Grumpy Old Git

Us folk round here know it well! However, so do the fuzz!

Steve (and anyone else), As Bob (Tango) said but carry on through the gate at the end of the road into the Market Square and you can park on the right (after 6pm). The gate does not get locked on Saturdays as it is used by traders, etc. See you all later. Al

Sorry to have to tell you this but...... you cannot 'weld' wood!

very soon Available now!

Chinese = A series of restuarants and takeaways that provide food based (loosley) on the food eaten by people in China. Not to be confused with 'Chinese' - a type of enginnering and production methodology and process which ensures the complete failure and collapse of a design within a very short timescale (but shiny, often colourful and cheap to buy in the first instance).

Sorry but I cannot make this due to essential meetings in Bristol during that week. My thoughts will be with you all on that day and I hope the send off goes well. I too have fond memories of a good chap who liked to ride (and wear that 'Dragon Costume'). he will be fondly remembered by all who had the privilage of knowing him. RIP

I've fixed that for you Double fixed. Properly fixed! As for the 'Mods & Rockers era' - I was a "Mod on a motorbike" (parker wearing 500cc riding boy about town)! Were it was really 'at' was the Cafe Racer scene - spent many weekends up and down the A1 and A46 (Fosse Way). Some cafes are still there (but not many).

Two s.s.s.single beds on offer (both in the same room though!).

Thanks for that. Next year's is ready to go - Will be 'issued' on the 1st January.

Chairs are available - However, you are not allowed to eat them!

I nominate the above!

RIP - I am glad I had the opportunity to meet you before this sad event. Till we meet again. Al

Bar snacks will be available.

If you buy all of the lottery tickets available for a single draw, you will win! However, you will lose on the deal - Therefore if you do not buy any tickets at all - You are definitely better off and therefore a winner!

I assume you will be pursuing a claim against the Club or, at the very least, request that they re-design the ramp iaw the current legislation for disabled access requirements.

? Is that a shirt made in Chelsea; belonging to someone called Chelsea or manufactured by the Chelsea clothing company?

Dopooooon.

Why buy a camera? Just link in to the spy video capture download from the many 'innocent' satellites. NB. I work on the Skynet programme.

I was going to issue a 'dare' but any I could think of would either get you beat up or arrested and then I thought of this.... I dare you to complete the TMBF Challenge 100 (obviously a bit late for 2015 but, 2016 will be available soon!)

That wheel and brake system is deffo a 'Sinnis Upgrade Kit' - I believe Rantmachine is saving up to buy this kit!

Just a thought but..... What is 'crazy' about batshit? And...... Should it not be Bat shit?

Slight disagreement with this - A short in the starter motor windings will cause an excess current which in turn will cause the wires to get warm (and also blow the fuse - hopefully before a fire starts). A 'bad earth' i.e. a high resistance earth connection will add resistance to the circuit thus lowering the current through the wires. Any 'bad connection' will cause this. If the starter motor is OK and the solenoid OK and the earth (ground) connections/plugs/sockets all ok, then I would look for a trapped or chaffed cable that is 'shorting' which would cause the symptoms described. The easiest way to check for a cable and/or earth fault is as follows: 1. Disconnect and remove (or isolate) the battery. 2. Disconnect the main (thick wire) feed to the starter motor. 3. Connect a car battery (using 'jump' leads) to the disconnected terminal of the starter motor and the frame (mounting bolt). if the starter motor turns over OK, then suspect wiring / solenoid. 4. Remove 'jump' leads and re-connect the starter motor and disconnect the main (thick) wire to the solenoid. 5. Completely isolate the wire disconnected in 4 above (use insulation tape). 6. Reconnect the bike battery. 7. Connect the car battery (using jump leads) to the Solenoid connection and the earth (frame bolt). 8. Turn on ignition and press 'start'. If the starter motor turns OK, then you have a bad connection between the bike battery and the solenoid. if the motor does not turn, then either the Solenoid is caphooey or a starter circuit wiring fault. 9. Ignition off - run a wire from the bike battery to the small terminal on the starter solendoid. if the starter motor turns, then ignition wiring fault. if not, solenoid is faulty. Good luck.

Motorcycling would not be as good without the Sun.
