    Now let's just see whether this honest response will be allowed to stand in the public forum, or whether it will be cut. Whichever way, I'm not bothered because I don't participate anymore. But I do wish all the lovely people that are undoubtedly on here all the best. If things ever get better...

    And then there's that people here (not just me) who want to express emotions around social or political issues who are getting censored when they try to do that, even though done respectfully. So at the end of the day, I'm back to other things which I find more nourishing and less restrictive...

    And on the flip side of that, I was also increasingly finding it impossible to have adult, respectful conversations with others out in the open without being censored - such as when I talked about environmental issues (I'm a biologist, environmental scientist and educator) which some members...

    I'll be honest and say there was too much background toxicity from some that's tolerated, including a constant stream of hate speech from an entitled incel towards couples and children and I just don't want to be in a place where that sort of thing is put up with and other members are expected...

    Hiya! I hope you're well! :sunflower: I do miss some of you lovely people, but I have moved on from this forum because on balance I didn't want to continue.

    I have to get me hence now, as my donkeys are making woeful noises to remind me it's their dinner time...back later. Have fun! :)

    So that sounds like exercise. Hopefully there's no leak... I'm trying to imagine how you'd get a sneeze or a fart into a tyre. Maybe with a tube? And how much pressure could you generate that way? Probably not full inflation actually. :)

    I have zero motor aptitude and admire skills in others that I don't have. What are you blowing the tyres up with? Dynamite? ;)

    Hiking!

    OMG. Trying to imagine the seat rash from naked bike riding, with an upright bike. Are you putting a sheepskin on it, @Au Naturel? @Gerald Wilgus, if you're wearing shoes, you're not properly naked! :eek:

    When the Japanese regained consciousness, the Bavarian bowed and said, "That was the jack from my Toyota from your Japanese homeland!"

    The Bavarian said, "Do you mind if I show you something from your Japanese homeland?" The Japanese was surprised, but bowed back at the Bavarian and assented. The Bavarian left the Hofbraeuhaus for ten minutes. Then he came back.

    The Japanese said to him, "Can I show you something else from my Japanese homeland?" The Bavarian was a bit nervous, but said, "OK." When he regained consciousness, the Japanese bowed and said, "That was judo from my Japanese homeland!" They got back to drinking their beers. After a while...

    The Bavarian was surprised but said, "Sure." When he regained consciousness, the Japanese bowed and said, "That was jiu jitsu from my Japanese homeland!" They got back to drinking their beers. After a while, the Japanese got up again and bowed at the Bavarian.

    I want to tell you a car-related joke. A Japanese approached a Bavarian in the Hofbraeuhaus (sorry no Umlauts) in Munich, bowed and asked if he might sit at his table. The Bavarian assented. They drank their beers quietly, then the Japanese got up and bowed again, and asked the Bavarian, "Can I...

    Congratulations! It started! Good luck with the rest of it. I'm not a motorhead but I've really enjoyed reading everyone's exchanges about this. Because it's a Volvo and because it's you people. If it was a Ford or Holden or Toyota I would care far less.
