The trick is to go straight at every roundabout.......they do end eventually.

I lived in Milton Keynes for two years, before I learnt to drive. It may be a nightmare for drivers...... but it's an amazing place for cyclists! Plus it's very green and very clean. I kinda still miss it, it felt like living in The Truman Show.

It is a surreal place Ducky and yes incredibly clean.  Its just that all the roads look alike.

Chavs with pasty fat arms covered in tattooes, sporting heaving muffin tops and baggy leggings.  That's one of most unbearable sights in THIS country! 

I was just wondering where you'd been lately! Good to see you back!

It's all a bit plastic though...I know it's a new town so there's no historical buildings (unless Northern Rock is there ) it just had no character when I used to go there. Plus the M1 was an absolute shit sometimes!

This ten foot cock sits on a roundabout as you enter Dorking town centre.

 - what's the relevance of the cock, Buttocks?

Thanks Karma .. Love you too

It is supposedly a old breed of cockerel called a Dorking Cockerel.   However pedants in the town have pointed out that the feathers are the wrong shape - they should be pointed rather than rounded ones.

I see.......

He looks friendly enough though, eh?

He does.  And regularly gets decorated at weekends and special occassions. 

At Easter he has eggs placed underneath him.  Clearly there are some in Dorking lacking in basic animal anatomy knowledge.

I actually want him for my garden.....

I quite like your 10ft cock SB,

Don't see any evidence of it keeping it's pecker up.

For a moment... i thought my browser had led me to the wrong forum... and then i scrolled up the page!

The local bobfoc

All of Plymouth, Plymstock and Plympton (apart from the hoe). Sorry rawky, I know you live there, but it's not nice until you leave after Tesco's at Robourogh.

^^^ It won't let me edit but I quoted and laughed at bobfoc 

I've no idea what bobfoc means.

Body of baywatch, face of crimewatch.

Long boots, short skirt, and the face of Rocky Balboa after getting his ass kicked.  Damn shame.

Ok, with you.

As my associates would say....the sort of bird you see from the back and think it's Christmas...then she turns round and you think it's armageddon.

 

To be fair I've never seen a particularly appealing industrial/dock area anywhere.

Weirdly, leccy, I like a dock area because of the history of it all and we don't have much of the originals left. I love the old buildings, shame they are being turned into luxury livingspace insted of museums. I love old canals that should be revived and the old mines in Cornwall and Devon which, unfortunately, are out of work.

oh yes..   Mr Ditty leaning over the bath washing his hair, stark naked..  


I screamed I tell ya!!

I know what you mean Cologne, but Greythorpes is pretty ugly its heavily industrialised.

My Granda was an overlock welder at the shipyards, my Mam's school used to get the day off when a ship was being launched so their Dads could take them to see it

I love that. I know we could be flippant and say 'how nice the old days were'. We know they mainly weren't, but at the same time there is something there that we have lost now. Family, community etc.

I'm reasonably certain where my family is. 

Which family?  LOL!
