  1. I can't recommend them, but I've used MCE to insured me once when it was hard to find others who would (riding a 1200 with no experience).
  2. We were classy. Tanners for us.
  3. Christmas pudding is probably the best bit of the Christmas meal. Especially with custard. Cream is acceptable. Brandy butter and Christmas pudding is a serious mistake. We usually buy ours in January and put it on the shelf for the following Christmas, or even the one after. The older the better.

    And Tiggie comes with embedded chips.
  5. ...but not a very lucrative one. Most of us are too mean or too skint or too smart to get much revenue out of us. And there aren't many of us to squeeze, either.
  6. I got stung too but hey ho. Life's too short to be bitter.
  7. Nearly got stung myself a couple of days. The message was from a friend's hacked account, and seemed quite plausible, and came at a time when I knew they'd been trying to get hold of me but hadn't been able...
  8. We used to live on the edge of a village with a nice bendy road leading into it. You could hear the bike wailing and roaring as they hit the NSL. Can't lie. I loved it.
  9. ... a controversy that played into the hands of the top brand manufacturers and people (like me) who buy their lids (even when some underperform in the Sharp tests). But I've never seen any evidence that supports the controversy - a not a single study of data collected from real-world accidents that shows the Sharp tests up. I've a Shoei GYT Air. Like a lot of helmets with an internal sun visor, Sharp shows up a weakness on the left hand side (I think it's the left side, might be right). The weakness is associated with thinner padding where the mechanism for the lowering the visor sits. I reckon Sharp is probably right, and my head would be safer with the full thickness padding there, but I still chose this helmet because it's very comfortable, it's very quiet, it fits well, and the visor is a benefit I don't want to do without.
  10. Sounds like for your £200 you've avoided a lot of needless and expensive work and found a decent place to take the bike in future. Not such a bad deal, really.

  23. It's obvious: the lad crewing on the boat that caught the fish. Just happened to be after plaice and haddock in the Caribbean.
  24. Happy birthday
  25. Which shows it's properly designed to sound right.
