Best students I met at uni were the old ones. At 18 I wish I had listened to them and gone back in a few years, rather than fannying around.

Bum gun all the way for me.

Have I ever told the ass-sponge story on here?

^ Can’t blame you – there were photos kicking about somewhere of the school around the late 80-mid 90s where it was falling into disrepair.
Stories of water running down class room walls when it rained (when didn’t it rain).

I believe it’s a bit better now….

I picked up a stud extraction kit from ebay for about 8 quid. seems to do the job

Williamson sounds right.

The small world of the internet.

John Aitchison was my brother, but I am sure Mairi was a couple of years older than her.

If you Facebook, there is a Lochaber High page and a Banavie Primary school page.

^ Can’t remember now. Got to be 20 odd years since I saw him.

He had a couple of brothers and sisters – Mari, Derri and somebody else.

I lived in Corpach from 1980-1990, Dad worked at Alcan, brother and sister both went to Lochaber High. Brother is 40 now so probably a couple of years younger than you.

Harvey Williams would have been your age though and his brother Jason.

I used to play in goals for Lochaber

Would you have known Alistair Cameron – would be 32 or 33 now?

The FC did fairly hack bits of it down though.

I used to end up riding up tracks there to find out where they started. Don’t get over enough now, but had some nice rides there.

It really needs a GPX file so I can have a look at it.

By date would be great if I had remembered to set the date on my camera, it is all over the place.

I think I will just have to go for the tried and tested, dump everything in the one folder and hope I don’t need any of them ever.

Ah well.

I will have to try and get motivated then – 4 months of baby, 4 weeks at the in-laws, various mountain biking days……….bugger.

ones which don’t burn out if i wire them up wrong, like the last one.

How much are the drivers?

Any recommendations of where to get drivers from?

I burnt out my last ones from that diy build thread on here.

Preferably ones which aren’t current specific

Surely you could just make it yourself with some salt, sugarfree orange squash and if needed a dash of sweetex or canderell

Groups of riders all on the same bike together.

I just don’t get it. What happens if one of them decides to get a different brand for his new bike. Does he get ejected from the group then?

I’ve been 180+ on a public road. Nearly got killed, never did it again. I did do it in a country with bog all road rules and drivers with little road sense, so I am quite pleased I came out unscathed.

Lifted from 2002 until 2009ish but then moving back to the UK and not having a gym on my doorstep demotivated me.

I miss it and think about doing it a lot. Work even has a gym on site that I can use for £10 a month, but I just don’t have time/motivation.

I know though that when I do workout, I have a lot more energy.

Maybe this will be the year to get back into it.

Yesteday morning, having just started to deposit my load in the single cubicle staff toilet. THe door burst open and the little troll fella we have as a technician burst in and shouted, my name, followed by the boss is on the phone.
I said I was having my morning crap, and would call her back, no he said it’s important.

I had to squeeze, pinch and wipe. Ruined my start to the day.

It also reset my poo clock, so I didn’t need to go again until I was part way through a lesson.

Years ago I lived next door to Generation Dub – Original Sin, Taxman and whatever the other one decided to become called.
lovely lads and really feel proud that they made it big, as they always said they would.

I did mine myself other than the worktop – note myself means getting big brother down for the weekend

I was picked up in a Mondeo hatchback a few weeks back for the airport.

I cannot get over how big it was inside and the boot was huge.

The estate must be massive.

We are apparently buying in an Offsted, which is great.

I guess I will be taking field trips that week with two of my classes – yes Mr Ofsted inspector, they genuinely need to copy stuff off the board every lesson. No Mr Offsted inspector, they can’t actually work autonomously at all, they lack social skills to do any work on their own or in groups.
Yes Mr Ofsted inspector, they will actually get 3 GCSE’s out of their BTEC course. Amazing isn’t it, their files look fantastic as well don’t they.

Mum is due to have surgery to check for a suspected precancerous cells/growth in her breast.

She got the letter telling her to go for the preop the day after it was booked for her.
She then got the offer of an appointment the next day after another letter turned up. Again too short notice for her.

It has taken nearly a month now to get to the point where teh communications have been good enough and in time to get it organised for next Monday.

The nurse that she spoke to appologised and said that basically once they had said she needs an appointment here are the dates available, it is out of her hands and into another departments.

I once had to do an emergency stop behind an elephant because it didn’t have it’s red tail light on and it was night time.
I turned a corner on my motorbike and there it was. Stopped about a foot from it’s back legs.

I once coloured my helmet in with permanent marker when a bit tippsy for a laugh. I was trying to make a green one eye alien.

Never realised there was a trail builders forum for up there.

Happy to spend some weekends helping out.

I always wonder about the dirty bar stewards that leave shrapnel everywhere. Do they do this at home?

Surprised it doesn’t happen more often with the packs of dogs on the streets there.

I’ve eaten dog a few times, don’t really rate it as a meat.

i work for stagecoach, they would take a complaint of this type very seriously indeed, i imagine first would take a similar stance.

Do they balls.

The missus had a bus driver who

1. Told her to f>>>>> off back to her own country.
2. Told her he didn’t understand f….ing foreigners and she should learn to speak English properly.
3. Stopped the bus short of the bus stop, waited 5 minutes, then drove to the bus stop and open and shut the doors before driving off.

I complained about him three times, all I got was a polite email saying that they would deal with it.

Last time she went on that route he was still there driving it.

I posted a thread on here a while back about appealing parking tickets and won.

I don’t see why you can’t try and appeal that one on the grounds of it not being clear.

pepipoo forum helped me.

Paed Prik Gaeng Moo, Kao Tom and Kai Dow.

Went to a local bedshop last week – entered and was asked if I needed any help, told them no thanks was just having a look.
Went to the first bed picked up the label to read it, lady came over, that I had just said not thanks to started spouting nonsense about pocket counts.
Told her again that I wasn’t interested at all in any help and was just looking.
Moved onto the next bed to be followed again and given more information about the bed.
At this point I decided enough was enough and started dismantling the display. Turning the mattress over, pulling out the divan base turning it upside down checking it over thoroughly.
Left it all over the place moved to the next one, started again pulling the mattress off, checking the bases mattress etc.
she got the message and stayed to sort out the displays, I had a quick look at the rest of the store and left.

Really bugged me that did.

Not Hayes Nine’s – we were up until around 3am trying to bleed them last night. What a crap design.

Endeded up doing top down, and it was ok until this morning, when it leaked out the master cylinder.

Thread closed

I was just looking into this for my mate as well.

I take it the wireless cable router/modem drom d-link etc is just a case of plug it in and away it goes with a bit of a tinker with the settings. or do you need passwords and usernames etc?

Bascially from what I can recall of the conversation he wants a laptop to listen to music on and surf the internet. He has a mac up stairs that he records his music and mixes on and is fed up carrying it downstairs to listen to it in the kitchen or living room.

He wants decent speakers built into it, lots of hdd space and reliable.

He wants the moon on a stick from the conversation last night, but would probably listen to sensible advice.

budget – £400 +-

Just remembered when I blasted my horn at a guy in a Benz in Thailand, while out in the missus’s car. He pulled up alongside me and showed/waved a gun at me, smiled and drove off.

Mrs. Q gave me a right bollocking.

What I don’t understand is that with cheap GPS and I imagine logistics software available to these companies, why can they not operate within time windows for pickups and deliveries?

Pretty sure if you take voluntary redundancy then they won’t pay up.
