I got my RC flight simulator working again, it would not work under windows 10, I was going to throw it away,but doing a bit of a search and pressing a few buttons it working again.
I wouldn't mind having a go at the real thing.....well the RC models that is, but all the clubs in my area are closed due to the said virus...........roll on next year
.
Last night my daughter phoned me (yes the one that doesn't talk to me) crying that her step dad had died of a heart attack, what the hells that got to do with me, maybe she thought I was dead as well.
I thought he was younger than me, but it turns out we were the same age.

Maybe she’ll make an effort to stay in touch more now?I got my RC flight simulator working again, it would not work under windows 10, I was going to throw it away,but doing a bit of a search and pressing a few buttons it working again.

That's what we call a spoiler! (Unless you are the only person here who cares...Oh wow, St Johnstone are beating Hibs 3-0 at the moment!
)I'm not a footie fan, but if we do actually get a cycling season this year could we please avoid pro cycling spoilers because I usually don't watch races until some time later, sometimes a day or two!

Can’t see anyone on here being interested in St Johnstone. Lol. However, Flick being from Edinburgh might be a Hibs supporter?That's what we call a spoiler! (Unless you are the only person here who cares...

I don't support any particular football teams as I think it is most business than sport. Amateur football I could go along with but professional, no. I do admit a slight bias towards St Johnstone on the basis that I used to, when travel was allowed, drive past their ground quite often and they are not one of the massive clubs so perhaps more genuine supporters of the club from the area.

I used to watch the big races when I had a telly but actually spent most of my time looking at the scenery.That's what we call a spoiler! (Unless you are the only person here who cares...

When I was a young I enjoyed various drugs and later probably drank to excess although now I do neither since I need whatever brain is left. I did replace these addictions with bicycling and rotate through 7 of them as the weather or my whims require. I have some more that could be made rideable in an hour or so. I bring this up to warn you, PaulSB, that you are on a slippery slope. Curb your obsession now or you will find you don't own them, they own you. Who knows what's next....a tadpole, a penny farthing, a frankenbike, perhaps a unicycle or a folder. Next you will lurking in dark corners ready to mug old ladies so you can buy a $100 Connex chain or a belt drive Bike Friday Pakit.

I WAS wondering... [Search to remind myself who Elkie Brooks is] Ah, yes. She has kept pretty fit-looking!For those that might be wondering. It was Elkie Brooks.
I got back into cycling after watching the 1989 Tour de France on Channel 4, and it was 50% the scenery that I was looking at!

Nope, I don’t follow football at all. If I did I would be tempted to support the team that was formed from a dance quadrille and named after the cell where the condemned were held before the gallows

I've tried a Penny Farthing*, own a unicycle, and now have a quadricycle to go along with the bikes.
*Trial ride in normal traffic in Shipley. Ellis Briggs had one they let me try. Got plenty of room on the road, but this area isn't really suited to them.
