I have got a bike though. Perhaps I should buy a motorbike for a while??

A little 600cc engine? Or this instead. I bought one identical to this brand new in 2000.

😂 out of the blue; no pun intended there what makes you think it's a show I'd enjoy 😄

First time I saw it was when I went in the living room to spend some time with @VickiW and she was watching it; it was an awkward show to watch with your partner especially when she asks "which one do you think he will choose" and why 😰 more of a show you would stumble across when having a few drinks with the lads and comment on the various cabbage patches and kebabs on display, personally I prefer a neat enclosure.

I thought you have a wild fetish from what I've seen from you in the past 🤣

Get that one. Probably wear a leather jacket also 😎

No a primark T-shirt and knee length shorts is generally what they wear in summer as they whizz past you on the motorway as though your parked,

When they do; it always reminds me of spreading butter on a freshly toasted hot slice of bread; which there body would desintigrate on the road in much the same fashion should they fall off.

I don't like that now I've sold the Focus and am now a Nissan owner there's no decent forum!!!

I found two, one hasn't been active for about a year and the other one I'm still waiting after 24hrs for someone to activate my account, it's the most boring website I've ever come across too!

Oh well, at least we still have the Fiesta so I can still legitimately come on here.🙂

Forums have died...I used to be on loads, this is the only one that's still active, hence still being here after 10 months of no Ford lol...  It's all about Facebook groups now.  Shame you're not East Coast as an old college mate of mine runs a decent Jap group with huge monthly meets etc.  I've been a couple of times but can't really join in without a Jap car lol.

I use to look on the mk6 fiesta zetec s owners club but that's really inactive. 

I did like making dinner for the family. Made handmade chips and pre made burgers 🍔🍟. Also tried out a onion rings recipe which came out great.

You did make me chuckle a bit 😂. I've heard of naked beach but don't think I've watched it. To me it looks like the media like to include nudity in their programs as they know they'll get more views. 

Haven't seen the Danny dyer one. That reminds me, back in secondary school I remember they were doing *** education and once they wanted to take all the boys out of classes in the year to show them how to use you know what 'protection'. I was the only one who didn't and I remember my teacher saying to the girls in the class 'zain doesn't feel happy to go' 🤣. To me I don't believe in *** before marriage so didn't see the point going. 

Actually saw that program yesterday. I was shocked when the cameraman said to an English man in the market 'do you like seeing Muslims here?' and he openly said he doesn't saying their teachings and laws they should not be inforcing and I'm not saying it that I'm racist. 

One of the parents didn't like his daughter going to a school party where she'll have boys dancing with here 😂. I might be the same if I had a daughter as I know from a boys point of view what guys like to think about. 

I do like finding out that I can now delete text boxes on mobile!! :biggrin:  However, I don't like realising this accidentally while half way through this reply and deleting the whole thing lol... :laugh: 

I saw another programme advertised about s*x last night...called 's*x tape'...  I mean Channel 4 may as well just live stream pawn at this point... :lol:  Good on you for standing up for your beliefs, I'd have just gone along with it so as not to stand out and be noticed lol.  I do remember that class though, the girls were taught how to use them as well at our school, and yes it was very awkward.  I didn't take part in the physical demonstration with the plastic ones... :laugh: 

I can't say I was surprised about that 'I'm not racist but...' guy sadly, it did make me cringe seeing it on TV but it's pretty common in older white people in rural areas.  I really hope he watched the series though, and it opened his mind even if it didn't fully change his perceptions.  Life is all about experiences imo, you won't like everything, you won't be comfortable with everything, but if you at least start with an open mind and gain some knowledge on it that's a good start.  I watch all sorts of documentaries, some very hard to watch, but I always learn something from them.  What annoys me is people that have a fully closed mind, they make perceptions and ideas based on nothing at all, or worse what they've heard from a friend or seen on the news...  These will also be the people to argue about things despite having no hard evidence to back anything up lol.

My don't like for today is the local elections...

I don't usually bother with locals but t's reasonably important for our area this time as we've just had two councils merge into one large one so currently have no idea who the overall council will be run by.  So far I can't even find out who the candidates are!!  We've just had one leaflet from the current councillors, and I must admit, they seem to do a good job, but I would like to know who else is running before making a decision! :unsure:

I think I have the same thing in my area. Saw a letter / slip stuck on the fridge about something like this. Was just looking at some houses just outside London past the M25 and I'm kind of surprised on the prices. Saw a 4 bed house with a decent driveway and front facing garage going for £475k. My house I think is worth around the same now however that's after making a bigger garage at the back and a conservatory along with modernising the interior of the house. I was quoted £1090 for insurance which is £130 more than what I'm paying at the moment which worries me 😢. My renewal is in July so hope it changes then.

You need to show me how to delete those boxes 😂

Channel 4 and I think itv show programs like this. I personally don't like it if there's too much of these channels on on family channels. It's embarrassing when your in a families house then on the TV you see some advert for adult toys you can post to you door and followed up by a non family friendly adult program 🤦‍♂️

With me what I look at in a girl is there personally and possibly how they look and dress. I don't just follow expectations and temptations us boys sadly have. I personally don't like wild girls who mess around with guys and don't focus with their education. A way someone dresses kind of puts an impression on others. In the hospital I volunteer in there was once a doctor wearing a short skirt and in the staff room I could hear the lady nurses talking about her especially one saying she will only get guys to sleep with her rather than wanting to marry her. As I've gotten older I've noticed most of the decent girls don't really look into having boyfriends or being open about liking someone. It's something like this which makes me wonder if I will find someone later on or if I'm still young and can't choose for myself yet 🤔

Lol, I can just delete text boxes in the normal way now, I don't know if there's been a forum update or a phone update but somethings definitely changed! :biggrin: 

I think the love honey and durex ads are only on after the 9pm watershed, so really young kids shouldn't be watching anyway.  But I agree they are embarrassing/awkward with other people of any age.  I seem to see a lot more ads for Viagra and incontinence pads...that probably says more about the target audience of the programmes I watch! :laugh: 

I can't really offer any advice about girls, it's not my area at all lol, I've never had those temptations that we're meant to have myself.  You are still young though, there's plenty of time!  :smile:

Lol, I'm not sure he was even born, I was still in primary school!  Remember we had a man come in and do something to the video recorder so we could receive channel 5...  It was pointless though, we had an indoor aerial and in our area the signal was so poor we just had a faded, grainy picture with barely any sound anyway... :laugh:

I remember it, the Spice Girls launched it. I was 20 yrs old, outside my mum and dad's waxing my 309GTi and went in to watch it as it had been promoted for a while that it was launching.

yep, they did launch it on March 30th, 1997.

I was in year 8 at the time and remember someone coming to tune things in and then putting a sticker on to say it could receive the channel. 
The good old days of analogue tv, lol.

You need to press your own burgers.
I was a butcher when I left school and have avoided eating processed burgers as much as I can.
A cheap press is easy to use and fresh lean steak mince is far better especially with your own preferred seasoning (a splash of tobasco is well recommended).
