On the aircraft subject my old boss who was ex RAF used to say the the reason the world was round was so that the Jaguar could take off.

Was a bit disappointed with tonight’s as no mention of Ronald Raygun and his barmy Star Wars idea making the Soviets realise that they couldn’t outspend the West on arms along with the terrible financial toll Chernobyl caused assisting in the break up of the USSR

BANZAI!

We’re all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?

Ropey Rose….yes please

Two of these, zip tied to either side of the collar make for a pretty bright collar light or hazard-to-singletrack-navigation lights 😀

Got shot of our Focus at about the 70K mark, the injector oil seals on No.3 were leaking which is the beginning of the start of “black death”.

The engine combustion gases end up leaking into the oil which clogs up the oil ways leading to turbo failure.

The Ford technical bulletin for this fault involves taking sump off and cleaning it, replacing all the turbo pipe work and cleaning the oil pick ups as well as flushing the engine repeatedly with clean oil and measuring the flow rate to the turbo.

Failure to get this right results in turbo’s going pop every few thousand miles.

Plenty of info here:

Pennywise

Only upgrade has been a clutch rear mech to reduce chain drop.

I hate it as it makes my 26 wheeled bikes feel like slugs.

and what caused the puncture?

Loving the fixing of faults with credit card and bin :D. Nothing Saturday, it fell down, so did 7 mile walk with the hounds instead after rain became merely heavy rather than torrential.

Sunday, broke out the one speed and was 9 miles into the ride climbing up the Eastbourne mile (back complaining bitterly at this point) when the phone rang and the Man from Oncall was required to go and wiggle random wires till an important bit of the railway started working again.

At my last ever visit to a Ford dealership they tried to sell me a diesel system flush, new brake fluid, two new tyres and new disks and pads all round. The car was in for a 30K service!

Is that arm still under warranty?

I’ll be talking Chinese in 50 years time, over my rotting corpse!

What makes you think the Chinese Empire will last any longer than the American Empire?

4 pages and nobody’s mentioned cuterunner’s alterego:

I feel a ban coming on 😀

Some inspired choices…

or

ohhh I could work for his Thought Police!

Weather man hype, it always is.

Yep done that too, had a Bonty tyre that wouldn’t seat properly so left it at 60psi sitting in the sun whilst I worked on the bike. About 20 minutes or so later BOOOOOOM! Tyre exploded and wheel jumped into the air with such force the freehub popped out and our Staffie nearly shit himself!

Yep done that too, what was hilarious was going into Morrisons to get a post surf soup, leaning over at the checkout and what looked like half the Atlantic poured out of my nose and over the conveyor!

Mrs M was LESS than impressed!

GTA V

Whassup Dog….

So I’ve bought a PS3 and played a GTA game for the first time in about 5 years. I am shite at it. Still more time to practice tomorrow.

I appear to have something in my eye’s….

Top bloke.

Any idea what these are?

More fun than running![/url]

It’s a polite way of saying “your screwed!”

Racing the Hound![/url]

Even the sea gets bludgeoned out of the way in the quest for the ball.

Our latest edition when she was learning her place amid the pack.

Just seen it on youtube, ouch! Marquez’s bike also gave Crutchlow’s bike a right pounding as it hit it in the gravel trap, luckily the Marshall’s were on the ball and saw it coming so scattered otherwise it could have been very nasty.

Zokes, thanks for the info, the Imperial Bunker is having it’s radiation shielding upgraded! Braking radiation, would’ve thought……….

You would say that, you despot! You’re not accountable to anyone!

Unfortunately I’m accountable to Mrs Ming…… 🙁

They’ll sort it when they employ a German or American or Russian to lead who will make decisions without referring to committee.

Clint Eastwood….as for ages it was the trail with no name.
The Flint Terror as very, very fast and lots of tyre shredding flints.
Poo Hill, so named by Mrs Ming as it was covered in sheep poo and went on for far too long resulting in much swearing at me by Mrs M.

Here is very nice[/url]

I murder them all to death…..

Frequently

If I know it’s them I normally open the door holding a Ferret. That’s a complete show stopper, their opening gambit comes off the rails and hit’s the orphanage. If ferrets don’t go to heaven (don’t worry they do, who do you think eats all the slugs) then the door gets slammed in their face.

It’s either that or I wind up our excitable Staffie something chronic so he’s barking like a mad thing and answer the door holding him back as he desperately tries to say hello.

They don’t tend to stay long either way.
