Well, whale, wheel, we've made it to Buxton in one piece!!
Traffic was absolutely horrendous on the M42 and M6 before the toll section, but once we were past that and into the Peak District area it was just sublime scenery!!!
Have a picture of Ivor parked outside the Old Hall Hotel.
Have a good night ladies and gentlemen.

With the rotating blades attachment on the handlebars, I see. Capital, capital.
Thats for the solar power electric upgrade, optional extra Turbo and Bluetooth entrainment. Only deployed up hills and when no one is around.

Have a great time Bobbers and anyone else attending The Brassington.

I look forward to seeing pics, especially if you get the Trivial Tenuous Link picture wink

I came to a realisation today, I genuinely don't know ANY Taylor Swift songs!
My Daughter didn't believe me, so played some Swift songs...nope. It was the first time I have heard them.
My expert review...totally generic 'music' that I won't be rushing out to buy on Vinyl any time soon.

I'm 51...I think?

Mrs H and I just watch Barbie. Funny in places but a bit unusual.

1 What every day thing is powered by radio waves?

I didn't put it in the Pequod Memorial Quiz because, firstly I'm not certain I have the description correct and, secondly, there may be other thing powered by radio waves. So it wasn't an ideal question.

When the BBC started broadcasting on long wave, they received complaints about poor signal. When they plotted the addresses of the complaints on a map, they found there was a triangle pointing towards Ally Pally. It was so accurate they were able to pinpoint a house at the apex of the triangle. The householder had set up a receiver so big he could power the lights in his house.

Good innit? Your card doesn't have a battery but needs power to fire up its chip. The aerial runs round near the edge of the card and draws power from the card reader.

Similar, but in my experience the trebuchet is not the hit man's weapon of choice.

Truth time, I really liked Shake it off, until the vicious bh started being a serial shagger and then using the break ups to to create songs to make herself famous.

Good evening you lovely lot.

We've had a fabulous evening gathered here in Buxton, the 5 of us met up in the Whine Bar, no I didn't type that wrong, it really is called the Whine Bar, where we have enjoyed great company, good food and a few drinks!!!

The Brassington is due to commence at approximately 1000hrs in the car park outside the Old Hall Hotel, and follow an approximately 90 mile route.

Lamont Dozier was doing that for Motown around the time of the Boer War. Get a new girlfriend, break up with her, write a hit song.

I have never heard Ms Swifts voice.
But I have seen her likeness in the papers.
Why does she go to work in a swimming costume?
Does she expect to get wet?
