Didn’t stop British farmers feeding unfit meat to British people - the BSE debacle should serve as a warning that British regulations under a Tory Government are only there to promote more profit for the already rich !!

I know a lorry driver and he confessed that they do it just for a laugh, apparently it’s boring driving a lorry at 56MPH on the motorway, so winding up car drivers is amusement, if they get any abuse they just radio ahead to their mates to do it again. I suppose this is better than having them watch porn on their phones while driving.

A while ago, before I retired, there was a case of the 'missing quiche' A group of the ladies in the office created themselves a lunchtime slimming club, they would take turns creating a lunchtime meal for the group then sit together discussing its relative merits, other dieting tips, slag off the other women in the office who weren't part of the group and on a Friday disappear into a conference room for a secret weigh in ( I got all this from an inside source ) One day a family sized quiche baked by one of the members went missing from the fridge. A very sternly worded email was sent out to everyone in the office, this prompted many (un) helpful solutions: "Don't worry, think of the calories you'll save' "It would only be a woman who nicked it as real men don't each quiche" "You are looking for either a really fat person or someone with lots of kids that pleads poverty" "Watch out ... It could be the phantom flan flinger !!" "If it had meat in it then all the veggies / vegans must be innocent" "If it wasn't marked with all the ingredients then you can rule out anyone with any type of food intolerance" " just put your full weight behind the investigation" The best thing was that the diet club kept on sending snippy replies, which prompted a respose of " how many calories do you consure when you bite " This kind of thing went on for an hour or so until a Senior Manager put a stop to it, I had a chuckle with him about it later, apparantly the diet club had tried to storm his office to demand that every one was searched and those not taking it seriously be disciplined, he was lucky that his very protective secretary was able to keep them at bay.

Oranges should stay 1.5M away from bowling balls, then they wouldn’t get juiced.

I have seen sime kind of request / law ? That says that when overtaking a cyclist you should leave a minimum of 1.5M However I have seen nothing that says a cyclist should leave the same gap when overtaking / undertaking. Talk about double standards !!

Good grief Back dated cake for every biking anniversary would create a cake mountain of enormous proportions, it would have to be fruit cake with much infused brandy to ensure it lasted long enough to be consumed before going stale !!

Name please! Beaky

A truly wonderful product - even my non-repaired tyres lose a couple of PSI over a month, so to have a puncture, repair it and then not have any air loss is miraculous, almost worth giving yourself a puncture in the first place !!

Was his name 'won hong lo' Apologies ... I'll get me coat

Take the adjective "Christian" out of that sentence, and it remains entirely true. No !! I said & meant christian not a generalisation. those I knew, perported to hold Christian values of tolerance and forgiveness & were the most hypocritical and devious people I have ever experienced. You might well say that they were not true christians, but they used the cover of religion to get away with it and I'm certain that they believed they were beyond reproach, and even worse, they could be absolved of their crimes if they admitted to them ( in private ) rather than being put in prison. There is no defence ... Religion is a crock of shit .. End of!! Now I know you dont give a shit what I think and it wont alter your life in anyway and visa versa. And commumion wafers are the worst kind of buscuit ever invented ... Worse than a sprout air buscuit !!

I’ve experienced and witnessed the hypocrisy of professed Christian people, and too many for it to be a case of a few bad apples. Mint Viscount anyone?

I know that the rule is ‘caveat emptor’ however I expected more from a large dealership - dunno why. Recompense in the form of a replacement disc would be nice, however I’m not sure’ll even bother trying, as previously stated ‘ was ok when it left here’ Maybe this is just a lesson learned and a warning to others.

I used to have a low level Zard pipe without a baffle on my old 1050 Speedtriple, used to love the noise on acceleration and banging and spitting flames on the overrun. Then I let a mate ride it Round the block, FFS it was loud, and as he slowed to turn in at the top of the road, and sure enough ‘ ’ I flinched and a small kid walking with his Mum burst into tears. Next day I ordered a baffle & then got a proper tune loaded.

So, I brought the 1994 Trophy over a year ago with 12 moths MOT from Carl Rosner Motorcycles, on delivery it was wheeled into the garage and I proceeded to strip it out to make a cafe racer. Having just turned my attention to the rear wheel, I have discovered the disc is cracked in several places, the worst shown here. Putting aside the weeping forks issue, should this have ever been given an MOT?

Why doesn’t everyone wear an airbag enabled suit? They are out there and are proven to be effective !! The bottom line on AGATT is that it’s up to personal choice and an individuals assessment of risk - some people are shit scared of their own shadow and some free climb and balance on top of sky scrapers taking selfies. Demonising people who don’t conform to your own standards is a human trait that the Internet gives more exposure to, rather than people just grumbling about it down the pub with mates or writing indignant letters to the press. Live and let live ( in this case anyway )

Or open

Look on the bright side ... at least he had both wheels on the ground

Not much worse than getting a sinking feeling when you reach for your phone / wallet and only finding an unzipped pocket.

I’ve got speed recognition on my current car and would not like it to be used as the de-facto speed limit identification- it’s unreliable, e.g. at a junction I use regularly the limit rises from 30 to 60MPH and it takes a quarter of a mile to recognise the fact.

Has he tried Saga?

While I think Shortbread is no good for dunking, I do think that taking a bite while having a mouthful of tea and letting it melt in your mouth is quite delightful. The only way this can be improved is by taking a bite while having a sip of single malt Scotch ...

Heaven forbid that a child might follow in a parents footsteps

Just had the rear tyre on the mighty Speedtriple repaired. Wheel removed by me. Tyre removed, patched from the inside, refittedand rebalanced for £15 by Spon End Tyres - Coventry & no chips on the rim Reminded me how tight 146NM is

Was listening to Radio 5 live phone in this morning - Some nutter called in and after a sensible start proceeded to say that some prophet in the bible had foretold that we must leave Europe. Surely the Leave camp have enough rabid foaming at the mouth,swivel eyed, closet racists to discredit them without that kind of endorsement

Was the non starting due to a tilt sensor that needed resetting per chance?
