You lot don't want me for my personality do you ?

THE DAILY DONK!!!

I LOVE IT!!
Ahhhh I was looking for that million page thread and saw this first, you Skoks...

Just wanted to say I miss you all very much.
I've been too busy for anything. I'm working full time plus most evenings and weekends with the tarot, which is great, but it leaves me little time to surf the internet for anything that isn't wedding related!

Velma is very well too and misses you all. With all that's been going on with us here I've been hoping to ride into one of you all summer to force me to catch up with you again, since I seem rubbish with logging on here and not spending daily hours on MV as before!
Genie - do you not ride up West End Lane in the mornings anymore?
Charles - have you moved from West Hampstead?
Kam - are you not working by Abbey Road anymore?
Alice/Kate - are you not parking in Soho anymore?
See I've been watching out for all of you.
Jim - I beeped like an idiot to a guy with a Fuoco just like yours and identical helmet on Edgware Rd a couple of months ago when they were doing road works on Lisson Grove. I beeped and waved to his mirror, much to his horror, till I managed to see his face haha.. It was early morning and only after the embarrassment I realised he didn't have the Ace Cafe or DSSC stickers on his top box!

Bill - I thought of you many times too. Velma hasn't had a bath since the Mr. Sheen extravaganza, which was probably the last time I logged on here. She needs a pamper and I can't think of anyone better for the job than you Why do you have to live so far away.

Spider - I also thought of you, I scraped off some paint from the back of my top box on a stupid day when I was really aggravated by a really long ride to Blackheath to see a wedding dress that was £3,900 (yes, apparently it's ok to charge that for a dress!), then I got lost on the way back many times, and stopped to look at a map, hit the back of the box on a lamp post as I parked. very sad. I thought of using red nail varnish, but I could hear all of your voices in disapproval so I just left it alone.

Otherwise Velma, myself, Alex and George do well. George is just back from the doctors and fit as an athlete. Alex says hi, he's also working like a dog and just finished his masters.

Me, I want an iPhone from Orange now.

Anyway, I hope you are all well - lots of hugs I miss you all!!

Dessa!!! i've been meaning to get in touch for another tarot reading i'm glad to hear that the wedding plans are going well but we miss you!! hurry up and get married so you can come back and talk to us. yes, i saw you just a couple of weeks ago - i was on a borrowed scooter while the interloper was being painted gorgeous olive green, i waved but you didn't recognize me

we're meeting up at the pilot on sunday, why don't you come?

you know what I think I did see you but after the embarrassment at Edgware Rd with the Jim lookalike I stopped waving until I was sure. I didn't see no paws and no Loper so in that split second I carried on! hehe

I was telling Bill, sundays I'm at the shop till 7pm reading away, I'm permanent there now on sundays, so it's a no-goer. I wouldn't get to the pilot till near 8pm.
but saturdays are more flexible, you guys just have to keep it more central 8)

How IS the interloper, is he as grand as ever?

I have to say, Velma does not disappoint, worth every penny.

I do have plans to replace her with the mighty white 300 though but don't tell her.
and that's only for the future

enjoy sunday, and keep in touch - genie text me or email if you want to meet up for a bit of the old tarot. same for you bill, in fact we can "do" one of you after the other (this sounds kinky doesn't it)

text me if I disappear again, I'm very naughty like that!

Do one after the other huh ? Sounds like I'd be up for some of that.

I can't keep a straight face so I'm going to giggle in the corner.

Dessa. Don't get lost at sea again. We all miss you too much.

If there is any doubt about Dessa's Tarot reading abilities she did a reading for me about 6 months ago and pretty much everything that was predicted came true. Very impressed.

Bill XX

I bet the first prediction was that in 6 months you'd still be on here and the second was that you'd be riding a Vespa.......

hehehe, one after the other bill, I had to give you guys something, its been so long after all!

hehheeh

DESSA! Welcome back!

Thanks to Westminster's parking charges I've been plonking the beastie (sorry, that sounds absolutely filthy) off Tottenham Court Road and walking.

I'd kinda like a tarot reading but I'm a bit scared. In some ways I'd rather not know what the future will bring, if I'm powerless to change it.

Tarot readings don't predict the future - it's more about looking closely at your life now and suggesting future courses of action. it's really fun.

i had a stinky ride in this morning - chucked down rain the entire way in, which i don't mind at all, but i hit every single red light between hackney and harrow, and that includes at least 6 extra ones where they're doing roadworks. what a complete pain.

the rain rolled off the beautifully polished interloper like pearls off a silk dress or something

It's been GRIM both mornings so far this week. Yesterday could not have been a more stereotypical grey, drizzly Monday morning if it tried. I thought I'd walked into a Garfield cartoon.

