What's Boiling Your Pi$$ Today?

Scrappy

Weather forecast!! 🤬 After having shite weather most of the weekend, this evening looked clear and bright, so I checked the forecast and that said bugger all chance of any rain tonight, so got the bike out and a few miles from home it starts raining. The rain wasn't so bad, but the thing that really pissed me off was the local farmers around here all seem to have been out muck spreading this weekend, and the roads I chose to ride were literally covered in shit! Thanks to the rain (that wasn't supposed to be) this was now wet shit, which made it slippy (thank you traction control), and like a magnet to both my bike and me... both covered in it! :poop::mad:

I mainly agree HS.
But a lot of it isn't the LGBTQ's themselves.
It's caused by the leftie pricks that like to fight their corner for them. Whether they want it fighting for them, or not! 😏
It’s a bizarre bun fight that absorbs very few but sucks in plenty. 😳

The thing is, if you separate out LGBTQI you get LGB who share relatively common ground and TQI who are somewhat different. The former are maybe 1.8% of the population if self declared census returns are to be believed…. maybe a smidgen higher if you count gay men sadly (for them and their deceived wives) living a heterosexual lie. However, the TQI bit is something like 1/10th of 1% but you’d never know it from the hullabaloo of others parading their virtue. They also include people who by common consent have essentially psychiatric rather than physical conditions.

When all this personal sh1t hits the political fan you end up with bizarre stooshies where gay people fall out because transitioning men impinge on female rights. In Scottish politics the issues of the moment are:

Where’s Peter, the missing money and when did he last see his ‘wife’ (which one)?
Why does Patrick Harvie hate Joanna Cherry?

Needless to say there’s minimal heterosexual involvement. It beggars belief given the scale and seriousness of other issues on the table that affect everyone rather than identity politics.

I smelled something hot while riding to work the other night and couldn't figure out what it was. I went home after work and didn't smell it again so I forgot about it. I figured it out last night.

I melted my damned boot on the exhaust pipe. Lol.

Heat up the exhaust again & use a piece of soft wood to scrape off the big bits Ron.
Let it cool down then use isopropyl alcohol (nail polish remover) for the more stubborn bits. Then WD40 to finish the job.
Then don't put your big hooves on the exhaust again 🙂

Apparently he has such a strong following. There have been calls for YouTube to close down his channel.
Typical eh! 😏
Whilst our leftie friends can write folk like Alex off as right wing, fringe lunatics. Their YouTube channels can stay. However, once it becomes impossible to hide the fact that his views are echoed by the average man/woman in the street.
All of a sudden the channel has to go! 🙄

I took a piece of the rear heat shield which was all bent up and made this. Hopefully it protects my damned boot.
Just realised why your feet made me strangely nostalgic. Boat shoes! It used to be my habit to buy a pair of Dexter’s boat shoes whenever I ventured across the Pond. They were made in Maine, as I recall, and incomparably better than Salvadorean Timberlands or CCP (Cheap Chinese Pumps). Sadly they were middle market and went bust about 2001 after many British shoe makers had suffered a similar fate.

I Ronnie of I Ronnies, Jez resides in the residual heart of quality footwear where, if you can afford them, profit is still to be made. I bet he wears Tricker’s loafers!

We need to more consciously support domestic production.

I have a pair of Church's brogues.
When I got them in 1995, they had an rrp of over £400 🥴

However, a mates wife (sadly no longer alive 😔) worked in the quality control dept. Shoes would get rejected for the most ridiculous reasons i.e. marks that could easily be picked up on the first day they were worn.
Staff could purchase those "rejects" for £35.
I couldn't find a single minuscule mark on the pair she got me.
Her reply to my confusion was..."Don't forget that I decide what gets rejected! 😉"...

I still have them & they still look/feel great 🙂

Here's what looks like the same shoes at todays prices 😳

Love Church's shoes, and also a bit of a Loakes fan. Still made in Northants I believe.
