Karma bank top up.

I think I brought the first one from Chipps at the bike show?

I’d agree with the “chuck em away and buy cheap LED ones” approach.

Old style fairy lights are a pain in the butt. The LED ones seem almost indestructible. Tesco were doing them half price the other day.

My ex had a MK1. It was a nice place to be in terms of the cabin – very nicely finished.

But it was crap to drive. The engine (225bhp) was very ‘thrashy’ and not really satisfying. It just didn’t feel fast. And it wasn’t that nice handling either – a bit too neutral and unfeeling (a bit like the Ex really!).

They are quite girly cars as well.

That method does work a trick.

However, I once had a Hayes 9 brake that was beautifully bled and still had no bite. It ended up it just needed some heat putting through it, so I had a run down a local DH course.

Worked fine ever since.

Don’t know if this is a Hayes ‘thing’ but it might be worth a try if the bleed gives you a blank.

This isn’t an entirely helpful answer but I had an older 5 and ran about 250 in the rear shock (I was a few pounds heavier then you at the time). It sounds about right…..

Just one reason.

My OH came into my life when I was a mess. I was depressed, unhappy and had contemplated “throwing in the towel” as it were.

She cared for the human wreckage that I’d become and made me realise that I could enjoy love again.

I owe her my entire happiness and I will always love her for it.

Hmmm, a darker side to me perhaps.

An ex from many moons ago now lives in Thailand. Whenever I’ve seen that there’s civil unrest, people killed, or plane crashes I check to see if her name is included.

It never is – I’ll keep checking…….

As for the Ex-wife – I don’t check on her. She is my EX-wife and that is the only piece of information I’m interested in.

No, a tin is too much.

But – for the ‘men’ on this thread – the resealable can allows you to have a tin and a half……

Second hand shop. Buy a big old ladies dress. Go as me.

Your knitting spaghetti between the rocks. For me (and line is a personal thing) I’d agree with those above that suggest going straight over some of the bigger rocks. I can make line choice much easier.

Male:Female – I don’t understand the difference.

I’m ambidextrous if that helps.

Too much naked troll flesh!

Frozen bogies would be cool (pun not intended). You could blast them at your enemies.

As they are, they’re just mildly amusing.

I feel lethargic all the time though 🙁

To be fair, the nasal nuggets have been keeping me entertained this week. No matter how many come out I’m still amazed at how big they get.

I’m not taking photos of my nose trophies! They are pretty damn big though. Often a cm in diameter (but flat).

The flight home tonight is bound to bring a few on. Problem is they tend to be quite dry and they do make me whistle as I breathe (which I hate when other people do it).

Picking and blowing don’t get rid of them. It’s a question of closing one nostril at a time and really snorting hard to try and dislodge them.

Like I said – they’re pretty big!

It is the front of the shin, down the bone, that is tender – which is why I’m not panicking too much yet.

There’s a surgery on site at work – I might wander down there.

As I said, it’s not red and not swollen (ooh-err) so I don’t think it’s a DVT. It just seems odd as I normally remember when I’ve smashed into something (which is what it feels like).

As for the foot thing – it moves fine with no pain.

Jeans (faded and ripped)
T-Shirt (with some offensive slogan)
Trainers (dirty)

AND, to make it smart casual,

A tie.

Flatulence is funny, yet deadly:-
“Most component have low or no toxicity with the exception of Carbon dioxide which “At about 8% it causes headache, sweating, dim vision, tremor and loss of consciousness after exposure for between five and ten minutes.” and flatulence can contain up to 30% of it but only for a very short period (few seconds) ; also to consider is diffusion which is linked to proximity and inhalation quantity.”

And if I’ve signed a document – I can actually go to prison – which is scary!

I haven’t got any pics but have a gander at an OS map. There’s a trail that runs along Allt a’ Mhuilinn. Like I said, it doesn’t get to the top (bikeable), but I did this in late May a few years back. The ‘proper’ route up the front looked heaving with tourists but I saw only two other people on this track.

It is a slog at times.

It is a ride I’d repeat though. It is lovely up there and very peaceful.

It’s better round the back. You can’t ride all the way to the top but you can get a long way up – and there are hardly any tourists.

You’re lucky if you work somewhere comfy and cosy at the moment. We’re currently going through an ‘efficiency’ drive – but it really means cost savings.

Sadness comes in all shapes and sizes. Sad that it affects people. And sad that it means, as a company, we now need to cut corners to get the work done (can’t do the same job with fewer people).

But, if it keeps the majority employed than it’s hard to argue with.

Retro but lovely[/url]

My old Patriot. Still looking gorgeous after all these years…..

Wet hands? Wet tie? How on Earth do you lot, erm, clean up?

It’s not the method it’s the stupid bogs here. The water level is about 2 inches below the seat. There’s just no room to manouvre.

It is fair to say I’ve not been to Libya.

DD – they’re like that in the BA lounge in SF airport too. I was getting changed in there one day (wanted lose cotton clothes for the flight home) and was stark rollock naked except for my socks.

Suddenly got an odd feeling and glanced around to see someone peering at me through the gap!

Told him to **** off and carried on getting changed.

These adventures only ever seem to occur in US bogs!

If it’s on the street (parked) it would still need MOT (if applicable) and insurance – you couldn’t get the tax otherwise…..

Take a helmet torch or summit in case you get a flat/breakdown. They’re dead useful for fixing things.

Hide my IP is fine.

It will allow you to watch iPlayer abroad as you can set yourself an IP in any region/country.

It’s not, in itself, dodgy. It’s how you use it that might be…..

Hey Quincy was an emotional show!

That opening theme still puts a lump in my, er, throat….

Hmmmm,

The ad says it’s a portable kick stand. Can you actually kick it into place. If you could then it might be cool.

And when I say kick, I mean kung-fu style, not some lame foot stab that Russell Harty might have used to encourage his favourite cat to move.

Personally – it looks a little camp. Camp in the way that a Nazi officer would enjoy it’s folding uselessness.

Old shopping trolleys.

(I live in Stevenage)

It’s made me want to go riding again at night! I have truly missed night riding.

I remember my first night ride. I took my lights out to the furthest part of the woods at dusk. Sat in a favourite place waiting for it to get proper dark. And then spent the next hour falling off or papping myself at every noise I heard – LOL!!!

BUT – and very OT – I love that carved witch. I wish I knew where to get one of those for my garden.

It’s $2.99 a litre bottle in the off-licence near my hotel in Jersey…..

When Arnie puts his thumb up in Terminator two always makes me cry 😉

Sensitivity is not to be embarassed about. Sometimes I can get teary watching the most stupid thing – and perhaps it’s the world around me that is creating the greater emotion.

Films only make you cry cos they remind you of some aspect of your life. And being sensitive to what goes on in life is no bad thing.

Right, I’m going for a manly weep now……

Just in case I got the picture wrong, which I usually do….[/url]

Do I win a prize for the oldest one?

So kids, brain farts and time zones.

Cool – LOL! As long as it’s nothing normal.

It’s 10:30pm (ish) here and there’s nowt on stupid US telly despite there being 8 trillion channels.

An early Norco?

It is normal for it to be checked in older patients (over 40’s) but only regularily if there are some other symptoms (pain, blood etc.).

Having got through a testicular cancer scare and colorectal surgery I personally find it quite relaxing 😉

You just need someone with a gentle touch and warm hands…….

As for what my PhD is in is best left unwritten……

I travel almost non-stop for work. I HATE airports and hotels with a passion.

I actually like taking a week off and just monging around at home – gardening, riding, decorating.

It works better for me than sitting on yet another plane with flatulent chavs singing “ere we go”…..
