Raining cats and dogs i know , comes from the days when a workers house was at shoulder height, and the roof was made of straw thatch, cats and some dogs would scamper up into the thatch and sleep there,.......until it rained then it would rain cats and dogs as they jumped down and ran for cover ::))

Here's another little dog story to tell the kids and grand kids. Do you know why dogs go around sniffing each others bottoms. No, well I'll tell you then.
Every year on a particular night in dogland, there was a very large celebratory Disco Dance and every dog around was invited. Well the night arrived and the dogs started turning up in their tuxes and frocks and lining up outside the venue. As they paid their dog biscuit entrance fee they were shown where to hang up their bums. It was in a large room with hooks all around the walls. The night was going really well, the water was flowing and every dog was having a great time until without warning the fire alarm went off and the dogs were running around in a panic and trying to get out of the building. In the panic they just grabbed at the bums hanging on the walls and of course there were a few mistakes made and some of the dogs escaped the fire with someone elses bum. That is why when dogs meet and sniff each other, they are merely looking for their own bum. This is a true story.:D

  1. It is commonly believed that this expression has its origins in the popularity of James Gordon-Bennett, Jr.. His father, born in Scotland in 1795, emigrated to the US to become a journalist and subsequently founded the 'New York Herald' in 1835.

Like this one? :headphone: I learnt to ride on a 1960 650 T'Bird and a few other Brit bikesView attachment 11046
Speed Triple 955i 2003 at the moment :hilarious:
There was a reason for buying a Hardly goes, Hardly stops (oh those brakes were so wooden!):playful:
I couldn't go on anything else after my accident.
Tried a VMax even that hurt too much.
So Harley with the big fat sofa cushions it had to be.
I did fall about laughing in the driveway when the hub arrived home on it in the dark though.
Looked like a Xmas Tree on wheels.:hilarious:

Outstanding
I've had a pre unit thunderbird
A pre unit T110 (I turned down a Vincent comet for the same price for that one! Shoot me now lol)
A bsa lightning chop (that one appeared in one of the bike mags at the Rock and blues)
Various ahem Japanese things
And I have just sold my speed four ( I'm getting too old to contort myself for sports bikes )
