Well, another year passed, and its Peachy Reunion time again. Mike has entered via some small port on east coast, and is in 'secret meetings' with peachyites in the black country!. Round here, the barriers are going up, and the bomb sniffing dogs are about......nah not for him, royalty visiting at same time. Have cleaned all the bbqs and got freezer full of stuff for him to burn. Must tidy up a bit.

im on the wrong side of the pond

Tied up Beckett today amidst spitfire and sarnies. Watching fish under the bridge. Maybe not right time and place, but condolences for the loss of one of your close family drum. See soon...

Mike.

Thanks Mike.   Not sure how you 'tied beckett'?, we didnt go near grave, (body went missing yonks ago). Must have been that Topaz  real ale giving you daydreams. Gonna go back and give that a good testing. Wots this?, you've gone ten miles and found rain, only you could do that. Bloody hot here. While your away I'm filling your furniture with lots of things for the inspectors to find. drum

Hi folks!

Jensy!!!!! How are you doing mate? Back home now drinking Innis Gunn beer - a really unusal oakage aged beer whick was kindly donated to yours truly by uncle drum.

Yeah, found the stuff in the drawers, ta. T nicked my furniture for her CD's. Can't get Innis Gunn anywhere this side of the chunnel. Next time I'm in Edinburgh area I'll check out one of the 180 outlets. T for yearly M.O.T. tomorrow, taken day off work. S picked up accesory for bike today.. a homemade winch made by original seller to get it off the ground for servicing. Dunno if he has installed the solar panel yet.

Hope all is well with you, Tom and the north-western siblings. Cheers.

Lochsa: Sent you a PM.

Mike: (Not sure you'll take this the right way)... It's nice to see you posting something a little more positive. Maybe I've just previously seen the wrong tone amongst your 1,300+ posts. 

OK, now I need to make this reply worthy of the thread. Obviously I don't live anywhere near you guys. The weather here in NYC is boring... sunny and warm for weeks. No rain. Barely any clouds. Woah, I'm complaining about that??? There was a thunderstorm a few weeks ago, with pics of lightning striking that stupid, giant building that they eventually dubbed the Freedom Tower. I'm assuming you can tell from that sentence I'm not a fan of the building.

Now I'm just ranting, but I'm very good at touring people around Manhattan, and I secretely hate taking people there. They all want to see the area. It's so easy to go from Battery Park, where you can see the Statue of Liberty, to One World Trade Center. Everyone loves taking pictures of it. I quietly hate it. I really like NYC. That said, I hope you can understand it was a dumb audacity to create an enormous building to prove the terrorists didn't win. I hate hate hate seeing it in the skyline. Whatever.

Happily and motivationally,
-gf

so, we've had our first winter storm warning up here in Montucky. just bought my season ski pass. the Elk are starting to grunt and bugle. saw a big, fat, happy grizzly bear the other day. "winter is coming". not ready for it yet but what do you do? boy time sure does fly by as i get older

check your messages GF. hope all my peachy friends are doing great

Hallo to everyone. Getting back in swing of things here.  Only 'grizzly bear' i've seen was this morning in the gym, black belt martial arts guy i know, doing tension training with two cracked thumbs. And only two weeks to the Internationals!. No sign of approach of winter here yet, temp in mid 20s. Hmm?, Innis & Gunn must be working....Mike cant spell. Friday coming is International Talk Like A Pirate Day. Yep we are gonna celebrate in the pub...eyepatches all round. Who thinks these days up??. Mike, tell him not to use that bike lift solo, needs two people. Yeah, gyms getting good again, lots of new mummies whose kids have started school in last week or so....about 75 percent blonde and petite!. Happy Drum.

Innis & Gunn disappeared down hatch. Luckily Edinburrrr didn't make us renovate Hadrian's Wall, so hopefully the next pints will still be available. Now where's that spelling control? Do I really have to do everything myself? Oooooo Arrrr me mateees.. it's pirates day... S had first bike accident this evening. Not too bad damage but shaken. Hit trailer behind car crossing through road. Dunno state of bike yet. Set Alex wet-T task for other board, looking good. Don't forget to unwrap the mummies :) Nasty Mike.

Mummies arrive with packaging partialy removed. Misty here. drum

hello there

care to chat?

hiya

Hi Jens and welcome to peachy Karlene.........this is a thread between old pals, yeah pop in say hallo and lets us know what your doing. Drum

Ok, think summers over.....well judging by the rainfall and yellow flood warnings. One of the national papers has started rerunning its ''coldest ever'' stories from last year......note they do this every year. If I see people reading that one I expect biased views, odd intelligence and disbelief in truth. Thats wot you get when a porn baron goes legit and buys into Fleet Street. You getting rain on way to work Mike, enjoy it. Drum

Ooops, just out of interest. That martial arts guy got a silver...and hasn't stopped grinning yet.

Hey, I'm on a sunny south coast. Been in the suburbs of Los Angeles for a couple weeks because my parents needed a few contractors and I'm doing all the work for free. Missed all the Southern California September heat. Only 76 degrees today (24 celcius). Very nice.

Now I get to grumble: My wife decided to go to HER parents house near NYC while I was away and work on their clutter. My libido has dropped to zero. And I've had a high libido for 32 years now. Odd. Maybe you find the right person and it messes with your spank bank when you're apart. Who knows. It's screwing with my head.

I'm not a member of any other forums where I can whine about a topic like this. So all you Peachyites get to suffer through my whining.

Love goes out to all the readers of this thread.

Well, mild afternoon here. Greetings to all our followers, how are ya all and how ya doing? Hope things look better now g-f. I can't imagine life without libido. One flew over the cuckoos nest? :) 

Kiddo had his first accident few weeks back. Minor injuries and minor damage to bike. Better that way than the big one at once. Celebrating 21st tomorow. Gets a Dead Kennedys platter from me and a Social Distortion platter from mum. So there you go. C will be there, wonder how he/she's doing.

T spent a few days in hoppy last week, recovered now, but have new instruction manual. Nothing too worrying but set paintwork back somewhat. Greets from T.

Any Cambridge, Ashford or London on the horizon? Hows the Ashford sidings going in back garden and extension projects? Thinking of solar panels here, but taxman made a fuck-up and can't afford just yet. Loads of stuff to do in house, mainly painting and re-decorating.

Well yay, YG should have her second kid, but no direct contact right now. Seems happy. New plans for OB now, and Mr. Alex has his own site hosted by yours truly which is constantly growing.

Rounding off CeX for NL... 4 more stores to open this year, then up to 2015. And Poland, then southern Europe. I'd prefer sitting on a chair in the garden.

I am sitting on a chair in the garden... 

Zzzzzzz....
