Good work there fisha … 😉

Saucepan with ‘whirlpool’ method here. Seems to work just fine.
Tried the vinegar thing in the past, didn’t really notice any difference, eggs seem to stay together without it.

I think I shall try the shallower frying pan method next time, and report back !

Kid brother had bikes all his life (works for Honda in Aus) yet I never bothered. Anyhoo, thought I’d surprise him on a visit down under, so did my CBT on a 125 and straight to direct access. Went along to dealership and bought a Monster, rode it for 3 years and now riding a Multistrada. Great fun, but only do about 3000mls a year (more on my pushbikes 🙂
Also done cornering clinics, been to track etc.

Agree with the comments above about the ‘larger’ bikes, the 500 on the direct access course was a breath of fresh air after the brief spell with the 125 – more stable, more comfortable, safer really.

My 2p. Have fun with whatever you do, and ride carefully. We all see a lot of eejits out there, remember you’re on public roads.

In the NE Cap’n ?

Off to mumsnet with you woman … 🙂 😉

Do kids ever get dropped off in 2 wheel drive cars ?

As a Brit who drives a car on forgein (sic) plates, I’m genuinely interested in this attitude

Also good work. Chapeau. Please Sir, accept my apologies.

Keep trying Don, good work.

I meant it doesn’t physically stop them – unlike the example with the gate shown above. I’m sure it has the desired effect for the most part.

Agree you’d have to be daft to go through it, esp as it’s camera enforced. I think the OP knows this though !

Surely it doesn’t ‘stop’ delivery vans, HGV’s etc – it is designed to punish/fine their drivers. One assumes ambulances, fire engines, rozzers etc don’t get the fine.

I don’t see why regular cars could not be excluded from the penalty scheme – especially if you are a local resident ?

Dunno.

Just tried removing mine, and it won’t come off … hmmmm
May revisit that at home later !

@Warton – nope, Carole lived with a certain ex no 9 down at St Peters for a while …

Women are odd (sometimes)

Agree with most of the above, Bon Scott era the better (saw that lineup in the Mayfair, Newcastle, back in the day – really on fire) but Back in Black a great effort too. To be honest I think they never really hit those heights again with Brian out front. His (ex)missus was my neighbour !

And why can very few hotels get them right ?

Pretty cool back in the day ….

Cav’s from the IOM innee ?

woops, forgot …

<thread closed>

I’m usually Ok with all of this stuff – except temperature, when relating to weather.

I have to express ‘warm/hot’ days in deg F and in the winter I use deg C when its cold/freezing. Weird.

Smudge is OK ? – probably learned his/her lesson.
Eight left then ….

it could have been a child

It was a cat. Dogs and Cats don’t usually get along btw. 😉
Don’t call the police (yet) just calmly point out the folly of their ways and how it impacts on you and yours.
This incident should be a wake up call for them to adequately secure their dogs, shirley ?

Oh, edit: – hope the cat’s OK !

Yeah, I took it to mean simply that they were of differing ethnicity, (covering a broad spectrum, as it were …) as if that was somehow ‘inadmissible evidence’regarding explaining their behaviour. Whatever.

But to the OP, surely people of different races, and therefore presumably cultures, may well exhibit

differentiated behaviours

Surely nothing unusual or ‘racist’ there ?

Bikes (mtb and road, various)
Skis and snowboards (many)

Golf clubs (sorry)

Garage a bit full ….

“Training and Diet”

I think you need the Kenyan diet n’est ce pas ?

Still got tons of the stuff here, so max points for volume. Pain in the arse though …haircut every four weeks.

Wore it way long into my twenties, think Led Zeppelin fan !

Bald would be interesting – wonder what shape my head is ? 😉

Yep

Lochnagar last weekend. Not too much been ‘in nick’ this year though 😉

TBH do more skiing and snowboarding, but just generally love the mountains in winter.

Rockclimbing I can take it or leave it, usually spend most time on the bike.

Agree with Stilltortoise a bit … Dropbox and it’s ilk are pretty useful tbh

backing up …? ok then.

to do lists etc ? – I have a phone, I talk to my missus 😉

G.

yep, still call it Hardisty’s

“Home of the Mountain Bike” indeed – and JMC briefly ..

But do you remember Mrs Hardisty ?

(Apologies OP, we digress)

Pivot table innit

Was in Avoriaz last wed-sat, waist deep pow.

Going back next tuesday 🙂

Happy skiing everyone. Be careful.

Merry Xmas.

The ‘bidet’ as it was known – rear wash/wipe.

The correct answer is of course Don Bradman.

I seem to recall a statistical comparison a few years back, and it’s actually Gretzky.

Anyhoo, it’s those two, by miles …

Christ, this is a sensible iChat innit ?
As asked above, what’s on Android 4.0 you geek types ? 😉

I’ve no idea what any of that means but I’m pleased for you Peter

Hmmm – I used to be OK with this stuff a number of years ago, but these days I’m a litle uneasy about (the general concept of) profiting via shorting during the sh*tstorm of the last few ..

Lot of folks are going to suffer.

Hey ho, getting old/all altruistic maybe … 😉

All of the city is close to the stadium.
If you want cheap, there are Premier Inn/Travelodge type gaffs in town.
