MoominPapa Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 The umpire's launch is half way up the Stourbridge flight. Last time I came this way it was snowing and there was a inch of ice on the cut. MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheshire~rose Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 His quote was "Nipples like bullets" He went in to get the remains of the Ikea bag we had clearly not fully cleared this morning and found what appeared to be strands of unravelled foam backed carpet .... Cut tons of the stuff off, got out, started the engine to check it felt right..it did Fantastic Then suddenly, 20 seconds later...it didn't feel right... So he went back in and took a duvet off that we had collected in the 20 seconds running to test it! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
