    TMBF cook-off

    am I the only one who read that as forum cock off
  2. Is that worse than the trend for men wearing skinny jeans? buying womens jeans cos the mens jeans are not tight enough, I dont get it!
  3. looks like this is the year the music died I am saddened about it but as already said, there are lots of people out there loosing loved ones at this time of year.
  4. can i just ask a question, this man says he was scared for his life, yet he didnt pull over and slow down, he didnt move away from the lorry at any point to avoid being hit, didnt stop, then followed the lorry? i smell a story of goading and baiting here. and that photo of the dent, i am sorry but i would be suprised if that was done through that incident, it looks more like a carpark dink. hardly major, where are the photos of the side of the car showing this 3k damage?
  5. i do hope this is a joke. my sense of humour will be restored if it is.
  6. A motorcycle lecturer will be someone like me, with a motorcycle engineering degree and a teaching degree who can teach in all aspects of motorcycles from maintenance to CAD and CFD, materials , manufacturing and many other aspects. shame they are not paying london wages. and i am already teaching.
  7. some people, who have Aspergers, will latch onto something they understand and become extremely good at it. it does tend to be something black and white, right or wrong, such as maths, science etc. i have had students with Aspergers and they are awesome in some classes and really bad in others, you have to find their passion and then let them run with it. this goes with the repetition thing that people labelled with autism do, because it helps them stay centered in a situation they are not happy, maths and counting is a good one but repetition is good for learning maths so this is why they become good at it.
  8. the only advice i can give you is go to a car park and just ride about, weave, turn, go slow, go fast, get used to doing it, even on your 125 if you have too. then start to put it all together in sequence and play, have fun, it will come to you but you can not force this.
  9. I have been using P2 road for years, so this time i have gone for P3 race. and i LOVE them. glad people are saying wear is good too, but this pair are not going to see a motorway if i can help it.
  10. i sadly went and got a job so this is first time on here in aaaages
  11. i do not know why they are not using both lanes, i do not know if the merc was intending on filtering into the right hand lane at some point. because i dont know i am not one to comment. What i can say is that i have been the person in the merc before, but it was to help someone how was helping the traffic keep moving with his van. he was keeping pace all the way to the end so that the filtering lane was steadily moving rather than people doing the mercs suposed intended trick. but when it came to getting back into line the first car that he had stopped from coming past blocked him from coming over, so i stopped to let him through. strangely enough the car blocking him then thought he would like to get around me as a punishment for stopping. WRONG! he failed and ended up about 6 cars back. At the end of the day, some people like to queue and others dont, i have a habit when turning left on the way to work of going down the right hand empty lane and all the way round the roundabout. people seem pissed off with me when i join the left lane again cos i 'pushed in' but no, i just used my brain cell. not my fault i understand how a roundabout works
  12. have you thought that they were staying calm cos if cops ask for their video evidence they are in trouble too? tbh appalling riding in such an area but it was pretty nasty hit from that truck that didnt need to happen. have to say i giggled at the guy walking over "he ran a red light" hahaha no shit sherlock. i also thought the video was the biker running the red light at first.
  13. On a chinese bike. can not do that many manouvres at once on a Chinese bike, it'll break down.
  14. Yes I know lots of cats who love drinking from a slow running tap. Phoebe will run up the stairs in front of you if there is even a hint that your heading to the bathroom.
  15. Your in law probably never had them fitted properly. Plus years ago cardinals were horrible. Lenses are getting better now. I have just had to have new goggles, had to have a prism put in a lense now , as if they were not expensive enough, not far off £450 this time round but I never scrimp on my eyes, I have been wearing them over 30 years now and can not live without. Welcome to the goggle brigade

    How do you?

    If my man did that I'd just hire a sexy Gardner. If he is willing to pay someone to clean why would I . To be honest though, putting this on a forum is not the most ideal is it. Part of me thinks that it's a joke and the rest of methinks that your not right in airing your dirty laundry on a public forum. Obviously a lack of respect from you and possibly from her. Be an adult and talk to her and not us.
  17. My cat Phoebe was ill at about the same age because she didn't drink enough. It dehydrated her, left her bunged up and this had a knock on effect to her eating and lowering her energy levels.. once we knew this we encouraged her to drink from a running tap. As a novelty and made sure she did this every day. All it took was hydration and a big poo. Hope your little one pulls through.
  18. 'thank you for pointing this out, watched it today, have to say it is an emotional piece of art.
  19. makes you wonder what would have happened, and how often does it happen do you think?

    Nottingham...?

    i am notts born n bred, I dont live there but my family do and I miss the place. My brother lives in Mapperly now, has lived in the city for last 5 yrs, my rents live out towards mansfield. It all depends on where you are going to be working as to where you would want to live. drop me a pm and I could help you and also put you in touch with a fair few bikers up there so you would fit in straight away. Yes its crime rate is high but that depends on where you are, its a big multicultural city so there is bound to be crime. but at the end of the day its a vibrant and accepting city. you are allowed to be who you want to be there unlike some places (not naming swansea as closed minded at all) I would say go for it, you wont regret, my mate will help you with school decisions and things like that i am sure, her little one is flying through school.

  22. if you go to a good tatoo artist, not just a tatooist and ask them i am sure they could do something that means you could keep the tats you have but turn them into one awesome piece. if you havent got a full sleave yet then why not get the arm completed starting in black shading at the wrist moving into more colour as it moves up, dark days to happy bright times.
  23. I had no idea that you are able to swap the solicitors without it costing you money. I went with the insurance legal cover and thought that was it.
  24. That has very little bearing. Personal injury claims are dividied into 2 elements. General damages which is the claim element for the actual injuries themselves, and all injuries have a lower, middle and upper value, and it also includes a payment for pain and suffering. And then you get what is called special damages which includes all out of pocket expenses, such as loss of earnings, overtime, travelling costs for hospital appointments and the like, prescriptions, damage to property and so on. £10K seems like a lot, but in the grand scheme of things it is quite small in PI terms, and the estimation inaccordance with CPR rules is a maximum. It does not mean that this is what the actual value of the claim is. Does not get away from the fact that this is probably a faudulent claim and hopefully the claimant will get nothing at all. 10K is a lot, i got 10K after 6 months off work, physio for 11 months and many many many hospital appointments along with parents travel to look after me. his claim for 10k is wrong, its whiplash not broken neck. this is why there is something wrong with the system. since when has whiplash from a slow mo accident been worth more than crushing your knee in a potentially fatal accident.
  25. I would be asking him what he does for a living at 10K a day losses!!!
