Ahhhhh that's much better :violin: :icon-biggrin:

Doesn't it make you want to scream? We managed it with the bikes by simply not telling anyone and then riding off into the sunset :)

I didn't even know they were there and I visit Berkshire Fiesta Centre quite often :)

Chris, Sorry to hear that your trip down to our area didn't work out for you. Adrian

When we rode down the west coast to DRC in 2010 the answer to that is definitely yes - in a couple of years there will be one tarred road the whole way down :(

Warren, I hope they manage to find out what is wrong and fix it. Get well soon Adrian

Thanks

Just my luck :( Will have a think thanks - are the bump stops in OK condition as mine are well and truly knackered?

A long shot here - my Tank ('99 LWB 95) has just been in for its MOT and they had to bodge together a drivers side rear bumper light for it to pass but it needs replacing - any chance you have one of those? Thanks Adrian

:icon-biggrin:

A sad day - Mr Cruywagen and his hairpiece have retired SABC News will never be the same!

At least the council now has contingency plans - the first flood we lived through (no property flooding thankfully but 3 foot deep in the road) the relevant council employee buggered off for the weekend and took the necessary keys with him :( At the moment Tim has a VERY big swimming pool and I...

ahhhh the Dolphin then - and you know our local councilor then - Tim :D Yep its his field that has flooded behind us - makes walking the dog a bitch Thinking of moving somewhere that doesn't flood - like the Namib :)

The way it sits in my stomach after eating it probably :D

Yep we are in Purley and it is coming our way - the field behind us is flooded and rising :( We have just received the Flood Warning from the EA so have been out to get essential supplies like errr Tinned Ravioli - lots of tinned ravioli :) Hope it doesn't rise too much more or else our chicken...

I hate being under a flood alert! The waiting is killing me but I really hope any members down in the South West are OK! Adrian PS: I know this is a fairly random post but I'm a fairly random person :icon-biggrin:

The Chinese are doing a LOT of building in that neck of the woods :)

Mind you at least they built the motorway smoothly around those ones. I'd be very worried about driving on those Chinese motorways as the buildings make the roads look like an obstacle course :)

Wasn't there a farmer in Cumbria that did the same thing when the M6 was built?

Thanks - Did a (very) quick Google search and it seems to be an issue with Vbulletin but I didn't do an in depth look

Crispin, Yes it is - I tend to leave the forum open as one tab in Chrome (I have also seen the same thing in Firefox under the same circumstances - but I suppose that is to be expected - I haven't tried under Explorer)

Yep :(

:icon-biggrin:

Karl, thanks for the answer - we are looking into getting an 80 (we have a 90 with a duff hear :() for an exped vehicle so it is useful to know what 'quirks' they have :)

Karl, In the autotrader add you mention 'The usual second gear issue' - I apologise for being a numpty but what is that if I may ask? Thanks Adrian

Gary, I never ate there - always used to use the Spur :) When were you there - I used to work at the University - was the only Englishman there - they could never work me out :D

Yep - it is crazy - they wanted to change Potchefstroom - yep I lived there for 9 long years - to Tlokwe which is the brand name of the local Sorghum beer - even those in the Township there rebelled against that one :) Then they renamed the main street from Church Street (the one with most of...

Isn't Polokwane what Pietersburg used to be called? I thought Pretoria was changing to something like Tshwane? But I could be wrong :)

Seems to have disappeared off ebay :(

I love one of his comments during an interview 'Dress classy and dance cheesy' :) Well I have the second one down pat anyway :)

I remember when I was at school (a very very long time ago) when we wanted to ride our bikes to school we had to get our Cycling Proficiency test first - it wasn't too difficult but did teach basic rules of the road and about traffic etc. Maybe they could bring something like that back

Whoops wrong thread - I am getting too old for this :)

I had one that when I was on a motorbike at a roundabout and I was indicating to turn left. I looked in both mirrors - nothing, started my turn slightly leaned over and whoosh a cyclist went past my left side straight across - idiot - almost had to put the bike down - if I'd have run over him...

The BBC has it from start to finish http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-19943194

My condolences on your loss

Crispin, thanks - some great recipes there :)

Congratulations to you both!

Or those married to Saffers :D Good luck with the interview!

Beau, thanks for the explanation. Adrian

Geordie-bot - many thanks for your replies to my stupid question - it is really appreciated. What I need to do now is go and think about what to do - well that and ask the financial advisor (i.e. the wife :) ) about how much money we have - the (new radiator) I have is from Roughtrax - would...

Geordie-boy, I did the test you suggested after taking the beast on a 50 mile round trip so I presume she was warm. When I took off the radiator cap the water was up to the brim which I presume is normal as the water had expanded. The wife then rev'd her to about 4000 rpm and water came out but...

Geordie-boy, I must say that sounds like a good saturdays entertainment - better than watching Big brother or whatever other cr*p is on :) - Will look into doing that test thanks. Maybe I can get some of the local chavs to take a look for me - goodness knows they need a bath :D Am I right in...
