Good to hear, Gretchen. Apparently, glider pilots wear parachutes these days. When ar were a lad, in the Air Cadets, we went gliding in rackety old things called Kirby Cadets with straps to hold us in and that was about it. There weren't many fatalities, if I remember correctly.
The Kirby Cadet, built by Fred Slingsby, first flew in 1935!!

Watching a bit of the Commonwealth Squash games. I've only ever played just to keep my mates in practice, not competitivley at all. Now I know why they used to get all flustered and smash their racquet on the floor. Don't park the ball in the corner.
Once, after a game in Mougin and coming back via Cannes to take the girls out to dinner, Roger and I spotted some fresh moules at a cafe. I was riding my Gixer 1100 and slammed the brakes on, leaving a blackened skidmark right in front of the cafe.
Rog and I ordered a quick Plat Royale and a bottle of crisp Sancerre. Feck, out came all the moule, oysters, crabs, shrimp, whelks and sea urchins. 2 and a half hours later we staggered back to the boat. Both girls were sitting there in their party frocks and just looked at us with those 'where the f
k have you been?' eyes.
Had a very quiet kip that night.

Lovely time had at Burghley House at the Aston Martin gathering. It's helped fuel the Wife's desire for an Aston even more.
Heard a very odd comment made between two men looking around a Rapide:
"Look at that, he's a got a Supercar and a disabled badge. Not on, is it?!"
I had to hold myself back from saying something along the lines of "Oh, can't somebody with a disability have a nice car and a few quid?"
Not sat in the garden having hair of the dog and a bit of food on the BBQ.

Likewise would have felt similar, but I'd have swapped it to "Oh, can't somebody with a nice car and a few quid also have a disability?".Merely proof that disability doesn't discriminate according to wealth, but people do. Dicks.

I was forced to do similar in my neighbours garden earlier with his Mum until he came home from a job. Then I had his babies...Anti-clockwise brown one is Jenson, then Hamilton & McRae.

Kudos to MrsGog440 - a woman of action.

I assume you never have, or will, complain about misogyny on PH?

"You're going in what to fetch the spare wheels?"
Took the Audi, two wheels in the boot and three standing up on the back seat... couldn't see out the back window but they went in alright I could have taken my Land Rover but 13mpg vs 38mpg over 162miles? no contest. All that weight in the back actually improved the handling too
