ha ha snod does have his uses sometimes! He can fetch me rocks, I can turn his k around for him, together we can do anything :p

and it was very very nice whiskey! I had never had whiskey before that weekend!

I did try to persuade Snod that separating the frame from the engine was a relatively easy job but I don't think he was convinced.

Well we will let him try get the FJ engine out of the frame, then he will appreciate easy.

Hmm - you might be disappointed by the next lot, especially if you ask for whisk(e)y in a pub. I confess to being a bit of a whisk(e)y snob and that Tyrconnel was very nice. One of the better 10-year old malts I've had.

Whisky = Scots
Whiskey = Irish

I had a good run home. One of the the crew on the ferry recognised me from Thursday's crossing and very helpfully got me the fried breakfast I'd so been looking forward to, even though breakfast serving was long finished. I then slept the rest of the crossing, only to be woken up at the very last moment to pay my food bill. You can't beat that for service - well done Irish Ferries.

I think we'll draw a veil over the next bit, except to say that I got home from Dublin port in eighty minutes and it's a good job there were no Guards on the motorway...

Midleton Reserve......its worth it. Had to buy it for myself.

This is going to be my next treat: http://www.oldpulteney.com/old-pulteney-whisky/1990-vintage-single-malt/

I'm currently very slowly drinking a bottle of 14-year old Balvenie https://uk.thebalvenie.com/

that top one is older than me! Im a 1991 :p

Ha ha yay! Does that mean you are getting me some for my birthday then? :p

Olaf - I'm not buying any more cheap wallets for these scams!

Those bottles are very small for their age. I migrated to Bourbon a few years back and I refuse to wash my bike in it as I would then get strange looks whilst licking it!

As regards those pics, It looks bloody frosty on the camp site and although a keen campist (as Clarkson would say) I will have to stick to +10c in future due to health considerations. Whose ever mattress deflated must have woken up stiff and cold, unless they had the sense to put a foil blanket underneath the mattress.

By chance I just stumbled on this thread. The 60th anniversary Dragon has been (re)scheduled for the second weekend of Feb 2022 (Omicron permitting).

I read that the Swallow Falls Hotel has been sold (and closed for refurb).

What a blast from the past..

I never did fix that clutch

Snod, just re read the thread. It is the essence of Dragon world. I’ve only done two 
(and its beginning to look like 2022 won’t go ahead either). I’ll be 70 for 2023 so fingers crossed. At least with the outfit, I don’t need rocks fetching .
