If you ever, and I mean ever need anyone to mooch round something like that taking photos - preferably at night, you be sure to let me know! I'm hoping to be allowed onto the Sellafield site at some stage, there's a lot of jobs up there and I reckon one could have my name on it. Imagine a nuclear reactor at night! I did have the pictures of a site visit, along with upwards of 100 urbex visits elsewhere... Then... my laptops hard drive went pop, and clever old me hadn't backed up the files as so many of them were massive RAW files. And I CBA to crawl all over London and Manchesters high buildings and underground bits again. The old bill had enough fun with me on that aspect of the hobby

Now that deffo is a coil being a fooker to be technical Guy cleans it and it runs good as gold... That didn't fix it, getting it out into open air and it cooling down fixed it. Coils sometimes break down at higher temps, so I'd replace the coil that hasn't been done yet and carry on and see what happens. I reckon that will be the cure.

In short: http://www.iraq-businessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/oil_refinery-22.jpg Instrumentation and electrical devices on oil refineries, oil rigs, power stations (including nuclear) and military facilities. The pipe work, major power lines and structures aren't my discipline. But the pressure vessels, their valves, the control rooms, alarms etc are all stuff I have a hand in I'm also hoping to veer into the aeronautical industry as planes are basically giant flying instruments A HP4 carbon with any luck

Pissing me off is extraordinarily hard! But with cowboys it's a short tether! I'm not a go round their house and kick off sort of person, but with a big loss of money for uncompleted building work, if I wasn't going to get my money back, I call my options "hostile claiming of a refund". Cost him what he cost you.

Having a good day! Get a call out of nowhere to see the big cheese at my company. Go up and see him, starts discussing how he's been going over everyone and selecting those for various things, from relocation, redundancy, to promotion. I'm slightly worried as a lot of people got a pay cut in my industry (oil industry not having the best luck right now). But I won't beat around the bush, I got promoted! I was an associate designer, which is someone who works with other associates under a designer. Now I'm one of the designers Got my engTECH so I qualify as a Design engineer, so my company are getting me cheap currently. But I was more than chuffed with salary attached to the promotion so won't moan The temptation to go self-employed is getting horrendous...

1. Tip off the local yobs where the man lives and tell them he's got a million in cash hidden under the stairs in his house. 2. Tell local yobs the man had the local bargain booze closed down. 3. With the use of a big dog, collect the dog eggs left by said dog and leave a few weeks worth on his lawn. Repeat as seen fit. 4. Tip a can of Nitro mors onto his motor 5. Go medieval and flog the f**ker. I hate cowboy workers... I had a problem with one once... Only once...

For 4 cylinder engines they either have coil packs attaching directly to the spark plugs, so there will be 4. Or there will be 2 coils, each controlling 2 cylinders, usually one for the inner cylinders, and one for the outer. If one goes, it is reasonable to assume the other could fail soon being a identical part with the same weaknesses.
-
If it cleared afterwards, a dodgy coil won't be found using the downpipe trick... I think at this stage lets see if the problem worsens. I wondered about carb icing as cold air and the way carbs function mean they can ice up. Unless your bike is modern enough to have carb heating. Right now it sounds fuel related, or coil. If it keeps on doing it let us know!

That's a fantastic idea! I know of a similar situation, and the potential father was banned from seeing the baby and her as it was feared he'd swab the baby for DNA to do a test. If she refused to do that, then it's a clear sign of what's what!

He's got a few things to defend himself with here... Firstly the woman is guilty of adultery... Which is a bad situation for everyone, as her new man has to live with the fact if she has enough of you, she loses all respect and finds someone else, which in my view means she has a tree to go and apologise to, it's probably been working harder than she ever has to produce the oxygen she breathes. So he doesn't need to go down a bad route here. The other is unreasonable behaviour, used for virtually anything unreasonable. This can be from drug addictions, abusive behaviour, or simply life aims don't match. If a couple break up, move apart, and have lives with new people this is even considered unreasonable behaviour, especially where a marriage is concerned. But that would be an honest way of dealing with it. With this one you really are going to have to take the guns out approach so she can't claim anything from him. It was her choice to fool around with someone else, regardless of whether it was her religion doing the talking, it is still adultery. If the blame can land on her, she can't claim anything! If someone else is providing the kids with a life, then he doesn't owe support either.

