hi gtr's ... quick one for you's just went into the garage to unwrap my zzr and take it out .as i dont get much time and it is an excellent day up here in tyneside so i have to grab it while i can.pulled out the bike and found loads of ants walking across the garage floor some with wings. all heading outside,put loads of powder down and sprayed them,all dead and gone inside the garage.i have noticed some ant activity outside but when i looked at the pavements they seemed to be loads of the little shits.must have something to do with the hot weather to-day? just wondering is it only us up here in the north east that seems to be getting plagued with ants this year or has anyone else noticed them in your area.
anyway went out for a blast any hitchikers would have been well blown off, cheers keith.
No I dont have any problems with ants in my garage and I'm only a tad further south than you. However I did find a toad in my garage only last week. I think we get toads as we have a pond in the rear garden.
No ants down here in the soufff ....
they are japanese stow-aways from the kawasaki factory :mfr_lol:
Hungry Killer Ants then ? :mfr_lol:

+1, what a miserable weekend. Oh well we can look forward to the autumnal storms now, followed by another hard winter just to round the year off nicely. :hammer: :hammer: :hammer:
Indeed .... prepare yourselves for another very cold winter .... so they say ... make sure those heated grips are working and get out there and buy yourself a heated waistcoat / top NOW .. before they run out of stock ! :smiley:

:mfr_lol: :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol:
Or alternatively especially for the southern softies if it's going to be cold just toughen up a bit. You don't hear us northerners bleating about how cold it might get. :mfr_lol:
Oh ... it's like that is it ? :mfr_lol:
Go on Steve you tell um, the southern shandy drinking nancy boys. I think they should man up, and learn to be as tough as nails like wot we are. Must dash I need to put my hot water bottle in :mfr_lol:.

Where there's no sense, there's no feeling. :banana:
It's just not worth the effort ! :mfr_lol:
Almost choked on my Chablis........Premier Cru from North Burgundy 2006, hint of floral bouquet over apricots and melon at £19.99 a large glass....... for you Southerners.....
Almost choked on my White wine...... for you Northerners
well you just wouldn't understand !

EB ... You'll have to start all over again ... they won't have a clue what "wine" is let alone "Premier Cru" .... just tell them it's like beer ( it contains alcohol ) and watch them smile ...... simple folk. :grin: :grin:
Rusty,
t'up North they probably think wine is the noise their gear box makes.....or whippet makes when it's chained to the lamp post outside of LIDL.....
I was going to say ....wife makes.....but thought better of it. :rolleyes:

There's nowt wrong with a drop of brown ale to wash down the growler and mushy peas.
Brilliant ! :smiley:
Blimey, talk about a common people seperated by a common language....down here in the Souf a Growler certainly ain't a Pork Pie, LONEWOLF
But having one for lunch would brighten any day ! :banana:
A Growler has the same meaning up north.
Must be a Bratfud thing......
:huh: a growler is a pork pie, always has been and always will be. Never heard it used in any other context before.
Trust me Steve, a Growler is something totally not a pork pie :yes:
Well I dont know about you but I'm quite partial to eating growlers.
:nono: :mfr_lol:
A few years ago
A few years ago I ate a Chinese Growler, mind you I fancied another one about an hour later.... :rolleyes:
These days though, at my age I can hardly manage 2 Growlers a week, let alone 2 a night. :ohplease:
Stop it you norty boys. !
