Youtube was down last night but this is the result of "running" for a burger and tripping over a Bulgarian kerb in the process........ www.youtube.com/shorts/6geDBJINCOgWe were making our way back up to the Hotel and I spotted a burger joint....... I asked if anybody would like a burger and the answer was "no" they would meet be back at the Hotel. I said, "I'll just run up and get a burger and catch up with you" Lesson well learnt! Never run for a burger, they're not that important, and always remember that kerbs in Bulgaria are like bastard concrete hurdles. Codiene? I never take pain killers mate..... a few shots of Bulgarian Rakia and I was as right as rain It was so funny on the flight back home........ I was sat next to the same guy I sat next to on the outbound flight and the first thing he said to me was "looks like you had a good time" 2 hours into the flight and he STILL didn't believe that I had tripped over a bloody kerb and gone full face dive onto the pavement so I humoured him and told him that I had been attacked by 7 Bulgarian Gypsys and six of them I left for dead.... he actually BELIEVED that!!! FFS..... what is it with people when you have a broken nose and smashed teeth that they automatically assume you are a hooligan? I tripped over a kerb whilst sprinting for a burger FFS! By the time we got back to Inverness the guy was actually BELIEVING that I was ex SAS and one of the first over Goose Green..... so funny Does this look like a hard special forces man? www.youtube.com/shorts/GzlDkuJU0l4and me calling the fire brigade to rescue a bird trapped in an aerial? www.youtube.com/shorts/1avFlkE3Xv8www.youtube.com/shorts/KEtvlqke5AQSAS my Royal arse

Ouch. Thing is, as absurd as it sounds, it's quite a common thing to do. I managed to (drunkenly) fall onto my bog in Korea and I'm sure cracked ribs and could only sleep for 10-15 minutes at a time for a fortnight. Then, also you have supposedly sober and co-ordinated sportspeople taking themselves out for weeks slipping in the shower, falling over their dog's lead etc etc. I shudder even to think how many trip over bloody dishwasher doors left open like it's a sensible thing to do. The home is a dangerous thing. Where possible, pour a drink and sit outside. Glad to know I'm not the only one who has tripped over a domestic appliance (if you can call a soundbar a domestic appliance) and ended up breaking ribs 😋 Basically, an acquaintance in Thurso asked me if I would have a look at his soundbar that had stopped working so I said "I'm a bit busy at the moment but will have a look at it in a couple of weeks, no problems". Unbeknown to me he dropped the soundbar off in my workshop the following day and left the bastard thing in my workshop on the floor. That's the way it goes up here, if I'm not in the postman / local couriers etc. leave any packages in the workshop and pop a note through the letterbox "package in workshop". Anyhoo, long story short, the next time I went into the workshop I went head over heels tripping over this bloody twat's soundbar and landed "full on" on an oil filled radiator. He had left it (the soundbar) just inside the door "and" on the floor. It was pretty much the same as my Bulgarian kerb nose plant on the pavement except, this time, my ribs took the blow and not my face! Bulgarian kerbs are a lot higher than British kerbs so if you're running up to a burger joint (don't ask!!) always factor in an extra bit of a "leap" or you may take a full on face plant onto the pavement! The soundbar on the floor gig was pretty much the same thing......... 365 days I am used to walking into the workshop....... I didn't expect the soundbar on the floor and, whammo!, next thing I knew I was saying hello to my oil filled radiator (which I do know) with my ribs. I normally say "good morning Eric" to my trusty oil filled radiator but on that occasion I was calling him for every thing under the sun...... I believe I may have called him a "f+++++g b+++++d c++t" Not a biggie, it's all quite amusing looking back BUT....... I'll be totally honest with you guys........ I would take a full face plant over a Bulgarian kerb rather than a rib plant over a soundbar onto an oil filled radiator. Bulgarian "freestyle high kerb" face plant onto the pavement smashed a few teeth out of my mouth and broke my nose but it wasn't painful.... lots of blood, £800 to get stitched up (and I was!) and a few grand for new teeth. The soundbar trip onto an oil filled radiator (perfectly sober by the way) doesn't look bad but, trust me, it's f**king excruciating! mrpharmacist, totally agree with you mate, weeks of sleepless nights and every movement is a stabbing pain. The funny part of this is "did you manage to have a look at my soundbar yet?" Your "soundbar" is now in a skip Andy....... an ambulance ride to Wick Hospital and (to date) 6 weeks of intermittent SHARP pain and an inability to get out of bed without having to do Yuri Geller manouevers........ are you having a laugh? Only joking mate, I'll have a look at it when I can laugh or cough or sneeze without feeling like some cunt is stabbing me with a blunt knife The Bulgarian high kerb:

Major apologies to all you guys that I haven't got back to....... I broke three ribs a while back, plus a few other bones, (don't ask!!) and have been resting up and totally NOT taking any orders in anyway shape or form. I'm back firing on all 4 (well, maybe 3) now and getting out of bed is more of a minor tinge rather than an "ouch, f**k me!" type event so I'm good to go again. All of the orders that I wasn't able to fulfil were refunded in full. I really appreciate every single one of you saying to me "you didn't have to do that I am happy to wait, get better, no hurry" etc. thanks guys. The thing is that I take great pride in what I make and I take great pride in my customer service....... if I can't physically make my product then customer servive is non existant (if that makes sense) The worst possible thing to do if you, let's say, trip over a soundbar and crash rib side down onto an oil filled radiator and manage to break three ribs (for example) is take payments from customers. I like to sleep at night with a good conscience. Will be in touch with all of you guys who ordered stuff shortly, and I fully understand if you tell me to sling my hook, Stanley in Indonesia (Major apologies), Yang wang in China (major apologies), Chris in Wales (major apologies), Tom Ferguson in Falkirk (Major apologies) Chris Curran in Bedford (major apologies) Peter Yu in China (Major apologies), dirk jeffries USA (major apologies}, Yogi Praneta (Indonesia) major apologies......... You have all been refunded in full and I look forward to giving you a true eargasam soon That's a promise. Mike.