Facebook has very little logic really It quantifies how much people like something, even though this is entirely meaningless as in public/reality there is no such thing. It promotes free speech, but limits what you can actually say and is moderated. Just forget about it, if the person didn't make themselves known to you when they reported the picture then you won't figure it out. Be glad it wasn't one of these modern day idiots who I swear wake up in the morning looking for something to offend them

I just can't bring myself to do it... And when I've had girlfriends/mates who want them, often they change their mind where it will go or what it will be so much I end up sticking my foot down and telling them they're daft to when they are that indecisive. An avid tattoo lover will never admit they regret one, obviously we don't know their private thoughts but I'd think if they want more, or go over old ones, then they must have had some kind of problem with it. Our whole lives we spend changing all the time, we change our bikes, cars, houses, ipods etc. So I can't say a permanent thing is a good idea! So I just remove any chance of regret... And spend my money on bikes instead. At least when I regret those, I just sell it and buy a new one

Sure thing I might get chilly though hah! You should get a cleavage thread going in the adult section for mr Tankbag

While not illegal, if you pull out because someone flashed you... Even if the person who flashed you then hits you, they can claim to their insurers they were using the flashers to signal you were there. And due to the law they will win the case... I've been tempted when alone in the car to just let the car smash into someone who pulls out and does that. Then don't bother correcting them so they tell their insurers they pulled out as they were flashed. I'd probably have a new car and a mint in a payout... But I can't morally decide to screw insurers over as while they screw me, the other way around sends prices up for everyone.

I've been here nearly 7 years you mean to tell me?! A ton of memories, and fortunately barely any regrets. Congrats on the milestone. Hopefully more to come

It has been made very clear this compact most definitely is not an Olympus Tough Same applies to the 700D, which was somehow made to forget it could auto-focus, and I still can't work out how it was done, which has led to a further point that if it isn't working correctly, hand it back there and then so I can look into it. Otherwise frantic button pushing that results out of frustration to try and fluke a fix only exasperates things

I got... - Tools - A book by Brian Cox - Both seasons of "through the wormhole" - Xbox one with kinect and 4 games - A 40" Sony LED tv that I bought as a present to myself - Airfix models of an engine and a jet engine which I built and bored the crap out of moo with - New car mats - Blu-ray dvd's - Some bits for my car And a much lighter wallet as I tried to keep up with everyone elses spending on me Also had one very happy girlfriend, a camera she spent ages looking for on holiday, that was too expensive back here I managed to get hold of one day, and got a new manfrotto tripod to boot and took her by surprise on Christmas day... Some 4000 pictures have likely been taken already.

You have a car!? Thought the old ticker limited your licence options!

You could set up a business account with a bank and register yourself as a business... Then take some more of this work on. Being self employed can be very profitable!

On a 2005 bandit, it only has a oil cooler and an air cooled head. With bad service history, it was probably low or old and not removing heat properly... Give it a good ride with some high rpms, head heats, gasket blows, sudden pressure leak and temp change causes massive thermal stress and *CRACK*

They get round that now, when I last bought a new bike, the guy walked me around the bike and made sure when I signed for it they made sure I was accepting I'd been walked around the bike and told to be careful, and of the run in procedure. And the latter they've got round by recording the bikes rpm history. If you did 14,000rpm 2 minutes after switching it on and you're claiming they owe you a new head, they can tell you to get your wallet out You can throw that at the conspiracy theorists next time! If a manufacturer wants to get away with those things, they make you aware of efforts they've taken to make sure you can't take the piss. None of this cloak and dagger stuff conspiracy junkies love

You get people always spouting it's not important any more. The correction is, it is still important, just not as delicate as it once was. As in, when the engine is warm and has done a few hundred miles you can probably get away with a few stints at high RPMs. A manufacturer advises it for a reason, do it, stick to their schedules as it was designed to last under those parameters. Doing different because you believe otherwise is basically inviting problems for no good reason

For those that are still like: A hyperbolic function is an analogue for circular and triangular functions. Go back to high school stuff where "cos t" and "sin t" with a radius in unit form creates a circle, a hyperbolic function finds the equilateral hyperbola (the right half) In the real world, a hyperbola can be seen with the triangular lighting effect from some down lighting. It's that shape. Using it with differentiation, which is just a way of taking real values and deciphering their rates of change. You can work out using the angle between the vectors where C3 will fall. I think... http://www.stasheverything.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/math-meme.jpeg

Had 3 CBR600F's and all had this issue! 2 of them started rattling at 8000-10000 miles and then every time I replaced them they would only last a year or so, or another 10k miles before the rattle started again. People long assumed it was a CCT getting to the end of its adjustment and rattling, but this isn't the case. Essentially, the tensioner is breaking down and it stops doing its job across certain parts of the rev range, and as it wears further, it gets worse and allows the chain to thrash. A manual one is good, but it has a few drawbacks. On hot days where the engine is hotter in general it can rattle a bit, and it needs tightening every now and again, and as it's very hard to reach, it's a bit of a faff each time. Just buy a new one, and keep up with oil services etc, for some reason mine lasted longer with regular services... Or it could have been I was riding it a bit more casually at that time.

I go to the gym to weight lift... I need to eat kebabs, huge quantities of chicken, fish and so on just to hold my current weight of 13.5 stone. With each decade your metabolism moves at 5% less speed so you need better spaced meals and less bad fats as you get older I'm taking full advantage right now, 15% BMI
