Basically 5 minutes of... something... followed by a poorly timed and executed overtake in to oncoming traffic. Bit dicey to be fair but I'm sure we've all done something similar.

Good!.

Right then my beauties, there's a few MSV days left this year - mostly open pit lane. Snet is coming up on 20th and Cadwell on 23rd. It's the last chance I've got before my voucher expires and I sod off on honeymoon. Anyone else vaguely interested?

We're sticking in that super-duper underlay stuff so it'll just be wasted heat.

It's me! Doing the central heating at the mo. Laid pipes under the floor in a bedroom and ran a pressure test - all okay so I put the boards back down and re-fitted the carpet. Walked in to another bedroom and looked at the huge pile of pipe insulation in the middle of the room. Ah shit...

I can help out here... The ones top right are brake callipers.

You can make your boards last longer by drilling holes in the plastic thingies underneath them and screwing some bolts in. Plus you look like a boss when they touch down and send out a shower of sparks.

Top tip: Don't pay too much attention to YouTube vids - the majority made by the public are often not the best advice. You'd be better off getting out and riding - it's only a diddy bike so shouldn't be difficult to handle. Cornering lines/vision through corners should be much higher in your brain than countersteering and have a much bigger impact on your riding.

I'd ring the insurer and ask them the question. Hypothetically of course. Linked brakes work fine on heavier bikes. The only problem I found is you have to change the rear pads more regularly.

If the screw locates on the frame you could weld a nut on the top of the screw and whip it out that way. Can you get to the back of it?

It sounds like the bulb isn't sitting correctly or the glass bit is on the wonk on the body. Either that or the reflector has gone bandy.

Got an email this morning saying that Halfords is knocking an extra 10% off their prices between 12:00 and 14:00 today. Might be the opportunity to nab that tool set you fancy.

Sounds like too much oil is getting in - could be your pump is stuck on max.

Or... Now bear with me on this one... We could burn excess body hair in power stations. Every time you had a hair cut or have a shave, all those bits of hair could be bunged in the furnace. This has two major positive impacts: 1 - essentially free energy from waste material, 2 - beards (and other facial hair) would be almost obliterated overnight. Those who chose to keep them would be persecuted and ridiculed for failing to "do their bit"*. *Religious purposes excluded.

We should put you in charge (geddit?) of energy production. Nuclear is what we should be investing in. Take Sizewell for example: quietly chuffs out energy and hasn't melted. Plus it makes the sea nearby nice and warm. *Insert mad hat conspiracy theory here for continuity*

Yeeeees. Have you got a manual?

wonder what would happen if I was to press the report button and get an admin to deal with this blatant user bashing? Ban him! I'll be going A134/17/52 (probably). Should just about scrape it on a tank of fuel in 2 1/2 hours.

The kid who was getting himself kitted up and on his dirt bike looking thing outside the village hall. He was doing well up until he gave the bike a nudge and it fell off its stand. Been there, done that, feel the pain but he's still a Nob.

f**king "independent think tank". The cynics among us might suggest that the US were looking for a reason to get the nasty European oil burners out and the UK govt have been gagging to put up RFL for yonks. What's the betting every man, woman, child and budgie over the water will try it on for a bit of compensation because they say a diesel Jetta once...

If they are anything like the stuff you see on some race bikes, it'll just be a couple of buttons on the handlebar linked to an actuator that's attached to the shift leaver which is all wired to the bikes electrics. Thay're pretty simple technology - the only slightly tricky bit looks to be the placement of the actuator. They go for around the £5-600 mark. Definitely worth a bash of you're handy with a spanner.

I watched it at work (no sound). Does his rear tyre pop or is it lift-off oversteer? The comments are great - who knew that the internet thought filtering was dangerous?

Yes. Shared parental leave allows both parents to share the time off (37 weeks I think). However, my company pulled a fast one and say that the maternity side of it (18 weeks full money) stops when she returns to work and the father isn't entitled to it. Secondarily, they took the opportunity to decrease the paternity component from 1 week full pay to 1 week statutory to just statutory all round. All I'm trying to get enacted is 18 weeks full pay followed by statutory that can be shared by both parents in whatever proportion they choose. Fair and square.

Sod that, I'm sending her back to work!

Bang on what I'm going for Al!

We'd just had our lunch and the wife asked me if I'd like fish fingers later. I said alright but I'd prefer it if she had a shower first.
