Excellent way to sign off for Christmas. And as I'm traveling around for much of today (as are many others) I'll take this opportunity to wish everyone here a very merry and relaxing Christmas or in Gerard's case Joyeux Noel.

Happy Christmas all!

My weekend has involved our heating system which is starting to go temperamental again. I think it has loosened up another lump of crud in the pipes and rads somewhere.

Only last week I mentioned to a neighbour (with the same micro bore piping) how good it had been to get the system filtered. I thought at the time I might be tempting fate.

Friendly plumber has loaned me the chemical filtering system again so I'll connect it all up shortly. Had hoped to be able to leave it until Tuesday or Wednesday but ...

Would much prefer to be car shuffling. I'll be getting some stick for not taking some stuff to the local recycling place as planned for this week.

That it is Christmas and other matters have arisen to disrupt plans is unlikely to be accepted as a good reason for the the change of plan.

C'est la vie.

Have a good one everybody.

That’s a great pic, but must have been taken years ago......


Happy Christmas, Joyeux Noel, Feliz Navidad, Frohe Weihnachten or whatever it is in your main language, to all tenthers, whether familiar faces or not.

Have a good one and keep safe, please.

It was obviously either very fogg, orheavy snow whan the picture was taken, so I'll say anywhere, it doesn't matter, you can't see anything!
I've done consecutive Sainsburys runs for the last two mornings, so hopefully we will now be able to last the whole 36 hours that the supermarkets are closed.
Merry Christmas everyone, and yes, that does include you too Baub!
VIVA GT is online now

Human behaviour is amusing at times- from the queue this morning (when I was trying to get past), you’d think the local branch was closing down for a month!

Just think how much busier it would be if everyone wasn't broke, struggling, just managing, etc etc....

I popped into my local Carrefour for some bread & cheese with no problems at all, which I then enjoyed together with some Adnams Beer chutney for lunch!

You're lucky.

You should pop round to VIVA's place - sounds like he's got more than enough since he's been to Sainsbury's twice. Could be of course that he's expecting Baub for lunch.

It was, even though it was blue cheese & not Cornish. The Adnams chutney comes highly recommended (as does their beer!).

A Very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to one & all on here (and yes... even Baub!).

I shouldn't ask because we have two nice Yorkies at home!

Mike, the story about Chapman and Le Mans makes me uncomfortable to say the least. Our local competitors' attitude supported by the organiser has been unfair. The obstinacy of some to use the Panhard flat twin, pathetic and asthmatic under its 750 cc form, can't explain this attitude. At least Rédélé used a 4 cylindre engine which, combined with numerous cars, good and reliable drivers and a very good aerodynamic gave the results he got. Honestly what could a Panhard engine do against a Climax? The best flat twin mods I ever saw was 2 Manx heads on it. But it was almost impossible to keep the crank inside its case!
Gerard, a little anecdote for you regarding Yorkshire Pudding -

The daughter of a friend of mine here has a French boyfriend, & the first time he was treated to an English Sunday roast at her home, he went home & told his mother all about Yorkshire Pudding. She was horrified & told him he must never go there again - she is a dog-lover & someone in the past had evidently rather naughtily told her that Yorkshire Pudding was made from Yorkshire Terriers!

She has now been convinced that is not true & they are all friends.

Joyeux Noel et Bonne Annee!

John, you must know that when we go to certain chinese restaurant here, the boss laughs at our Yorkies and proudly says: "Ho, you brought your dinner with! This kind of dogs in my country we eat them! "
Another weird story about this particular race is that they were used in coal mines with a candle on the head to detect any undesirable gaz. I can't believe it of course.

Have a Merry Christmas all! Love and fun.

So many clues in that photo....

I’m thinking it has to be a regular HSCC circuit, so that narrows it down to one of eight..... or possibly not.

Brands Hatch?