I've just had a call from the LSBS that the ET4 is painted and ready to be collected. Wow. It wasn't even touched on Friday....

photos!!! even of the unassembled bits please i really want to see this special colour.

can someone remind me what time we're meeting at the pilot on sunday?

Donkfest 2009

Yes, piccies please! Genie's shown us hers, it's only fair

I'm getting there for 11am to meet up with Marc so anytime after that I guess.

I didn't have a bad ride in. I just in got my nice warm car and drove to work in the dry.

At some point I may have changed the channel on the stereo.

Bill XX

Okay just a tease... bad lighting, camera shake and all. The only bit I've brought home so far...

Oh my God that is beautiful Doug.

Will it be home by Saturday ?

Yep. Coming home tomorrow!

Pepy both predictions totally wrong.

Sorry I can't give details but it all came true and not because I wanted it to either.

XX

The colour is Dodge Viper blue, in case anyone's interested. The paint has the heaviest metallic flake I have ever seen in a standard colour and is sprayed over a blue/black metallic basecoat.

Its the same colour as the cover on this Take That CD I've just bought.

Take That Blue hasn't got the same ring to it has it ?

Bill XX

"TAKE THAT!"

Are you insane man..........

Yup say it loud and proud I BOUGHT A TAKE THAT CD AND I HAVE SEEN THEM LIVE TWICE AND THEY WERE BRILLIANT.

I like a bit of Barlow.

Bill XX

Right then. For those of us in time zones 8 hours away who don't speak the lingo, translation please? Google and the Urban Dictionary were less than illuminating. Pretty please?

Gary Barlow (singer/song writer in Take That).

Ah, that simple. You see, I found this usage and was confused as a result:

"David's been hoping for a bit of Barlow slap and tickle but so far Tracy's fobbed him off with a car radio"

Thanks for the clarification.

For the record Gary Barlow is worth about £40 million now being the premier singer/song writer in Take That who I'll admit were a pretty awful cheesey Boy Band but who have now matured into a pretty good MOR band.

They put on a pretty good show as well.

The bit of Barlow phrase comes from a comedy sketch/character by Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse called the Selfrightious Brothers who would always use the second name of the star that would want to teach a lesson.

It would take too long to explain so U Tube it.

Try looking for Greatest Day by Take That or Patience.

Don't get me started on John Barrowman.

I've got tickets to see ZZ Top

Bastard.

I'll match you because I'm going to see Eddie Izzard in December.

are they still alive? those beards must be down to their ankles by now

hi again, just keeping up with the return to the daily donk - alice I've been parking off tottenham ct rd! I swear I always look out for you. I have been going to paperchase about 10 times a week apparently, so I park on the pay just off TCR as you come into it from that wigmore st continuation. by maplin, goodge street etc. good little bay that one.

bill thanks for advertising my craft, yes, I'm not psychic "per se" so I can't tell if you'll get a parking ticket as such hehe. But the cards don't lie (do they bill/genie? ) and their meaning is very clear.
the future that they show is merely a buffer from your current feelings/actions of the present - you are shaping your future right this moment! that's why I don't look at anything further than 6-9 months, one year max.

the weather has been rubbish, I haven't been poured on this week luckily, just that "should-I-wear-the-waterproof-trousers-or-not" drizzle that gets your thighs damp. Someone at work asked me today if I have my "little cover on yet" (thermoscud)
I don't know about you but I resist for as long as I can. I like to live in the denial that there'll be some really warm day where I'll boil under it.
Or simply I hate being under so much gear, grr.. the winter gloves - I can't feel my horn! That Tucano parka - like a straight jacket! Now the Thermoscud, I can't hop on and off the bike freely anymore.
Stupid weather. It ruins it for everybody.

anyway, going to munch on the casserole that's brewing in the oven.
hope to see you all soon.

One of the lads is not sure if he can come. He is in vegas at the moment but when he gets back I will ask him if he can come. If he can't you get first dibs on the ticket.
It is worth going just for the support act. http://www.steelpantherrocks.com/

Oh and before I forget, welcome back Dessa, wondered what had happened to you!

The action tranny!!
I have seen him a few times. He is the best.

Seen 4 times already. Can't get enough of the man.

Welcome back Dessa.

(sorry forgot to say that before )

Dessa to go back to what you'd said the cards don't lie and the events that you'd hinted at/suggested were going to happen did happen and oddly enough the emotions you predicted were exactly the same as you described.

Very odd.

Does anyone have any old stickers? Scooter related or otherwise, I am looking to decorate my new (battered, old) top (cardboard) box. I would be grateful for any help.

Can i trump that with........The Specials at Hammersmith Apollo? 8)
