re ' close my eyes and start counting '

You'd probably only get to ten before you'd have to stop for a tinkle now .

When I was despatching , around the same time as above , I would frequently sing ,

I can see clearly now , the rain has gone etc ......{ Bill Withers ? } and , to my eternal shame ,

" Crazy Horses WAAAAAAH ! , WAAAAAH !,

This would obviously include all relevant guitar breaks .

I used to offset the above with renditions of Highway Star {especially when joining motorways } , Lazy and Space Trucking as per Deep Purple , Made In Japan . These also included all guitar parts and Jon Lords organ ......................

whenever i enter buckinghamshire, i shout 'BUCKINGHAMSHIRE!' in a loud and posh voice. Dunno why but i've done it for about 5 years now.

Got exactly the same thing going on when I ride through SHROPSHIRE. Came from an episode of some spin off comedy show from 'Only fools & horses' with Trigger & Marlene.

We always have 10 minutes of Private Fraser from Dads Army whenever I pass the sign telling me i'm in Scotland

Thank You RobG  !!!!!!!!

The other Dispatch Trick(?) when bored on the M/way.

The Bike concerned had a pair of Handle Bars from Captain Cardiff to match the Sissy Bar from the same chap.
These bars were high enough for me to look under my arm without turning my head ! They were quite high !
Well I'd look under my arm down to the white lines,whizzing past !
After a while it becomes quite hipnotic and the miles fly by.


Oooh !  I think I need a Tinkle now.

Whenever my wife and I visit Scotland we always shout 'OCH AYE THE NOO' and sing Scotland The Brave.
Sad and pathetic, particularly as we are not Scottish and only know the first two lines of the above anthem.
And I thought it was just me (and the wife), now I know different, were all loonies together!

Hurrah!
