Urban Dictionary says ‘Boak’ so it must be true…. 😀

Hmmm not sure, one of my friends from Belfast uses that word a lot – i’ll enquire!

This is 2 streets away from me. Bit scary either way wherever you are, but more so so close to home!

s4rpf – nice ‘Burg’ and a noise to go with it. I’ve got an Astra VXR too, i love it, but wil miss it when it goes….

Frodo, thats my local too! They sorted out my pilinoidal sinus! And i can see it from my house!

Think there’s an ongoing thread about this in the ‘bike’ forum at the moment.

Well it’ll be Whisky then for us! I knew there was a difference but didn’t know which way round, but cheers anyway! 😀

Dad cant make it; he’s away – how rude! Suppose i’ll have to go on my own – seems a bargain!

Excellent and just in time! Think i’ll have to go to this even if Dad is unavailable! Thanks for the heads up!

Seems a Bargain for £20!!

We went to Dubrovnik a few years ago in September and for the first week visited a number of the Islands and places along the coast. Korcula, Lopud, and Hvar Town. All lovely places.

Second week was in a place called Lapad about 10 mins on the Bus (no.6!) from Dubrovnik centre, so we had the best of both worlds – quiet hotel to stay in but if you wanted somewhere to go or a night out you could go into town, which was no more than 10 mins on the bus. There was a number of restaurants near the hotel too and prices were good. We enjoyed it so much that we are going back in Sept for another little holiday. One of the nicest places i’ve been too and i’ve been fortunate enough to do a fair bit of travelling.

As showerman says. Although they have to secure a premises, but that doesnt have to be a brand new door, just could be a temporary measure, then it’s for the ‘suspect’ to sort it themselves!

Tayto Cheese & Onion for me! 🙂

I was going to see Ribble but you answered your own question. I have a Ribble, lovely bike, but yes; crap service.

not sure on your model but I had a set of Thule Bars (and feet of course) on my BMW 3 series and a set of Halfords Bike Racks. Worked ok for me, but not 100% on yours. Suppose that doesn’t help much though…!

Where abouts in stockPort? I’ll keep an eye out!

Eno. Sorry no. Not a pretty lass.

muddydwarf – no. 😉

Sam i’m thinking of getting a VRS also, as getting rid of my Astra VXR. Your ‘defect’ sounds interesting….who done the remap?

For the vrs range on it’s 197bhp for petrol ( golf gti engine) and 170bhp for the diesel. Driven the petrol estate. Goes very well and loads of space! Just those White inserts on the seats tend to get a bit mucky after a while. But besides that an excellent car.

Bad news and sorry to hear it. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

Nasty accident which could have been a lot worse! Debris everywhere and an airborne wheel 🙄

I think some of the prepay credit cards are commission free? You load the money on first to the card then make your purchase. If you look on moneysupermarket.com you may get a better idea.

I went to see it on Saturday evening and it’s very good. I’m a huge motorsport fan. The film covers his early days, rivalry with Prost and various other bits. Its definitely worth a watch if you’re a motorsport / F1 fan, and even if you’re not.

Jeez….thats a bit high! don’t fancy that one bit!

they’re quite easy to find out the numbers within the code (if you know how!) . once you know the numbers you can get in using any sequence of the numbers. I’d not have one!

Some good deals at Ribble cycles.

We went to Rockcliffe (D&G) about 4 years ago for a week’s holiday and our Springer got a tick in her back leg. There is a hill in between Rockcliffe and Kipford and there is where she picked it up. Not knowing how to deal with it we took the dog the vet and the vet removed it. He said that Frontline is too weak for ticks so go for a stronger product (ask your vet) or he said if your dog does get a tick you can smother the tick in Vaseline which will suffocate it and then it should drop off. The area itself is full of ticks so it’s worth getting a treatment before you go (or have the number of the local vet!!!).

Have fun, it’s a nice part of the world. The cafe in Rockcliffe is good by the way, as is the hotel (Barons Craig) in Rockcliffe for some good beers’ and whiskey – oh and views 🙂

The Stella Cider is ok. had one the other night, just tasted bit like Magners etc, but i’m not a Cider expert! Tasted ok though!

1999 Rover 214
2000 Golf GT TDi – loved this car !
2002 Ford Fiesta, 1.4 – it was gutless!
2002 Ford Focus ST170 – excellent vehicle!
2001 BMW 318
2004 BMW 320
Current Astra VXR – love it ! it’s a bit nippy!!!

Went a couple of years ago, amazing place and prices were not so bad. Not expensive or cheap, just suppose what you pay at home for stuff! Not helpful I expect but the place gets my vote!

Stayed here a few years ago, not quite where you’d like but just a short drive. 1 bed and they take well behaved dogs! The owners have a small hotel on site and their restaurant is very nice. 😆

The LBS fixed it, just by whacking it dead hard with a rubber mallet. Harder than I dared too, but the chap said it’s quite common. Anyway all fixed, thanks to NWMTB in Cheadle and didn’t charge me a penny! Top work guys.

The Olympic Park is worth a look and you can go up the Olympic Tower. Also if you’re a car geek like me, the BMW museum.(The olympic park and and BMW place are near one another – get the tube) Obviously, beer and sausage!

yes of course, they’re stealing (if genuine!) off those pay tax and contribute!

born in liverpool, moved to Manc! miles away….. 😆

mini radio and always a leatherman!

anotherstan – did you tap the end of the Maxle whilst you were trying to unwind it? or whilst it was not under tension? I am having exactly the same symptoms as you describe.

it’s the grand national weekend this weekend in Liverpool, so Liverpool city centre will be rammed with chics! 😆

Well tried tapping it with rubber mallet and no joy, so a trip to the LBS is on the way…..

Tried the bike both stood up and upside down and wont move. Perhaps it’s what TJ and Retro said…