I have a guy who is looking for an original wallwart for the V3 series of X-ponents. I've sold many hundreds of Little Pinkie SE power supplies so am sure there are many hundreds of MF wallwarts gathering dust somewhere.
If anybody can help please let me know.
All the best,
Mike.

The tags on the bird's leg show man's "intervention" and a total f**k up of "nature" but that's what "humans do", we f**k things up.

World class, absolutely stunning photography, Leo! I would go one further and say you are the World's number one, bar none, in this field mate. These aren't "snapshots" taken on a mobile phone, you are in tune with these birds and have the skill to capture them in all their beauty and wild existence, that is a very hard thing to achieve........ 100% fantastic achievement my friend, the best wildlife photos I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing your passion.
Mike.

What I am thinking is that it's way too late when you're 61 to get something that would have been handy when you were 40....... that's typical "life" way too little when you need it and then way too much when you can't use it.

Buy a small place to live middle of nowhere, no people just trees and wildlife would do me nice . You would soon get sick and tired of that mate, trust me. (been living in the middle of nowhere, no people, plenty of wildlife for the past 18 years and want to slash my wrists)

I love being "white" Martin, anglo saxon alpha male par excellence (and proud of it), but a lot of people with a darker skin tone to me (with fat noses and brillo pad hair) have a problem with me being so "white" Two words, f**k them!

Well well well what a race, or should I say what a shambles. Should Hamilton have been penalised for his off, should have those cars passed the safety car? Guess this will rumble on and on Still no stamping off in trantrum at least he was mature enough to be civil and congratulate Max I didn't see it Martin, watching "priveleged" white people racing each other about in multi million pound cars + whatever it costs on top of that to pay the team behind the driver, the R&D costs etc. etc. etc. is way too "white" for my tastes. Hold on, I just realised that Lewis Hamilton is not white. How on earth did he manage to get behind the wheel of a very fast car, and be supported by a team, supported by sponsors etc. if we are all supposed to be racists? I don't like the guy's "anti white" pro BLM politics, he's a hypocrite. I believe he is a very good driver. I gave up watching F1 racing when it became boring and all about money / race bullshit, Graham Hill was "possibly" the last TRUE driver who used his driving skills to win races. The playing field back then was a lot more level (with regard to the cars) and it was driver skill that won a race. (Spoiler..... Graham Hill was a white man) These days, F1 cars are pretty much self driving and the "tech" and "team" (the white guys) does the hard work, the driver is just the front man "the face" (the politically correct face?) I'm not fully versed in modern F1 racing Martin and am glad to hear that Lewis Hamilton didn't "stomp off in a tantrum". You say "he was mature enough to be civil and congratulate max"........ I would assume that it is par for the course to be mature and civil when you lose a race? That's common decency and respect for your opponent surely? A race is a f**king race and the winner is the winner. These guys are paid insane money for driving around at speed and they should be happy with their lot, win or lose. I got a £100 fixed penalty last year for doing 51MPH in a 30MPH zone and it could have been a 12 month BAN if "Covid" bullshit hadn't shut the economy down. Sorry to hear that poor old Lewis Hamilton lost a race but his £285 million bank balance should keep him smiling for many years to come. Hope all is good with you mate, Mike.

"anyhoo vote for Trump and things may be slightly less "dark"." ?? Afraid you've got it backwards, Mate. There is only one guy who has been jacking up the gun-toters in this country for the past five years - and that is Trump. And there is a slow-rolling coup going on here, as he still has not conceded that he lost the election, and still claims that the election was (somehow) stolen from him. And not but ten or so lawmakers from his whole party with the hair to call him out on that. I have been to a shooting war, and I know what that's like.And trust me - it ain't people like him that get shafted in those circumstances. I'm not into yankee politics mate (boring) but when you've got 500 mexicans gang raping your wife and 400 black guys f**king you up the "ass" you will be begging for Donald Trump to save you. Joe Biden is a slavering / drooling old f**ker..... he doesn't know what day it is. I went to a "shooting war" too (1982) so what?

Always checkin' in Mike. I got some nice tubes from you once, and appreciated the great service. I'm in the U.S., but things keep goin' downhill here, I may just take my chances in a neighborhood with my niece & family who live in Wales! Carry on. Jim Good to hear from you Jim, let's get this place rocking again! By the way (in the UK) we know how to spell........"Neighbourhood" is the correct way to spell it Dont get me started on the Welsh..... they are a weird bunch of people (just look at Max Boyce)...... anyhoo vote for Trump and things may be slightly less "dark". All the best, Mike.
