OK, what the hell happened? I’ve lost a few things in my time, namely keys, money and the odd bone or two but this time I seem to have misplaced October! There I was casually minding my own business and some bugger suddenly pops up shouting ‘Happy Halloween’, I did wonder why there were loads of small children running about dressed as goblins etc. but thought it rude to ask! Still, onward ...

What’s been going on? Well .... Fido’s got another bike. Before you all swamp the DVLA by sending back your licenses and vowing never to use the public highways again, don’t panic - it runs like a dream but at the moment I aint got no brakes. This means the only way of stopping is to jump off smartish, not ideal so you can all rest easy until I sort it out.

Nearly forgot, we got an invite from Drewy of the T Bars alerting us of a small party that they were putting on so we all dutifully trooped off to Newport to see what was going on. As usual the T bars had done nothing by halves and there were loads of people there and the band were really good as well ( guess who can’t remember the name of the band?..... me!). I can’t praise the T Bars enough, they are such a bunch of genuinely nice guys ... keep an eye out for any events that they hold, and make sure you go

 Our little posse of drunken fools continues to grow as we welcome Doug and Marcia into our fold, two really nice people that I’m sure that we will be able to corrupt nicely thank you very much.

Oooo ... birthdays! No I haven’t discovered a new swear word, it was mine and Dawn’s birthday this month as well. We would like to thank everybody for the presents of new Harley’s, shares in the Jack Daniels brewery and vodka flavoured doggy treats but we’re afraid that we had to turn down the all expenses trip to California as we both had library books that needed returning.

I know that there is something else that I should let y’all know about but at the moment I’m buggered if I can think of it! I’ve been sat here for nearly an hour now like six and a half feet of concentrated pillock whilst scratching my ear and straining to remember. I’d better stop before something gives way and it all ends in tears.

The last bit of waffle this month concerns ‘Hells Mates’. This is a new networking site, a bit like FaceBark, that is especially for bikers. It has been set up by our Helen and is well worth checking out ...... just tell ‘em Fido sent ya!

Gotta go as I’ve foolishly promised Mrs. Fido (Stella) that I’ll go shopping with her. I’m amazed she trusts me after last time - I was only doing as I was told. You see we were in Boots and I was looking through the deodorants when I found one of these stick type ones. ‘How’s that work?’ methinks to myself so I had a peep at the instructions on the package, ‘remove lid’ it said - easy enough, then it said ‘push up bottom’ - as I said - it wasn’t my fault!

Lastly.... guess who I bumped into in Specsavers the other day?.........................Everybody!

OK, enough. Be good to each other and see you soon.
