    My experience is that new boots can be uncomfortable until you've worn them in. To be honest the most uncomfortable ones I had from new turned into the pair that I was most comfortable in once I'd worn them in. Which makes buying new boots a bit interesting.

    If you have a battery that's below 10v some chargers won't touch them. You can buy an intelligent charger, or a cheaper option is a simple plug charger for gell cells. I have a 400MA one that has resurrected many dead batteries. Handy to use over long lay up periods as well.

    Don't use bearing grease on brake components, you want red grease for rubber seals.

    Steering lock. Plus mine has an alarm which mean that if anyone touches it I'll know about it and I'm only a few yards away.

    I know that bridge on the A483 - it can be proper scary when the wind is really blowing. Best not to get blown over the side of the bridge as it's a long way down. The trick is to head for the pie shop at Corwen, get a bit of ballast on board and you're fine on the way back.

    But surely at some point you have to be able to have the reservoir level? That's all I'm saying. It can be on an angle to the bars but there has to be a point when it can be level enough to remove the lid off it.

    The reservoir should be level when the bike is level. When you need to top up the fluid, or replace it, you have to be able to remove the top of the reservoir. If it's not level you won't be able to do that.

    Thanks for that, I just sprayed my breakfast all over the table.

    I find good bike gear is really hard to choose. I have to try on loads before I find the right stuff to fit me comfortably. I’m pretty average in terms of size and fit so it’s not like I’m a weird shape, you just need to keep looking for the kit that suits you. Once you find it it’s well worth it. Plus, as I found out recently, nurses seem to think I look good in my riding gear, that’s got to be the ultimate test.

    As I said, many modern trained technicians haven't got a clue when it comes to proper engines. Fair do's to you for getting stuck in and having a go yourself. Invest in a manual if you're uncertain of what's what on it.

    From 25 December, or at a push from sunset on 24 December, until 6th January. Hence the twelve days of Christmas. Unless you deck your house with fairy lights in late October and take them down on Boxing Day, which only shows the world you're a numpty.

    What? It isn’t even Christmas Eve yet. I’ve still got all my shopping to do.

    All those sad people in their little tin boxes who were held up for a few minutes whilst children from our school crossed the road as part of their Christmas Lantern procession. We heard you blasting your horns. Didn't get you anywhere did it? We just walked slower.

    It is no coincidence that just as this appeared the US Air Force recorded an encounter with a UFO. Basically they're coming - and the proof is that anyone who figures it out is likely to be silen

    As a northerner - what's a coat?

    You want good quality stainless bolts or they'll rust very quickly. I get my stuff from here http://www.groveco.co.uk/

    We've had both, Netflix was fine but we ran out of stuff to watch and there were very few new films coming on it. Prime is also good, better for sets and original series than Netflix, plus you get free delivery, the downside is I don't like the amount of stuff you then have to pay again to watch. Prime also has a shedload of total garbage padding its 'included' material. On balance we dropped Netflix and kept Prime. But for a first time round Netflix is worth trying until you've watched everything that interests you.

    Nuff said. What is it with people who drive white cars? Recently I've notice even people who drive even bog standard white cars act like idiots. Maybe it the paint, it all started with white van man and it's spread.

    I think I'm with Guy Martin when it comes to football. I'll watch our local amateur team but professional football just overpaid and overrated. I'll be out for a ride.

    I am waiting for the Groat to be re-introduced. Either that or my collection of old thru'penny bits to go up in value.

    Nope. I am aiming for shut eye before working 7.00am Christmas Eve until 9.00am Boxing Day. Just bad luck of the draw this year.

    Ah who remembers back in the day when it was just left lying on the pavement - and if it had been there long enough it turned white. As a kid I used to wonder how come dogs did white poo - but I read somewhere it was due to minerals they added to dog food to pad it out which lasted once the organic content had broken down.

    I had to travel with a bloke in his humongous 4x4 who kept wittering on about how good it was and how nothing else would get through... basically being snobbish about anything on the road costing less than a 4 bedroom semi....when we were overtaken by a lass in her cute little Ford Ka. Silence ensued.

    Ha ha! (That was a joke - right, not a typo?)

    Of the three options and as a non-smoking, I would go for the ashtray.
