you've got a d3 - you don't 'clog up' the highways - FULL STOP!
it's all these other slow b'strds [in nissan micra's] that do it in front of you!
I've never, never, had a queue behind me when towing a caravan, except when there was a slower vehicle in front of me.
you cann't take them to the top of mountains, seemingly - but helvellyn tomorrow will tel.I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

Actually Ron, just thinking about this, if you can get a D3 and caravan to the top of Helvellyn i reckon you would be nailed on to get yourself in the 2010 calendar I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.
