On the car test, you don’t have to remember to put your feet down when you stop…

Learn to write left handed with him? Sitting and practicing at his side and comparing work sounds like fun.

Middle aged men on big motorbikes are a bloody menace. Middle aged women on big motorbikes, on the other hand, are completely virtuous… 😇

Just walk in vision of the camera once a day, every day. Every day, make a request for the footage. (You are entitled to it). They will get bored…

How much petrol are you looking to carry? Aluminium bottles can be a pain once most of it is used – what about a Gas Bag? (Or similar)

Different tyres have different ages. I could buy super soft sportbike tyres for my S1000XR but I’d be a pauper riding 12000 miles a year!

as it happens, I can squeeze nearly 7000 out of a set of Michelin Pilot Road Sports. Good sport touring tyre.

Rachel

Here you go. Just posting something from the link above just to prove it works okay.

Edit – you just need to go to that site, upload an image and then copy the “direct link” to paste into the image thingy on here

Really happy you ignored the nay-sayers and went for it – fantastic! Easy, isn’t it?

https://postimages.org will help you on the Android phone. To be honest, it would be great to see it simply incorporated straight into the either here… #hint

I’m popping down to Frankfurt on the bike next Friday – pity you are going the other way!

Rachel

Guy on my course really struggled to get his head around the swerve manoeuvre. His day job? Flying around in a Tornado…

Rachel

Get an A2 bike by all means but don’t bother with an A2 licence – get the full A licence as it is no more difficult and no more expensive

Solicitor asked me if I wanted the whole Bible thing when I did the Statutory Declaration to change my name. She said she was relieved I said no as she wasn’t entirely sure where their copy was, anyway…

Five minutes work, £5 for the notarisation and five official copies. Bargain!

Rachel

Doesn’t that mean you have to clean and refill the pods? Might as well use a proper coffee pot at that stage, surely?

Are you going to link us to the tripadvisor, then?

Does France still have the 100bhp limit?

What 100bhp limit? Never heard of this. Plenty of people owning BMW GSs there which are 130bhp so I guess not!

rachel

23 inch? How did it ever turn in?? 😱

My old F800GSA had a 21” front and 18” rear as it was developed especially for off-road use. Larger wheels roll over stuff

my S1000XR has 17” front and rear as it is supposed* to be a road bike.

Rachel

*supposed to be:

Go on then, what was the thing they said about 112?

Heh – thanks.

I live about 100m from the Harbour Office – it never occurred to me to just walk round and ask!! :-D

Rachel

A Kurdish Movie is rather entertaining. Worth the few quid it costs.

rachel

It’s free for me 🏍

Thanks everyone!

So, what I think I’m learning is that, on 17 Aug 2019, the tide will be low in King’s Lynn in the middle of the day.

The reason I was asking is I wanted to see if the Jet Ski racing will clash with King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Pride on that day as we can’t both close roads as the town will grind to a halt. They need high tides in the middle of the day (for the jet ski racing – the LGBT lot don’t seem that dependent upon the tides…)

Brill – thanks

Rachel

Heh – love that bike of Ed’s. Rode it round an obstacle course a few weeks ago – was great fun. Totally failed to repeat the course 2up 😂

Rachel

Great cars, I’ve had two. Petrol is not awful – I used to be able to drive from Cambridge to Carlisle on a tank full. How much got used once in Scotland where there are no laws is another matter… 😇

Both were absolutely faultless, even under my hamfisted control.

Rachel

i bought into a whole new transmission on the back of this cutaway…

Hannah is seeing cows? Before you know it, she will be complaining about several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a pict.

Rachel

edit – oh bother! Wrong album 🤦‍♀️

Using that blue plastic rope to lash things together? Soak it in a bucket of water overnight – it tends to loosen a bit when it gets wet so best to have that happen *before* you use it 😉

rachel

Get professional advice on titrating off. Thank your lucky stars it’s not OxyContin.

Rachel

I was shocked at a newly qualified friend who only used her mirrors at roundabouts. Apparently, that the way she was taught?? Bloody terrifying!

rachel

Sorry, if one doesn’t support AirDrop, you are out of luck. (Strictly speaking, AirDrop IS BlueTooth)

rachel

I managed to peel my big toe almost off. Yes, it hurt.

Grew back pretty quickly, though. Less than 3 months.

Rachel

You don’t have Safari in private mode, do you?

rachel

The Dreamliners fly no lower than any other aircraft. They keep the cabin pressurised at a higher pressure; as if you inside are at a lower altitude.

That you have experienced turbulence is down to the route, and luck, not the aircraft.

Rachel

I watched one of the aborted landings in that video in person. Looked a lot more scary at the time! Mad French pilot came back around and made sure he wouldn’t be going around for a third go!

rachel

Does she have a written contract that states the hours required?

That’s what I usually fitted. I’m still alive.

Rachel

White dog poo?

In what way is self ID open to abuse by perverts?

(and please don’t be naive enough to write some rubbish about access to toilets / changing rooms etc. None of that has anything to do with self ID as trans people have had the right to use the facilities associated with the gender they identify with since the introduction of the Equality Act 2010.)

@technicallyinept 3 of the last 5 threads you have commented upon are trans related. Is there something you want to tell us?

Even I’m not that obsessed…

Rachel

Daily Mail in some people are dicks shocker. 🙄

rachel

If it helps you sleep better, Ninfan, the police officers in the parade are largely off-duty. They actually want to be there because they know it helps them promote a better relationship with the community.

For King’s Lynn, there will be a number of officers allocated to the march for safety duties but they won’t be particularly “visible” on the march.
