    What’s the longest non-stop flight you’ve taken - distance or time?

    Brize Norton - Uzbekistan 18 Hours on a C130J with a 1 hour stop in Bucharest. Hammock is the only thing that saved me.

    Who here owns a Mini?

    New car day for the wife, this is the second one she's had, I enjoy driving it too, had a R53 many moons ago and it's a drastically different car from that. But still fun to drive. 2L Countryman S (Manual) Next one will be electric I think.

    What did you do to your bike today?

    Currently rebuilding the R1 ready for another year of racing. Also ordered a new Fireblade, see what all the fuss is about, will probably use it more for endurance than anything else, excited to swing a leg over it though.

    Mid-life crisis series - do you enjoy your job?

    Absolutely love my role. Every day is different, the only static things is the place we operate from and the people I work with, which are more family than work colleagues. While the pay isn't great for what we do, it's extremely rewarding when we have positive outcomes. It can be extremely...

    2023 Personal Review and 2024 Goals

    2023 Continued what I'd been doing for the previous 5 years. Hill sprints and Hill lunges with the weight vest everyday. Gym 4 days a week in work. Covered around 1200km on the hill this year and 400km of lunges. It's been more of a mental challenge this year with work influencing the...

    Courier.. Is it acceptable to enter your back garden?

    Never had this, to be honest, if you have people coming to your house with faces covered, it sounds more like they're there to take stuff, rather than deliver... As to the OP, no issue for me, he/she just trying to make sure your parcel is safe, i'd rather him try and do that, than leave it out...

    What film did you watch last night?

    Killer Sofa and Llamageddon. Both utterly terrible, but absolutely quality at the same. Watched this after : The Killer 5/10 A little different, but the story felt weak and I lost interest half way, got to the end, could have been much better imo.

    2023 - how's it been for you?

    This year has been good to me, few holidays, Spain with the boys on the bikes, Iceland with the mrs before our family trip to Turkey. Came back, got married, bought our last stop home. After 6 years of constant training and hard work, I managed to get into my 2nd choice dream job. Baby boy born...

    Make cannabis a Class A Drug, say Conservative Police Commissioners...

    No no, please, don't get me wrong, I hate the smell and I would rather my children not have to smell it out and about (me personally) not my argument for keeping it legal, I have none) If it was legal then I'm sure it would be better managed, in certain places. Again, I'm FOR legalising it..I...

    Make cannabis a Class A Drug, say Conservative Police Commissioners...

    I'll stick with spineless thank you, but it's just whi I am and how I write I guess. And I'm just writing, I don't feel I'm addressing a room full of soldiers here... If I was half would fail a CDT I imagine :p And I'm certainly not defending alcohol, I see the damage both do on an almost...

    Make cannabis a Class A Drug, say Conservative Police Commissioners...

    Again, where did a say a person who smokes weed is instantly a bad parent, I didn't, nor do think my views are biased towards people who do it for recreational reasons. As stated already, I'm for making it legal, and taxing it, I'm certainly for having places like you mentioned in Scotland for...

    Make cannabis a Class A Drug, say Conservative Police Commissioners...

    Yeah, in the context that I wrote, a parent that sees no alternative other than to smoke weed in front of their children, is spineless. Read into what I wrote, stop getting your feelings hurt when what I write isn't directed at you. Unless you smoke weed in front of your kids, then see above...

    Make cannabis a Class A Drug, say Conservative Police Commissioners...

    Which is what I've said Rai, we only disagree on the smell. I'd agree mostly with your point on cigs too, outside of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence.

    Make cannabis a Class A Drug, say Conservative Police Commissioners...

    Well not it's legal, and smoking it is breaking the law, I imagine if I walked past two police officers while happily puffing away on a joint they'd have something to say. But then the legality of it isn't my concern nor issue outside of smoking it in public or operating a vehicle under it's...

    Make cannabis a Class A Drug, say Conservative Police Commissioners...

    Indeed they do, most not illegal currently though. I offered my opinions on it, for the last time. I don't do it, nor do I see the fascination with it, I'm perfectly happy to plod along through my life without the need for drugs or alcohol, my ability to do this doesn't make me better than you...

    Make cannabis a Class A Drug, say Conservative Police Commissioners...

    I meant no offence, just my opinion, and that's all I ask, is that it causes no harm or nuisance to others.
