Any Old Guys

I need XLT for white, for wearing normally or for under a black jumper. XL black is still fine.

Sorry Build, not sure if I’m reading this wrong, but I don’t understand.

It was a trope a while ago. It illustrated that a person was competent at something. ‘This guy [verb]’.

but tropes…

Memes are tropes, really. Illustrated ones.

They changed the name to ‘Cif’, because of bloody Europe.

Just worked out that I used a 21 year old Simpsons quote to illustrate that I am bang on the trolley.

Hhmmm, I don’t get it. Care to explain?

Forth one down…

“In 2001, Jif was renamed to Cif in the UK to align it with other European versions of the same product.”

I didn’t know about the Coco Pops / Choco Krispies to revert.

But what about computery .gif file thingys?

Any old guys??? Try this for size… I’m 47 and just started skateboarding for the first time a couple of weeks ago…
I recently built a small quarter pipe for my kids in our garage - had no idea what I was doing and kept screwing it up (first attempt was more like a vertical ramp that nearly sent my son through the roof). I tried reaching out to the skater community to get someone around to try out my latest attempt to see what I was doing wrong… strangely could find a guinea pig to test it…
So I thought “bugger it how hard could this skateboarding stuff be”… famous last words when looking down a “drop in” having no idea what I was doing lol
I remember the basics from watching the lessons my son took several years-a-go and gave it a try…
Holy sh@t I’m addicted - what a rush… I’ve learnt drop in, some carving and a couple of accidental rock-to-fakey’s…
Now all I want to do is go to an indoor skate park and try that on for size… (damn UK weather rules out local parks).
Anyone know of any indoor parks near Colchester Essex???

Not anymore mate since Area 25 in Ipswich closed,theres still some decent parks in the area.

Wasn’t there something in Burwell, Cambridgeshire? Or is that too far? Ask Rob Salmon via his Insta, he’ll know.
